Weekly review: Week ending April 8, 2016

Posted: - Modified: | review, weekly

This week was a busy one in terms of talking to medical professionals. Met with genetics to kick off the process of testing, met with cardiology for an update, and went to a Toronto Public Health breastfeeding clinic to pick up some tips. It's so nice to have all these resources.

I'm getting better at getting out of the house for discretionary stuff, too. I made it out to the La Leche League meeting and another session of Baby Time at the library. I even went for a long walk all the way to Dufferin, yay! The ring sling came in handy for that one, since it meant I could keep A- tucked in her snowsuit.

Back to basics this week, I think. I'm going to focus on feeding A-. It looks like A- can take in a little more milk than she gets from nursing, so we're going to try supplementing (eyedropper, cup, and/or bottle), and increasing skin to skin contact. Her weight gain hasn't been flagged as an issue yet, but I want to keep on top of that. Once we've gotten that sorted out, I can go back to working on improving other parts of our routines. =) Kaizen all the everything!
