less orange

Harlan has been having a hard time feeding. His latch was not great and so we starting using a nipple shield. But even with that my milk supply diminished. As a result of not being adequately fed Harlan developed a fairly bad case of Jaundice.

This pictures was taken at 1 week old. Notice the "whites" of his eyes are quite yellow.

Then we started supplementing with formula and I was pumping/nursing like crazy. We started out with 1 oz of breast milk and 2 oz of formula per feeding and now we are at 2oz of breast milk and 1 oz of formula. We are hoping that within a few more days that he will be getting just breast milk.

This picture was taken a few hours ago (11 days old). Notice he is more red than orange and also the "whites"

of his eyes are closer to white instead of yellow! Please ignore the case of baby acne he is getting! LOL!

Anyway, I am just pleased with his progress and wanted to share!
