It's almost 3 weeks for (Unit 2) baby E and us! A newborn schedule is definitely around the clock and physically exhausting. I'm not even sure what day it is; feels like a Saturday everyday.
She eats every 2-3 hours and even every hour sometimes. I'm feeding her on demand, but the constant pooping after the eating is the tough part. Especially at night. Sometimes I'd change her diaper 3 times in one feeding session. At this rate, what tasks can I really do during the day if I'm going at this pace? How did our moms do it?
I have one more week (4 week old) until I introduce Unit 2 the bottle. I'm nervous and hope she can take both me and bottle. And most importantly, that she can take a cold bottle. My thought is that Lil' M didn't like the cold milk from bottle was because she was initially a BF baby (warm milk from the body) versus refrigerated milk and so we had to warm it up until she went bottleless (age 2 1/2).
This second time around, we're trying to learn from our mistakes with Lil' M and not repeat it with Unit 2.
