Update in Brina
Posted: 01-29-08 01:13am

I just wanted to stop in and say hi to everyone. I've been busy to say the least. Brina's doing very well right now. We had our first doctor appointment today. She was 9 lbs at birth and was 8 lbs 7 oz when we left the hospital Saturday. Today she was 8 lbs 9 oz so she's putting some weight back on. It should really pick up now because my milk finally came in full force. It was so wonderful today. We came home from the doctor's and she was hungry. I let her lay across my stomach and nurse. About 30 minutes or so later I looked down and she was asleep on my boob. It was so cute and gave me the best feeling ever. I'll post some new pics later this week for everyone. Love you guys!

I can't wait to see pics! Smile How are you feeling mama? Is breastfeeding going well for you? I'm getting better with it but I'm still not producing enough for my sons demands. :/ I got a pump and that has helped increase my supply for some reason, so maybe soon I can souly breastfeed him. Guess we will see in time.

She doing well most of the time on breastfeeding. I haven't been feeling well though so she has had some formula. I forgot to mention that she has an eye infection, but her heart arrhythmia seems to be going away.

I'm glad that you're doing well with breastfeeding. It can be a challenge. I'm sorry you're not feeling well. If you're running a bit of a fever, you should see the doc. I got a silent UTI shortly after delivery--well, it wasn't really silent: I had fever, nausea, just didn't feel right, but no classic UTI symptoms and got put on an antibiotic and felt much better afterwards.

Good luck with the breastfeeding! It's hard, I know, I'm breastfeeding too. The first 6 weeks (really the first month) is the hardest (especially growth spurts, the baby wants to be on the boob 24/7). I pump a bit now and usually have DH top her off with a bottle of expressed BM last thing at night.
