Charlotte, i talked to couple mates who have bubs with allergies/intollerances. They said best way of checking it out is to not eat the food for 2 weeks, and thhen try it (little bit) and see if there is a reaction.

Joining in :)
On to feed #12 for today, this kid sure is a hungry little fella!!
Hi lady neon :)
TM it's fantastic you can give her EBM! It's still breast feeding.x
Thanks, HotI. I'll try that.
I REALLY hope that he's not allergic to nuts. It's hard enough with DD not being able to eat a bucket load of things.
But, on the upside, breastfeeding is going really well. Still had zero issues since he was born, apart from the first week being uncomfortable.
Any tips on breastfeeding and teeth? DS is 14 weeks and has a really swollen gum. He's been very attached to me the last week or so and is a dribble monster.
It takes at least 2 weeks to clear the system, yeah. There's an LC/dietician in Perth who does phone & email consults if you're interested. She can give you good advice, also.
Sounds like you're doing all the right things Charlotte.
Hi Lady Neon - you're doing great! 12 feeds is perfectly respectable for a newborn. Hang in there.
When DD was tiny she had about 11 feeds in a 24 hour period.
It's full on!
How do I know when his little tummy is full? I've noticed if he's had too much he will throw up heaps. But whenever I give him tummy time he keeps looking for the nipple, sucking on the blankets, his hand, shirt, whatever is in front of his face. Is that hunger or just.. weird baby behavior? He only ever does it when he is on his tummy.
They do suck on anything, DS fed 2 hourly for about 4 months but did start only feeding 4hrly at night early on. I ended up setting the airbed up on the floor and would free him whilst I slept. It's amazing what positions you can fall asleep in when you're that tired. It does get better, you do just learn to trust your instincts and what your babies hunger signs are.
DD still had 10-12 feed s a day at 12 months. 2nd time around, i don't count feeds at all.
some days i would like detachable boobs.
DD is living off air at the moment with milk and solids. She's become such s snacker but even snacking she's only wanting to breast feed every 4 or so hours.
Today has been very busy and aftr everything was said and done I realized Ive only nursed Violet 3X all day! She hasnt complained but usually I make her eat every 2 hours since she sleeps 12 hours at night :(
That's a great sleep TM. So she doesn't wake for feeds?
DD has not had milk since 2am. She's just not interested. She's had breakfast though.
she wont wake. shes been doing this since 3 months. we even coslept!
Lucky you!
Can somebody refresh my memory? I just bought a new bf bra, I love it so much. My current one (well, the main one, I have other daggy ones but they're not a great fit etc) is a soft cup with flexiwire, and I've been spilling out of it a but lately, so went a size up with the new one. So old one is a 16E, I got a 16F. New one is a moulded cup, and flexiwire again. It's a good fit but has a little bit of room in it, not so much that I can't wear it now though. It's good to have a bit of room in your bra for those weeks of milk coming in, engorgement, settling etc, right? I know it's only been 16 months since I had a newborn but I'm not really remembering well lol.
That is what the lady at Triumph told me when I went in to get my fitting just as my milk was coming in with DS (about day 4) - though I did find that I didn't have as much engorgement the second time around and boobs settled down a bit quicker too.
Ugh, teeth! We're having problems with top teeth scraping and leaving little indents on the top of my nipple while DS feeds. I'm trying to be more careful with his latch and making sure he opens wide, but it's still happening. And it gets uncomfortable after a bit, especially when he's sucking really strongly. On the plus side - wow, we're still feeding 2 weeks before his first birthday!
Ouchies CK! But hooray for being so close to the one year mark! Must be the timing, DD began having a truly terrible latch just before her first birthday, when previously I'd not had a single issue since day one. Hope he eases up on you!
We're still going here, "boo" is the first thing DD asks for when I get home from work :) Finding time and space to express at work is getting harder and harder, but I'm working around it. I'm finding that just recently I've "had" to tell more people that I'm still breastfeeding her - not that I hide it, it just doesn't come up often. But I've given up caffeine to try and help her sleep better so people ask why. Not a single negative comment yet, only positivity! Even from male colleagues!
PZ, mine settled more quickly with no 2 too. Both with engorgement, size and leaking. Didn't need my bigger sized mat bras for anywhere near as long.
Yay CK - nearly a year! Pay attention to DS's latch and take him off and reattach if it doesn't feel right. That might help.
