Man you guys were busy. I made it a goal to barely use my phone in the hospital so even family was antsy and not hearing from us much. I’m gonna keep this kind of short because I’m working off fumes and the baby needs to feed again.

He was born at 9:21 am, weighed 8 lb 1 oz, and was 19 inches long. I think 2 or 3 people got the weight right. It was a very easy delivery and I only pushed for an hour. I did end up taking the epidural but no inducing. He just started cluster feeding today so that hasn’t been fun. I’m VERY sore and he just started having issues latching so we’ve been dealing with that. I’ll try to get on again sometime soon.

I’ll just drop this here... lol

Congratulations @Haley R !! He's adorable
Sending good vibes your way with all things nursing and new baby care.

I need those good vibes. He started cluster feeding so he’s up every hour and feeds for 10-15 minutes. He’s also not latching well at all and it’s starting to hurt. We’re using a nipple shield but I’m having a lot of trouble. I think I might also be producing too much for him

Final @Haley R Baby Watch Results:
With 50 entries, no one got the actual time correct. The two closet entries were:
@LynnTH with a time of 9:22 am (so only 1 min late)
@mickey squared with a time of 9:19 am (2 min early)

The good news is 3 entries got the weight correct with 8 lb 1 oz:
@Limes96 , @jenmsmith and @Judique

The majority of the entries were too low with being in the 6-7 lb something range.

Many thanks to everyone who participated but mostly congratulations Haley on your new bundle of joy! Enjoy every minute with him! They grow way too fast! (I am realizing this as my 13 year old prepares to complete 8th grade and heads to high school in the fall!)

@Haley R - he is gorgeous!! So happy hear it went well!!! Congratulations!!!

Sending a hug to you... My DD started having some troubles as what you are talking about, she called a spoke to Lactation Consultant at the hospital... she was getting really upset, thinking that she was doing everything wrong, those hormones are raging which added to everything... they suggested that she might want to pump some, and try bottle feeding intermittently... to take the stress off of her...give Dad and chance to feed... the biggest thing she kept repeating was that the baby can sense what ever you are feeling... she kept telling DD, to deep breathe, and relax, to try to relax your body, try things like turning off the TV, using the sound machine to help the baby relax as well...

I can't tell you what DD said after that call ( hormones) ... as its not Disney friendly... she did do what she told her to do, my SIL got right in there and started helping with feeding and she started to calm down... and they did the breathing together.... they all 3 got the hang of what was going on...

Cool compresses, or those gel pads in the fridge for a bit to help with the nipple pain... DD had a stack of damp bath cloth's in a plastic bag in the fridge.. to use for the first few weeks...

They did freeze quite a bit of breast milk for him, which was good as he was a super hungry little guy...

We are here for you guys...

Sending much love to all of you...

Just want to jump in here and say that just because it hurts doesn’t necessarily mean he or you are doing something wrong. I know all the experts say that if you are doing it right it shouldn’t hurt, but that was not my experience at all. I wish they would stop saying that because it causes new moms to question whether they are doing it right and worry that the baby is not going to be able to breastfeed. My experience with both of mine was that it didn’t necessarily hurt every second of nursing at the beginning, but your skin is not used to having someone feed from and in the beginning it gets very raw, very sore, and very sensitive. Once your skin toughens up a bit, it no longer hurts at all.

Also, unless the baby is losing weight, don’t worry about your supply (it will regulate to what the baby needs). My second was a major cluster feeder for about the first 4 months, so I feel you there. Congrats again! Good luck on your journey, it’s a wild and amazing ride.
