When breastfeeding your baby you should see his jaws moving in a steady rhythm and hear or see him swallowing milk after every 2-3 sucks. At the end of a feeding, your breast should feel softer and lighter. You may also see milk pooling in his mouth. These are good signs that your baby is getting milk. Ways to know he's getting enough from birth to 6 weeks: ~~~Birth to 6 Weeks~~~ WEIGHT GAIN: If baby is gaining well on mom’s milk alone, then baby is getting enough. A 5-7% weight loss during the first 3-4 days after birth is normal. Baby should regain birth weight by 10-14 days. By day 5, average weight gain is 2/3-1 ounces per day (5-7 ounces/week). If these goals are not met, call your lactation consultant. WET DIAPERS: 6+ wet diapers per day (by day 6). Expect one wet diaper on day one, increasing to 6+ by day 6. To feel what a sufficiently wet diaper is like, pour 3 tablespoons (45 mL) of water into a clean diaper (if baby wets more often, then the amount of urine per diaper may be less). Urine should be pale and mild smelling. DIRTY DIAPERS: 3 – 5+ dirty diapers per day (by day 6). Stools should be yellow and seedy (no meconium) by day 5 and the size of a US quarter (2.5 centimeters) or larger. The normal stool of a breastfed baby is usually bright yellow and very loose (soft to watery, may be seedy or curdy). At 6 weeks some babies switch to less frequent but large bowel movements.

Baby is alert, active and meeting developmental milestones.

Cabarrus Health Alliance IT staff intend to administer the solution once it’s in place. We anticipate that some or all of the technologies used in a given solution will be new to our staff. We will require assistance correctly configuring the solution to perform optimally in our environment. Our administrators will require training sufficient for them to manage the technologies in question. Depending on the complexities involved, we may require assistance migrating to the new solution. For example, we may require training and/or assistance to correctly migrate virtual machine storage from our existing environment into the new one. If the proposed solution uses a new hypervisor, we may require training and/or assistance converting virtual machines from our existing hypervisor.

You are correct.  There are no signature lines in the RFP or addenda.  With your bid, please include a cover letter signed by an individual authorized to submit the bid on behalf of your company.
