Hi all,

Little Ashlyn Eve was born last Thursday the 16th of June at 8:49 pm after
an intense 4 hour labour.  She weighed 9 pounds 2.5 ounces, and was 21
inches long.  We're all doing well now, Remus doesn't know what to think,
and Colyn adores his new little sister.  We're having some nursing
difficulties so I've been nursing when I can and pumping and bottle feeding
the rest.  She seems to latch okay, and sucks a few times, and then lets go
for whatever reason.  She obviously knows what she's supposed to do, but
even when I express milk to start letdown we've only had a few successful
feedings, and none where I haven't had to bottle feed.  I'm happy to pump
and feed, but I'd like to get the nursing working well enough so I don't
have to pump all the time.  Any help would be very much appreciated. 
I'll write more when I can,

Tammy
