The potentially treacherous 1st night....

In all honesty, it wasn't treacherous at all, if all future nights go like this then we're golden. Lana fed Addelynn around 11pm and she went down for a solid 4 hours until 3am. Not bad at all. However, during the feeding at 3am Addelynn kept falling asleep and would stop nursing, that is until you took her away, then she wanted to restart.

After about 30 minutes, we thought she was down. She settled down at first, but about 15 minutes later was spitting mad. We spent the next 45 minutes trying to console her but to no avail. Every time you'd get her calm, she'd start suckling the air to find food, then explode. As it was apparently she was hungry, but had just nursed (Lana milk hasn't come in yet as is customary), and since Mommy was sore, we decided to supplement once with a bottle of formula. While she had been getting some colostrum each time, cumulative hunger had caught up with us. She downed it and was instantly content.

Addelynn slept for another 4 hours. Mark ended up holding her for 1 1/2 hours of it as while digesting she'd occasionally jerk herself awake, but 2 quick bounces and she was back out. We were able to keep her in our room the entire night (didn't have to take advantage of the nursery) and both still got some sleep too!
