Still recovering at hospital, but in love. You were all so, so right ♡ She was a champ, too -- 9/9 on both Apgars, has a good strong latch on one breast, was eyes open and climbing up my chest from birth! I also surpassed my expectations and labored 22 hours for a natural, vaginal birth with minimal tearing... despite the really unfortunate timing of baby dropping low enough to push when I was only 5cm!

I have quite the appreciation for all you mamas who have done this multiple times!

Thanks Atomic! Is EPO inserted vaginally still ok. Definitely not trying to induce labor quite yet! I thought it was just for ripening cervix.

I scheduled an acupuncture appointment for the day before my due date (July 14th)! I always go late so still anticipating going late but we'll see!

How's everyone else been feeling? Hopefully getting ready for more babies!

Things are better here. I think he was going through a growth spurt or something BUT, we bought a new swaddle he loves (Love to Dream Swaddle Up) and found pacifiers he'll actually take and life has been SO much easier! He goes down for naps like a champ now and I think the sleep is what he was missing. He still hasn't smiled AT me yet (7w3d) but he smiles at the ceiling and last night he smiled at the bird on his play mat haha. Hoping he looks at me and smiles soon!

Boyz has your LO had a bowel movement yet? I think you should call the pediatrician. Newborns are supposed to have at least one bowel movement a day and more if you are doing breast and bottle. Could be the formula that's constipating her. Hope she feels better soon.

There is no best answer. Each baby is different but mostly similac sensitive, enfamil gentelease or enfamil prosobee rcrecommended.
