We were supposed to be going home today, but decided to stay for one more night to get the sleeping / feeding pattern better established. Turns out Jack had a pretty sore tummy, which is why he was up every hour during the night, and also why a feed (temporarily) settled him.
Last night, after our candlelit dinner (which the hospital does free of charge on your last night), we decided to comfort Jack when he awoke, and feed him every three hours, instead of on demand. This really worked well; while I was comforting him and Dana was sleeping, I could really feel his pain as his digestive system got a workout. Sucking on a dummy helps to settle things, or distract him at least, and we were overjoyed when it dissipated and he managed to sleep through from 3am to 8am.
Eliza was proud as punch today to take the photo of her cuddling Jack into Farnham House for show-and-tell. Apparently Mortimer says he's "sweet".
