Follow-up pediatrician appointment - Maritt

We went back to see Dr. Brennan because he wanted to be sure Maritt had not lost any more weight and to be sure that the breastfeeding was going well.

YAY Maritt!!!
She did a phenomenal job - he was super impressed... In fact, I think he was a little shocked.
She gained over a pound and a half in less than a week and a half or so...

Way to go!
Though, as I've had a couple of nurses now say to me, "she's drinking cream, not milk!"...
It's all that pre-Christmas eggnog I've consumed - it helps make that milk creamier =).

She's doing extremely well with the breastfeeding which is wonderful. She has a great latch and while she takes her time eating, manages to do it well so we can't complain. And, as Dr. Brennan said, she'll just learn how to do it even more efficiently as the days go by.

Good job Maritt! =)
She got an A+.
