We've found our stride between the Moms On Call
super-structured schedule and the The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding
the-baby-is-in-charge schedule. Using the theories of Moms On Call we've had Maggie sleeping through the night for last 8/10 days.
With Maggie sleeping through the night I'm usually so full in the morning that she easily over does it with her first morning feeding. I have to be careful so she doesn't milk-barf all over us!
Maggie does her best feedings while in football hold. It's tricky now that she's getting so long. She's fine in other positions, but that's it. She's fine.
After trying eye drops to rule out conjunctivitis Maggie has been diagnosed with a clogged tear duct in her right eye. We have to do a warm compress massage on the area between her eye and nose and hope she grows out of it.
We'd noticed her belly button was still enlarged. I just thought I didn't remember how long they take to go down. Turns out she has a small hernia that is expected to go away on it's own.
We thought she was growing out of the snorts-when-crying thing, but she hasn't. I wonder if this will be something she does her whole life? Or if she'll be a snorts-when-laughing kid? It's cute now. I hope it's not something she's self conscious about when she's older.
