Sigh.. and i feel bad for being frustrated. Im not frustrated at baby, just worried over small issues.
Had to take baby to get his cord checked today as it fell off early. They said it is fine, I just have to bathe it in a special solution for the next few days.
While there, they weighed him, and hes lost another two ounces, which makes almost a pound altogether.. more than he should have lost. She said though that since it took four days for my milk to come in that he likely lost because of that.
She also said he is jaundiced a bit, and that he needs bloodwork monday.. I am so worried now as i was RH negative which can lead to problems like this escalating.
On top of this I am having trouble keeping him awake to feed, he falls asleep as soon as he latches on and fusses when I wake him, and makes me feel terribly guilty about it. Then, on top of that , I often have to wake him to feed him which he hates too.
And he hasn't pooped today, and that worries me too.
On top of all that, he spit up his last feed and it looked like the entire feed, and I dont know if i should immediately try to feed him again or wait.. he didnt seem to want more when I tried.
Augh, I just am worried about him.. probably new mother syndrome though.
