He had his checkup on Monday and weighs 11 lb 12 oz with his clothes on. :) So, yet again, all is well with the little guy. We will probably start selective vaccinations around 12 weeks.
Breastfeeding is going somewhat better, and I am still pumping and storing milk. I started back to work Wednesday on a mostly MWF schedule. I'm glad I'm going back part time for now, as I still am not getting much sleep! I found a great room in the building with a lock where I can express milk, probably 3 times a day once I am there a full day. Pumping is hard work! So many details and things to coordinate. Breastmilk feeding--whether from the breast or pumped for a bottle--provides such a sense of accomplishment, though.
Aww, I am glad you are both doing so well. What a cutie!
ReplyDeleteAlso good that you have a supportive environment at work, though I imagine it must still be hard to go back.
Hi, congrats on breastfeeding! You are making a great decision. It takes a while to get use to it, I think after about 8 weeks, we had a great rythym and she was starting to develope a routine. She got more efficient and it was just so easy! Pumping at work is a pain and that is a learned art in and of itself. Sounds like you are doing great though mommy! My dd is 23.5 months and nurses about 3 times a day. It's so rewarding. I will be sad when she weans.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work. As you know, nursing is very special.
And congrats on your little guy too!
