1 Month old!

I WILL ADD PICS LATER...


Aedyn now weighs about 9 lbs.
This past month Aedyn has had a few problems, none real serious though.
His right eye had alot of goo in it and Dr. Wiley said that meant that his tear duct was closed off, and that it would come open on its own time.
I had to put this cream in his eye though to keep it from getting germs in it and becoming infected.
Also he was spitting up and acting like it hurt, his Doctor said that he probably had acid reflux.
And apparently 10 days after birth his stumach has acid in it and that will burn his throat. So he got medicine for it.
But I really don't feel like it has gotten any better because now he is throwing up almost every time he eats. I feel so bad for him. I think we are going to have to switch him to soy.

He doesn't really take a passy, he still hasn't learned how to keep it in his mouth on his own so I really never give it to him to begin with. I'm not sure if I would rather him take it or not. Because it's not really something I need to start because he will be dependent on it, but on the other hand it may help him sleep through the night?
On the subject of sleeping... We have another bed baby!
The one thing I thought I was sure about was that he wouldn't sleep in the bed with us like Rylee did.
When we had Rylee we didn't want her in a bassinet or crib, we bought a sleep positioner so she could sleep with us.
So we never even attempted it with her.
With Aedyn, we have a pack n play in our room, and it seems like every time I put him in it he starts to cry. I really just got tired of sitting at the pack n play with a bottle all night. It is soooo much easier for me to have him in the bed with us, because I don't even have to get up, I just put the bottle in his mouth, and done!
And he is alot more comfortable being by his mommy, he wakes up alot less in the bed with us.
So I know it will be easy now and hard later, because we had to get Rylee out of our bed and it was badddd. Hopefully he will sleep through the night in a couple of months and we can move him to his own room.

Breastfeeding didn't go so well :/
I wanted to breastfeed sooo bad this time to help me lose the weight. And while we were in the hospital, I tried and tried, way harder than I tried with Rylee.
I was so worried about him being hungry.
I got the lactation consultant to come help me, and she basically said that he just didn't want to learn to breastfeed. We tried tricking him with a feeding tube and nothing worked. So Jake just had the idea that I could formula feed him and still pump to help me lose weight. He really took the pressure off of me.
We both know he will be fine on formula.
Well I pumped for about 3 weeks everyday. And then that 3rd week, I put the part to my pump in the dishwasher and it never really worked the same again.
So that night it wouldn't even work so I skipped one night and then the next night I got it to work but I was barely producing any milk.
The next night barely any again, So I was just like whatever, im buring like 1 calorie. And I quit. :/
But the good news is that I am so busy with 2 kids that I barely have time to eat!
