First day alone with my munchkin!

Ohhh ok ☺️

It was my decision because while my stay at the hospital there were a few days where I honestly couldn't nurse because my nipples were cracked and bleeding pretty severely and the contractions were bad which I know is totally normal but I just decided on easing into it and that's where the formula came in (when I didn't nurse) my doctor just ok'd it and said that's totally fine. My breasts are obviously full of milk now (been 2 weeks now since I had her) and I use a nipple shield which works wonders and made things easier for the both of us (even though baby latches just fine) I do 10 mins on each breast and also 2 oz of formula every 4 hours.

@ jlyn. How come dr says both breast and formula?

Well yes i am but they say you either get a two hour eater or a 4 hour

That stinks! Is that because your breast feeding?

I'm nursing 10 mins on each breast and doing a 2 oz bottle of formula that's why I get away with every 4 hours..pediatricians orders! Lol

Dang ive got an every two hour eater and sleeper:/

I had a week and a half with the fiancé home so by the time today came it jut felt like second nature...luckily!!

Tonite my first night Alone w baby! 11 days old. A bit nervous. ??

I really got lucky today! Unfortunately who knows what the night time and tomorrow will be like lol ... We feed her every 4 hours and our schedule works perfect for the two of us (fiancé and I) we feed her at 12-4-8 and repeat. I feed her at midnight and Fiancé's alarm goes off at 4 (for work) so he feeds her than..when she cooperates which she's been doing awesome I get 8 hours of sleep!! Wake up at 8 a.m feed and she just naps in between. She's doing so good so far!

I can't wait for that! We told everybody that wanted to see us to come to the hospital bc when we get home we're locking the doors!! Such a special time :)

Good luck! I'm dreading that first day alone after all the help goes. :)

Am nervous to be alone with my baby!! FTM here too, am still pregnant tho lol but hubby will be off only for a week! You have a precious baby by the way!! :)

I couldn't imagine being home with two! FTM here! Lol

She's been doing so well just been napping In between feedings ??

My hubs went back after a week it was a little overwhelming being alone with her and my two year old son...
