The second day morning I felt that all my sensors are a bit off, such that I didn't know if I had enough sleep. After Max was fed and mom was ready to eat, I went out to the cafeteria and had a quiet breakfast by myself.
Feeling a lot better, I went and picked up grandparents and Renee. This time, I tried a card with big medal sticker for "big sister". It sort of worked. We took turn to play with Renee and Max, took a few family pictures.It didn't last very long, though. Soon, Renee started asking to play with whoever was holding Max, and kept saying "don't look at little brother". That was the cue for us to separate the two, so that their relationship can survive for us to try another day.
When I dropped Renee and the parents off the house, Renee wouldn't let me go. I had to escape when the grandma distracting her. Not feeling like risking it, we stayed the rest of the day by ourselves. We thought we should give the bribe one more try when Max going home, so I went out and bought a guitar. It was a bit big, so we decided to check out Gymboree in the morning and use guitar as a backup.
We also learned a bit of difference for Max. Apparently he likes to be wrapped when feeding. This exactly the opposite from Renee, who could barely stay awake during the feeding.
We had our celebration dinner, during the middle of which Max invite himself in by crying his eyes off. The parents still felt relaxed, because he could just latch on and finish his business.However, at 1 a.m., the nurse who did the checkup told us that Max' weight has dropped 8% and we should watch out. Based on our experience with Renee, we immediately decided to try the formula to at least make sure he is well fed. The formula worked its charm. Max had just the recommended volume and went back to sleep without a fuss.
