And... We're Home!  

post #1 of 15
Thread Starter 
Well we finally brought Thierry home from the hospital yesterday. It was so wonderful to have him here with me all the time. but my lord is he different than Petri as a babe. petri never cried and slept ALL the time. i think this LO has colic or something because he is constantly up and always crying I feel so bad that I can't console him a lot of the time. So we are always walking him around because he sometimes gets to just fall asleep then.

On the upside, we have started our fight to get him strictly on the boob. he is nursing better than petri did at the beginning but he doesn't have a super strong suck and is constantly latching/unlatching. And he gets tired before he is actually full so he nurses until he gets too tired then gets my milk from our Nuk bottle (I heard those are the "best" for breastfeeding mommies...)

I am super duper tired between my fussy NB and my very demanding 15 m/o... And no sleep last night. But I do love having both my boys here with me!

Just wanted to update you all!

Yay! Oh, I'm so glad you're all home! Sorry it's so tough. Thierry will pick up on the bf'ing soon, hopefully. I'm sure you guys will figure it out. The sleep deprivation is the worst with a crier.

Yay!!! Congratulations MaryAnn.

How about an SNS line for Thierry so he gets more bang for the buck when he's nursing? My insurance paid for our's with dd.

How wonderful! I'm so glad to hear you're home! Hopefully the problems you're having with sleeping and crying are just part of the adjustment period and things will calm down. : Good for Thierry that he's doing so well with BF'ing so far! Congrats mama!
