9 lbs 14 oz

That's how much Andrew weighs as of yesterday. That means he gained 1 lb, 8 oz in the 12 days between visits to the breastfeeding clinic — solid evidence that I'm not starving my baby. What a relief! And I haven't been supplementing very much, probably an average of only 150 mL (5 oz) per day, so he's getting plenty from breastfeeding.

I've decided to take the clinic's advice as a guideline and do my own thing from there. Specifically, I am going to pump when I can, and I am not going to hesitate to give Andrew a bottle when he is frantic and screaming and refusing both breasts. I'll keep the bottle as a last resort, but I will use it if I feel it is necessary for baby's health and my sanity.
