She has read every nursing book out there and shares what worked for her. What I really took away from it was a schedule cheat sheet. Since my brain was total mush it helped me remember what time I would ideally feed her.<br />http://noobmommy.com/<br />OH and check out the iphone app ibaby feed. It's AWESOME!!

Befor...She is gorgeous! :) Love the wrinkly knees!<br /><br />Before Scarlett was too big, we used to weigh her using our kitchen scale which easily showed ounces. I felt it was pretty accurate too.<br /><br />Also, spitty babies.. i get it but i really think that thing in their stomach that helps hold food down should develop fully in the womb! :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795524908217617777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873093851683468203.post-44271500258138919992013-02-21T17:52:35.446-06:002013-02-21T17:52:35.446-06:00She is adorable!!

As long as she seems to be eating enough through the day and is having plenty of wet/dirty diapers, I would let her sleep at night. You may have been blessed with a good night sleeper. I started not waking my son up after he hit his birth weight and he was sleeping 8 hrs through the night at 9 days old and has been a great sleeper ever since. <br /><br />Congrats and Elsie is adorable!Alynnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873093851683468203.post-84140044848426186582013-02-21T13:03:12.534-06:002013-02-21T13:03:12.534-06:00ugh, waking up a baby who doesn't want to is s...ugh, waking up a baby who doesn't want to is so hard! I'd try to feed Luke every 2.5-3 hrs during the day and he was like, F you. No way, no how. Of course at night he woke up fine :) I never had to deal with either kid going below their birth weight though, so I don't know. I'd have to completely disrobe him and sometimes put water on him to wake him up. Glad things are going relatively well!!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17928807868790599467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873093851683468203.post-8229041461446590122013-02-21T08:22:06.689-06:002013-02-21T08:22:06.689-06:00I second kristal.

I would nurse every 3 hours during the day and then 11 was my last feed and I would wait for her to wake rather than waking her. I found that she would eat longer and more substantially if I let her wake to tell me she was hungry rather than going through the circus of waking her. I also foun all of the people in the hospital who told me to wake her didn't have kids.<br /><br /><br />You are an increadible mom and doing a wonderful<br />job!E joneshttp://www.thejadventure.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873093851683468203.post-91890917325322667352013-02-21T07:53:42.255-06:002013-02-21T07:53:42.255-06:00She is beautiful Ashley!! I love all her wrinkles....She is beautiful Ashley!! I love all her wrinkles. Man, newborns are just so squishable. <br /><br />I'm glad breastfeeding is going so well! No nipple pain? Girl, that's something to cheer about. Regarding waking her up, I'm sure you'll get tons of advice, but general consensus is that once they've hit birthweight, let them sleep. If that makes you uneasy, wake her during the day but let her sleep at night. Do y'all have a scale? I know it's not the most accurate, but we weigh Miriam by stepping on the scale by ourselves, then stepping on with her and taking the difference between the two.

Luckily, our pediatrician's office has a lactation consultant on staff and she was only a phone call and/or appointment away!<br /><br />Also, my daughter was tough to wake up too, but eventually we both figured it out! You're doing great!<br />ACWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03573358815881753833noreply@blogger.com
