Weight trending: Birth 6#12 oz
night of March 14th 6#8.8 oz
discharch weight 6#6 oz
Pediatrician's office Measurements:
weight: 6#4oz (25th percentile)
length: 20 inches (50th percentile) (it's amazing how when they are born with nice round heads and no molding, they don't shrink)
head circumference: 36 cm (50th percentile)
The pediatrician was pleased with his physical exam as well. Circumcision is healing well. Jaundice looks fine. His bilirubin level before leaving hospital was only 6, so low risk anyhow. Otherwise we had a long discussion about our fears of breastfeeding/breastmilk not going over well and the possible need for soy, only because of Rowan's history. At this point, Eddie is acting fine (despite his lack of sleep the last 2 nights and constant eating) Doesn't act uncomfortable, and sleeps great during the day (of course). But we are hoping that lack of sleeping at night is just the lack of breastmilk at this point and that it will get better in the next day or two once the milk is fully there. The Pediatrician was open to us trying soy if we think we are running into issues. But he fully encourages us to continue with breastfeeding at this point.
We will be back tomorrow sometime for a weight check, hoping that we will be on the upward trend before the weekend!
