Our babies check up apts

Latina211508

Hey ladies! Just wanted to make a post about how our babies are doing and how their check ups have been since delivery. Have your little ones passed their birth weight? Any concerns? Etc 
Carmine is 2 weeks 2days old and had his second check up today. Healthy little boy and finally passed his birth weight. 
Birth weight was 6lb9oz 
Left hospital with him weighing 6lb1oz
1st apt when he was 4 days old he weighed 6lbs2.8oz 
Today he weighed 6lbs13oz
I will be changing his pediatrician. My husband and I both think she's very unfriendly and we don't want all 4 of our kids having her as a pedi.

Stella is a tank! She was born at 8.10.  
Discharged from hospital at 8.0. 1 week checkup she was 9.9 and then she just had another check at 3 weeks old and is 11lbs! I feel like I never got to have a newborn

Sloane has her two week appointment on Thursday but she's been to the pedi 4 times already   At our first appointment, the Monday after her birth, she was back at her birth weight but she developed jaundice after leaving the hospital so she had to go back almost every day to check her bilirubin level until she finally kicked it!

@Twindling girl I know what you mean. My fourth is my smallest baby and he's so tiny to me. My other 3 kids were over 8lbs and they were so chunky at birth.

Caleb is 2 weeks 4 days today. He had his newborn check up last Wednesday at 1 week 5 days. Caleb weighed 8lbs 13oz at birth, left the hospital at 8lbs 11oz, and at his check up he was 9lbs 11oz. No concerns with him, he is doing great!

Love seeing the babies! We had our 2 week appt today and he has grown from 6lb 1 oz at birth to 7lbs and another inch longer!

I've got a chunky baby growing here Born at 8 lb 8 oz, at 2 weeks he was 10 lb and at his month check today he was 11 lb 7 oz. At this rate I feel like he will be in 6 month clothes! He's in 90th percentile for everything but his head lol. My daughter was the complete opposite in the 10th percentile.

Paige is doing well at 11 days old. She's not quite back to her birth weight of 8lbs 8oz but she's eating great and having lots of wet and dirty diapers. Our pedi says she's doing fantastic! Big brother and sister adore her and of course we do too!

Madison is doing fabulous tomorrow she will be 4 weeks old and it's gone by so fast. Birth weight was 7.13, left the hospital at 7.9 and at her 2 week check up she was 8.8. I tried to move her from NB size diapers to 1 and they were still too big. We are still struggling to not hold her to sleep but it'll get better. She hates the Bassinest, Snuggleme Co Sleeper and crib. The RnP is the only thing she will tolerate.

Madison is 6 days old today and we're still completely obsessed with her she was born 7 lb 2 oz, left the hospital at 6 lb 15 oz and had her first check up the next day at 6 lb 14 oz. she's been a total champ the entire time and her cord fell off on Sunday (happy birthday to me lol). Her bilirubin tests were amazing too: she left the hospital with a 0.5, which the nurse said she'd never seen before. Our little girl is very advanced

So many cute babes! Turner was 7.9 at birth. Left hospital at 7.1. Was 7.3 two days later at his circumcision appointment. At his two week appointment he was 8.3 and 1.25 inches taller! He's officially out of newborn clothes because he's too tall. He's 90th percentile for height and 50th for weight.

Athena is 16 days old and we're just now feeling good about her progress with jaundice. She was 7 lbs 4 oz at birth, dropped to 6 lbs 10 oz, and is now back to 7 lbs 1oz.  We had to stay an extra day at the hospital when delivered for her to be under the bili lights and after at home therapy with a bili blanket her numbers started finally declining into the 'normal range' so now we're just trying to think of it as a fleeting issue and brace ourselves for whatever is next up. Here's baby girl 2 days ago, and yes.. she is my princess

Eleanor is a month tomorrow and out of her newborn clothes and newborn cloth diapers. She passed her birth weight at 6 days old and at her last weigh in was 9lbs 4oz. We had a midwife and was so lucky to have home visits for her first checkups. We didn't have to bring her to them until 3 weeks old. She caught a cold from her brother and is just getting over it now.

