Another doctors appointment and Ms. Lettie is almost back up to her birth weight, which is right where she should be! My milk came in when she was 3 days old which was a relief. I did break down and supplemented once with formula, it was on the third night and she just couldn't be consoled but once she ate she was as happy as a clam and went right to sleep!
I also learned at this appointment that babies who are solely breastfed need a vitamin D supplement because it's the only vitamin that isn't transferred through breastmilk. So we picked up concentrated Vitamin D drops and she will get 400 iu per day. I love learning new things!
She eats every 2 - 4 hours during the day but sleeps about 4-5 hours at night gets up to eat and then goes back to sleep for another 2-4 hours. She is a good little sleeper already so I know I'm a lucky momma in that aspect. She is easily consoled and loves to snuggle with mommy and daddy.
Her measurements: (I think the CNA wrote down the percentiles wrong :( but I will share what I was given)
Height: 20 in = 49th percentile
Weight: 7lb 5oz = 29th percentile
Head Circumference: 14.25 in = 87th percentile
