[blparent] Our new baby

[Peggy]

Congradulations on the new baby.  Enjoy those first few months because they 
go by so fast.  Wish I could help with the breast feeding but mine were 
bottle fed.  As was mentioned on this list when I tried to breast feed my 
middle son the nurses at the hospital and their lacatation specialist were 
wonderful.  Good luck!

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
