Public Health

We had a visit from the Ottawa Public Health nurse today. Mommy's incision is looking good, the redness that she had is going away and she's up and about and full of vigor after a really good night's sleep. Kevin is sleeping very well, and feeding well. He's so easily contented thus far.

Kevin has gained more weight, and is now up in weight to 9 lbs 7 ounces, giving him only 5 ounces to go before he's back to his birthweight. The public health nurse was pleased with him, and said his jaundice is looking quite good. He's at the peak of bilirubin production today, so it should only improve from this point forward.

It seems that mom's milk is coming in, because he's getting even more contented with the breast, and seems satisfied with less formula.
