Good signs that his body is working the way it ought to be. But let me tell ya, his poops are <strong>weird<\/strong>!

It&#8217;s supposed to get worse before it gets better. The cause is still unknown, but some &#8220;experts&#8221; believe that it&#8217;s the mother&#8217;s hormones reacting with the baby&#8217;s. The acne goes away in a couple of weeks though.<\/p>\n<p>Both Grace and Bryan and doing very well. Bryan&#8217;s still trying to learn to latch on to Grace&#8217;s nipples for feeding. It&#8217;s really a learning process for both of them. But it&#8217;s really amazing to see little new borns with this sucking instinct without anyone teaching them. It may take a few days for Grace&#8217;s breast to be able to produce enough milk for Bryan. But in the meantime, both parties have to keep trying. It&#8217;s the baby&#8217;s sucking motion that helps the mother&#8217;s breast to produce milk. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/recovery_room.jpg\" width=\"324\" height=\"243\" class=\"alignleft\" alt=\"Recovery room\" \/>While Grace&#8217;s body is still trying to adjust its postpartum hormone levels, we are tricking Bryan with formula milk the hospital provided when he does his sucking motion. He will learn that&#8217;s how he gets his food&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>They will be out of the hospital tomorrow if both of their vitals are ok. We look forward to having them back at home finally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bryan pooped and peepeed a few times.
