my 6 days old baby

so many stimulations, so many sensory inputs and outputs both for the baby and the parents..
we are learning

i am learning how the baby develops this habit of sucking its thumb - simply because when it was hungry it was not fed properly.. so it takes to alternative means
this i learnt on the 2nd day of my baby being fed/semi-fed unfulfilled in its feeding because of its mother's nipples not being defined for it to suckle on them on the first day itself

the baby was fed on double toned milk on the first day though bujju was told that she has started lactating... but she was not able to learn how to feed the baby.. on the day 1
so over the last 5 days, today she seems to have mastered some art of feeding the baby directly on her milk on her nipples though she is lactating more than the baby needs...

chronicling the last 6 days is a tough one as the time passed quickly with lots of simultaneous stimulations..
looking at the baby itself, it's long fingers - like mine, it's elongated feet, like mine and it's nose like amma's though its lips and smile are like bujjus and her hair is like bujju's too...

so many things we are trying to grasp on to.. how the baby is listening, trying to focus and its brain trying to grasp as much as it can to survive... suckling for all its worth and falling asleep....

it's an interesting 6 days.. and i want to write more of it with pictures..
today 'Tattwa' had her first bath 'at home'
