Ditto the advice of the boob taco. Seriously, shove your boob in her mouth. I didn't learn this until DD, which explains why the pain lasted so much longer with DS.
Also, my boobs felt really warm around day 4 or so, and the LC said that was a sign that my milk was in.
My kids were also sleepy, and I spend a lot of time waking them up to keep feeding. Strip her to just her diaper, use a wet washcloth on her feet, etc to get her attention.
good lab results today! they think her billirubin has peaked as there was no significant rise today.
first pumping session got me a little more than nothing, boo. I will keep at it though!
The first time I pumped I called the LC in a panic and said "I only got 1.5 oz!" she was like, "Yeah. That sounds right." And that was probably 3-4 weeks PP.
Keep doing what you're doing. It sounds like you are both doing great!
I hated the cramps. Mine went away after a week or so, but I remember gritting my teeth. I thought they were worse than labor! I hear they get worse with the second baby too :-(
