As the days go on we are both getting more confident looking after Addison and are doing much more ourselves without calling for help from the nurses. One of the things that we are now doing on our own is nappy changing.
Other areas are also getting much better, such as breast feeding. At first Addi and I struggled but we have now found that to feed on the left side, the football hold is the most comfortable for us both.
Night time is a little rough for us both, not getting very much rest. Unfortunately it is all taking a toll on daddy as he only has the recliner to sleep in, and therefore rest and sleep is lacking! It will certainly be nice to go home and be in our own bed. Addi is also a little restless at night, but it’s all a learning experience and we will get into a pattern and routine soon enough.
We have long days and even longer nights. The hospital staff do their best to not disturb us unless absolutely necessary, but there are still check ups to be done on both me and Addison.
