For some reason my Posterous posts aren’t coming through with pics here. So I’ve edited the post to include them here now. And oh how cute they are!

With the baby’s arrival, there hasn’t been much thought for anything quicker than some quick uploads from my phone, mostly of baby of course.

I hope to be back to my daily posting soon though.

Nothing but ice today, as I quickly found out first-hand. My first step onto the ice put me flat on my back in less than a second flat. Lesson learned: test the walking conditions before walking with baby; thank god I wasn’t carrying him.

The ice came off the car in these razor-sharp pieces.

So this is the basic technique we’ve been using to feed Lee, when he’s being too fussy to feed from the breast:

We use a little 1.5 tsp-sized syringe to drop in the breast milk alongside our finger; he goes through about 1 every 2-3 mins at the fastest and 15-mins at the slowest. Whether or not this is a measure of our speed of dispensing it, varies based on who’s feeding him. If it’s me at 4am, then it sometimes takes me 10-15-mins for one; other times I squeeze it all out in less than 5.

We’re still trying to get him stop fussing at the breast, but Tristan’s just getting frustrated and doesn’t like to see him upset. It’s definitely something that takes getting used to and should work itself out with practice.

At the doctors for his first out-of-hospital check-up.
