After leaving the hospital, Em dropped 4oz. This was normal and 4oz was less than expected too! She weighed 6lbs 15oz and at her 1 week check up she gained 2 oz! I was so thrilled, because I was worried she would have dropped more weight, as I was told to expect, and that the pedi would try to get us to supplement with formula since I was breast feeding only.
A week later we went back for our 2 week check up and Em gained 11 whole ounces!!!! The pedi's jaw dropped she said that was excellent. She said we should expect a 1/2 ounce to 1oz of gain a day, so that would mean Em should have gained about 7oz's at most within a week and she gained 11! I was sooo happy! My baby and I are a great team! Daddy says I'M the champ..xoxo
