October 31, 2005 (2 weeks old)
Weight 6lbs 3.5oz
Wyatt lost 8oz rather than gaining back his birth weight. Dr. Germanson suggested adding Human Milk Fortefier to my milk. I couldn't find the HMF anywhere and eventually found out it was something a pharmacy would have to order at $150 per box. Insurance denied my claim sighting that his condition did not warrant the use of the HMF. We also increased Wyatt's intake to 45-60cc/ml every 2.5 - 3 hrs.
If Wyatt doesn't gain 1oz per day by his next appointment we would have to consider inserting a feeding tube.
Wyatt was still jaundiced so more blood had to be taken to test his BiliRubin levels. He may need to be admitted to hospital for photo therapy.
