Pediatrician: Two Weeks

I've been wondering if Karston eats enough. He usually feeds for 5 or 10 minutes, and then he's done for 2 hours. He really goes to town, but he doesn't do it for long.

Today we went in for the second pediatrician visit. His metrics are 7 pounds 15.75 ounces (1.5 pounds more than his birth weight when the goal is to be back up to birth weight at 2 weeks), 20.75 inches long, and 14 inches head circumference. The pediatrician looked at Karston's record, and said, Is this weight right? We said, Yes. I asked if he were eating enough since he rarely goes for more than 10 minutes, and the doctor laughed at me. If he's gaining weight like this, his feeding habits are fine. So once again, a feel-good visit.

The increase in his head size does explain why the hat I made to fit him (since the purchased hats were too big) and then washed a few days later did not fit him. His head grew faster than I did laundry!
