Lisa,

>BAbe had lost 10% of birth weight per mom by day 3 of life. According to
>her weight info , babe is up 4 oz. today  BAbe does have a very
>disorganized suckle at breast, will nurse for a minute or so with well
>flanged lips then go to pursed mouth, shortly fall off, scream and eagerly
>seek the breast again. This is a slightly strong willed baby ( first one I
>have seen in a while that screamed until he was purple when mom was
>carrying him in the baby seat.)

What was baby's actual birth weight? Was the 10% wt loss at 3 days done at
the hospital or a pp visit to dr? Was the gain of 4 oz on your scale?   I
have a couple of ideas, but the additional info would be helpful.  I think
crying in the car seat is a sign of discomfort or pain, not personality.
TIA,
