We had our appointment at the pediatrician today. It was our first time to take Elle out after bringing her home so we were a bit nervous how our first outing will go. As Daddy Jarbs was waiting for me to finish getting ready to leave for the doctor, he took Elle to a quick trip to our neighborhood coffee shop. Daddy Jarbs walked to Big Bear Cafe with Elle in the Ergo baby carrier! Daddy Jarbs has long been waiting to try out this carrier with a baby in it. Elle loved being in it and did not fuss one bit!
At the doctor's office, they checked Elle's weight. She weighed 6 lbs 2 ozs. She lost ~11% of her original weight :-(. The doctor was concerned she was not eating well. We were advised to supplement breastfeeding by giving her pumped milk or formula. Since my milk already came, we planned on giving her my expressed breast milk and forego the formula.
Eleiana also had her Hepatitis B shot today. I had to have Daddy Jarbs hold her as I couldn't stand looking at the nurse poking my little girl. As expected, she let out a bloody cry. I immediately had her breastfeed and it helped calm her down.
