OK it has taken me time to get back in and give an update, I saw the Dr and there doesn't seem to be an infection, or thrush, so it may be a size thing or her attachment just isn't consistently good.
So I have decided to just stick with the shields for a few more weeks, otherwise I will end up with badly damaged nipples again, which I don't want to do and you can still see the damage for the early days, and I am finally pain free again
She is getting plenty of milk and is very settled between feeds and feels heavier so I don't think there are any weight gain problems and she has certainly grown in length as she is now in 0000 suits for the length in the legs and body, but they are so baggy on her they look quite funny the 00000 pants and starting to fit around the waist and tops fit well
My only concern is she is now quite a chucky baby, they are getting bigger and now at every feed, she is pretty much only having one side per feed, so my supply is great, and I finished the Motilium last Friday and I'm not taking anything else to increase my supply, it just sees that DD2 is feeding so much better than DD1 ever did, and I haven't placed any pressure on myself or am I receiving it from others. Just the "oh so you aren't letting her comfort suck are you (its a bit hard to stop it ).. and... you aren't demand feeding are you" *rolls eyes* the typical smile and nod.......
So should I be concerned about the chucking, she is quite happy so i don't think it is bad, but it can't be nice and everytime it comes flying out her nose as well, and we are getting quite a few projectile one's too ?
