After a rocky start to breastfeeding, this little chunk has definitely caught up- and then some! At his 2 week appointment yesterday he weighed in a 9lbs 1oz. That's one pound heavier than his appointment 7 days ago! Yikes! To be fair, right after he was weighed he let loose and peed all over the scale and surrounding countertop. When I took him off the scale, 2oz remained on the scale. I think it's fair to say he gained less than a pound. But still, he is a little chunker! Nana Nan came with me to the appointment, and we ran into a friend of hers who was there with his wife and new baby, who was only 3 days younger than Caiden. Their baby was 6lbs at birth, and let me tell you- there was quite a size difference! Caiden looked like the incredible hulk next to that little guy.
Now that we're getting the feeding down, we're working on the sleep. Caiden is consistently wide awake from 11pm to 3am. The doctor, and pretty much everything I've read, says that at this point all we can do is keep things loud and bright during the day and keep things dark and quiet at night. Hopefully he starts to sleep better at night!
