Sherry visited the lactation consultant on Tuesday. She wasn't sure if she was giving Brayden enough food since he was always feeding during the day and this was very counter productive as it kept Sherry stuck on the couch all day. The lactation consultant noticed that Brayden had poor feeding habits because he kept sleeping every time he ate and wasn't getting full in the time alloted for feeding. The lactation consultant gave Sherry more tips on feeding Brayden. They weighed him during the consultation and he was a little over 8 lbs now! Sherry took the advice to heart, and later in the night Brayden was full and slept like champ. During my shift, I was able to get him to sleep for an hour and a half, and after the second feeding, about two and a half hours. Though he spent a lot of the two and a half hours grunting and farting (though he was asleep).
On Wednesday, Sherry had a few errands to run with Brayden. They went to JC Penney portrait studio to pick up the family portraits we took a week and a half ago. They brought Auntie Ally some In N Out for her birthday lunch. The whole time during their morning excursion, Brayden kept crying and crying and finally stopped when they were on their way home. He hasn't pooped all day yet, so we're a little concerned that this is the calm before the storm. We were waiting for him to poop all day since we wanted to give him a bath, but unfortunately he hasn't pooped yet so we ended up giving him a bath anyways. He is sleeping much better today, most likely because he is getting more productive feedings from Sherry.
