you may recall that Julianne and I struggled with my milk supply and her gaining enough weight.
it appears Caroline isn't having that issue!! She had her two week check up today (at 11 days old) and already exceeds her birth weight at 8lbs 5 oz (she was 8lbs 3 oz at birth). I am so relieved!! I figured things were going better as she sleeps great and is content after feeding.
So so things are going well! She also lost her umbilical cord last night which is great!
Overall things are going great. She has some dry skin and a tiny bit of jaundice so the doctor says strip her down and lay her in the sun a bit (inside in front of a sunny window) as jaundice is usual with breastfed babies. She doesn't have any crystals in her pee which Julianne did have a lot of so I know her jaundice is mild.
Means managed to take her to the office as well to get cuddles from the crew.
I am feeling good and managing most days without a nap although I do appreciate the quiet time when it occurs and will aim to nap on days I can.
