Firstly - Danni - big hugs to you - it is so difficult being in that situation. He may well be full and it's something entirely different that's unsettling him. IT's so hard to know what the deal is with them sometimes, but if he was on the boob for 40 minutes, that should help your supply to replenish. That whole supply and demand thing. Good luck and I hope you have a better night. Try not to feel bad about the formula thing - you are doing a great job and it will all work out. xxx
Krysalyss - great news on the weight gain! I am so jealous of your nap.....I hear you on the whole growing up thing. When Ella (21 months) walked into the hospital to meet her little sister I realised that my first "baby" was grown up nearly! She looked so huge! The journey is sweet though as they move through all the different stages. I was advised with Ella to not wish away the baby months - you know, "I can't wait till she crawls/walks/talks etc" because those early times are such heaven and they are gone very quickly....
SezJem - hope you work out your BF issues too. Good luck.
Melissa - I have used those aspirators on Ella before - they are full on when they get all the gunk out aren't they!
Kristie - Yay on the smile! Fantastic. Look forward to that myself. Did you see the birth announcement for JenSAm? Finally her little boy arrived....great news. Mimi and Beau certainly took their time....How is Louis going with the whole new arrival thing? Ella has been great really - very affectionate with Mimi and not showing any signs of jealousy which is good. touch wood it stays that way. Her day sleep has gone to the dogs though and I am struggling still to get her back to normal. tHank god she is a gem at night. I will definitely take it easy this weekend. I took Ella to an indoor play centre today and the trip nearly was the end of me - a 5 minute drive but the car was murder on my stitches - will the pain ever end!!!
Mimi is doing really well still - although I think she did her long stretch this afternoon and I am in for 3.5-4 hourly through the night. I hope it's only a one feed night but I don't think so !!!
Mitch - good advice re the bottle in the fridge. I did the same "just in case"...
