Easton had his 2 month check up this morning. He's doing great except for his weight. He's 75% for his height and 10% for his weight. He weighed 9lbs 8oz and was 23.2 inches long. Drs only concern is his weight gain. I have exhausted everything when it comes to breast feeding. I have introduced formula in his daily diet..only.... 2 oz in the afternoon after nursing and 2 oz in the evening before bed so his tummy is fuller. The Dr. wants me to try for a couple of weeks to nurse him and then give him as much formula from a bottle he will take. He wants to see if he'll put on some weight or if he'll stay in the 10 percentile and just be a long and skinny little boy. I'm very disappointed that my body isn't producing enough milk to fulfill his nutritional needs but I can't starve him either. These last 8 weeks have been very trying for me and little Easton but if I have to give him formula for his growth then thats what I"m going to do. At least he's getting half breast milk and half formula and not all formula. Hopefully our little guy starts growing.
Easton loves his formual...when he's super hungry he lets us know it by holding his fists by his ears. Whenever his fists are by his ears and he's screaming like a teridatckle..its time eat. He is definitely a stubborn little guy when it comes to him being hungry.
As for his vaccinnes..Jesse and I have decided to do the alternate route and give him his shots once a month instead of all the shots at the same time. Just not comfortable with all that medicine in his body at one time. The Dr doesn't really agree with me but this is the way Jesse and I are comfortable doing.
