I gave E some prune juice this morning but so far nothing has happened. She is fighting naps big time today. Every time she seems to drift off, she starts grunting and kicking again. It seems like the only way she will sleep today is with my boob in her mouth!
Any success? Since I posted we've had like 4 poops! Sending you a ton of poopy vibes LOL
Still nothing.. she is nursing like crazy today so I think we hit the 2 week growth spurt. Hopefully something happens soon! Never thought I'd be anxious about not enough poop!!
singingsea and flyakite, thanks ladies. I'm not feeling that badly about it now that H bought a halo sleep sack. She's happier, I'm happier and hopefully tonight won't be as bad.
She's definitely the type of baby that likes to be swaddled. So we'll start with swaddling her at night and while sleeping and try to keep her free when she's not, then gradually move her to one arm free and then both arms free.
So far today has been similar to yesterday before we left the hospital - eat, diaper change, swaddle, sleep, repeat. I actually got something like 3 hours straight this morning. I only got up because I was starving.
So breastfeeding is going so much easier this time than it did last time. I learned a lot last time. But today I had a melt down because Lo was sleeping so deep. I woke her up and sat there and bawled. Uhg. I am really tired of course and that makes me emotionally wonky. But still I have an irrational fear of bad things happening. I went through the same thing with the last one though. Other than that it's going good.

Hugs, mama! Hopefully a little rest will make you feel better! It's so hard!

Hugs to you. I know how you feel. But it will get better. We're here if you need someone to vent to.
