So I have been home with Kaiden for a little over a week now, and he is already changing so much. He is a prety good baby. He wakes up only about 4 times during the night to eat. I am breast feeding him, it started out being a real big challenge. He wouldnt latch on for anything. I saw two different people while we was in the hospital, only one got him to latch on but it was only for a few minutes and he never latched on again. We tired and tired when we got home, but then at his first doctor appointment, the doctor gave us a number for the lactation nurse at Pekin hospital, and we called her and went, and we finally got him to latch on at 6 days old. She worked with us for about an hour and a half. We got home we got him right on. She did say that Kaiden has a tight frenulum, which is the skin under the tongue, which would be the main cause of the trouble latching on, so she gave me a number for a doctor that takes care of that, if I choose to, we can get it clipped so it will be easier for him. Before we do it though, we have to get a referal from the doctor which Im going to do at his next appointment which is tomorrow. Other then that every thing is going real well.
Here are a few pictures of him now
