Ewan’s tongue tie healed the way it was supposed to. He is definitely a much more efficient feeder (at the last lactation doctor appointment he took in 110mls in 15 minutes!).
He has a paediatrician for his hemangioma (red mark on his face). He started a beta blocker to stop the growth. Hemangiomas near the lips and eyes are taken seriously. 80% of the growth occurs by 6 months of age. He will be on the beta blocker until around 9 months of age.
He is growing at a rate of 33 grams a day:
3375 grams June 14
3685 grams June 23
3860 grams June 27
3940 grams June 29
4000 grams July 4
4147 grams July 7
4275 grams July 11
*These measurements were taken from 4 different scales*
I asked the lactation doctor to print a copy of Ewan and Eileen’s growth chart (see pictures below). The data on these graphs use their actual age instead of their adjusted age. The lactation doctor is very happy with their rate of growth (Eileen is gaining as a rate of 24.5 grams a day).
Today during tummy time Ewan lifted his whole front body into cobra pose
Great news!
Wow, cool to see the growth charts! They are both doing so well. Ewan sure is strong!
