I've been thinking about how smart and strong my baby will be. I don't know how to explain it entirely but we really have strong genes. Both of us went through a lot when we were little and survived and turned out pretty good. So, I really think that baby has a good chance of being so amazing because we will give him an even better situation. I think about what a blessing is been to be breastfeeding him exclusively for the first 6 months. Despite some weight issues I think it was a good idea to just breastfeed him. A few times I I considered supplementing with formula or starting solids a little early because of his weight but I don't think he is really in that bad of a situation since he continues to gain weight even though is not always a lot. When we go to the doctor and check his percentile he is on the lower side of things makes you kind of wonder if he is getting enough to eat but he doesn't really act like he is really hungry or that he hasn't gotten enough to eat. One thing I notice about the percentile is that it's comparing to other babies and since there's still a lot of people that introduce foods and increase formula earlier than 6 months a lot of babies it's not really a fair comparison to a exclusively breastfed baby. I guess I'm just so excited to be giving baby such a good start. I always have some worries but when I really think about it I am so impressed by our genetics.
