Weight up

Olivia who was born with 6lb 13ounces had a downward weight trend at her three day checkup.

Boo.

The pediatrician told me to do two hourly feeds. I have forgotten how exhausting they are. But thanks to grandma who helped me to keep an eye on the clock and prodding Olivia to wake up, we managed to keep up with the feeds. 

We had to return the next day to see if her weight went up. It did! Three ounces! 

Ok I cheated a little by giving her 40ml of formula. The doc said the average weight gain is 1/2 to 2 ounces so she overshot which meant she didn't really need the formula. Who cares, she looked like she was starving and I didn't want a de javu starving Sophie episode.
