First night out of hospital was good. I slept from 8-11. Fed bub, changed him, put him back to bed at 12. Couldn't sleep because I really really wanted to come on to type my birth story among other things haha. Got up and came online. Tried to sleep again, fed bubs at 3am, had to hand express and use a syringe because for some reason he just would NOT latch on the right side and the left side was all out from earlier.. It took about half an hour. Tried to put him back down but he hadn't drank enough, so attempted to feed again and he finally latched on the right and fed for just 10 mins. By 4am we were back in bed again and he is still asleep

I think it was either the change in taste/my milk starting to come in or a blocked duct? that was stopping him from giving it a real go, my right boob was lumpy and sore and hard but after the 10 min feed it went back to being like the other one..

about J's mum:
Some of the things she did and said.
*arrived at hospital just before bub was born, mum went out and told them when he had arrived. then i am being stitched and I can hear her outside the delivery room door demanding that bubs comes out in a crib to a separate room for them to meet him 'as we agreed upon'. WTF? I never in my life agreed to that. The agreement was J get to hold Vinny after whoever is in the delivery room, before anyone else. And he did. Only mum and I held him before J did.
*made a point of saying that the baby looks ENTIRELY like me and 'oh he is nothing like you J' in quite sarcastic tone
*text me sunday to say that J would not be coming by himself outside visiting hours (he technically had to be support/partner to be allowed, but i was kind enough to offer) to spend time with bub and help with his first bath. Instead he wanted to have half an hour 'alone time' with his family during visiting hours to meet the baby properly.
*suggested we 'alternate' visiting hours so that their family could have time with him, and mine separately. um....... NO!
*and when I said that I had a lot of people coming during both lots of visiting hours, and was only going to be in til the next day so there probably wouldn't be any time, i get a reply from her phone (claiming to be J himself) stating and I quote word for word "I'm very disappointed that you would book both lots of visiting hours"
WTF??????????????? I wrote back saying that they are times for people to visit me, the patient, and the baby and I can't exactly dictate when people choose to come, that I'd speak to my midwife about arranging a possible meeting time for him and them in the morning (i knew i wouldn't have time being discharged at 11am).

So then I just didn't tell them what was happening and relaxed in hospital til I went home. Then J messaged me (from her phone - still don't have direct contact with him) asking what were the plans for today and I said sorry my phone had been flat, that I was home now and needing a bit of recovery time and would contact him again shortly. I sent him a long email via facebook (because I know it will get to him directly without his mum) and am hoping that things will be alright.

He was like I said ecstatic about the baby, he seemed so proud, although she was basically trying to say it wasn't his..
