Logan's 1st Doc Visit

Today Logan had his first doctor visit; it is a standard well baby visit between 3-5 days old. He is doing well! He is back up to his birth weight of 9 pounds. He was down to 8 lbs 10 ounces Thursday morning, and I'm guessing he lost a few more ounces before starting to gain again. He is nursing from me! Shaun never was able to get a good latch, so I am very excited. I am pumping occasionally to make sure enough milk gets produced because Logan hasn't totally mastered the whole thing. Birth stats: Height: 20 inches, Weight: 9 pounds, Head: 13.75 inches.

Here are his stats at 5 days old:

Height: 21.5 inches (nurse said that they tend to stretch out more after birth, but one of the measurements could be sligthly off). This is the 96th percentile.

Weight: 9 pounds; 86th percentile.

Head: 14.57 inches; 75th percentile.

We were wondering how this compared to Shaun, so if you are too, here are his stats at his first appointment:

Height: 21 inches, 86th percentile
Weight: 6 pounds 15 ounces, 21st percentile
Head: 14.06 inches, 42nd percentile

Logan's next well baby visit is in about a week on Tuesday, for the standard 7-14 day visit.
