Weight Check

After doing all that was recommended (I didn't drink a beer, but had a malt instead) we've learn today that Erin gained 20 gm/day in the last 3 days which is IDEAL! We are very happy and looking forward to her next weight check on Tuesday. In the meantime, I'm in a higher calorie diet, feeding her every time she wants and keeping her warm...we are both resting better as well.

Weight Check

Another weight check today...She lost 1 oz!!! Still the pediatrician (Dr. Delago, this time) wants me to keep breastfeeding and to RELAX. She explained to us that constantly being worried about the baby's weight gain can be somewhat stressful for me and that might impact in the breast milk flow and production. Also recommended to rest better, eat more nutritious meals and to keep Erin warm with double blanket and a hat...and to go have a beer!!! We need to bring her back on Thursday to weight her again.

I'm 3 weeks old today!

Weight check

We took Erin to the clinic today to check on her weight. She weighted 7lb, 4oz. She gained 3 oz in the last week. Still not the ideal weight gain for a newborn. Feedings every 1.5-2 hrs was recommended and we'll weight her again in another week.

My little princess is growing

Erin is becoming more alert and aware
of her environment every day.
I can tell she recognizes my voice and she likes being held a lot.
She still enjoys short moments on her swing or bassinet by herself.

Happy tummy

My baby loves to eat. This is how she usually ends her feedings.
I find it so funny...

Big girl crib

Erin still sleeps with us on her bassinet,
but today she took a nap on her crib in her own room!
She woke up in a good mood, I guess she liked it :-)

A cozy naptime

It looks like we are skipping fall.
Today was so cold in our house that I had to have her wear hat and mittens for nap.
