Well, I guess the breastfeeding is going ok afterall

DD gained more than a pound in the past week!!!

She's been feeding like a maniac. I've been paranoid about her being
dehydrated, or maybe not getting enough because she's basically on the
breast the better part of 6-8 hrs in the afternoon/evenings. But doc
says she looks healthy as can be, and we're treating her now like any
other healthy 4 week old and can forget about her NICU stint!

You are doing a GREAT job feeding your daughter, and she is growing
like a weed. You can stop beign paranoid now!

[laughter] About the breastfeeding, anyway! [smile]

I tried to hold it in, but I just couldn't.

Congrats, cjra! Glad she's well!
