Things are going better and we're a bit more relaxed now. I shouldn't have tried to wean Babysierra off the nipple shield while Sweetie is gone. Too much frustration!

I've propped Baby up more while he's eating and let him take his time eating on one side to make sure he's getting enough fatty milk. Today, he was squirming while eating and came off the shield. I got a look at the milk, and it was shooting out of me! Wow! No wonder he was uncomfortable! I'll keep the shield on a little longer, I think.

I did make an appointment to see the lactation consultant tomorrow, before my pregnancy class reunion (where I get to meet all the new babies!). Hopefully that will go well and I can get some advice to make sure I'm doing this right.

I went to the library yesterday on a commando-strike mission to pick up the Baby Whisperer books. I'm reading the first one slowly, as I nurse the baby. Unfortunately, I also got distracted by the DVDs for checkout, and have a couple things to watch now, which I really didn't need, except that sometimes trying to do something useful while feeding Baby is just not possible, and it's just more entertaining to throw something in the DVD player for background or distraction.

Okay, Baby is awake for a little while and calm. I should quit distracting myself and do something useful, like laundry.

Hasta!
