Just popping in now I'm back into bfing land after our 20 month odd break.
I'm a lot less leaky this time around, but right in the midst of that awful milk-just-came-in-two-days-ago engorgement. Sleeping last night was really unpleasant, since I could only lie on my back and got quite uncomfortable. My milk came in a bit quicker this time too.
DD2 is feeding beautifully and only takes a few minutes to finish a bf. After DD1, who took about 45 mins each time as a newborn, I am in shock. She's got heaps of wet and/or dirty nappies so I know she's getting plenty. But I'm not getting any extra TV time! This time I'm not really paying any attention to when and how often she bfs, just whenever she opens her eyes and starts looking at me. She hardly cries (well, I guess she doesn't have much of a chance) and I'm using a sling atm constantly.
She can take a couple of goes to attach properly, but that is probably because her tiny mouth is currently dwarfed by my poor exploding bbs.
