AFM- BF is going ok, only feeing from right side atmas left is being a biarch. it hurts turns out early stages of mastitis (sp?) so i expressed last night. I did try to feed her on the left but she just wasnt attaching. so i put her on right side and bang way she went. I've been feeling really down about the pain. Almost wanting to give up but i havent..
Eboni is doing well, has been feeding every two hours, which can be a bit tiring for me but im getting through it. She did sleep in bed with us for two nights but now in the cot, only comes to bed with us if 'm too tired to put her in the cot after a feed. I did give her a dummy during the week and only use it now and then..
Hi Ladies.... been MIA... very busy with 3 kids! OK here are my stats.
Amy Melissa born 19/10/10 at 848am
Weight- 3455gms or 7lb 11
Length 49cm
have to check head circum.
BF is tricky and my milk must be coming in because my boobs are huge! I really hope it works out. Amy latches on then comes off after a few sucks. I just dont know how to keep her on. I top her up with ebm and she guzzles it down. She also sleeps alot and is hard to wake! Shes actually slept 6 hour stretches and I feel bad for letting it go that long! Seeing the nurse today. Think I have overdone it with the other 2 coz bleeding has picked up a tad and I am achy!
Mini - you must be very busy indeed with 3! It's probably hard but try and rest when you can to let yourself heal. 6 hours sleeps - wow! Hopefully she will wake up a bit more and be more interested in the boob for you. I had a bit more bleeding the first few days at home (mind you I wasn't running around after two little ones!), but the midwives said that would be normal as you move around much more when you get home.
Retro - I feel your pain, my left breast is starting to really ache - like stabbing pains every now and then, and no matter how I try to get him to latch on it hurts, not sure what it is or if it's just sore? Hopefully your soresness clears up soon and it doesn't turn out to be mastitis. Is good that Eboni is feeding well and often though, should mean your supply will be good!
AFM - Edward had a bit of a restless night last night, not too bad, but just woke up for an extra couple of feeds so not much sleep for us. I am getting used to the broken sleep though! I still really miss being pregnant though (silly, I know becasue it is even better to have him here!) - does anyone else miss being pregnant? I have been a bit sore around my scar the last few days and my abdomen has been tender so I'm trying to take it easy and not do too much (if only the washing would do itself!).DH goes back to work on Monday so that will be the real test of how I cope! I really admire you ladies that also have toddlers at home aswell, I can only imagine it is keeping you very busy and tired!
Hope everyone is enjoying their littles ones and lots of neworn cuddles and kisses!
just thought i would pop in quickly while i have 5 min without a baby attached to my boobs.
Mason is doing really well feeding. I am so happy i have been able to BF this time. It is def dif but lol. it feels like he is constantly attached to me. I am so glad DH has a month off cause it has been so much help.
DD has been ok. She loves mason but she has gotten such a attitude. The attitude started like a week b4 i had mason so i dont think it is jealousy. No matter wat we say she will be like no i dont want to do.......... and if say to her speak nicely or she get in trouble for something and we tell her to go to the corner she loves it lol.
AFU- Eboni is sleeping all the time. I seen a lady from the ABA about my left boob, I've been expressing it, only done it about twice....
I started typing my BS up but Eboni woke up. will try and do it today or tonight.
dont know what else to say. Eboni is trying to hold her head up!!
