Success!!!

We have managed to get Brandon's weight up to 9 pounds and 10 ounces with the help of the formula on a daily basis. The doctor was pleased and now we will return to see her for his 2 month appointment instead of weekly weight checks like we have been doing. This means a little less stress for me!!!

Supplementing

Brandon's doctor has encouraged me to start supplementing with infant formula as she has been concerned with his slow weight gain despite every effort on my part to give him enough to eat when he nurses. I will be giving him 2 ounces twice a day to better meet his needs.
His weight at his last appointment was 9 pounds 2 ounces, with a goal of gaining a half pound a week.

Time at home




Brandon has started enjoying tummy time. We only spend ~5 minutes a couple times a day at tummy time but I think it is a good start. We also had to spend some time in the sunlight to help with Brandon's jaundice and I couldn't resist taking pictures of his feet.
