Aw Jodi, hope it all goes well for you, hope Nina is suddenly inspired to sleep for a few hours straight.
Oh and that's a good point about cluster feeds.

Do you guys wait til they cry to feed them, or do you initiate it, or just wait til they are looking around for food? When do you decide to feed?

After my last exhausted post, I must have pretty much fallen straight asleep, and next thing I know, Rans is bringing him in to me at 5am! And then I fed and slept til after 9, so if things go a bit ugly tonight, I will have some hope that it will be followed by some nice long sleeps. He is starting to go 4 hrs between, but I suppose I'd better not look too hard for routine in a 5 day old!

As for my pain, I think it's the grazing that's stinging and hurting more than the stitches, so hopefully that's a sign it's healing?

Better cut this short, baby crying.
