Normal blood loss during and after surgery. Baby is 10 wks old (I can't
believe I forgot to mention that). No known thyroid problems, but mom is
considering evaluation. Gained one cup size during pregnancy.

She says the baby is a "real arm flailer" when nursing and kept ripping the
sns tube off. I want to advise her to swaddle the baby, but don't know. Any
thoughts on this
