Alternatively, he could offer to take over whatever you're trying to do so you can see to Mack.
Do you have a carrier you can put him on your back with? That's very helpful at dinner time.
That sucks William'sMummy! Nice reasonable response, though!
Netix days like that are so emotionally draining. Big hug to you.
WM go you! Can't believe a nurse said that!
So what's with this- 6 and a bit month DD has gone from 3-4 hourly feeds, mostly 3-3.5, to 2 hourly again and at a push, 2.5. It's lasted two days. A growth spurt? Or a sign I need to introduce more or different solids? She's on three solid meals a day but she doesn't eat that much. What she does it all gets digested though going by her nappies.
She makes it pretty clear when she's had enough food so I suspect trying to give more may not work. But I could work on more smaller meals- tidbits to eat really- over the course of the day.
My DS went through stages of bf more regularly. I assume it was just to increase my supply, and after around a week he would go back to normal. A growth spurt could also explain it.

Do you know what you could be right as today she's been so clingy and temperamental. Crying for no obvious reason, refusing be put down anywhere and she just woke up from her big sleep though she was out to the world when I put her down 20 minutes ago.
Hi all poking my head back in after 9 mths of being pg and now bfing again.
So different this time as DS2 is very very hiccupy and has a lot more trouble with wind and colic. He just want to feed/suck and feed some more. I'm already worrying about reflux (he is only two weeks old so I know it's too early to tell)
I think I need to look at my diet too, I've got some herbs for both DS2 and myself.
Congrats Loula
What are the herbs?
So he's unsettled, you mean? Often little ones are just like that. Maybe if you tell us a little more about what's going on. Is he doing well otherwise?
Ah, Ladylove, I'm often right.... (in truth if you throw out enough guesses eventually one of them sticks)
Thanks! Well last night I got my old shield out to see if it would slow my flow and we had a great night. A little wind but nothing I couldn't get up quickly this morning has not been as settled. But still better. I know my attachment was bad this morning. I will post the herbs in my next post, I'm hoping to get some more zzzzz now bubs is down
i think DS is reverse cycling - feeds 2 hourly overnight and not much during the day. wondering if it's cos i don't move him after feed so less vomiting at night, whereas during the day he is on the move more. would be nice to get a longer stretch of sleep though. i have plenty of milk in the morning, and no baby wants it.
A selfish 'me' question again- I think I have supply issues on my right side. I have noticed that my nightly pump isn't yielding the same results from rightie in that I've always pumped 50-60ml almost exactly from each breast but over the last couple of weeks i can barely get 30ml from my right breast, sometimes far less. I know pumping isn't an accurate insight into supply but I've also noticed DD is less content on that side recently. Any ideas why? It's not lumpy or anything despite blocked ducts there a couple of months back.
My expressing has dropped off dramatically lately, was getting about 150-200ml per sitting. Last time only 20ml and couldn't get letdown. Think it just changes depending on your child's requirements and how old they are.
I am seriously considering dropping the bedtime bf. DS is such a struggle at that time. Kicking and pinching. Getting down and then wanting back up again. I thought they'd want that feed but might drop it and continue with morning, lunch and afternoon. Thoughts? Was this just a stage with others or is he trying to tell me to drop it? I'm just sick and tired of all the fussing.
How do reckon W would go getting to sleep without a breastfeed? I've been thinking about it too, because A has started playing around a bit more before bed.
At daycare for her nap, they give her a cup of milk, she lies down on her little bed on the floor and she puts herself to sleep. We've tried this at home but it turns into a game for her - up and down and up and down until I feed her and she goes to sleep. At night it's similar, she goes in her cot (she wants to go in there) and she plays a bit. We'll say "lie down, it's sleepy time" and she throws herself down on the mattress lol. Ten seconds later she's up again giggling. This goes on for a while, and I think she's down a bit longer each time, but eventually she stands up, reaches out and says "up". Really quick feed and she's out like a light, I put her back in the cot.
So I dunno, maybe he just needs to play around a bit before settling in? Or maybe he's ready to try other ways of getting to sleep, maybe if you just rubbed his back?
I had my first ever "maybe you should stop" comment today! We got to 15 months without one! It was because I've been sick so long, it was a "maybe you should get her off and focus on you" comment. Not that stopping will make me suddenly healthy, it's the stress of this ridiculous job that does it.

It varies and changes. You can offer her more food and see what happens
