Heavyweight.
On Monday I took Falco back to the lactation consultant for a followup. His weight was up to 8 pounds! That’s an 18-ounce gain in a week, which is great news since he needed to get back to his birth weight and then some. She also did another before and after breastfeeding weigh in, and he got twice as much milk from me as he had the week before. It was a much better nursing session than the prior visit, so I’m sure that had the most do with it, but I also think the medication that I started taking along with pumping several times a day is helping to increase my supply. It’s pretty certain that I will always have to supplement with formula, but seeing my supply go up even a little is good news. We’ll go back again after Christmas for another weigh in, and I’m hoping to find out that my supply has gone up even more.
