Vindication
July 8th, 2009 | Published in Uncategorized | 1 Comment
At the hospital, Kim and I were thrilled at how well Oly took to breastfeeding. It was much, much easier than it was with Murrow. However, one of the nursery nurses and the doctor on call started getting really uptight that she wasn’t eating enough…it even came down to a threat that they might not let her leave the hospital…getting extremely pushy trying to get us to supplement with formula. Drama ensued, with the final result being that we didn’t supplement and they let us go home as long as we came in for a checkup early this week.
Today was the vindication. Usually babies regain their birth weight in 10 days to 2 weeks, however a week after birth Oly is now 7 lbs 12 ozs…a full 5 ozs over birth weight.
Suck it Houston doctors.
