When we left the hospital, Liam weighed 6 lbs 13 oz. Five days later, when he was a week old, we went to see Dr. Bailey and he weighed in at 7 lbs 11 oz. I almost fell off my chair. Dr. Bailey did not believe me at first when I said I haven't been supplementing with formula. Two days later, the public health nurse did her in-home visit with us, and he clocked in at 7 lbs 15.5 oz. "Typically", they want your baby to gain a minimum of 4 oz per week. This week we logged 18.5 oz. Needless to say, I don't worry about the little pork chop getting enough to eat anymore. Chad is already worried about him having a weight problem later in life...
