Joshua is six days old and this is the first post. Shows you how busy we have been. I have learned quite a lot in the past six days. Babies grow and change a lot in the first six days. They become strong. They communicate quite well, they're means of communication are limited, but so are their needs. If it's not food, a dirty nappy or sleep, it must be something else. He is as happy with me as he is with his mum. He does quite well on his own as well. At the moment he is generally very quiet, unless he needs food, sleep or a clean nappy.
The whole breastfeeding thing has come as a bit of a surprise. The baby books make it sound very natural and romantic. Kelly still screams Blue Murder. At first is was because every drop was excruciating. Now it's because she has too much milk. There are ways to turn this problem into a positive, but I worry a little about the weaning process.
Any comments or messages are more than welcome.
Kelly and Joshua together look so right.
I think this is a great thing to do -so you remember- and when you are awake at crazy times in the night. The breastfeeding thing can be hard, I remember getting mastitis 4 times in 3 months with Jasper and literally crying when i had to feed him as it was so painful. if you can push through it gets better though. Best wishes to Kelly- it is pretty full on for her at the moment (and of course for you too guru) xxoo Lynda
