On Monday we went to the 1 week check-up recommended for babies who are exclusively breastfed, to make sure they’re eating enough. Turns out baby Dylan is becoming a great big strapping lad. Not only is he back up to his birth weight of 7 lb, he is all the way to 7 lb 5 oz , with no sign of jaundice anymore. Doctor said he looks like a champ and he was impressed with how happy and sane Alex and I are. We credit our sanity to Dylan’s wonderful trait of eating every 3 hours instead of 2, meaning it’s pretty easy for us to sleep 7 hours in about a 9 hour period. It also really helps that we have not had to cook for the past 5 days. A big thanks to all our friends for the food!
