Today was Liam's two month check up with Dr. Bell. Everything is right on track except for his weight gain. He has been slow at gaining weight. For whatever reason, I do not know. He seems to eat and be satisfied. So, maybe my milk supply is insufficient or maybe he is just a skinny little baby. Whatever the reason, our Dr. would like to supplement breast milk with formula. So, when I return to work, Liam will have formula during the day, and when I get home, he can breast feed all night.
I really was wanting to exclusively breast feed. However, I am going with the flow. I am trying to not let this disappoint me. Liam needs some more nutrition, and formula is how he will get that right now.
John gave him his first bottle tonight and Liam sucked it right down. Liam was a bit confused with the bottle, but learned real quick. I am proud of him, but feel a bit empty without him attached to my breast all the time.
Can't believe he is 2 months! Time flies.
