We have been so worried because Samwise has not pooed for several days. After the Doctor on Tuesday, we supplemented my scant breast milk with a goats milk concoction prescribed by Dr. Ed that we had to feed Sam with a syringe. Finally yesterday we went and got him some formula and bottle fed him, and in the middle of the night when I went to go change him, there it was!! I have never been so happy to see shit in my life.
We are going to a lactation specialist in a few minutes that will hopefully help us with breast feeding, but I feel that we have done everything!! I event tried the old wives tale of drinking a stout, but lets be honest, no one really had to twist my arm for that.
After the lactation person, we are going to visit Dr. Ed and see how the circumcision scar is healing, and make sure everything is ok.
On a completely different note, remember the episode of "The Cosby Show" when Denise made Theo a "designer" shirt that was ridiculous and had weird sleeves and a collar? I swear Sweet P made that shirt on last weeks episode of "Project Runway."
Also, "Survivor" totally ruled! I love a coup.

Your situation sounds almost exactly like mine - I promise, in less than another week you will be feeding him fine and will soon forget all the struggles you are going through now. It's tough to get things started - Henry lost a lot of weight and we fed him with a syringe as well. As long as Sam seems happy and satisfied, don't worry. It will all come together. You are so right - it's all about poop (and pee)! Take care,

See what motherhood does to ya. lol. The simplest of things like Poop, can make ya jump for joy. Hope you get all the feeding stuff situated.
