Aden had his 6 week check-up yesterday. The doctor said he looks great. He is one ounce shy of eleven pounds...which means he has gained almost five pounds since birth. Wow! Even though he is only eating five minutes a feeding, he is still gaining weight. The doctor does not think he is colicky. Because I am producing so much milk and it is coming out fast, she thinks he is only getting the "sugar" milk which is not enough to sustain him for more than 2 hours at a time. She gave me some things to do that should help. And now that all of our doctor's appointments are finished, I should be able to relax a little more next week and see if I can get him to eat longer, which means he will get the "hind" milk that will keep him full and give him the nutrients he needs. With all that being said, he slept from 8pm to 1 am last night, and then until 5:30 am. I'm not complaining! I feel refreshed this morning.
6 week stats:
Height: 22 1/8 inches
Weight: 10 lbs 15 ozs
Head: 37 1/2 cm
