Em finally settled after 11, she always seems to have her unsettled time late arvo/ evening. So Df was out last night I had Em wanting to cluster feed and crying while trying to get a toddler ready for bed, felt bad for poor Ash cause kept having to go to Em and trying to read Ash her bedtime story and have Em screaming. Was very stressful and nightmare. Told Df from now on he can have his boys night out AFTER Ash is in bed. Of course in night too I'm feeding Em and Ash wakes up crying wish there were 2 of me!
Holly- Em will go no longer than 10 mins and then usually 5-10 on other side depending on how hungry she is. I always thinking is it enough. ETA: I just realised you don't live far from me, I'm in Bentleigh.
Nai- I have to say I am lucky with my toddler sleeping in. She never is up before 8. Helps alot with a newborn, hope you get some rest today, get you Dh to look after them while you nap.
Tarkine- If you do decide to buy a sling the hug a bub website has the pocketless ones for $20 off, so $65. I just bought one, they are quite expensive, the ones with pockets are over $100 so thought not worth the extra just for pocket.
Does everyone else stress if bubs are getting enough milk? Em has plenty wet nappies but when she starts cluster feeding and acting starving and my boobs are pretty much empty cause she is on there hourly I start to worry that I'm not providing enough in the evening. Even been tempted to go buy formula and see if she wants top up, but haven't yet, I think I'll see how her weight is at our MCHN appt tomor.
