> 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,
