Update on Pip

Philip was weighed on Thursday and he was all the way up to 6/13. Such a difference between my GP's scale and the pediatrician's. Anyway, we have now decided to supplement with formula instead of breast milk, largely because I am no longer pumping and we are out of breast milk. He loves the formula. I am happy because he is doing well. He takes the bottle very well (and is even getting faster!) and sleeps like a boss. Our new routine looks like this:

7am wake up, breast feed both sides for approx 20 mins, bottle feed a few ounces. 

10am breast feed both sides 15-20 mins per side, bottle a few ounces then nap for a few hours. 

1-2pm wake up, breast feed both sides, bottle a few ounces

4-5pm breast feed both sides 15-20 mins per side, bottle several ounces

7-8pm breast feed both sides 15-20 mins per side, bottle several ounces, go to sleep by 9-9:30 

4-4:30am bottle feed 3-4 ounces 

7am start over! 

Really not so bad for a tiny baby. Maybe it'll even stay this way for a while ;).
