Alice got a big thumbs up at her (almost) 2-week checkup today. She has regained all of her birthweight plus an ounce. A "very nice weight gain" according to the doc. She has excellent muscle tone, too. (Why, of course! ;) )
Our biggest concern (and only concern, really) was her frequent voluminous vomiting (uber spit-ups really -- full stomach contents projected with gusto after particularly large feeds). The doc said it's just excess milk she's taking on baord, but that she's clearly getting enough down to stay healthy; the barfs are just a nuisance (you can say that again). Most likely, little Alice likes the comfort of feeding, and just wants to extend the experience. Only trouble is, my milk supply is a bit more than is called for at present, so she overindulges. The result: mega-barfs at least once a day. (Good thing I have two bathrobes.) In any event, I'm just relieved that she's healthy. We'll work on the overeaters annonymous bit next.
More anon, but in the meantime my services are needed by the little sticker.
