Pediatrician

We finally had an appointment with Dr. Hanson yesterday.  Wee girl is up to 9lbs 12oz and the doctor said basically the same thing as our family doc. She's meeting milestones, looks completely healthy, is happy etc., and therefore she's not really concerned about the lack of weight gain.  She ordered no further tests at this point and only instructed us to continue seeing our family doc for as long as they think it's necessary and also to follow-up with her in a month, just in case we have concerns.

So, I think we can relax a little. Our family doc, the lactation consultant and the pediatrician all agree that there's likely nothing wrong with our girl besides just being little. We've basically been told that as long as she continues to gain and doesn't start losing, we don't have anything to worry about.

We're off supplemented EBM since she was starting to spit them up, and starting to stretch feedings back out to a more "on demand" schedule again. My supply seems to be up (we'll see if that continues) but I'm staying on the medication and herbs for now.

Fingers crossed that this little issue is finally behind us.
