The only study on diaper counts has shown that even newborns who lose excessive weight can produce up to 6 wet and dirty diapers a day. By 53 hours of life, he had lost 9.72%.Īt this time, the scientific literature on wet and dirty diaper production has shown that the number of diapers produced have no correlation with adequacy of milk intake in the first 4 days of life. On the second day, he produced 3 wet diapers and 6 dirty diapers and nursed for almost 14 hours total. His nursing sessions became longer and longer until he was on the breast continuously by the second day of life. Unless you’d had a breast augmentation or cancer or some serious medical reason as to why you couldn’t breastfeed, your baby would not be given formula unless a prescription was written by the pediatrician.)īy the first 24 hours, he had nursed a total of 9.3 hours, had zero wet diapers and four dirty diapers. (What this means is everything is geared toward breastfeeding.
Landon was born in a “Baby-Friendly” hospital. We were ready! Or so we thought….every class and book was geared toward breastfeeding and how it’s so important if you want a healthy child. Jarrod and I wanted what was best for Landon as every parent does for their child.
I share his story in hopes that no other family ever experiences the loss that we have. But I want people to know how much deeper the pain gets. I wanted to share for a long time about what happened to Landon, but I always feared what others would say and how I’d be judged.
Most kiddos would be starting kindergarten at this age. Landon would be five today if he were still alive.
