Congratulations! 🥰 Your baby has arrived… but now you need to feed this *teeny* human. In celebration of WorldBreastfeedingWeek follow new mom Melissa during her first 48 hours feeding her daughter.
, all I can do is burst into tears, overwhelmed by so many emotions and not knowing what to do. I can’t believe she’s finally here. She’s placed on my chest and spends the first 30 minutes squirming around before finding my left breast. With a little help, she latches. It’s so surreal and kind of strange, but she seems to know what to do.My second-ever feeding experience. Buffy latches quite quickly on both sides, but keeps falling asleep. She feeds on each breast for about 15 minutes.
This morning, we get back some test results and learn that Buffy’s at risk for jaundice. The medical staff recommend we top her up with formula to see if we can increase her bowel movements. We’re going to stay an extra night at the hospital and Buffy will be tested again to make certain everything is OK.We give her a tiny bit of formula in the hopes that it will help her liver.
before, and it’s definitely something that seems hard to navigate. I’m so thankful to have my husband here with me to help soothe Buffy after feedings, so I can rest a bit.Buffy takes mini naps between nursing and then we swaddle her and put her back into the bassinet. Where did the time go today? We’ve been trying to record all of her feedings into a baby tracker app so we know how much she’s eating, but it’s hard to stay on top of.
Buffy can’t wait to eat and is being very squirmy, but we need to hold off until she’s weighed again to make certain she hasn’t lost too much weight since birth. We’re told she’s lost only four percent of her birth weight—a small victory! My husband helps me give her a 15-millilitre formula top-up to hopefully help flush out the jaundice and get her to sleep.Baby is up again and won’t sleep, so I feed her again for another 10 minutes on the other breast.
, which is excellent news. Our midwife told us that dirty diapers are a good sign that the body is slowly eliminating the jaundice.She actually sleeps for a bit, and every time she wakes up, my husband consoles her and I finally get some shut-eye.I’m feeling a little more rested. Buffy nurses on one side while my husband sleeps. I can’t believe she’s already been with us for two days and how different life has become.
