A few weeks after Marla started breastfeeding Henry she started getting anxious, worrying about if he was getting enough, if her supply would keep up, etc. The lactation consultant recommended that she start pumping and feeding Henry from a bottle. Supply would be steady, she would know exactly how much he’s eating… problems solved!
I was very worried that Emma might be jealous of Henry, upset that she was no longer the center of attention. This has, thankfully, turned out not to be the case. In fact, she absolutely adores him and has taken to calling him “my Henry” all the time. (He seems to dig her, too.)
This was a week of milestones! Let me regail you with two of them.
First off: Little Henry is finally supposed to be born! His expected date of arrival was Jan 26. He’s now a pretty normal size and weight for a newborn and his sleep/wake cycles are pretty much right on track if here we a mere 5 days old today.
