Piper Four Weeks Old

Piper is four weeks old today. As I mentioned last week Piper had another weight check-up on Tuesday and we found out that she gained 9 ounces in one week. She is still a bit behind where she should be but overall we are very pleased that she is finally gaining weight. Piper has only gained 10 ounces since she was born. I am still breastfeeding but we are having to supplement around 6 to 10 ounces a day to achieve this weight gain. We are going to have another weight check-up in two weeks to make sure she is still gaining enough weight.

I mentioned a few weeks ago that Piper doesn't like to be left alone. Over the last week we have been able to get her to slept by herself a few times for around 30 minutes to an hour. She is also only waking up twice in the middle of the night to eat and goes back to sleep fairly easily.

Below is a recent photo of Piper. This photo shows what she looks like when she realizes she has been left alone.
