Another check-up
My midwife, Rachel, stopped by yesterday day to check up on us. Rockam is doing great! He's weighed in at 7lbs, 10 oz!!!! This means that not only has he regained and surpassed his birth weight, he's gained 2 ounces a day since last Thursday when we brought him to the pediatrician! Rachel says this is a pretty unusual (but good) gain because usually babies are considered to be on the right track if they've regained their birth weight by 10 days. I'm ecstatic because Stephen was another story.... always skinny mini and below the curve for weight. Obviously, he turned out OK :-) But, it's a relief to hear that I'm feeding Rockam well and don't need to fret about supplementing with formula, etc.
