I love it when my TSH is like .5. I feel good. I know that the range for my lab for T4 is .8 to 1.8 and I feel better when mine are at the top of the range.Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09136169986057927090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8306817272381032556.post-84819890466231520222011-06-17T13:43:04.272-05:002011-06-17T13:43:04.272-05:00H didn't gain 5oz a week.....not even close.H didn't gain 5oz a week.....not even close.Sewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09963399196987365207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8306817272381032556.post-89433346834373466432011-06-17T13:39:53.536-05:002011-06-17T13:39:53.536-05:00Are u on medication?

He's always leaned his head to the left but our ped never thought anything of it. We just switched peds and voila! A diagnosis. Finally. So on to p.t. we go. I hope your little girl starts gaining better soon. Try not to stress too much. At least she's gaining. That's important. :)Second Chanceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01995486505355339008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8306817272381032556.post-10515871860497924722011-06-16T20:31:38.519-05:002011-06-16T20:31:38.519-05:00K has only gained just over 3 oz a week, so she de...K has only gained just over 3 oz a week, so she definitely below the recommended. 5-7 oz a week is what's recommended for babies under 4 months.mrsblondieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04624922903281385565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8306817272381032556.post-42220858686150694082011-06-16T20:13:58.418-05:002011-06-16T20:13:58.418-05:00Oh, no!

But, it seems like your baby is on track, I know that it is recommended that babies gain at least 4 oz per week, and you seem on track. Have you checked out the website, kellymom.com? Also, the booking titled, Making More Milk, was extremely helpful to me as was a new mom/lactation group. Hang in there, you are totally doing the right thing! BF is a dance and sometimes it takes months to figure it out. I found that giving my daughter some extra milk (from what I pumped after my morning sessions) in the evening really curbed the fussiness. The best way for me to increase my supply was pumping for 15 minutes (with a double electric pump) after each feeding. It really helped! Email me if you have any other questions or just need to vent. You are doing great, mama!!!Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09136169986057927090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8306817272381032556.post-14343478033084929512011-06-16T19:12:58.317-05:002011-06-16T19:12:58.317-05:00It sounds like you're getting good help!
