Neil Moses First Check Up

Wondering about his weight :)

Last Saturday, 24th of November, was baby Moses very first check up. Before I go on, let me share this conversation during our interview with the hospital staff. It just put a smile on my face every time I remember  and somewhat serves as an inspiration to me being a Mom. :)

Nurse: Do you have a helper with you?
Me: No, just me.
Nurse: Wow, superwoman! That's good! (Giving me a thumbs up...)

Nurse: Are you feeding him some formula?
Me: No, just breastfeeding.
Nurse: Good that your exclusively breastfeeding, keep going! (smiling) He now weighs 4.12 kgs compared to 3.807 when he was discharged from the hospital. That means he is getting enough milk from you.
Me: Thank you. (I feel so very happy)

Nurse: How long will you be breastfeeding your baby?
Me: As long as I have milk!
Nurse: Good, you can breastfeed him until 2 years.

These were just some of the conversations my husband and I had during our interview at the hospital. We were given a lot of pointers about breastfeeding.

So glad baby Moses gained weight. I was so eager to attend this check up 2 weeks after he was discharged from the hospital as I was really curious if he gained weight. With breastfeeding, somewhat you have worries if your baby is really getting enough milk from there. But from what I've read from the internet, checking how many dirty diapers he had will give you assurances.

Now, I am more confident that my baby is getting enough milk from me. I feel fulfilled being a Mom and also happy knowing my baby is getting the best feeding.

Thanks be to God!
