We went to the doctor today for a weight check. I am so happy that the babies have started gaining weight. Last week at the 2 week check-up, the doctor recommended that we start supplementing with formula since the babies were not gaining weight like they should. Over the past week we fed each baby 1oz of breast milk and 2oz of formula on a 3-hour schedule. They seem to be happy! Below is a list of their weights over the past few weeks.
Foster:
- March 3rd- 5.14 lbs
- March 16th- 6.8 lbs
- March 23rd- 7.11 lbs
Anna Kate
- March 3rd- 5.5 lbs
- March 16th- 5.15 lbs
- March 23rd- 7.0 lbs
I also asked the nurse about Foster's dry skin on his forehead. He has early signs of cradle cap. She suggested that we wash his head with Sebulex. Hopefully it will help.
