Gooey and Mommy had to go to the doctors, it seems the constant strain and excessive pulling on my shoulder has once again damaged my rotator cuff and we will need surgery.
So this lead us to wonder just how big is gooey... and are we over feeding him, is this really ok?
The answer is Gooey is absolutely perfect in every way.! He has had a tendency to eat shorter more frequent feedings.
The doctor was able to explain to us that there is 2 parts to breast milk and the 1st part is more of the carbohydrates and the 2nd part is the fattier half.
That meaning a baby that feeds longer will get the fatty parts as well as the carbohydrates and be full and content for a longer stretch of time. Henry was not getting as much of the hind milk and there was the problem...sorta like if you eat a high carb meal like rice and Chinese food....you are starving but a short time latter.
So with a few good tips and tricks we were satisfied to know that this is normal, he is just fine and no he was not over eating.
But here is how he is growing:
(he is off the charts percentage wise for his age)
His head measured at 17 1/4
His Height was 26"
and weight......20.5 lbs.
