Can babies be too chunky at this point? DS is well over 12lbs at 5 weeks and I swear his cheeks are 90% of his face. He's gained about a pound every week.
Cue minor freak out... Poop has army green chunks mixed in with the mustard yellow. What the hell?!
Green poop is an indicator of too much foremilk at a feeding. Nothing to be too concerned about - just feed longer on one side before offering the second

I don't know an official weight because we haven't been to the pedi since his 2 week check up, but I'm pretty sure we're over 12 pounds at 5 weeks as well. Crazy because my girls were little peanuts.

We are EBF so when I give her a bottle of pumped milk I use the Preemie Flow nipples to make sure she doesn't develop a preference for bottles over breast. At what point do I switch nipple flow? She doesn't get frustrated/cry at the bottle or collapse the nipple so I think I'm ok? She was 4 weeks yesterday.
I have one...am I the only one with NO appetite at all? I absolutely have to force myself to eat and nothing tastes good. I'm having major supply issues so am taking blessed thistle and fenugreek. Could those be causing it?
I've struggled with this since v was born. I have to literally make myself eat or so has to remind me. Definitely doesn't help my supply issue either. I have no advice other than drink a lot of water and snack lil snacks to help. :/

I'm of the "if it ain't broke..." mentality. You may never need to switch. Or you may need to move to "newborn" in the next few weeks. We used size 0 last time for a full year, until we switched to straw cups.

Woke up with a cold sore. And of course google talks about how infants have died from contracting it. I obviously haven't kissed him since I noticed it this morning- but last night there were definitely kisses. Shit - I have valtrex and waiting on call back from ped.

My pedi said they will get hiccups after feeding a lot since everything isn't quite matured in there. LO has hiccups all the time (& had them in utero) and pedi isn't crazy about gripe water so we ride them out.
