Garrett William is born at 11:41 PM.  I was planning on breastfeeding, but Mr. Hungry just couldn't get satisfied, so we ended up supplementing with formula.  We started with Enfamil LIPIL.  So as not to introduce any confusion, we used a finger syringe to feed him.  It was like feeding a little wounded bird!  He couldn't seem to settle down in the bassinette, so I ended up sleeping with him in my arms.

Garrett seemed to have develop a rash, so he was switched to Prosobee formula.  He seemed to be pretty comfortable during the day.

The pediatrician commented today that Garrett looked a little yellow and might have jaundice.

Coming home day!  Well, actually it was coming home "night".  We didn't leave the hospital until after midnight.  So our first night at home was a pretty short one.  Leaning over our bed ( a raised rice bed ) to reach the bassinette was too uncomfortable for me, so we ended up putting Garrett between us in the bed.  We are now using a co-sleeping device called a Snuggle Nest that keeps him safe.  http://www.snugglenest.com

Garrett has not been having bowel movements ( aka BM's ), which I thought was contributing to the jaundice.

We decided that his rash was not due to the formula, as it went away, so we put him back on Enfamil LIPIL.
