The hospital sends a nurse to check in with families after a couple days of being home. Both Larkyn and I checked out very well, with the exception of Larkyn's weight. According to the nurse's scale, Larkyn had dropped down to 7 lbs. 2 oz. which meant she had lost 10% of her body weight from birth. This was obviously a concern, but the nurse said now that my milk has come in her eating would be more consistent and she should not have a problem putting the weight back on. We have an appointment with her pediatrician tomorrow where she will be weighed again.
