Joslyn at 25 weeks.... gaining weight.

Hi everyone... We have been busy and I have not updated my blog in about 2 weeks. Sorry!
But I have some good news. Last week Joslyn went to her Pediatrician for her weight check and half of her shots. She weighed in at 12 lbs 15.4 ounces! Which means in one week she gained 10 ounces. So it seems the new feeding plan is working! We are so excited about it! She seems to be getting bigger and bigger each day now. You should see her thighs! WOWZERS!!!! They are looking sooooooo great! We are very stubborn about breast milk. I have been in communication with a La Letche League consultant and it seems that I may have a foremilk/hindmilk imbalance. Simply meaning that I have a lot of front milk (the sugary, thin milk) and not as much hindmilk (the fatty thick milk.)
That could be why Joslyn is having poor weight gain, she is not getting the high fat (calorie) milk. We are working on correcting that, as it can be fixed!!! I have battled sooooo much in breastfeeding Joslyn, that I am not willing to give up just because of another issue! It is clear that she can gain a great amount of weight as long as we continue the feeding plan that we have. Her GI Doc was very excited about the 10 ounce weight gain! He was not expecting that much. HURRAY FOR MOMMY'S MILK!!

Joslyn has tried home made apple sauce...... sadly she was not too big on it. So she is still getting cereal with breastmilk (that seems the be her fav!)
We will be introducing another form of solid food this coming week. We can only add one new food each week. Just in case she has a problem. We are looking for a baby food mill so we can make our own food for her.

She has been saying "EEEEE MA" (her word for mama) it is sooo funny. She will only say it when she is crying though. She will look at me and say "EEEEE MA!" or "EEEEE MAM" how great is that?!
