Is this too much of a loss?

I think you should take Sterla up on her offer - things are going well now and it might be the right time to try to make them even better!!



Well done, Mel, I'm so impressed with your efforts and perseverance. To be doing this while running around after the two littlies after all of your previous experiences, seriously, I take my hat off to you!

Yup, me too! I think we all do!

Awww thanks - nothing nobody else wouldn't do though!!!!

Gigi - the kids aren't attending any day care at the moment, so they are always with me DS will hopefully be allowed to go to one in the new year, they want him toilet trained though, which he isn't - but hopefully starts doing more stuff in that direction.

Been run off my feet today - had to drop my mum off at the airport today, so on my own with the three kids.... and I'm always rushing to do something!!!! Eden is feeding heaps today, so I sit down to feed her and realise that I still haven't changed Aricyn's poopy nappy or something similar - its quite frustrating!!!!

But I have managed to make a banana cake today (don't know if its edible or not) but Sterla is coming around for a slice this arvo - so hopefully I don't poison her.. hahahaha

Ha ha ha, sounds yum

Can your mchn come to your place? Mine always have for the first few weeks & even did at 6 weeks when I was having a really bad day. I think there may've been times after that too.

It was a yummy, yummy banana cake!!! Thanks Mel!

woohoo! What a great achievement Mel! And don't worry so much about the sheilds - as Gigi said whatever works. I used them for 9mths with DS, 3-6wks (I think?) with DD. Once they were bigger the attachment problems solved themselves and there are plenty of ladies on here who have used shields who can give you pointers on weaning if you need help when you want to stop.

Congrats again on your BF acheivement - and the Banana cake - wow - super mama!

Well done hun. That is such awesome news. You are a champ!!

It sounds like she is feeding much better now so you'll probably find she'll continue to wake when she needs to for a feed. If not though, I'd keep waking her every 3 hours during the day until you have checked that she is gaining weight again.

As for counting the feeds - you would count each "little" feed when she's cluster feeding.

Thanks Saram & MR

She feeds at least every 3 hours - sometimes both sides, sometimes just one side. She's a bit of a catnapper though, which is annoying with 2 other kids to take care of!! There is always someone screaming at me!
