Today I had to use the double electric breast pumps as my supply could easily have fed three instead of one and it was becoming too painful. I took a little more than 4 ounces off each side and still had enough to feed him right after. He was really happy after that feeding as he got a lot of the hind milk which has more fat in it than the fore milk. The fore milk is the thirst quencher. The pump had Fab and Ma in hysterics! I felt incredible relief and would like to pump all the time except it only increases supply! It's a connundrum that I'm really hoping will level off within a week! Fingers crossed. In the evening Luca got his first bath at home. He loved having his head washed but there was a pretty funny projectile french mustard coloured poop incident when we got to that area! I was laughing too hard to finish the job and Fab had to step in and take over! Today he started taking the vitamin D supplement which he will get as long as he breast feeds. Also, today his name, Luca, became official. I had been a bit hesitant but it's growing on me more and more.
This is awesome Bonnie. As Jess would say right arm. Do you have any shot of the 3 of you? Get Mom to grab some while she's there.
