R was 7lb 14 so L is already Much bigger. So big he has had to go straight into 0-3 mo nth clothes as newborn are too small!

Congratulations and welcome, little big mouse

Congratulations Mini mummy mouse and not so mini baby mouse!

Congratulations to Mouse Parents and sibling! Welcome little big Mouse!

Congratulations, Mouses !

Hurrah! Enjoy your babymoon.

Thats us home at last. L has let me have a couple of hours sleep, but I've a cracked nipple in exchange. It shall heal in time. Right now I'm mostly happy to be home.

ouch! cracked nipples arn't much fun!; get the decent cream though, they heal useually quite quickly, if they can get 'some rest', for a day or so. I've found oops. sorry!

Both my daughters-in-law had problems with the cracked nipples. I don't remember having that problem at all. Perhaps I have just conveniently forgotten, although I do remember it cropping up later, at about 6 weeks, but not as far as to draw blood.

We were told to prepare ourselves in advance, but I don't think I did that either.

One of my daughters in law was recommended a cream which the baby wouldn't be able to taste - well, it turned out she obviously could taste something because she didn't like it at all.

So both of them started with plastic nipple shields (is that what they're called in English?)

Congratulations mini!

No creams or sheilds needed, I honestly didn't notice it until L brought up a little blood
He is still feeding fine from both sides and today we have achieved mustard poo, which is a good sign in a breastfeeding baby.

Cracked nipples, chapped lips, hang nails, split ends, all signs of B vitamin deficifiency.

A vitamin B complex tablet can help, best taken with a calcium carbonate tablet to potentiate the B vitamins and vitamin D supplement to potentiate the calcium.

I personally use a cacium carbonate/vitamin D3 supplement, both compounded together in the same tablet.

Taking the calcium-D tablet with whole cereal grains also increases absorption of the B vitamins from the cereal grains.

Congratulations on the new mouseling.

10 pounds, 7 ounces?!

(Didn't quite know there whether to use a question mark or an exclamation point.)

as I said earlier with th weight; that's a boxing/ring-ready fighting weight, not a bith weight!

nipples can be hardened up over time... but, that can also then fade very quickly too err.... assuming male/female nipples opperate in basically the same way, as regards such anyhow
