Introducing Mimi
Had a bit of a drama!! I was at the hospital very early Saturday morning for my 3 monthly checkup with my Hematologist and I came back to find my daughter guarding a large bundle on the chair.
She had heard some tiny noises from my storage area, went in and found baby. She did everything right, made a pouch from a towel then wrapped a jumper round it and waited for me.
Thanks to her, she saved Dumpling's baby. I wouldn't care I had heard possums fighting the previous night but thats pretty normal round here, but now I know it was Dumpling and baby got knocked out of the pouch.
I spent the rest of the day until 3am with baby wrapped up in a pouch and a hot water bottle on my lap. I was really worried about her being dehydrated because remember they are permanently attached to the mothers teat for 5 months and I switched from warm sugar water to half strength powdered milk made up with honey and water and I was able to feed her every hour.
