Weight Gain
Jonah gained over a pound this week! YAY! He actualy gained 1 lb 3 oz, so he's up to 10 lb 14 oz. The doctor was very pleased. She said "I think we've proved our point." She said that now I can slowly reduce the amount of formula that he is getting, but that he should still get at least two bottles a day. SO now I've got to get him from 20 oz. of formula a day down to about 10 oz. a day. It will probably take a couple of weeks, but I am excited that he is getting bigger. His face is much more filled out, and I know that he is doing a lot better now.
What a relief.
I'll post pictures soon.

1 lb. 3 oz! That is wonderful news! I know exactly what you're going threw and I'm so sorry to hear that you've been having so much trouble. Having to nurse and bottle feed isn't the greatest, but it's so rewarding when you see the pounds pile on and you get that relief that your baby's going to be just fine:-) Plus there personality and attitude is so much better. Have you noticed any change in that?
