Daddy holding his little girl. She was a bit fussy, and then let out her "I'm hungry!" cry.
Daddy went to work early this morning, but surprised his girls by coming home early afternoon and working the rest of the day from home. His boss is also allowing him to work remotely (when he doesn't have meetings) into December, which makes Mommy SUPER happy. It's hard being alone all day!
The gripe water seems to work pretty well for Maddie's little tummy. She only fussed for a two hour stretch today and is getting more alert between morning feedings. Today, we tried a little tummy time, which lasted for about 1 minute, but we'll keep trying. Her head is getting stronger each day.
Breastfeeding is still challenging. We are hoping to see a lactation consultant tomorrow night to be certain the latch is good. Nights continue to challenge Mommy, and Daddy gets up to try and comfort her but it's hard for all. The nipple shield is helping a bit, but Mommy still isn't in love with nursing...yet. Daddy continues to support Mommy as best as he can and we look forward to the days which are a lot easier.
