Progress!

Finn gained a half ounce between yesterday morning and this morning - with no supplementing!! Woo hoo!! I haven't used the SNS for a couple of days just because he constantly pulls it out, and day before yesterday he started spitting up quite a bit after supplemental bottles, so I started wondering if he was being overfed. I think I've managed to get my milk production back up, and his latch has been much better lately, so I took a leap of faith yesterday and just strictly nursed him all day with no SNS and no supplemental bottles, and he gained a half ounce!! I don't want to think we have all the kinks worked out, and I am going to see the LC again tomorrow, but I feel very optimistic and as if we're on the right track here.

Also, he's out of preemie diapers and clothes, and now fitting into newborn stuff!!
