Jaxton 12 days old

Jaxton wasn't nursing well for about 5 days and he was losing weight-it was really stressful.  I went to see a lactation specialist after Thanksgiving and it turns out he is mildly tongue tied and he has a high palate.  Those 2 things combined gave him a hard time keeping suction and latching.  She gave me something to sort of trick him until he matures and gets the hang of it.  He is doing much better now.  So if you scroll down to the previous post, I posted the birth story and lots of pictures from the birth/hospital.  
So here are the many faces of Jaxton at 12 days old- If you want to compare them to Joshua at almost the same age look here.  I suggest you click on the first picture then scroll through them - you will see them a lot better.

I totally agree with you that Jaxton looks like Joshua. At least you have 2 sets of kids and not 10 kids looking all so different. So proud of you Joy.
