Thanks for the reassurance everyone. I dont think I was at all prepared for a newborn. We go through are they hot/cold, wet, hungry and then if they still cry I get frustrated.
Jess- Amber is getting the hiccups too. I wonder if there is anything we can do to fix it or to just leave it be.
Carol- The formula we are topping Amber up on is Karicare. This morning she was suckling on me sometimes drinking every hour I reckon. Just when I thought she couldnt eat anymore, DP gave her some formula and she guzzled it down. Maybe because she is such a big baby. Then I worry she eats too much. She did put on 190 grams in 4 days....
Kate- I am with you on the tears. I am having a cry daily. Ben has been fantastic. I wouldnt know what to do without him. I will mention the feeding to the Maternal health nurse. She has not called yet but I called them yesterday and they do have my birth notice.
Well little miss has stirred after being down 15 minutes.
Not a good day.
