Milestones come fast and furious for Mr Rowan.

Today we got to try breastfeeding for real.  He was really sleepy, but managed to latch on a few times, and had one really good run of effective nursing.  Scale said he swallowed 4 grams worth.  Not much, but it’s a start!

I don’t have any pictures from that adventure, so I’ll share a picture of some post nursing cuddles.
