"A very hungry baby"

Edward 1 day old

This picture reminds me of the early days when Edward fed every twenty minutes and for hours at a time. I think he would be considered "a very hungry baby". It was hard work and I can honestly say without the support of my husband I would have given up. We stayed in hospital for a week after his birth and Edward would only sleep snuggled up next to my breast. So that is where he stayed and I stayed awake for a week unwilling to let him cry in a cot. My only salvation was when my husband arrived with a willing pair of arms so I could catch an hour's sleep. He would distract him for as long as possible, so I could sleep.
