I'm sure being that I'm a new mama you assumed the title of this post was referring to me. In a way, I wish it was me because I'd rather it be me than my babies but unfortunately, it's Kellen. I knew he was a tiny little guy, but imagine my surprise when I took him to his 2 month appointment and he was in the zero percentile...... ZERO! Talk about knocking this confident mama down a few pegs. What's most frustrating to me is that I felt like breast feeding was working this time and that we'd gotten the hang of it all. So now, we've been supplementing with formula and I've been breast feeding him around the clock. The Doctor also prescribed him Zantac to help him keep food down because he's been spitting up so much that it's possible that's the problem.
My intuition tells me that it's not a breast feeding issue so I'm not ready to give it up. I'm just praying that supplementing combined with the medicine will help his weight come up so I feel better about it all. Obviously he is my main concern so whatever I have to do, I'll do but for now, the breastfeeding will continue. I'm used to a super chunky baby because of Farrah so having a little peanut has been different. I'm ready to see some rolls :)
On another note, my weight is great! Haha. Much different than with Farrah where I held on to almost all the weight for a couple years and I still never got back to my pre pregnancy weight. From the last day of my pregnancy until now I've lost about 45 lbs. 35 of it just came off on it's own and then I joined Weight Watchers about a month ago and another 10 has come off since then. Maybe that's the reason I'm not ready to give breast feeding up! :) So that's what's new here. I've been so busy feeding a baby that my blog has not been updated as often as I'd like but now you know why. Until next time!
