she just had a weight check because i am breastfeeding and i guess they want to see how its going since some find it stressful....well she is now 8 lbs 8 oz last week she was 7 lbs 12 oz. I asked about her eye and the doc said its not infected its only a clogged tear duct. i weighed myself in the room when the doc wasnt there and i now weigh 149 and i was 176 right before gabby was born so thats 27 lbs i have lost in 2 weeks....(is that healthy???) and......yeah thats it..i have another appointment next friday to check her weight again so yeah.......WEE...gabby is already starting to lift her head up too and she will be 2 weeks on sunday!!!!!!!!!! ↓

That's awesome Danese! It's ok to drop the weight quickly as long as you are still eating healthy... not becuase you have stopped to try and lose it.
I'm glad that nursing her is going well and she is gaining quickly. Yay for you and Gabbers. ↑ |

That's great that Gabby is doing so good. Like the other girls said, it is okay to lose baby weight quickly after giving birth as long as you eat healthy and don't starve yourself. It also helps that you are breastfeeding, you burn a lot of calories that way.
Is the tri-vi-sol vitamin you have to give her by enfamil? I had my son on the enfamil poly-visol and if you ever express milk into a bottle, try mixing the vitamin in with that. My son was a little older when I had to start giving it to him and he would throw up everytime he had to take it unless I mixed it in a bottle with formula or a bowl of cereal (which I know she won't have for awhile). Good luck! :-) ↑ |

| yeah it is by enfamil...i will try to mix it with milk as soon as i get a pump......my mom suggested trying to give her half the dose and just give it to her twice a day ↑ |

I hope it is normal too.. I am on week three and have lost almost 40lbs.
Macie went from 7lbs12oz to 9lbs8oz so I am glad to see some of you had a big weight gain too. ↑ |

| Those vitamins have the worst smell and I can't imagine they taste any good. If she still won't take it in two doses then once you get a pump you could always mix it in two bottles too so the taste isn't as strong. Hopefully once she gets use to it she will have no trouble taking it. ↑ |

Yay for Gabby. Zoe got weighed yesterday and she was 6 lbs. 14 oz. I think she's going to be small! She's a month old today! I put a picture of her up on our family blog

Oh - and I have only lost 25 lbs so far, but I only gained 20. Now I'm working on the weight I had gained when pregnant with Sophie! ↑ |

yeah for the weight gain and the weight loss. you burn 500 calories a day by brestfeeding, so that is probably why you have lost so much.
i've lost 23 pounds now, my weight loss is going slow :(
mara, brooke and zoe weigh exactly the same now! seems like they are both going to be small ↑ |

| Glad to heat that you both are doing great! The 27 lbs is fine since most of it is due to the birth, but you should loose it more slowly now that it is jsut extra pounds that are left over. Gabby is going to change sooo much over the next two weeks. she will be like a different baby. They learn so much in those first couple of months. They go from sleepy bloops to chatter boxes :) ↑ |
