Hello everyone,

I wanted to post an update on the mom I have been helping.   The baby gained 
9 ounces in 7 days--so baby has gone from lowest weight of 4.17 pounds to 6.5 
pounds overall.   The doctor is still not content with this.   Baby is now 2 
months and will have another weight check today.   I told mom that this is a 
good weight gain overall, but the doctor's concerns of course are the age of the 
baby and where baby should be at right now, especially if you look at the 
birth weight of 5.3 pounds.   

Mom also mentioned a drop in her supply.   The one question I forgot to ask 
initially, which is a standard one for me for an overall picture, especially 
with weight gain, birth control.   Mom started on the minipill at 4 weeks 
postpartum--and I am sure she did not have a well established milk supply at this 
time.   We discussed how to work on her supply, and I suggested she use another 
form of nonhormonal birth control.

Again, I want to thank everyone for their help.   I will keep you all posted 
on the progress of this dyad.

Regards,
Gloria Thai
