As part of the whole birth thing here, you get a visit from the maternal and community heal nurse some time in the first two weeks after your baby is born.
When The Toddler was born, the nurse came within a few days. I suspect this is because the nurses could sense my apprehension about being at home and I charge of a baby. This time, the midwife told me not to expect to be seen until a fortnight.
They visited today.
And everything is great,
The Bubby is 20g up from her birth weight, which is apparently a big deal (particularly as her last feed was 3.5 hrs before she was weighed).
This weight gain means there is nothing to worry about in terms of her going around 4 hours between feeds (rather than the standard 3), and also because she is producing lots of wet nappies and chunky cheesy yellow poop (so glamorous).
It seems we have a good combination going of good supply and an efficient feeder.
Fingers crossed it stays this way!
