ONE Week Old

Name: Aubrey Rose
Age: One Week old
Weight: 7 pounds 4 ounces
Clothing: Newborn for sure. We had to buy a few more newborn onesies as 0-3 months is just a little too big for our petite lady. Since the weather has been cooler, we have put her in newborn gowns.
Sleep: Aubrey does a fantastic job of sleeping during the day. There are times that she over sleeps at night but typically she's our night owl. If she wakes up,  you can almost guarantee that it'll take an hour to put her back to sleep. While she's adorable, she's definitely got a set of lungs on her and it makes for some really late nights/early mornings.
Feeding: Sadly little Miss has had latch issues from birth. We've tried the shield and that gave limited feeding. We've talked to several consultants, but am not having too much luck. At our first pediatrician appointment, she was under weight and had lost more than 10% of her body weight. I hated that she always acted like she was starving. So until my milk came in, I had to supplement. Now I am giving breast milk but am having to pump and bottle feed at this point. I do supplement a feeding or two based on need but she is doing fantastic. She's surely a champ eater but it is a bit more difficult. I'm hoping this will be easier and not as challenging once we find out a better schedule.
What She's Doing: She has great head control and neck muscles for a one week old. She seems like she can army crawl up our chest when she's hungry and determined:) While she has no control of this, gives sweet smiles to mom and dad. Talk about melt your heart.
