Hitting the Bottle
We shocked our pediatrician yesterday by telling him that our boy is consuming about 30 ounces of formula per day at this point. The average is 12-15, so the doctor exclaimed, “That’s atypical!” He seems to have no trouble eating — he gets that from daddy — and since it is, in theory, not possible to overfeed an infant, we’re counting ourselves lucky that he has such a healthy appetite and continues to gain weight. That’s 8 lbs, 5 oz on delivery, up four ounces the day after, and up to 8 lbs, 11 oz on the third day of his life. Keep going, little guy!
