Michelin Man Arms and A Double Chin

At our 1 month check up, Ryder hadn't gained any weight:(  Apparently, mom and baby's efforts at nursing around the clock weren't providing enough milk for the little one.  Our pediatrician put us on a new feeding plan: nursing for 30 minutes, 2-3 ounces of breastmilk from a bottle, and then an unlimited amount of formula.  This plan (though a bit time consuming and a 2-person job) worked immediately! We returned to the dr 3 days later and Ryder had gained 9 ounces!

We can't wait to see what he weighs at his 2 month check up! If his chubby little cheeks are any indication it is a lot!
