Hunter had his 9 month checkup today and it went well because he didn't have to get any vaccines, but not too great because of his weight. Hunter, who was born at 9 pounds, 5 oz is now not gaining weight. Dr. Pai said since his 4 month appointment he hasn't gained much. At his 6 month he was 17 pounds 2.5 oz and this morning he was 17 pounds 9 ounces. Everything else looks good and he just thinks that it is probably because he is more active and burning more calories. He also said that I'm probably not producing/giving him enough breastmilk. So, we have to try to fatten him up and Dr. Pai wants to see him back in 6 weeks instead of 3 months. If he hasn't gained in 6 weeks, he wants to put him on formula. I haven't taken the news too well. I feel like I have been starving my baby and I didn't even know it. I just feel horrible. Please pray that our little guy is getting the nutrition and calories that he needs to grow strong and healthy. Thank you.
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; my peace I
give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be
troubled and do not be afraid.
