Baby Jane's First Month Home

I love this baby of mine.

4 Weeks Old

One Month

At Jane's 2 week visit we found out she was lost a lot of weight.

She was 7lbs. 9oz. at birth and went down to 6.2 

I felt horrible!

I found out I wasn't producing milk this time. I tried nursing as much as she needed for the next week, but it still just wasn't enough. I started supplementing and taking a lot of nursing supplements.

All seven kids ready for church.

Daisy is loving being a big sister.

With all my babies I get thrush (hence the purple medicine around her mouth), but this time I got Ductal Thrush. It was the most excruciating pain, I couldn't even nurse on one side. Then I got mastitis because I wasn't nursing on that side. Jane was pretty much drinking more of the bottle now, because I still wasn't producing much milk, so I ended up just going to bottle feeding. It's actually been a blessing. In the pass I would've never thought of bottle feeding, but with my busy life of 7 it's been so helpful! Plus, the older kids can help more and I need it!

The picture above looks just like her ultrasound picture below. 

With her arm on the side of her face too.

I'm not use to having such a skinny baby! 

She is such a happy baby!
