Pesto poopies have returned to our world. we'd hoped to escape it with Owen, but no, Teresa started a 4 weeks, owen is on track. So I went to breastfeeding support today to get a jump on fixing him before a couple weeks go by like it did woth Teresa.
I talked to Pat. OK, OK, I cried to Pat, no shame here.
she wants me to limit dairy, but no reading labels. She wants me to give owen Acidophilus (Im already taking it). She wants me to "block feed" Owen (he only feeds from one breast every 3 hours); this is to make sure he is gettinghind milk.
She wants me to call Fri/Sat to tell her how we're doing -- we should see improvement by then.
In the meantime he gained 12 ounces the past week (are we sure he's related to itty bitty T?)

I went to the support group today so I could weigh the growing boy. He is NOT following Teresa's footsteps. This husky fella has put on 1/2 pound a week since birth; yep, a 10 pounder 5 ouncer today. granted that was with a full belly - but no clothes.

it was really cute, Teresa wanted cuddles with Owen and wanted to read Raggedy Ann with him. He was awake while she adjusted his hat and talked about elbows and facial features but I think slept through the story...Teresa was pleased!! very sweet. This morning she was full of hugs for him. so far things go well!
