Izaak is 1 month old!
Time is flying by! My baby boy now weighs 7 whole pounds LOL 1 lb and 1 oz gained from birth weight. Nursing is going well, though we are supplementing because he was slow to start regaining his weight. Hopefully we'll eventually be able to get off of the formula.
Here are some recent pics of my baby boy :)

My handsome little man
omg he's sooooo precious. my benji looks alot like him bc he's low weight as well. he was born 7lbs 3oz and he's 6lbs 12 oz at 2 1/2 weeks. i feel so inadequate. i feel like i have enough milk...i mean...the milk just comes right out sometimes it even squirts him in the face. but he hasnt gained! :( my left nipple has a blister from feeding so i've been pumping with that one and feeding with the right but now the right is getting so raw. he doesnt like the bottle, which is great bc i don't want him to get used to the bottle and refuse the boob. but honestly my boobs need a serious break! i don't pump much. .5oz-1.5 oz. i just wanna fatten him up. so at this point i'm willing to just give him the formula for a little bit till he gains weight and my nipples heal. i want nothing more than to be able to feed on both breasts again. i hope giving them a few days off will do the trick and i just pray he doesn't reject them for the bottle.
any advice?
ps. i havent had a second to get on my computer (let alone post anything) bc the baby has colic, and jaundice and i've been struggling just to get by without going nuts.
