Well, I took baby to the doctor today for his 6 month check-up and shots. He hasn't been gaining enough weight. The doc said to not worry because he makes up for it length-wise. He explained that Desi's height is above the average mark, so that tells him that he is perfectly fine (among many other observations). He advised that he just needs an increase in calories. So, I have to supplement with formula and start him on his solids this month.
Obviously I am not producing a full 8 oz of milk (4oz from one breast and 4oz from the other). Because my poor baby has not gained enough weight. I wish that I could provide him wiht all the milk he needs from me, but at this point, I want him to grow so I got to push my feelings aside. He is hitting all milestones, so I know he is healthy. I am on a mission now. Desi has got to gain that weight!
I went out and bought Enfamil's Prosoybee (spl?) thinking that would probably be close to what he is getting from me. I gave him some in a bottle and he really wanted mommy's milk. He kept nudging my breast and hitting it...my baby know's what's best for him! LOL! No, what's best for him now is to gain that weight. I also have to keep in mind that he had his shots today, so he is pretty irritable. I will give it some time. I am going to try to supplement with formula for right now and see how that goes. Who knows, I may be able to produce more milk if I do this.
Is anyone out there in the "motherhood" going through the same thing? Please share your stories. I'd love to hear them and see how you are doing with that transition.
Oh! I bought the Baby Bullet! I LOVE it! So far, I have pureed peas, sweet potatos, bananas, apples, and squash. I can't believe how much money I am saving. For example, 1 sweet potato produced 10 servings! Imagine if I had to buy all those jars from the store! I only bought 1 sweet potato for a few cents! Woo hoo! If you're not on the Baby Bullet tip yet, I suggest you tip right on over to the website and check it out. Go to www.babybullet.com .
Alright, I am signing off. Night night!
Desi was probably 3 months in this photo. He was knocked out! LOL!
