Busy day!

This morning we had a follow-up visit with a Providence lactation consultant to make sure breastfeeding was going well. I'm still using a nipple shield (a fake plastic nipple that fits over my real one) since Oliver wouldn't take the real deal at the hospital, and I'm hoping to get rid of that. Suzanne the LC said to use it for awhile longer as long as things were going well, and after a few weeks we can wean him off of it. But the kid is getting plenty of nutrition and my supply is definitely there, so we are doing well! We also saw Dr. Bengston for the first time in his office to check up on little Oliver. It was a quick visit just to check him out and make sure things were going well. We weighed him and he's already back to 8 lbs., 11 oz! We left the hospital with him at 8 lbs. 3 oz. Dr. B said he checked out great and we'll see him on the 21st for his 2-week check up.
