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
I'm finding it hard to type one-handed but will see how we go
Ali, it's great you are doing so well. Don't stress about the feeding as it does take them a few weeks to get the whole night/day thing sorted. Remember they used to party at night in utero so they are already a bit all over the place.
I have cut J's nails 3 times alreasdy! She keeps scratching her face and my nipples but her nails just grow so quickly - it's insane.
Also how quick is this? I sent off the birth registration last week and I got J's birth certificate in the mail today!
you certainly got a good stretch last night!!!!
to everyone and there little babies.