Nadine is 13 days and doing great! She nurses like a champ and leaves us many poopy diapers! She had her appointment at 5 days and doctors said she looked great, so we won't need to go back until 1 month. She weight 8#12 at birth, left the hospital at 8#2 (3 days old) and weighed 8#3.5 at appointment (5 days). They said to just monitor her, otherwise weight shouldn't be an issue. However, my breastfeeding support group has a scale so I'm going to check her weight next Monday.  We are changing pediatricians. It's too far, and I nearly had a heart attack when they didn't have a separate well waiting.  Hopefully we will be happy with the change I made! 

Edit: I love the picture of her and I. First, I'm wearing a grey's anatomy sweater and you can see the side of it that says "you are my person". Second, it's the first real picture of us together. We took some in the hospital but I was sick and pale, had a central line in my neck and several lines in my arms. Happy to be recovering.

Tessa will be 4 weeks old Friday. She was born at 6lbs 1oz and we left the hospital at 5lbs 9oz. At her two week appt she was 6lbs 5oz and just had her in today and she was 6lbs 13oz.

Ella Rose is 5 weeks old today. At her appointment last Thursday she was 7lbs15oz. She was 7lbs 5oz at birth and dropped to 6lbs 11oz at her smallest. We had some latching issues at the beginning but are on track now with the help of an awesome lactation consultant and she is averaging about an oz a day now. So many sweet babies.

We have the same giraffe onesie! As I was scrolling through I got confused because I thought it was a picture of my LO but she has a ton of blonde hair lol

Amelia is 2 weeks today and breastfeeding like a champ. Born at 7.4 she is now at 7.13. Dr  she has a bit of colic but that she will grow out of it. In the meantime we get to find ways to soothe her. Yay what fun. Other than that she is a very happy baby.

We went to Eleanor's 2 week appt today. She was born at 7lbs 2oz and 19in. Today she was 8lb 1.5oz and 20in. The doc was way happy with her growth. I saw signs of her getting thrush and had the doctor check her. Sure enough... she's got it! I just thought my nipples were sore because she's been cluster feeding all damn night long. But it's thrush too! So we have a liquid to swish in her mouth (and wipe on my nipples) and a cream for her bottom. I had to call my doc and get a script for diflucan. I'm going to try a nipple shield until she clears up. Hopefully this will help us not pass it to each other and clear it up faster.

Olivia is 3.5 weeks old.  she was 6lbs 6oz at birth at her appointment 3 days after birth she weighed 6lbs 5oz so she never really lost very much.  at her 2 week appointment she was at 7lbs 5oz.  She's been growing really well.  I can't believe she's almost a month old already!  How did that sneak up on me.

Camden finally passed his birthweight at 4 weeks. Was 7lbs3oz, now 7lbs 12oz. He lost almost a pound after birth and had alottle trouble gaining the first two weeks

AJ had a checkup last night at 3w1d and he weighs 10lb 6oz and 22inches. The Dr was quite impressed with his weight gain and said she had absolutely no concerns. He was born at 8lb 14oz and dropped to 8lb 6oz at 4 days old, so he has gained a full 2lbs in a little over 2 weeks. I'm so surprised he weighs that much now, even though newborn clothes don't fit him anymore, because he is such a quick nurser usually only stays latched for 5-10 minutes tops on one side and will not take the other side for anything but still nurses every 2-3 hours. I kept thinking there's no way he is getting enough with that short time nursing but I guess he is  .

@lilqt3929 I was worried about DD because she's a short nurser, too. She was 8lb at birth and dropped to 7lb 6oz at 3 days. They had us come in today at 5 days for a weight recheck and she's 7lb 14oz (so, gained 8oz in 2 days). I guess she's getting plenty! My boobs wish she'd spend more than 10 minutes, though

charliegoldengirl

By his 2 week check up, my lo had surpassed his birth weight by a pound, so everything is going well! He has a blocked tear duct which is gross but the ped said they don't even pay attention to those until 9 months ... 

lilqt3929

@VitaLuna I hear you there, mine have adjusted but its weird having lopsided boobs   ! It's such a difference from my first because she'd nurse both sides so it'd take about 40 minutes to feed her. With this baby its so quick and makes it super easy when we are out and about, he's fed and burped usually within 10 minutes! We'll see if it lasts...
