I hope you are able to get his weight up! If you are averse to bottle feeding you might want to look at a lactaid system to supplement him while at the breast temporarily (we use it in the NICU I work at, and it is a great short term aid for helping babies gain weight). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-back-babycakes-is-here#post-49522 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 17:10:25 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 49522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations!

It was quite the ordeal - cervidil induction, pitocin, then he's sunny side up and they don't think that I can deliver vaginally. I was determined and with the help of the vacuum and a mediolateral episiotomy he came out. There were a few hiccups after that - he had a really large subdural hematoma from the vacuum and a collapsed lung. Since I'd spiked a fever just before the birth we were treated with IV antibiotics for 48 hours and he wasn't in my hospital room, which was hard.<br /> I'm very grateful for the epidural that allowed me to push him out but not feel that sideways cut, I had an AMAZING doctor deliver him. My OB had started but by the time I was pushing had left for the next shift. This doctor was an angel, as much as I loved my own OB I think this doctor was put there for me by a higher power! She's just who I needed for me then. And most importantly, so grateful my son was big and recovered quickly from all the trauma. </p> <p>But at 3 weeks he's just gorgeous. We're having some breastfeeding issues - he's still not back to his birth weigh, so I've been asked to supplement. Right now I'm so focused on feeding, feeding, feeding this little bug. Hoping for a good check up on Friday. </p>
