It's been a lazy wee catching kind of a day at our place. I managed to catch an ECing moment on my camera phone this afternoon. Didn't film the catch itself, since my camera only films 15 seconds of footage at a time. But I did manage to film what she was doing beforehand, and then again a second after the catch so you can see how we hold her and what we've been using to catch :)
You can see in the above footage that mere seconds before she eliminates she pulls off from her feed and is very restless. She is also tensing her muscles and stretching her stiffened legs out, off camera. After she came off my breast I handed her to her Dad who had the catching bowl ready and then filmed this:
In this footage you can see her Dad holding her in the classic ECing position, which is the most supportive position for newborns. Her back and head are leaning backwards against his body, and he is nursing the weight of her body on her thighs in the palms of his hands. This position helps her work out her elimination, giving her room to stretch and kick her legs out forwards and rock the rest of her body backwards. In this footage she looks pretty chilled out because she has finished her business. Just before she eliminated she was crying, kicking, and tensing her muscles. She also had an up-chuck, so Dad caught that too LOL.
