Judah and I had a hard time with the breastfeeding again this past weekend, so I'm thankful to have found a public health breastfeeding clinic that works out of the Sears at Limeridge Mall. They have a nursing room for shopping moms, and every afternoon between 1 and 4, two public health nurses are there for breastfeeding support. They also have a scale where you can weigh your baby when you come in

I took Judah there today, and they offered some helpful tips. Of course, he did much better there than he does at home. I think it's because I'm more relaxed when I know someone's there to help than when I'm at home, worried that I won't be able to feed my boy.

week 4 doctor's appointment

Today, Judah weighed in at 6 lbs 10 oz.

pics of the week: 3 weeks

Isn't he little?? This basin and pitcher are the ones that Rob and I used to wash eachothers feet at our wedding. It took a few shots to get a picture of him in it without him crying! Silly parents!

Kind of how Judah was sitting inside of me ... he never got a hang of that head-down thing.

our little poster boy...

Today we took Judah back to Trillium so that he could have his "newborn" pictures taken. For the first little bit, he just wanted to sleep, and none of the pictures turned out. But then I had to nurse him, and after that he perked right up and took some AMAZING pictures. So amazing, in fact, that the photographer requested the use of his pictures in their brochure! We said yes, of course, especially after she offered us several free pictures and a CD with all of the proofs.

milestone: lactation appointment #3 ... GRADUATION

March 18, 2005

Judah is such a superstar! Not only did he weigh 6 lbs 4 oz, but he did so well with the breastfeeding that he "graduated"! I'm going to see what kind of breastfeeding support and resources are in Hamilton, but we have no more appointments at Trillium.
