One Week Check-up

Carter went to the see Dr. Asdell today for his one-week check-up. My milk still has not come in so Carter is not too happy at the time being... poor thing is so tired of crying. According to the scales, Carter has lost over a pound since birth (birth weight was 7 lbs 8 ounces, today he weighs 6lbs 6ozs). Dr. Asdell is concerned because this is more than average so he had advised us to supplement Carter with formula until my milk comes in. Dr. Asdell gave us a 2oz bottle of formula to try-out - Carter drank the whole thing in 3 minutes and then dozzed right off. Other than weight, Carter is doing awesome! Dr. Asdell has asked Brad and I to bring Carter back on Monday (August 4th) to weigh him again to see if he is gaining weight back.
