tomorrow we are going to do twinkle toes , nix had his done at 7 days old so were getting gabby done and the lady will match the frames and plauques, she did a great job last time so i cant wait to see this one , then its off too see my oma , she is getting on a bit so id hate for her not to see gabby..

well after a huge ol nap this arvo and a cuppa to wake me up , i found dh went and boutght a dummy that was smaller , so when she got fussy i tried it and she gagged on it and spat it out then rooted for the nipple , so i guess that answers my question ....

poo, smelly i just noticed her cord stump has all but a teeny tiny bit of cord has come away its just hanging there a smells off... not infected but kwim about that smell...

finally got my nappy situation sorted , went and bought a newborn bambino mio pack which uses prefolds and a cover , the cover is a little big but they work like a dream , so no more leaky nappies ...

what does every one do at night to avoid leaking boobs ? or better yet , when did your milk start to settle down and not engorgre you so much ??? last night (my fault) i fell asleep with no breast pad in and i leaked all over gabby , and the bed , i woke up and had to change her and me ... it had been hours we'd been sleeping in it , atm i have natures child breast pads and they are lovely , so soft and soothing , but im scared if they get too soggy , i could get thrush , even with disposable ones i find they make my nipples moist , i had thrush and mastits a few times last time , so im trying to avoid it ... any one heard of a booby bib ??


danielle , in you post you mentioned one breast working and the other not , but you wrote left for both , which one is the wone that is working ?? My right side works much better than my left , i have always had problems with my left and i can feed in the cradle hold , on the football hold so that means at night i have to wake up fully and concentrate on what im doing ,and then its still painful , so its a bit frustrationg atm , but im not going to do anything ,like weaning from it till ive seen the ABA lady in my area... hang in there , go to a meeting . you have just remineded my to find out when a meeting is on , you never know , it could be the best thing and meet lovely people ..

i tried gab on a bottle of ebm but the teat was too long and fast , i only use the old style teats like the happy baby ones , but i stupidly assumed that if it worked for nix , it would work for gab.. but it hasnt ..
i kinda feel special that my boobs are the only thing she can take , as nixon left hosp on ebm and i had to hire an electric pump from the chemist to get my milk into him ... someone said to me once, well if hes taking a bottle , just give him formula ... .. that hurt a bit .. but we hung on till 7 mths till he weaned himself

im blabbing and making no sense .. going to bath gab now
