Now on to the growth part!!!
Length
May 18-20 inches
June 19-22 inches
75% percentile meaning she's above average
Weight
May 18-7.15 pounds (7.6 lbs at her 5 day check-up)
June 19-9.7 pounds
50% percentile meaning she's average which is a-okay because we don't want her to be overweight
Question I have for the mommas out there, when did you introduce a bottle when breastfeeding? We haven't yet. Doc said today that we could and should because the later you introduce it, the harder it'll be for her to take it. I don't want to mess up our BFing relationship by introducing the bottle but it's VERY important that she's good with the bottle because that's what she'll primarily be on come August when I go back to work. So any advice here on this topic would be gladly accepted!
Now on to even MORE exciting news!!! My mom FINALLY made me the Moby Wrap I'd been requesting. Not sure I can call it that since it's not officially one but you get the idea. I only tried it out for a second and I definitely need practice wrapping but here's what she looks like in it:
We cannot get this girl's hair under control! I comb it after every bath but it always ends up sticking straight up.
Overall, she got a great report from the doctor which makes me one happy momma and I can't wait to start using my wrap-woohoo!!!

Love the wrap, and her sweet hair! Pretty soon you can put some bows in it!
I wish I'd introduced the bottle sooner, because I waited too long for #2 and #3. They never took it. So I'd start now!
Everything I read said introduce it around 6 weeks but if you are going to be using it more than BF'ing I wouldn't wait too much longer. If she doesn't take to it right away keep at it. If it doesn't seem like she likes it, try a different bottle make. They're not all made alike (I did NOT like the AVENT bottles but that was just me - felt like they leaked too much) & babies take to different ones better.
Look at all that hair!!! I'm loving it! And it's super cute all crazy too, so no worries there. :)
