I wish I could intro earlier but It's been already 2 weeks since my little girl was born. I am somewhat adjusting to the new life style, but there are still a lot of things to learn and we are doing many trial and error!
My angel is sleeping now so I should get some sleep but my mind is so awake regardless of how tired I am
Anyway, Haley is finally here!! I tried to BF but it didn't work (she could only latch for 10 sec), so I am doing a hybrid of fomula and pump milk now. She changes everyday and it's amazing. We gave her a first bath yesterday and it was a success!
Here is the link to my birth story if you are interested in and I am so excited to finally be here!!!! https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/72982815.aspx
p.s. Haley can fall aleeps in my arm after eating but as soon as I put her down in the crib, she makes all kinds of noise and wake up. Any advice??

I agree with everything PB said. Now that E is older, it helps if I lean down into the crib when I'm laying her down and keep her held against my body until she is touching the mattress. That way she doesn't get
