Pedi Appointments and Rolling Over

Neriah is still gaining really slowly, so we're off to see a pediatrician tomorrow morning. Hopefully there's nothing wrong, and Neriah is just a skinny girl!

And in happier news, Neriah rolled from back to belly today!! She's 14 weeks 2 days old. What a strong girl!

Lactation Consultant

We finally broke down and called Renee, the lactation consultant that has been repeatedly recommended to us. Why oh why did we not do this sooner?? It was awesome. She spent two hours with us getting info and watching me feed Neriah. She gave us lots of tips to get more food into Riah. This was last Wed., and when we weighed Neriah on Monday, she was up to 11lbs 5 1/2 oz! Yay!! Renee said she would like to see Neriah gain even more, so to keep up our new routine, which is fine with me!


I'm feeling really encouraged that things are starting to look up. Neriah seems much happier, and is having super heavy wet diapers. She also has longer naps during the day and more awake time. I'm so glad! Renee is a miracle worker, and I would recommend her to anyone having any breastfeeding issues!!
