Foster's weight checks

Since Foster is breastfed, the doctor pays careful attention to the amount of weight lost and gained in the first few weeks after birth.He was born weighing 7lbs 15 oz. At his newborn check 5 days later, he was down to 7lb 7ozA few days later he had gained 1 oz back and in his second weight check, a week after that, he gained 2 more ounces.

The doctor was delayed for his second weight check so, he had a snack. The doctor weighed him again and found that he weighed 2oz more after he ate. 

The doctor was pleased with his progress and even said he could go longer between feedings if he wanted. He probably won't go that long between meals though!
