Heaven, thats fantastic, feeding won't be so stressful for you now knowing its not going to be so painful.
Meg- ikwym, i have less patience with Ash, I try really hard to bite my tongue over little things but I do find I'm bit more snappy. As tired as I am I put in that effort to have one on one time with her when Em is quiet.
OceanPrincess, hope you get more of those 5 hour naps from her!
AJP, I am leaking a lot too! Do you just let you pj's get wet? I have no idea how to solve the issue, I sleep with a towel next to me that I continually use to wipe myself!
Shellbell3 I really hope things improve with settling. Leon confort sucks a lot too and falls asleep on the boob, good thing is once he's asleep I can usually transfer him to his bed without too much problems.
Heaven that's great news on the bfing
AFM, started feeding on the breast again today. The left side went really well. I had my midwife come around and make sure he attached properly. It didn't hurt at all. Next feed I tried the right side. I got the attachment wrong at the beginning and it just made my nipple worse I managed to get him on correctly but the damagfe was done. The graze/chunk missing started to bleed a bit and was red raw when I took him off. So I will just have to express the right side until it heals completely and not try to rush things. Besides that hiccup, he is doing great. He's above his birth weight and has been sleeping most of the day. I should really sleep when he sleeps! I also managed to post my birth story today before I forgot the details
A is fussy 2day.. sorry no personals.. won't let me put him down.. had visitos yesterday and he is always difficult 2 settle the next day after such activity
I am glad that I am not the only one a bit snappy at my toddler. J is pretty good too, Just so noisy. E won't let us put her down this arvo, so she has had a snooze on DH.l She is about ot have a bath, and I am going to hop in the shower with J. a good way for us to spend a bit of time together.
Well after having DD on and off the boob all afternoon, DH was sleeping, eventually he got up and took her from me and tried to settle her. I went and had a sleep and she finally settled for a little hour snooze.
She woke, I fed her, then we gave her a bath and Grandma took her to settle her. Grandma and Grandpa had brought dinner around for us (how nice). She down now... not sure how long for! I'm going to sleep soon I think...
Nai - g/l with the sleeping tonight! Hope J lets you get some rest...
Tarkine maybe that's why Isabel is so unsettled... she had a big day yesterday... hmm! G/l with Alex tonight.
Holly - read your birth story, it was great! Fantastic that you had a good feed off one side, the other side doesn't sound too good... definitely let it heal hun. So great that you are persisting.
SJ - that sounds fantastic at the clinic!!! Well done on getting there and sounds great that you spent time with a helpful LC. How awesome that you had a couple of good feeds! Must be a load off your mind.
I agree, these bubs are definitely porkers!
With regards to night wear - my sister has one of these and highly recommends them, its a Kyrawear nursing/sleep bra. Do a google and you'll find it.
Its a sleep bra - she says it is supremely comfortable and wears it all the time. I don't have the leaking problem (yet?) so I haven't bought one... will see if I need one.
Well sounds like Izzy is awake so I might be up for one more feed before she settles in for a four hour sleep... glad I didn't go to bed now..!
