We had our baby at home with a midwife. During the classes with the midwife, videos of mommas without have having an epidural, the newborn latches on right away, where as the kids born via epidural took 15 or so minutes. Not sure how true that is, but supposedly has lasting affects. I don't know how they came to that conclusion though.
Not dissing the epidural, just sharing what i've been told.

nah we know. its more along the lines of me not being able to set him down. 'youve been holding him for 3 hours, youre gonna spoil the kid' i just cant quit staring at him. proud papa

my wife hasnt left his sight except for showering etc... sleeping on the couch, mini crib or whatvever it is by her side.

how was it for Renly to latch, any tips? nipple guard is driving my wife nuts and causes him to have to burp every 5 min.

my tip would be to see a lactation consultant they are usually free to women who are having issues with latching, i bet you your midwife or doctor can get you in touch with one in your area, they even make house calls :)

Yeah what she said @dangledo . We had a private nurse from La Leche stop by the house the day after we got home. Within 15 minutes it was like night and day. Lots of help out there.

Hey now apparently they aren't so new. Let me introduce the nipple guard from the dark ages:

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.
