Had an improved night, Em had feed at 10 which I thought great can go sleep after but took til MN to settle, then woke exact 3 hrly for feeds. Night feeds just frustrating cause I spend alot time trying to keep her awake to get decent feed in.
Saw bit blood on Ems jumpsuit and realised its from my nipple, no wonder its so bloody sore, been using the lasinoh cream. Can't wait to get past this hard part of breastfeeding cause I know how lovely and enjoyable it is once I get past this pain and attachment barrier.
AJP- I was just thinking this morn about how I'll go next week with my first outing with the 2 of them, already quite daunting! Bring out the match sticks I say.
Nai- Howd yr night go?
Meg, we posted same time, hopefully they get this night/ day business sorted sooner rather than later, its great you can feed lying down, because pain and engorgement I really have to sit up and concentrate on attaching, Em sleeps next to me and Df been sleeping in other room so at least waking is easier when in the bed.

Hey girls
feel so much better posting in here with all you girls- hopefully ali and kazz will join us soon! WIll have to give MK and laura the heads up as well- keep us girls together- cause we can chat!!!!!
For those who dont know me- i'm Odette- i have 6 year old twins and Levi who was born 2/2/09- our promise bubs!
I am really enjoying having just one full term bub this time around- so much different. He is a pretty cruzy baby- has to be with an name like Levi- lol. We still have our unsettled times, our grumpy times, but mostly he feeds, sleep and puts on weight. Had him weighed Tues- now 10lb4- so put on 1 1/2 Lbs in two weeks- his nickname is now "pud"!
My twins are bessotted with him- Hector the protector has to keep tabs on his every move and mother hen can settle him some times better than i can- she is way more motherly than me!
So that is it for me- finding that this time around i am not getting as frustrated as i did being a first time mum- hindsight and perspective is a wonderful things. My mantra- "It is a phase"!! - i repeat that esp when i have tried 6 times in a row to get him to settle lol
well that is it for me at the moment- he has just fallen asleep next to me after tying to settle him in the cot 5 times- ah well try again next nap- lol
mwah to you beautiful girls and bubs
holly- my nipples are shocking atm too, grazed and sore. i used nipple shields for the last feed and it was heaps better. they are just a temporary fix, but they help get you through till your nipples heal.
ajp- i had j at mitcham. you were at angliss right?
well we had a good night last night up 3 times to feed, 3 hourly, so no complaints.
really starting to realise just how tired a pph can make you feel, soooo drained.
Meg - I think Alex was playing copy cat. Last night he woke at 1.30am and didn't settle til 4.30am when I kicked DH out of bed so we could co-sleep, until 9am (again on and off the bb), now back to two hourly feeding.
Have you girls found out any foods that bubs don't like you eating?
