Last Friday, we had a lactation consultant come in. I was worried about a couple of things:
1. Is Jack getting enough to eat through breastfeeding?
2. Is there anything I can do to help him feed more efficiently and potentially reduce gas?
3. A gut check on some of the things that we have experienced in the first 3 weeks.
After starting with a contentious Q&A (thanks Justin), the consultant took an initial weight. Jack hadn't been weighed since day 5. We knew that he'd gained weight, but weren't sure how much.
Let's just say that I don't have a supply issue. Jack weighed 10 lbs 4 oz. At a normal weight gain, he should have weighed 9 lbs 12 oz. So, we have a big boy. :)
If nothing else, I can cross off one of my concerns!
Check out this belly:
Has he outgrown the tiny onesies? What a serious face! Still a beautiful baby.
