Danielle was born via scheduled C-section last Friday!! She came out screaming at a whopping 8lbs 4oz with a full head of dark hair (just like her momma). I got her to the breast with in the first hour and she started nursing like a champ!!! I had a dream a few weeks ago that she was nursing, but the reality of it was awesome!! The LC came and checked her latch and positioning and said we looked great.
I was producing 5oz/day when we started. I am know using the Lact-aid to supplement her feedings but am pumping after I feed her to increase my milk supply. I supplement during the day but haven't been using it at night as I don't mind longer feeds to try to up my milk.
I have been suprised how supportive the hospital staff was and have referred them all to the Ask Lenore website for any further questions. Just thought I would report on our progress and thank everyone for sharing their support and experiences.
