January Jellybeans 2013!...

The lactation team was very much "tough love" to get him to latch on and do what he needs to do... But all three of the consultants we met with all seemed to work on the reward policy. They all referred to "training" him to doing it properly and it seems to have worked. Little guy has a pretty good latch and of its not good I take it right out an try again. We're having more and more feedings where he can now latch on really nicely on the first try.

you should be very proud of how well you have both done with breastfeeding. You've really given it your all.

Congrats!!

As per bf... It sounds like everyone is doing a great job! It is in no way easy and I knew it would be tough, but I didn't realize just how tough or draining it can be.

Definitely staying!! I think Betheney is requesting that our thread be moved or made into a parenting thread or something like that once we have all our jellybeans! That way we can all stay as a group & share our parenting adventures & challenges!

Yes he can leave at lunch tomorrow, so should be home by 8-9pm.
Can't wait, just to know he is there will help xx

Congrats mommy!

Midwife came round today, Jake has put on 3oz in 2 days, so he obviously is getting milk. She thinks its probably a wind issue as to latching as he seems to get tummy pains, and why he is off an on so much, and a bit of him forgetting how to do it! We have our first outing today, and I'm not brave enough to bf in public yet, so I think I'm going to pump and take a bottle with us.

Couple more pics once he was all cleaned up. Ill write a birth story in the next couple days Thank you for all the congrats!!

Does anyone have a moby wrap? I didn't think id want one but little guy is so much happier when held and I would love to have my hands free!! Are they hard to put on? How long can I use it for until he's too big/old?

Baby slept almost all night... He was wide awake from 2:30-5 but slept otherwise! I got 6 hours of sleep last night and it was amazing!! We took the pediatricians advice and had him sleep in his car seat because of his congestion and he slept so much more peacefully. Poor guy hasn't been able to breathe well when we put him down flat
