Thaddeus Update

Well he is doing really well. He weighed in at 8lbs 14oz today. His pediatrician was extactic about that. He is still having trouble latching on. Dr. Pivor isn't to concerned, because he is still getting my milk. I am pumping and putting in a bottle, as always trying to get him to latch on has become so stressful, that it is easier to pump. The nurse at the pediatrician's office is also a lactation consultant, and encouraged me as to the fact that he is at least getting the breast milk. She did notice that the breast shield that I have is to large, so I need to go back to the VNA office and get a smaller shield, to see if that will help. All in all I think I have a lazy and very stubborn kid, and he is only 2.5 weeks old! He is doing well enough though that he doesn't have to go back until his 2 month appointment.
