* Breastfeeding: I
hope it's going well. She feeds at least every 2-3 hours during the day
and every 3 hours at night, and on demand. Nipples are a little sore and scabbing over.
* Nighttime: she is sleeping in 2 - 3 hour
increments. Greg is back at work; however, he is helping with Emma, who is getting out of bed several times each night. She wakes up cry/screaming about how her stuffed animals fell off the bed, she needs to put her head on her pillow, or needs to pee/poop.
* I am still recovering well. Lost all my baby weight and back to pre-Sadie weight, but not size!
* Sadie enjoys being swaddled, her bouncer seat and tummy time. She has great head control.
* Still sleeping most of the day and tends to sleep through Emma's squeals.
* Took Sadie to hospital for lactation help for sore nipples and latching. She latches on great, but is making my nipples hurt during and after feedings. The LC said that Sadie is a good sucker and just need to work on her opening her mouth wider. LC said to introduce pacifier so she won't use me as one. When I weighed Sadie after 5 minutes of eating, I discovered that she had gulped down 1 ounce of milk, which is a lot; LC said that Sadie is trying to stop the flow by gumming down on me.
* Emma likes to be in all the pictures, but at least she smiles/cheeses in most of them. Emma loves to hold her baby sister.
* Took Emma & Sadie to the splash pad. Sadie stayed in the shade the entire time and Emma had a great time with Naomi.
