    Example:  March 15, 2021 - 11am to 1:30pm.  I delivered an entree from Mama Michelle's today.  Baby is now 3 days old and mom appears to be bonding well with baby.  Her milk came in so her breasts are sore and there seems to be some trouble with latching.  I directed her to some great breastfeeding resources but also called the lactation consultant to book her first appointment.  She was quite weepy so I assured her that's normal given all the changes, lack of sleep, and changes in hormones.  I tidied up around the house and made her tea and a snack while she had a nap with the baby.  I held the baby while she showered.  We talked about her birth and what to expect in the coming days.  I let her know that she can call or text me before our next appointment together.
