Sleepy baby

Austin had a rough first night at home this past Monday. He was extremely constipated and his body was tensing up so bad and he wasn't just crying but was screaming his lungs out. That was the worst feeling, not being able to help. We saw the pediatrician on Tuesday morning and Austin's weight had dropped to 6lbs 14ozs. He recommended suplementing breast feeding with 1-2ozs of formula. Things got a lot better after that. We saw the dr. again today and the weight is back up to 7lbs 5ozs. Austin has been eating and sleeping much better and is now having regular bowel movements. It's strange how the sound of your baby dirtying his diaper can be the best sound in the world.

Hi Tony,
Good to hear that everyone is doing fine. Please keep posting new pictures.
Yes, I know how hard it is to leave the baby. It's so nice that your mother is there to help out.
God Bless. Pat Durtschi
