Delivery Story (Part 2)
I am a breastfeeding mother. In my previous post, I mentioned that my baby was brought to me quite late as I was expecting my baby to be sent to me after the necessary checks. I have wanted to bond with my baby as soon as possible. But it took them ages to send my baby to me. But what can I expect when I am in a Government Hospital unlike other mothers who deliver in private hospital who gets to bond wioth their baby right after delivery.
Back to breastfeeding, when I was handed my baby, instantly I put him into feeding position and started my breastfeeding journey. But baby has other opinion. He rather sleep than start to learn sucking milk! I had to try and try to wake this tiny baby (only 2.75kg) to try to stimulate my breast to produce milk! Even some nurse who passes by try to wake my baby and get him to suck! But this cool baby don't even want to wake up. No choice, so I have to try again later.
When I was sent (by an ambulance) to the ward to rest, my hubby met my parent who coincidently was at the hospital as my mother was due for a checkup. So, my mom and dad were there to see their grandchid on his birth day! I guess it must be a happy day for them as they and I did not guessed that I will deliver so early. And we were having dinner yesterday together and there was no symptoms of delivery at all!
Sleeping at night was difficult as I am too worried about my baby: too cold, any mosquito bite, light not dim enough, needs milk and etc. So, i sleep with my spectacles on (its the same with my firstborn). I will check on my baby very often and at the slightest movement. I guess all these are mother instict on how protective we are towards our baby.
Although how much I dot on my newborn, I also missed my elder son who is at home. i wondered how he coped without me on his side especially during sleep time. He is very close to me and loves me so much. I just can't wait to see him when I get home.
Hubby comes during the visitng hours bringing home made food (prepared by my mother-in-law). I am so lucky to have him visiting me and bringing me food.
After a round of check by doctor that both of us are well, we are allowed to be discharged. How happy it is for us. I just can't wait to go home and show my elder son of his new brother. :)

Sounds like my new baby. Sleep, sleep and sleep and don't want to feed. And yes, also cannot sleep the night I deliver my babies - all three of them.
