odette- yeah tried the footy hold but found that even harder to get him on for some reason
Thanks Julie and odette for your words of encouragment!
Hoobley thanks for your post. interesting about the scent, when i was in hosp i did not wear any perfumes and dont think i used the moisturiser either? But have been since i have been home. I dont overly sweat but maybe i will try wiping down before a feed and not wearing any smells.
I am pretty sure of my dates, only a day or two out at most. But yeah ruptured membranes, then cx started about 10min apart for a few hrs then stopped all together. They never started back up again and 44hrs later i had the c/s.
One of the ABA girls mentioned how he was probably suckioned at birth and a c/s in particular can be pretty traumatic for baby. While i do agree with it i would have thought by now 2 weeks on we'd see some sort of improvement.

The other factor i didnt mention he was jaundice, never went under lights but was border line a few times, so i know that could have affected him too.
He wasnt with me in recovery and once we were back together the first thing i tried was to feed but unsucsesfully.

weight gain well he went fro 3450 to 3160 in the first few days, then at discharge (6days old) he was back up to 3360. He hasnt been weighed since but will get him weighed when i go to the hospital tomorrow. Im sure he would be putting on weight because he is getting his feeeds, just not from me!
