Wow..times flies! Elise is growing fast and changing so much.
Last Tuesday’s appointment was very good. Elise gained 13oz in 8 days so the lactation nurses were happy to see that she was quickly gaining back all the weight she lost plus some! Today she weighs probably 7lbs 9oz or so.
The item of the past week was that Elise had been spitting up quite frequently. With our weigh-in appointment, it now appears that she was over-eating as my milk is truely flowing and Elise was gaining 1.5oz/day when all they really look for is 0.5oz-1oz/day. So the good news there is now feedings are a bit shorter as Elise is splurping down her milk quite quickly. This gives mommy a little more time between feedings to keep the house running and get some rest and exercise of her own.
In a couple days we’ll go in to re-weigh Elise and see if the little changes we made in her feeding routine are still getting her to gain weight, but closer to the targeted range. So as Mommy concentrates on getting a good feeding routine, Elise is getting ready to pose for her first baby photo shoot. This weekend Daddy and Mommy plan on taking photos for Elise’s official announcement, so keep your eyes online for more fun shots in the gallery.
