My 1st Month

Mummy and I spent 5 days in hospital getting to know each other. I was quite sleepy the first few days so I spent alot of my time resting and Mummy was busy learning things like breastfeeding and how to look after me. Breastfeeding was a bit difficult at first but the midwives gave lots of advice and said we'd get used to it after lots of practice. I think we're getting there now but Mummy doesn't like it when I start nibbling on her nipple as it makes her a bit sore - I'll have to try and stop doing that!

Daddy was busy too as he had stuff to do to prepare for our homecoming. My new cot was still in its flat pack so Daddy and Uncle Breezy (Mummys brother Jonathan) had to put it together so I'd have somewhere to sleep when I got home. They didn't need to rush to put it together though because I wasn't too comfortable in it as it was too big for me. I was still used to being all cosy in Mummys tummy so Daddy got me a Moses basket which was alot smaller and cosier for me.

I didn't go out too much in my first month except for my first car ride to Granny and Grandads and the odd walk in my red bugaboo bee buggy that Grandpa and Grandma bought for me. I think Mummy and Daddy will take me out more when I have my immunisations as its a bit risky at the moment with all this swine flu about!

We had lots of visitors in my first month, here are photos of Paulie, Bronwyn, Tom and Yasmin who came to see me.
