Our first visit to the pediatrician was after being home less than 2 days! We went in on a Sunday, which was nice because it was a quick smooth trip and avoided a crowded waiting room.
Mitch and I asked tons of questions, we didn't get a lot of advice before we left the hospital. The PA that we saw was very patient and answered everything. She also offered suggestions and handled them so wonderfully!
Cooper and Mackenzie were both down in weight, which can happen, but she gave us some feeding suggestions and asked to see Mackenzie back the following day and then both back a few days later.
Mitch and I felt terrible! Even though we know most babies loose weight the first few days after birth, we still felt like horrible parents. We worked really hard to make sure they both stayed awake to take enough formula. Mackenzie gained weight and they were both back to their birth weights by the follow up!
