The First 2 Weeks: a story of survivalMy first 2 weeks story The birth of my first daughter was tough. But the moment she was placed at my breast she went right on with little intervention fromme. Breastfeeding was simple in those first few days at the hospital. Then we went home..... My second daughter, was not so easy. She had difficulty latching properly and we did not have a good rhythm going at discharge from the hospital.Both kids were different. But one thing was the same: the first two weeks were an EXTREME challenge. Sleeping over 2 hours at a time was a thing of the past and it took its toll on me.
