Not us, but Izabella! What an awesome sleeper we have. She would sleep through the night if I let her. I have to wake her up to feed her. We've also made sure she has more awake time during the day. Our first night home she had her days and nights switched, but we fixed that real quick! I thought it would take a while and I wasn't looking forward to it, but we just made her stay a wake more the next day and got her up right before bedtime and she slept through the night!! I couldn't believe it. I kept waking up and checking on her cause I couldn't believe she was still sleeping. Sometimes she wouldn't even wake up for me to feed her either.
Some new updates since we've been home...
*She lost like 12% of her weight since she was born and that's not good, so they had me start supplementing with formula after I feed her. I didn't like the idea, but I knew I needed to help her gain weight and I wasn't making enough for her yet. So we did what we had to do.
*The formula started making her constipated and I wasn't even giving it to her throughout the day. Maybe 2 2oz bottles a day. But because all formula has extra Iron in it, any amount can make a baby constipated.
*Come Saturday, she was so constipated that she was screaming and wouldn't even eat from me. So...to the ER we went. They didn't even tell me how to help her or what to do. She just so happened to relieve herself after they checked her temp rectaly. The look on her face was priceless! She was so relieved! Poor baby.
*Before we went to the ER, I called the advise nurse to see if there was anything I could do to help her go since she was miserable. The stupid lady, first of all, tried to tell me that it's so normal for babies not to go poop everyday. And I told her, well actually, you are the first person to tell me that because every nurse, doctor and lactation consultant has told me that breastfed babies should poop at least 2 times a day! Second, I told her it was just not like her to cry and scream like this and that something was wrong and I knew it was because she needed to poop. Then she had the nerve to tell me, "How well can you really know a 10 day old baby"? UM HELLO!!! This is my baby that I'm been with for 24-7 and she has been consistantly mellow and perfect every other day except that day. Plus, when any baby or child is screaming, something is obviously wrong!
*She has found her thumb every once in a while. She is trying really hard to suck that thing, but her hands have a mind of their own right now and tend to hit her in the face quite often.
*She has curly hair and you can really see it after her bath. The top mohawk area stays curly the longest! We love it and can't wait for it to grow!
*She is a very gassy woman! Boy oh boy!! She can past some serious gas and clear the room. And this she has been doing from day one, so it's not all for the formula either.
My husband is so awesome! When we came home from the hospital these beautiful roses were waiting for me. He had written me a beautiful letter and told me the meaning behind the roses. He is so sweet and kind hearted! I love it so much and he is such an amazing daddy!
