2nd Night

After night 1 – I’ll admit i was terrified of night 2… i was so nervous and almost sick coming home yesterday… I hated being so helpless. We didn’t know why he was so restless – we’d never heard him cry like that… then it hit Lindsay… her milk supply is going away… she’s fed him for over 3 months and we’ve got tons in storage -but sadly she can’t keep up with his demand. So she was getting stressed about it and last night we talked and agreed that it would be best for all parties if we moved forward with the goal of using up the stored milk and eventually mixing in formula until the breast milk is phased out, as in used up.

So last night with the bottle feeds he was awesome, he was the baby that I had come to know at the hospital that falls asleep on Dad after a feed. I got like 6 hours of sleep all together – or was it 5 well it was more than the 3 I got the first night.

    I am glad to hear that Ayden is doing so well. I just want you to know Lindsay that you shouldn’t feel bad about not having enough BM for Ayden. I went through the same thing with Olivia (could only BF her for 10 weeks) but she and I are much happier now that she has formula and her tummy is full. Don’t feel guilty – you gave Ayden what he needed when he needed it.

    If you ever want to talk just call me.
