Day 4 (by alaric)

She'd not had a very happy night and morning, keeping wailing until breastfed, then giving up after a while and wailing again - in the end, the nurses fed her from a bottle of formula milk, which she guzzled down then slept. The same happened in the day when I was visiting, but after much more failed attempts to breastfeed, so she was really worked up and miserable by the time we tried a bottle - and after having been wailing for hours, she then slept like a log for many hours, which was worrying in itself; I had to kept checking her breathing...

But then we got to take her home! So we're now settling in at Sarah's parent's place. She's annoyed with them since, a month after she first moved in here due to having to leave the flat but not being able to come with me, there was still only one room nearly ready. She's worred that the midwife, who will visit tomorrow, will think the place is unsafe to raise a child and - horror of horrors - invoke Social Services to Take The Baby Away.

So I won't be getting much sleep tonight as I continue to help clean up somebody else's house. Sigh.
