Pediatrician Report!

We had our checkup at the pediatrician yesterday and Tyler got a clean bill of health. He now weighs 5 lbs 13 oz, up 12 oz from last Thursday (6 days). He's eating well and this shows that its all working. The doctor checked hm out from head to toe and all is well so we go back in a month for his 2-month appointment, which will include shots (boooo!). After that poiont we can take him out to the mall and such so I'm hoping we can take him to work to meet everyone, which will be fun!

We've upped his feedings to 70 ml per feeding and will continue advancing that over the next few weeks until he's around 90 ml per feeding. We talked to the doctor about how to introduce formula and although we're not ready to do that, we probably will over the next month or so. We also got the greenlight to let him sleep at night until he wakes up to eat, rather than waking him up every 3 hours to eat. He seems to get hungry every 3 hours anyway, so I'm not sure that will gain us any more sleep, but we'll see.

Not much else is going on here. Eric goes back to work on Sunday so we're trying to figure out how that will work with Tyler's feeding schedule - he's been a huge help but with having to work 10 hours/day he may not be up for the late night feedings on the nights before he works the next day.
