Getting ready to go to the hospital and not liking it one bit!

Rileigh had to go to the hospital two days in a row for her bilirubin levels to be tested. I thought she looked a little yellow and at her first doctor app. the doctor agreed and sent us back to labor and delivery to be tested. Her result was 16.9. Our doctor admits when the level reaches 17. He said we needed to supplement our breastfeeding sessions with 2 ounces of formula. He felt she had breastfeeding jaundice since her level was high five days after birth. So we supplemented and went back to the nursery again on Tuesday. Her levels were 14 this time so the doctor felt much better. She weighed 7 lbs, 10 oz. at birth, Monday she was 7 lbs. even and yesterday she was 7 lb, .5 oz. Today at her weight check she was 7 lbs, 3.5 oz. The doctor told us we could start to cut back the formula and get her totally on breast milk. I'm really happy about this. I wanted to breastfeed Landon but had latch and supply problems so it didn't work out. Rileigh is a great latcher and while I can't pump worth a hoot, I can feed her all that she needs. She's much more effective at getting that milk than the pump is. We had a great lactation consultant at the hospital who really helped us! I'm also very happy that I have a pro-breastfeeding doctor.
