Post Partum Weight at 5 Weeks

Just checked my weight this morning. After 5 weeks of giving birth, my weight went from 148 to 128. Still got that flabby stomach though.

The first 4 weeks, I was wearing the post partum support band. Apparently, it’s supposed to help you lose water weight and help you get back to your pre pregnancy weight quicker.

Did it help? I honestly don’t know. I think most of the weight loss is from the baby. Did anyone else out there use a band to help them lose weight? My primary purpose of using the band was for support. But when I heard that it may help you lose weight, I started to wear it more often. Should I continue to wear it? Has anyone else used it?

How Much Tylenol To Give Two Month Old Newborn?

We took Little Pea in for her two month immunization shots (one shot for the second dose of Hep B) this past Monday. She has been quite fussy the past few days. She was running a slight fever as well. So we gave her a little bit of Tylenol.

At the visit on Monday, she was 21 inches and weighed 8 pounds 10 ounces. That was just about the size of Little Mochi when he was first born! It took Little Pea nearly two months to get to Little Mochi’s birth weight and height!

Anyways, at 8 pounds 10 ounces, we weren’t sure of how much Tylenol to give Little Pea. After Googling it, we gave her 0.4 ml. I hope it’s enough (or not too much). Her fever is gone, but she’s still a little fussy. Don’t know if it’s because of the shot, or if she’s just gassy.
