@googly-eyes: Sadie was never EBF. I tried to pump for a week or two, but it didn't work out. Even when I was pumping she was only getting 50-75ml of breast milk per day. I think since we did formula from the start it made feedings a lot easier - we had a routine from the beginning. She always ate the same number of ounces at each feeding until she had a growth spurt & we'd up to the next ounce marker. She ate every 2.5 hours as a newborn with a short awake period & nap in between - no snacking like with BFing. Thankfully, Gentlease and anti-colic bottles kept any gas issues away for us!

Colicky! :((((
-
@photojane: Yeah we went through somewhere around 5-6 bottles and 3 formulas before we got it right!
-
@googly-eyes: We tried a bunch of formulas over the first 2 weeks too! The hospital gave us Enfamil Newborn and Infant, and we tried Similac Advance ready to feeds too. None of them made her terribly fussy, but Gentlease was the only one that didn't cause a lot spit up, so we stuck with it. I'm counting my blessings that it was so easy to land on one that works so well for us!
-
@photojane: I think the hospital gives the crappy ones. If we ff next time we are showing up with our own formula/bottles. Haha.

Easy-going. Phew!
-
Our baby was very easygoing in that she didn't cry a lot and almost never for extended periods of time. I still had a really hard time with her at the beginning though b/c I wasn't able to produce enough milk for her, she never napped predictably, and I experienced PPD. So even though she was an "easy" baby, we weren't leaving the house and just rolling with it the way some other moms do.

G was a really easy going baby, easy going toddler, and has been a pretty easy to raise kid.
P had tongue tie & protein intolerances so the first 5 months were incredibly difficult
-
@skibobrown: Yeah, maybe I should do another poll on whether you had an easy time postpartum! I bet those results would be a bit different!
-
Not easy. We never went out, we hardly had time to brush our teeth regularly
She developed a milk protein intolerance at 6 months and I aged 10 yrs within that single month! Hats off to those that had to deal with that at the NB stage. I do not know how you did it!
-
Easy as a dream. We were doing things out in the world at 1 week old. She nursed for hours and hours a day, and didn't sleep much during the day. But she was always happy.
-
God knew I needed an easy baby and that is what I got!
-
M was super easy as a newborn! BUT as soon as he completed his 3rd month, well, it was an entirely different story. He is so defiant! He's 9 months now and his personality is getting stronger and stronger. He's still a very good baby but just not as easy and SO and I were spoiled by those first 3 months of bliss! Sigh.
