petite chaton (i think that's kitten in french) is 3 weeks old today! she's still the best baby in the world. she sleeps every night for 5-6 hours, gets up to eat and goes back down for another 4 or more. she has her dad's lips, feet, and everything, but she sleeps like her mom -- thank god! i have to set an alarm to make sure we get up for that late night/early morning feeding. i don't know many other new mothers who have that "problem." we are a very happy and well rested family and i'm confident we'll get her sleeping through the night as soon as that's allowed.
it looks like today she's developed a blocked tear duct, but i've read all about how to treat that with breast milk, so we'll see if i can clear it up without a trip to the doctor. i hate taking her to the clinic where all the sick, creepy island people go. even the doctor said to spend as little time there as possible.
Patrick had a blocked tear duct. It cleared up on it's own after a couple months. Is that the one that's always red? How can you tell it's blocked? Did you make her cry??
ReplyDeleteshe has yellow gunk forming in the corner of her eye. it's not the one that's always red though. i've been wiping it with a warm wet cloth and i pumped an oz of breast milk that i've been putting in one drop at a time.
DeleteLove this picture. Baby Cat looks so peaceful. Of course I love every picture! I am so happy things are going good for y'all and especially that she is sleeping so good. You are blessed!
ReplyDeleteCounting down the days till we get to meet our little baby girl. We talk about her all the time.
