The first week was exhausting, he nursed like 24/7 and I hated staying in the hospital. We went home 48 hrs after he was born. He slept in bed with me for a while because he nursed a lot during the night. He was doing really well and everything went great. I would bring him outside a lot, for walks and to the park. He was such a big newborn! He was so strong and only cried when he was hungry. Baby (the dog) adjusted very well to Deo, she just tried to lick him all the time.
