breastfed baby thriving

My daughter was born on Feb 26th and weighed 7 pounds 12oz at birth.. she
dropped to 7 pounds 2 ounces before she regained her birth weight at two
weeks
she weighed 8 pounds 9oz and now today just at 4 weeks old she weights 10
pounds
13oz!

She has had nothing but breast milk. My nipples are a bit sore but I
guess it's
working!

She seems to be on a new growth spurt now and has been nursing hourly all
day
long.

Congratulations and what a great start - it's a good feeling isn't it :-)
My maxim is "not always easy but always worthwhile".

Keep an eye on those 'bit sore' nipples though. Might be an early warning
sign of not-quite-right attachment or thrush.
