First days

This is a retroactive recap of our experiences with feeding our little baby. It will be primarily from my perspective (the father's).

We welcomed a lovely daughter into the world on a Saturday morning, she was born at 6lb 3oz. In the hospital we did the standard thing of putting the baby to the breast every 2 hrs or so. We were learning about being parents and dealing with deciphering what the baby needed. Whenever the nurses swaddled or held her, she seemed to calm down. We didn't quite have the touch.
On the second night, the baby was being particularly fussy, so one of the nurses put some drops of glucose water on mommy's nipple to try to encourage the baby to latch better and feed. That seemed to provide some temporary relief.
Before leaving the hospital, we made an appointment to see our pediatrician. We were told to schedule it for Wednesday (4 days after birth), but the Doctor was busy that day so we scheduled it for Tuesday.
We left the hospital with baby on Monday in the early afternoon.
