6 weeks old OMG

3-18-01: Jessica saw the doctor for her 6 week check up and weighed in at 10 pounds, 1 ounce. She was in the 50% for both height and weight and 49% for head circumference. The doctor used silver nitrate on her belly button because there was still a little suspicious bump and it turned the belly button all black. He also confirmed that the baby had no more visible signs of thrush and said that a simple vinegar rinse in her mouth or on the nipple before breastfeeding for the remainder of the week would be sufficient maintenance. Mommy was not pumping at all this week and Jessica was breastfeeding comfortably on demand (and she demanded a great deal!) Mommy and Daddy took walks in Noe Valley with Jessica during the week and on the weekend.
