Raising Baby Lia Intro
Introducing Emilia Patrice, our first born child and her journey coming to our world.
Feb 25
14 times... a relatively good day
Breastfeeding Times
0231-0255, 0431-0444, 0632-0648,0734-0751
our first long rest...
1046-1113, 1334-1351, 1431-1442, 1523-1534, 1631-1647, 1719-1744,1830-1840,1900-1930,2000-2015
when we thought it would again be a record of every hour feeding, remarkably long sleep before...
2322-2344
we had another one right near midnight before we had our next long sleep.
Diaper Change
6 diaper change today. We really have to check and change diapers as much as possible if we'd have any chance of 2-3 hour sleep.
What the heck is a Feeding and Pooping Log??? I keep a log of Lia's wee, poop and feeding frequency. The challenge in breastfeeding is that it cannot be measured--baby would eat based on demand--unlike in formula feeding where bottles are calibrated. Hence, one way to measure is how often we change her diapers and the number of times she feeds (in breastfeeding, babies should eat every 2-3 hours).
Breastfeeding baby... how hard can it be? I had a bumpy start in breastfeeding baby--I suffered from sore and cracked nipples that I almost gave up. But thanks to the support of the nurses and doctors from The Medical City and from friends and relatives--most of all, from Pen, I'm now going into 5 weeks into breastfeeding Lia. Target is 6 months to 1 year. There are also resources in the web that is helpful (http://www.llli.org/; http://www.babycenter.com/; and http://www.whattoexpect.com/what-to-expect/landing-page.aspx)
