At Foster's 1 month, the doctor said he'd like Foster to gain weight a little faster than he has been gaining. The goal is to gain 1 oz per day.
On 3/21, he weighed 8lb 4oz so by his next check in 2 weeks, they would like to see him at 9lb 2oz.
The Lactation Consultant, Alice, helped us come up with a plan to supplement pumped breastmilk.
When we did a follow up weigh with Alice 5 days later, Foster weighed 8lb 9oz. He gained exactly what he needed to in that time!
A week after that, he weighed 9lb 5oz - a 12oz gain in only 7 days!
At his official weight check at th doctor's office, he weighed 9lb 4oz which is a whole pound more than he weighed at his 1 month check.
