Cold steel fo yo nips!

Ps. Discharged from the hospital and back home. :) :) :)

She is tiny but everything else is great. No jaundice, pee and poo holes work great (yay?), latched to the nip and doesn't ever wanna let go. Eats every damn hour! Hearing test, blood sugars, temps etc etc. alllllllll good.

The nurse said she is the smallest "all good" baby she's ever had. Damn near a month early so I couldn't be happier.

Now it's time to suck suck suck the titay until she makes up her weight. I think she knows it's catch up time. :)

Oh, and penis.

For those wondering this is the device in question: I present, the nipple guard.

Junk. My kids never did like those guards. I'm sure they work for some or else they would not make them.





I remember with my first one I would wake up suddenly several times a night and have to get real close to make sure the baby was still breathing. They are so quiet when that little and their noses aren't stopped up.

thats what i thought. he absolutely cannot latch without that thing, so far... still trying.

wifes boobs went from small c to ddd and caused the nipple to flatten with engorgement.

gosh malt, why you gotta make him feel self-concious about it :-P

Getting squeezed in contractions is actually very good for baby's lungs. This is what @curious2garden was referring to.

I'm not a medical professional, but I am an information sponge!
She was actually talking about the contractions possibly killing the baby. My bad. Its the way I responded to it.

A baby can be seen on ultrasound practicing breathing. Some mothers report being able to feel it.
