Eliza has been feeding like the clappers. We've recently started giving her a bottle about once a day, to give mum a break (still with mum's milk, though - Dzung's really been expressing herself). There's some equation that the midwives use to figure out how much milk to put in the bottle, and, in Eliza's case, it came out to a meagre 40ml or so. Last night I gave her 90ml, and she still wasn't sated after draining it all. So no need to worry that she's not getting enough to eat.
This point was proven doubly today when Dzung took Eli-Anh for a weigh-in at the Clinic. Expectations were that she'd bulk up by around 100gm a week, which means that after losing 200gm the week after birth, we'd expect her to be up at the 2.8kg mark. Well, young Eli-Anh tipped the scales at over 3.2kg! Our little monkey has really been putting on a growth spurt, which hopefully explains the constant crying and feeding, and which is hopefully just a (short) phase she's going through. Yes, fellow parents, I can hear your laughter from here.
