Update on my Peanut

So, after talking to the lactation consultant on Mon. morning, she wanted a weight check to see how we should proceed after all this "building". After a headache and a half we finally got him weighed Mon. afternoon. Who would have thought it would be so hard to get a baby weighed!! Anyway, he gained 2oz. That might not sound like much, but in 3 months he gained a little under a pound so, 2oz. for a week is pretty good! Another call into Pat Ross, who promptly called me back later that afternoon, confimed that all my hard work had been good and I should probably keep it up to the best of my ability! What!!! Keep this up!!!! I was doing "okay" thinking that this was going to be a temporary thing for a week, now I have to keep this up!!!! Oh boy!! So she asked me, key word, asked, which I thought was just great, how I felt if Dr. Kotin wanted to supplement with formula. Thank you, I said, what I feel about that is; I feed him every 2hours and pump for 10-15minuets afterwards, solids in between and now you want me to supplement!!!! Where is the little guy going to put it? So, to answer your question, I feel like N-O!!!! Is the boy malnutritioned? No. Is he unhappy and seemingly hungry all the time? No. Is he growing and healthy? Yes. So back the f$%& off!!! Excuse my rage but really? A busy Mommy can only take so much! So after a talk with the pediatrician, I agreed to see a nutritionist. I will track what Ryder will eat for 2 days prior to the appointment and she will be able to analyze his calorie intake and how appropriate all this "over-eating" is. The one thing I like about this and probably why I agreed to it is that if she see's that he is doing the best he can and still not gaining, this is probably just his body type and that's that!! Really, I don't need a degree to tell you that. Well maybe a degree in Mommy 101! Anyway, stay tuned for that appointment, Apr. 8th I believe. For now, pump, pump and pump!!
