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.
