Mack is 2 weeks old today! He's been doing fantastic. We have been taking outtings each day and I'm gaining more and more confidence on being a mom. 2 days ago we met with a lactation consultant. She was wonderful and reassured me. Everything is going fantastic, but he has this fussy time in the evenings. She told me that is totally normal and very typical of most babies. She gave me some tips on how to console him during those times, but just to know it is nothing out of the ordinary made me feel so much better. She also helped me with a few fears I had about nursing out in public. She showed me some different ways to do it that are more discreet. We used the sling and it is so awesome! I was sort of afraid to use it, because I was clueless on how to put it on, etc. But the lactation consultant was so fantastic, and she spent a lot of time just helping me and encouraging me. It's a journey, indeed...
