hey guys baby is 5 days old and it has been a rollercoaster. I was discharged from hospital thursday at 430 and was told i had to take lily to the dr next due to jaundice. Friday went to dr and only saw nurse practioner and they weighed her and she was down to 5 lbs 14 oxz (birth weight was 6lbs 7oz) So I took it hard but my milk had barely started coming in. Especially since nurse weighing her was like oh little baby is mommy not feeding you I would take you home and plump you up which made me cry. After we left dr we were sent to childrens hospital to do a bilirubin stupid guy that heel pricked was horrible he squeezed and squeezed her foot.
I got a call from the dr and was told I needed to force her awake every 2 hours because she thought baby was lethargic because she slept through her entire assessment and that it wasnt normal... um I just fed her so I would expect a sleepy baby
milk FINALLY came in thank god cause if she would wake to eat I had to take her to er. So luckily milk came in and baby woke up every hour to eat. Had to go BACK to hospital yesterday for another billirubin and her number went from 13.4 to 13.9 and dr said that was not a big increase
So today we go back to test again
and hopefully its coming down I have her sitting in herbassinet in front of the window trying to get her some sunshine hoping that it helps.
Had a HORRIBLE trip to walmart and I would nt have gone had I not needed things. Lily had a fit cause she was hungry so i attempted to feed her and it was not working cause my blanket kept falling off and she would latch good so finally went to a dressing room and got some food in her as Im pouring sweat and my back killing. Of course everyone has to ask how old she is and how they can believe I am out with her... Ummmm mind your own damn business people.
and to top EVERYTHING off my OH left yesterday for work out of town. It was very very hard I cried all day its only 3 weeks this time as last time it was a month in a half.
GUHhhhhhh sorry for the long rant other then that breast feeding is going good finally since my milk is in. OKA off to change a poopy diaper
