Our baby is losing weight

So one of those thing we big people work so hard at, losing weight, is
not so good for baby. The doctor was very convened about how much
weight Amelia has lost since birth and her jandice. He said we need
to get her weight up soon or she'll have to start supplementing with
formula, which we were hoping not to do.

Allyson and Amelia have been having trouble feeding but yesterday
seemed to get the hang of it. And now Allyson's milk has come in and
her boobs are scary big and hard. So we're hope full that we'll be
able to get her weight up. We have a quick follow up with the doctor
tomorrow so we'll see then.

I'm sure Amelia will be just fine. Tyler was the same way...did not gain any weight on breastmilk alone so we had to supplement with formula and it was all good! But it sounds like everything is going well now! Love all that dark hair of hers!

Dea was right when she said "when your milk comes in, you will have porn star boobs!" Ouch! These suckers could feed an army!

Allyson,
Sorry to hear that you are so uncomfortable. The rock hardness will ease up soon although your boobs will stay larger than normal as long as you are breast feeding. At least that is what I remember from 3+ decades ago when Eric was an infant. Of course, now that I am a Grammy, my memory is failing so you better get anything I say verified from more current sources.
Love, Grammy Janis
