Aibhlinn Nylia after birth was down to 6lbs 9oz. We weighed her today and she is back up to 7lbs. 4oz. So is she is gaining. She'll be two weeks old on Feb. 13. She may not be back to birth weight by then but gaining as she is, is fine. My children tend to be on the small side and gain slowly. Also a bf infant does gain weight alot of times at a slower pace.
She is doing well with breastfeeding. At night it can take her a few times to latch on but she does eventually latch on and suckle well. She is getting better and better at it. We are having plenty of wet and poopy dipes.
KianAdley is enjoying having mama's milkies again after months of nothing but the small amount of colostrum I had during my pregnancy. He nurses on demand all day and into the evening until around 9pm when he heads to bed. Each morning he comes into my room and nurses for a long time. After a night without him suckling my breasts are VERY full so he gets his fill of milk. He loves it! He is getting pretty chunky, too!
I think I finally gave birth to a baby that looks like me! So far I am getting comments that she looks like me although of course they do see daddy too.
