Hi Everyone,
Just popping in to let you know that our son was named this morning and his name is..... Levi Eliezer. Levi is the Hebrew pronouciation though which is with a long a sound and then a long e "Lay-vee".
Not really around much as unfortunately Levi is not nursing. He was born with a really poor suck. Cranio-sacral helped tremendously but he does have a high palette and a tongue tie so he is rally just not capable quite yet of getting on the breast. Even more unfortunately the tongue tie is very posterior so can't be clipped either. So I am pumping and taking reglan to increase my supply, and he is being fed through a syringe and a finger tube and we are also doing exercises to help strengthen his suck reflex a bit more...
Needless to say this is a round the clock job and so I am just not online much at all...
Welcome to all the new babies though and hope everyone is doing well!
