Baby Zaiden's 1st Dr. Visit!

edited July 2011 in Parenting
Zaiden is 6 days old today and had his first "Well Baby" check-up this afternoon.

Just a recap: He was born Fri., July 22, weighing 7lbs 12oz. We came home on Sunday; he weighed about 7lbs 10oz.

Today, he weighs in at 8lbs 10oz! That's 1 lb in 4 days! Hooray for breastfeeding (exclusively) and a healthy baby! :D

I don't go for my check-up until Sept. 6. So far, I have lost 14 of the 30lbs I gained during the pregnancy. Not too shabby for 6 days postpartum!

I'll try to post pics of him later. I hope you ladies are having a great day! Here's a plethora of whatever kind of dust you're needing today! (*) (*) (*) (*) (*) (*) (*) (*) (*) (*)

  • Isn't breastfeeding amazing? :)
  • @Fate Yes, I make sure to breastfeed all of my children (this is my 3rd). Even if only for a little while, I love offering them what nature intended. :)
  • Me too. I also just had my third baby. The benefits for mom and baby are just so awesome. I also love the looks I get when I breastfeed in public. LOL.
  • Hmm...guess I'm the only one excited about this. LOL! Oh well. Think I'll just stick to reading and not posting... 8->
  • ***gathering up all my unused dust***
  • Aww! I dont know about everyone else but im excited for you!
  • I can't wait to see how breastfeeding turns out for. Me it sounds like you have had smooth sailing post partum
  • @mimibrowneyez36 Thank you! I think I'm just on a typical "Mother's High". I'm in love with my baby, and of course his big brother and sister as well. :)

    @Mybabe I hope it goes well for you! Breastfeeding truly is a wonderful experience overall. Things have been pretty smooth for me, but I think it has a lot to do with this being my 3rd baby. I feel like a pro now! LOL!
  • LOL yea you know what to expect lucky!!! I will be a mess LOL stay on here I may need to ask you questions!!!
  • Ok, I'm definitely sticking around! I like being able to offer advice, congrats, and prayers when I can. :)
  • Btw..u dont look old enough to have 3 kids! Lookin good mama!

  • You're lucky! Im exclusively breastfeeding too and my little girl went from 8lbs 11oz at birth to 7lbs 14oz when we were discharged from the hospital and she finally regained her birth weight at 3 weeks. I almost gave up because I was so discouraged but we seem to be doin ok now. So good for you :D I wish I did that well!
  • @rockinmomma I'm glad you didn't give up! I know it can be tough at times, but you're giving your baby the best milk ever! :D
  • I regret giving up! Bby is 6wks.. only gave her first days she refused!! :-( she was nipple confused!!
