Today we went to Dr. McCormick... again!
We once again kept our fingers crossed for more weight gain as we set her on the scale.
And we got it, 2.5 ounces this time. Some improvement but still not the 5 - 7 ounces that they would have liked.
Apparently our little Emma just has a super fast metabolism and needs extra calories. We now are going to feed her 3 ounces of straight breast milk and then add in formula, just the powder and not mix it with water. This will give her a super concentrated and calorie packed feeding.
And guess what... we go back again next week to see how it goes.
Here are her stats:
9lbs 5 1/2 ounces - 50th Percentile
22 3/4 inches - 90th Percentile
Their concern for her weight is because she started out at 8 lbs 12 ounces and she should have gained more by this point.
Nothing cuter than a kiddo in their jammies! Thank you Tia Ebit for these adorable ones.

We would all be so lucky if we had Emma's metabolism.
