Hi girls,

OceanPrincess, I did find the birth a bit stressful - mainly the car ride and making it to the birth suites (it's on the 5th level and down a million corridors - ridiculous!). I had a contraction while waiting for the elevator and everyone just stood back and made way for me! It was actually quite embarrassing.
Leon is back to his birth weight as well - it's such a good feeling knowing that he's getting plenty of milk.

Megie & Nai, I am really doing the 'whatever works' thing at the moment with sleeps. Leon loves sleeping in his snuggle bed though which is so good coz it's the only place besides on me that he will sleep - will not have a bar of the crib or hammock. He has started sleeping really well the last 2 nights, I'm putting it down to my milk coming in. He goes to sleep pretty much straight after a feed and then sleeps until the next feed, usually 2ish hours or he'll wake up sooner if he's done a nappy (he can't stand being in a wet/poopy nappy for even a second!). So really, he hardly has any wake time that's not feeding or burping/settling. Is this normal?

shellbell - I was really teary and emotional on day 3. Leon wouldn't sleep (hadn't tried the snuggle bed yet), I was so tired coz he was just attached to me and wouldn't settle unless on me. Boobs and bottom were (and still are) sore and together with no sleep and painful feeding I just cried and cried Feeling a lot better now though and I hope you are feeling a lot better tomorrow

Rainforest, not sure about wind pain, I hope it eases for little Jimmy. My boobs are so sore and hard and lumpy too. Last feed, Leon was due to feed on the right side but just would not attach which was unlike him, I think it might have been because the boob was so hard or possibly the smell/taste of cabbage So after trying for ages to attach and him getting so worked up I just stuck him on the left and he fed fine but now the right side is still so full that I'm scared of the next feed

Wow that was a big post! Had to quickly get on here before he wakes up and he's stirring now.

Hope everyone has a good night tonight
