I always knew her stats in pounds and ounces too, to tell family when they called. I like grams a little better though, because then you could still see they were making progress, even if they hadn't gained a whole ounce!

When little dude was in the NICU I was forced to learn what I called "Hospital Measure" and tracked everything in both pounds/ounces and grams/milliliters. I also pumped breast milk and tracked every mL that he ate until he became such a hardy eater that I couldn't keep producing what he wanted. So it was mixed with formula, then just formula. Even then, I tracked and logged EVERYTHING for his first 18 months. Again Kristie, bringing tears to my eyes remembering those days.
