Today we went back for another doctors appointment and I'm excited to say that Evan is already back to his birth weight!! He has gained 4oz in a week which is above the minimum expected. Usually babies regain their birth weight around 2 weeks and Evan did it in 10 days, I'm so proud!!
I can now stop worrying about whether Evan is getting enough milk, it seems like he will certainly tell us if he needs more, since he is currently doing wonderfully!
Since I am inducing lactation and it's unknown how much milk I can produce the doctor is going to weigh him again in a week to make sure he is still on target. I think I am going to make another appointment at the breastfeeding clinic so I can see how well I am doing with my milk supply.
Today I am relieved and a little encouraged.
Thank you to everyone who has sent me advice or words of encouragement, I am listening and I'm not ready to give up breastfeeding quite yet.
