Big Gainer

Here's Jillian in her car seat, heading to SWMC so that her Mommy can attend the Thursday breastfeeding support class ... and boy, has this been great!

The staff has provided Heather with help on how to get Jillian to feed better, including techniques and schedules. After following their advice this past week, we've already seen a difference. Today, when they measured Jillian's weight, it was 7 lbs 14 ounces ... a gain of 10 ounces in just a week. She now weighs more than her birth weight. They also found out that Jillian is getting about 2 ounces per feeding from Mommy. So now, we are going to Mommy's milk only, which should (hopefully) help with the gas problems that we believe the formula was causing.
