As part of his newborn checks, I also took him to the chiropractor and he found a little tension in his neck when bending to his left side and got a little baby-sized adjustment, that might explain why he's been a bit fussy nursing on my right side at times (usually at night). Otherwise his back and pelvis are all fine.
Observations about Eli at 14 days old:
- Everybody in this family loves to hold him, and often lands on the tummy or shoulder of whoever wants to hold him while he naps. Ok, not every nap is while he is held, but he just loves to snuggle.
- He is sleeping pretty well at night, waking up at 3 am and 4 am to nurse, but otherwise, sleeps. He will not, however, sleep well in his own bed right next to me, he prefers to be right NEXT to me in my bed.
- He responds to people talking to him by making eye contact and making noise.- He is taking a pacifier which I like, it gives the older kids something to provide him with comfort, they like being helpers in that way. He starts fussing and someone runs to find a pacifier!
- An overdose of estrogen he gets from mommy has caused common "baby acne" and has little breast buds full of breastmilk, about the size of little peanut M&Ms. Uncle Jay didn't believe he had them until he saw. :)
- He got to "meet" his cousin Stella on Saturday night, 6-16-2012.
