Today, we had a follow-up appointment with Dr. Shah so that Nathan could get re-weighed. He weighed in at 10 lb 8 oz today, so back up to his birth weight! I was quite pleased with this as it means he gained 14 ounces in 4 days. Dr. Shah was pleased with his weight gain as well, but still wants to see him in one week for a final weigh-in, before leaving us alone :).
I've been tracking exactly how much Nathan has been eating every day and how much I've been pumping, so I should be able to see if the domperidone works at all by increasing my supply. I'm hoping it will! If I can consistently pump as much in a sitting as Nathan typically eats in one sitting then hopefully I can transition to only breastfeeding. *Fingers crossed*. As much as I love bottle feeding, it's definitely more restricting/annoying to always have to consider my pumping schedule. It's even more annoying when I realize as we're driving home from my parents that I left my pump at their house. It's not quite as easy to pump and visit them when I don't live next door! I used to just run home to pump...now I have to pack the entire pump up and bring it along, and then remember to bring it home again!
