Greetings everyone! Another week is beginning and I was just looking at my blog and realizing it's about time I updated with something new. I took Becca to her weight check this morning. At her 6 month well-baby visit, the pediatrician wanted me to come back in one month to check her weight to see if my bitty little girl is making any progress. Well, at 7 months old she weighed in at a mere 13 lbs, 4 oz... so I was instructed to start supplementing three times each day with formula. Well, I fed her with formula right after nursing her at lunch and at dinner today and I was shocked at how much she ate! I feel sooooo sad that I've been short-changing her for so long with the nursing. Apparently I'm just not cutting it with my milk supply. Oh my! This was a surprise to me, because I never had to use formula with Emma.. she was never as small as Becca is. Well, anyway... I'm distressed at the fact that my little Rebecca has been needing more to eat, but I'm also relieved that she's finally getting the food she needs to start filling out and hopefully get a little chunkier. :)On a lighter note, below I've posted a video of Emma dancing along during Dancing with the Stars last week. I mentioned in a previous post that this has been one of her favorite things to do recently. She loves dancing and I get a giggle at how serious she'll be about it. The video below is a little dark and she spends some of the time staring intently at the dancers on tv trying to think of how to imitate them. I like how at the end of all her dances she collapses on the floor for a dramatic and theatrical finish! :)
Man, that's hard about nursing! I'm glad that little Becca will not be hungry anymore though!
ReplyDeleteYour a good mommy. You just get to feel guilty about one thing or another for the rest of your life, like the rest of us. That's part of the territory.
ReplyDeleteMy, even though the video was dark, I could see Emma's flare for dancing. I'll bet that little girl would love a dancing class someday.
Your little Becca is a tiny one!! I hope the formula helps:) I too feel like my milk supply is way lower this time around. Does becca like the formula? And is she digesting well? I hope so:)
ReplyDeletePS I loved the dancing...so graceful!!!
ReplyDeleteIt does break your heart to find they have been hungry and you didn't know it, doesn't it? I hope the formula helps. She sure is a cute little tiny thing.
