We took Carly outside for a little sun. The pediatrician said she was a little jaundice. (She gained two ounces since Thursday by the way and she's now only three ounces less then her original birth weight.) The sun felt so good, I decided to let Carly give it another try on the breast outside in the privacy of our backyard. We didn't bother using the breast friend..I just cradled her next to me. It took her a few times. She just sat there not sucking, but holding onto it. I squeezed my nipple and milk dripped out, so it shouldn't be that hard for her to breastfeed now. In fact, my left breast started leaking milk on its own while Carly was feeding on the right. I am officially a milk machine now.
We successfully had another breastfeeding session exactly three hours from our last. Carly is so on schedule! After the right breast she did her usual fall asleep routine and then started rooting again after I pumped my left. My poor left boob was ready to explode! So, Tina got to feed her and Carly got to have the bottle again. :) It cracks me up what she does with her mouth when drinking from the bottle.
