JAreth So far he is doing great. he continues to grow, and is working on getting on a schedule. He still doesn't sleep through the night but that is okay. He feeds at 12:00 then is up around 4:00-6:00 ( I say around but he is up for two hours no matter what i do wide awake.) then he sleeps til 8:30.. that is when his day starts. He still has red hair, and his eyes are still that grey color. WE have noticed that he eats way better than laurana did but she slept way bettr than he does. Also she drooled when she ate, he spits up alot and some times at a distance of about 4-5 inches. Laurana She loves her baby brother. She wants to "get him" out of bed for mommy, and often we have to find nice but safe ways for her to help.

We went in prepared that they might tell us to supplement his breastfeeding with the occasonal bottle (like we had to do with Laurana) however he also has taken to breast feeding way better than Laurana ever did. He is latching on nursing for 20 minutes a side and Ican feel the difference before and after he nurses. it feels like the breast is beng emptied. so then teh dr. walked in. " there must be a disconnect" she looked at me like I was crazy when I said he was nursing, told me that he must not really be nursing right. Told us to go see a lactation consultant, to start giving him formula cause "you might not really be producing how much milk you think" asked me if I had been drinking water and eating (like I was starving myself) then said I needed to rest and asked if I was getting any. Brad said we were both pretty tired and s...
