Baby's First Doctor's Appointment

8/24/09

Because we had such an aweful first night at home and I was so worried, I decided to call Jocelyn's pediatrician bright and early this morning to make an appointment. Unfortunately there were no openings to see the doctor, however we were able to see the nurse practicioner. She was very nice and very helpful! Although Baby did look jaundicey and she los a little more weight, the nurse seemed very pleased overall with how Jocelyn looked. This was very comforting after our long night! She did say to keep up with the formula, especially until my milk comes in. In her words, we would rather have a healthy formua baby than a dehydrated breastfed baby! Overall it was a great appointment in my mind! Like I said, it was very comforting and made me feel alot better about feeding Jocelyn formula rather than just breastmilk!
