Regained birth weight - woohoo!!!
My little man has finally regained his birthweight as of yesterday! He is now 9lb 13oz so 1oz more than when he came out. He had dropped to 9lb 7oz after the first week and wasn't putting any back on when he should have been. He also had poo issues and because we were in scbu in hosp they were keeping an extra eye on him as an outpatient.
So he's had tests and they found what they suspected which is that he has a cow's milk protein intolerance. I gave up dairy a week ago as i'm breastfeeding him and since then he's put on that 6oz, so must be working! Giving up the dairy's not easy as it's in so much stuff in many forms that you just wouldn't suspect so having to check all the packaging, but it was such a struggle getting breastfeeding established that i don't want to give it up now we've mastered it!
Really happy he's getting there!!
