Transitioning Back to Boob
LO wasn't nursing well (lost 11% of birth weight, dropped to 5lbs 8oz and took 3 weeks to regain) so we had to pump and bottle feed for a few weeks, then nurse and supplement. We are about to try a couple days of boob only to see if she can nurse well enough to keep gaining weight. We have been renting a BabyWeigh scale so I know some feeds she has taken as much as two ounces, sometimes more. But often she takes an ounce or less. I've worked hard to keep my milk supply up. I guess I'm just nervous and really want this to work. Please wish me luck. We start first thing Friday morning.
