Mommy, Daddy, and I went on our first venture out since we came home from the hospital. We had to go back to the hospital so that Mommy and I could get checked out to make sure we were doing ok. We met with a postpartum specialist who checked Mommy's blood pressure and asked questions about how she was healing and how the breastfeeding was going. The specialist said when I left the hospital on Tuesday, I was 6 pounds 12.5 ounces, which is normal to lose weight in the first few days of life. When she weighed my today, I was 6 pounds, 12.6 ounces. They want to make sure that I didn't lose any weight and am at least starting to gain weight which I am!
I sometimes like to suck on Mommy's breast, but mostly I want what I want and I wanted it yesterday. Daddy says that I get that from Mommy. Mommy can't give me the milk that I want and the mass amounts I want it in so she is feeding me some formula, breastfeeding, and pumping out the milk for me. She is one busy lady!
The specialist also checked me out. I have a little jaundice(another reason why Mommy had to give me some formula) but the specialist said it looks good and for my parents to keep and eye on it. I lost a little weight(which is normal the first week) so I now weigh 6 pounds 12.6 ounces.
