Bryan pooped and peepeed a few times. Good signs that his body is working the way it ought to be. But let me tell ya, his poops are weird! They are black like a black bean paste… Yuck!
He still has baby acne all over his tiny little nose. It’s supposed to get worse before it gets better. The cause is still unknown, but some “experts” believe that it’s the mother’s hormones reacting with the baby’s. The acne goes away in a couple of weeks though.
Both Grace and Bryan and doing very well. Bryan’s still trying to learn to latch on to Grace’s nipples for feeding. It’s really a learning process for both of them. But it’s really amazing to see little new borns with this sucking instinct without anyone teaching them. It may take a few days for Grace’s breast to be able to produce enough milk for Bryan. But in the meantime, both parties have to keep trying. It’s the baby’s sucking motion that helps the mother’s breast to produce milk.
While Grace’s body is still trying to adjust its postpartum hormone levels, we are tricking Bryan with formula milk the hospital provided when he does his sucking motion. He will learn that’s how he gets his food….
They will be out of the hospital tomorrow if both of their vitals are ok. We look forward to having them back at home finally.
