Well, alot has happened feeding wise in the last month - I decided it was time to start supplementing with formula- Our little man just didn't seem satisfied or happy later in the day, or in the evening, and bedtime was hard, he cried hard when going to sleep-
I started him on an evening bottle, and once we got the right nipple/bottle combo, he started going to sleep with a full belly, very little crying - stil waking to eat at night, which I am also using formula for - but here is the amazing news- he is gaining weight!
He weighed 13lbs 8oz this am - up from 12 lbs 4 oz on the 15th - 1.25 lbs in 14 days...
Think maybe the lad was hungry? I know BF is best for baby- Christopher never got anything else and was 20 lbs at 3 months- but every circumstance is different, and I am SO happy we made the decision to give him another source of nutrition-
He is nursing 2x a day right now - and the rest via bottle- and is a happy camper-
We went on a little vacation last week - back down to Napa to visit friends, to Marine world in Vallejo, and to SF, to the exploratorium and fisherman's wharf. We had a good time!
Off to Michigan in a couple weeks to take the baby to meet Ray's family- now THAT should be an experience, going on an airplane ride, I feel for our Row mate!
