Gabriel's 1st visits to the pediatrician

It is normal for the baby to lose weight at his first few days of life. When we went to Gabriel's 1st visit to the pediatrician she told us though that he had lost more than expected. Therefore, we should wake him up to eat every 2 hours (including at night!!!) so he would then gain weight. When we came back for the next visit we were extremely happy to know that Gabriel had gained way more than the minimum weight gain the doctor had established!!

É normal o bebe perder peso nos seus primeiros dias de vida. Quando levamos o Gabriel pela 1a vez na pediatra ela nos disse que ele havia perdido mais peso que o normal. Dessa forma, teríamos que acordá-lo a cada 2 horas para mamar (inclusive a noite) para que entao ele pudesse ganhar peso. Na visita seguinte ficamos super contentes ao saber que o Gabriel tinha ganho muito mais peso que o mínimo que a médica tinha estabelecido!
