Baby E is home with mommy and papa and back home now with toddler A.

FInal blood count went down and culture has not grown anything and baby E had one last dose of antibiotics.

They are watching for any symptoms of infections as per doctor's instructions but she is healthy and strong wanting to eat, sleep, and be awake sometimes of course at night. She goes to doctor's for a visit tomorrow.

California hospitals are very encouraging and supportive with breast feeding. Unless the baby has special needs to be taken care of the baby stays with you from birth. They give the baby a bath in your room, give medicines, weigh the baby etc all in your room after the initial bonding. Then the baby stays with you all the time in you room. The nurses are also trained in lactation so they can be of assistance to first time moms too. Fathers are also encouraged to stay in the rooms and family and siblings have liberal visiting within the room also.

There is a large sign on the wall answering questions about nursing. They give you a bookle about babies. And also they give you a free boppy pillow to have and use and take home with you. The traditional free diaper bag is also given.

Blessings.
