Must Be Doing Something Right...

We went to Weston's second pediatrician appointment on Monday for a weight check at two weeks and five days old. Weston was born at 7 lb. 2 oz, and he was 6 lb. 13 oz. at his pediatrician appointment at five days old. The doctor wanted us to come back for a check-up and weight check this past Monday (02/08), and I was shocked to learn that he was 8 lb. 8 oz. Weston had gained 25 oz. in 14 days! I was shocked, because they had told us to expect him to gain approximately one ounce a day, but he exceeded our expectations. He also has grown an inch and a half!

I was a little worried that I wasn't producing enough milk, and he wasn't getting enough from me, because he constantly seemed hungry, especially in the evenings and since I don't know how much I'm feeding him, it's hard to know. I was SO proud to know that I was feeding him enough and that he is growing and is healthy! It was a HUGE relief! I'm glad to know that breastfeeding is working for us despite the fact that I'm the only one that can feed him, unless I pump, but that's okay. It can be trying at times, but I'm so proud that we have been able to make it work!
