sethrakJack weighed in at exactly the same as on Monday. ::sigh:: He eats eagerly, and at the proper intervals recommended by the doc.... Where is he putting it all?!
So Dr. Bautista told me to offer him Enfamil Lipil after each breastfeeding session, and bring him in for another weight check Friday. I warned him it'd be afternoon, because Mark's got a dental appt. in the morning. He said that was fine.
I am very unhappy that he isn't thriving on breastmilk like Mark did; but it's better to supplement than for him to not grow properly. ::sigh:: Still need to find that number for the lactation consultants and call; I can't tell if I'm producing enough. Breastfeeding this time feels totally different from last time... And I want to make sure supplementing doesn't screw up my milk supply, if I am producing enough. He needs the immune system boost, even if he's for some odd reason not getting the calories.
(It amuses me that the LJ spellchecker recognizes 'breastfeeding' but not 'breastmilk'.)
