I agree that not everyone has an easy time of it. It wasn't too bad with my big strapping 8lbs 9oz boy, but it was a little tougher with my little girl who was a few weeks early. But I think what we most need to remember is that L&C both are so concerned about something being wrong because this baby is half Kryptonian; they just don't know what to expect much from a fully earthling baby, let alone a only half earthling baby! Also, it's tough after a c-section, trying to recover from major surgery on top of everything else -- I had that, too.
It sounds like Ellen is in on the "secret", so they need to have her stay and give them some direct intervention, as I thought it sounded like she breastfed Lois & Lucy, so has some first-hand knowledge. Also they need to stop being so worried about waking up the baby and try harder, but I remember having the same problem with my second.
Poor things -- they're so worried! They love her so much. But darn Clark -- how can he sleep so soundly while Lois is getting more and more upset? I can't imagine that he won't sense any minute and get up to comfort her.
