His weight is an issue. While he is gaining weight he isn't gaining it fast enough. He is supposed to be at least 11 lbs 6 oz. The doctor does not think it is a supply issue, heck she called me super woman after hearing what I've been pumping. She also thinks he's been asking for food enough. She also thinks he is eating the right amount at a time based on what he eats st day care. The current idea is that my milk doesn't have enough calories in it and that's why he isn't gaining.
So we are experimenting. Currently we are going to add formula to his diet and he will get his weight checked again next week to see if that's it. She gave us a different type of formula as well. We half and halfed the first bottle which he allowed Brian to give him and day care will give him a bottle or two. So he will get mostly breast milk at day care but some formula this week and at home he will still be exclusively breast fed. Hopefully this solves the issue.
He did a first at the doctor's office! He rolled over front to back! He scared himself silly and spent the next 10 minutes crying hysterically and this was before the shots! He has been working on rolling over for awhile now but hasn't done it until now. We have also been doing tummy time on beds which make it harder for you to roll over. I wonder when he will do it again!
On to his two month photo's!
