First Doctor's Visit
Mommy's corner: We took Jason to the pediatrician for his 2-week checkup and confirmed what I had secretely feared...that Jason had lost weight and hadn't regained his birth weight back, yet.That sure explained a lot to me - it explained why he lost his chubby cheeks, and why he had increasingly been getting more fussy and unable to sleep well. The doctor encouraged me to continue nursing Jason, but wanted me nurse him every 2 hours and to top him off with formula after each feeding. I was asked to try this for 24 hours & return to the office to have Jason weighed again to see if and how much weight he would gain after following these directions. I left the office worried still, but relieved that we now had a "game plan" in place to help Jason.
