Caden is gaining weight! After we came home from the hospital, he went below his 10% weight loss that is normal after birth. (In Weight Watchers you get a key chain for losing your 10%). When this happened, the lactation consultant and doctor became very concerned. We had to supplement the feedings with Formula. We didn't like doing this, but it was necessary. Today, we had him weighed and he is at 6 pounds 10 ounces. We also weighed him before and after a feeding and he is getting enough to eat with breastfeeding. Yeah! I still have to pump in order to get the milk supply increased, but we are definitely making progress.
Who knew that with his genes he would have a hard time gaining weight. It must be a Finnegan/Gair gene that keeps him skinny!
Tomorrow he meets his Great Grandparents the Finnegans! Should be an exciting day.
