belinda, i fed gab in the mothers room , they have comfy couches or gliders to feed in , but today i went shopping ( YES AGAIN... but i swear this time it was for fathers days gifts ) and i fed gab in the cafe and on a couch in the shops and walking around office works it can be daunting trying to feed when your so new to breastfeeding and still not fully confident , but i have a bunny rug over me if im in public ... just remeber its totally natural and your feeding your child , so no need to feel intimidated ... just wear clothes that are easy to accsess ....

gabby is in the middle of colic hour right now ... i dont know if its colic / reflux or newborn behaviour ... she woke screaming from her nap and dh burped her , then she screamed just before she pooped .. then fed like there was no tomorrow then spewed it all up ... then screamed and arched her bag , pulls the legs in .. and spews and burps .. now has the hiccups ... now i have to change her suit coz it smells like spew and i dont want to be smelling it all night ..
charmalea- I found that our local shopping centre has feeding rooms so I'm going to check them out next time i'm there. I didn't know where they were on Saturday so I ended up BF'ing in the car as Chloe was screaming and we were near the car park. I guess because I've never seem woman BF in the general shopping area that I'd feel a little weird about it but the mall has 3 feeding areas for mums so I'll check those out instead.

Re the wind with gabby it sounds exactly like what Chloe does. The last 24 hours I've been giving chloe 6 drops of Infants' Friend after her feed and has really helped with the whole thing. She was also waking after an hour or two of sleep with violent screams and the legs going along with the occasional fluff.. Seems to be helping her and it's fine for newborns. Might be worth a shot and see if it works.

[B]Snowchickie Hope you got some good clothes while shopping I got some gift vouchers for my birthday so I will be buying some new clothes too, I cant wait! So sweet about your mum showing off her new grandchild, grandparents are so cute when it comes to their grandkids
Danielle_M I managed to score myself a few tshirts from Jay Jays, pair of new shoes and later this week I'm getting two new pairs of jeans as I ran out of time on Saturday with also having to get fathers day gifts and Chloe was such a very good girl considering we had her shopping for 4.5 hours so I voted to take her home rather than continue shopping into the 5th hour.

US - Not much happening her. BF'ing still going good and I even managed to express 50ml the other day and have let hubby give her two feeds as I split it into 2 x 25ml feeds (I use this as a top up at the end of a normal BF). Did it not mainly as one BB was a little tender the other day and Chloe slept through a feed and although the dolly parton look can be considered a good one, my BB felt like they'd explode so I expressed to ease the pressure and as a bonus hubby could feed her which I think he really enjoys.
Tomorrow I'm taking her to the health clinic just to check her weight.
Wednesday we are getting twinkle toes done so that'll be fun and tomorrow I also need to try and get some photos to use on her birth announcements. I found a place online where you send them the photos and details, they customise the announcement for you and then send it back in high resolution image format so you can print as many as you like on 6x4 photo paper so I'm just going to print them off at harvey norman. Way cheaper than having the place print them for me which is like >$2.50 per announcement. Doing them myself should be <$1.20 each announcement and at least if I run out I can print off more as I need them.

Chat soon.
