Had lots visitors today, so of course Em slept well, then awake since 4pm unsettled and cat napping, cluster feeding, hope she settles before I go to sleep!
Heaven- Hope you start feeling better soon, the ABs will hopefully kick in quickly, last thing you need right now.
Tarkine- Your DS sounds very unsettled, I don't know how you are coping with such small gaps sleep! Yeah they can be funny bout expressed milk cause I think half time its more the comfort of boobies than just the milk.
Holly- Also try squeezing some breast milk into the eye, breastmilk can heal everything! That sucks about the mastitis when you were just starting to get on top of the feeds.
Here we go Em is starting up again, hope I get to bed soon!
E is cluster feeding atm too! Must be a growth spurt. She did well till about 3am. Fed at 7:30pm, then 11:40pm, then 3am, then didn't wabnt to settle. Get her down at 4:30am, and she was up at about 6am. Put her in with us, and she fed like a mad woman!!! She has jsut waken again now, so better go feed, She acts STARVING. I am still in my PJ's. Need to get a wriggle on
Megie & Shellbell, Leon is another one who is just wanting to feed all the time. I am feeding like every hour and a half, I just can't believe how much he wants. I know he's not starving but he screams like he is! He is also cat-napping. He will not stay still and asleep for a decent amount of time. It better just be a growth-spurt!
The mastitis has seemed to have subsided dramatically. Does this mean I can stop taking the anti-b's? I hate taking anything and would rather not keep going if I don't have to.
Heaven, so sorry to hear you're unwell. Hope today is better for you.
Off to see the MCHN in an hour, I will die if he hasn't gained some weight after all this feeding!
Last night was a nightmare for this household. Mr Catnapper and booby monster! Finally got him to cosleep at 4.30 or was it 5am and he's asleep now, but hungry, windy, clingy. He was like this all day yesterday. Hoping today will be different.
Nai & Tarkine- Thankyou, feeling better today, no puking so far, lol. Shell- That's always the way, they sleep through all the visitors and then are so unsettled when they leave!! Not fair. Meg- lol, that's like Grace. She feeds like she's absolutely starving and about to die if she doesn't eat NOW! Not nice for my poor nipples, I wish she'd go a bit easier!! Holly- Good to hear the mastitis is going. I think you need to keep taking the ABs til the end though even if you feel better. Good luck with the MCHN.
Well, a good night here!! Grace slept from 11pm- 5am. What a good stretch!! My boobs were so full though. Then she went back to sleep and we got another couple of hrs sleep and didn't get up til about 9am. She seems very sleepy atm. I wonder if it's something to do with the ABs I'm on or something. She's asleep now in the hug-a-bub. DH has gone out to get a hair cut and it's the first time we've been alone really!! A bit scary but she's peaceful atm. I'm scared she's going to wake up for a feed though and I won't be able to do it without DHs help!! She's so crazy and her hands are everywhere, I need DH to hold her hands for me!! lol. I will have to wrap her up if she needs feeding, how mean
