Weight Check

I took Avery in yesterday for a quick weight check.  She is now 6 weeks old and just for my peace of mind I wanted to make sure she is gaining weight.  The hardest part about breastfeeding for me is not knowing how much they are taking in.  Lily used to nurse for 45 minutes at a time and Avery is done and content after 10 minutes.  Lily would nurse on both sides and Avery only nurses on one side at a time.  It is hard to think that she gets enough milk, but she is content, sleeps well, and poops and pees adequately.  She seems so much smaller to me than Lily was.  Anyways, she is gaining weight and doing well.  She has her 2 month well baby check on December 16th.  I am hoping she is around 11 1/2 pounds by then.  Her chunker cousin was 12 1/2 pounds at 2 months and Lily was exactly 13 pounds at 2 months.
