OP- Good to hear things are going well. Kaz- Oh no, that rash looks itchy, hope it goes away soon Shell- to you and poo to your DF! That's good you've discovered a good settling technique. I've tried patting DD in the basinette but she won't have it, damn. Meg- I hope the GP can give you some answers Det- oh no, migraines are horrible laura- You've been given some great advice. You do what's best for you. It really sounds like breastfeeding is important to you though so I agree with the others, give the ABA a call and talk to them about what's going on, they can give you lots of tips about boosting your supply if that's what you need. Ali- Oh that's horrible, I hope you feel better and that doesn't happen again!! DD has hardly slept today either, she was awake from 9am til 3.30 with only a couple of 1/2hr cat naps! She is finally asleep, phew. Jols- Happy anniversary!!!!!!!!! Holly- I didn't think it was possible to overfeed a BF baby?? That's what I've heard? I don't know what else you can do if that's what they want. I use the bb to settle aswell, esp at night when I just can't be bothered and that's the easiest way! My little girl is a chubber and has been feeding almost constantly today!! I'm probably overfeeding her too, lol, oh well. tarkine- how are you going?
Well, good news!!!!!!!!! I just fed off the left side!!!! Have been expressing for a week on that side and the crack is finally healed! I was so nervous trying it but she attached perfectly and it didn't hurt at all!! I am so happy. I hope it continues this way. No more expressing at night would be bliss, more sleep, phew.
How gross am I. DD has hardly slept today and is finally asleep in the hug-a-bub and I was busting for the loo. No way I was risking waking her by taking her out so she went with me
ETA- quit talking so much!! lol. There's more posts by the time I finish typing!! Meg glad you got a script from the GP and I hope it does the trick.
Hey girls
another quick one for me- suppose to be doing paperwork- oops
Levi unsettled today- he doesnt like my migrane meds- well either do i- migrane finally went at 10ish last nite- got appointment with a/p next wed so hopefully get some relief!
He ended up feeding yesterday from just after 3pm till midnite off and on- man what a cluster feed- reckon my milk was down a bit due to feeling like death warmed up!
he still woke up mind you every 2-3 hours overnite. Tonite down at 7.30pm so hopefully he gets some zzzz- he needs them!
Is anyone else going to the meet up in footscray on Thurs for lunch?? Saw Nai's name down and Mkates as well. I am gonna go- so anyone else in melb that can make it- it will be good! The details are in a thread called " Who lives in Footscray?' or somehting like that. I have only met one person from here IRL- OP! so it will be good to put faces to those i speak to- lol i will be wierd calling people by their real names and not their handles!
oops better get back to work b4 i get busted lol
mwah
Thank you so much everyone!!! im not going to thank everyone personally because you have all given me kind words and plenty of advice and i honestly dont feel as bad after reading all your comments. Thank you again xx
ok time to catch up...
Tracey - today (well yesterday now) must have been a hard day for you and your family. We are all still thinking of you and praying for you xx
Ali- are you ok?? how is A been today with her sleeping?? i agree with ajp if you do feel like that again i would definatly be seeing a doctor. or maybe even just mention it to the MCHN when you see them next?
As for my birthday it is this sat night (28th), not having a HUGE party only invited about 50 people or so. Having it a a restaurant called pebbles - it is actually a FANTASTIC place to take kids as they have a huge playroom etc.. i have noticed it is a very popular place for mothers groups to meet and have coffee and lunch.
Then after that we will be going back to my mums place to party the rest of the night away!! i will definatly be posting a couple of photos of me, DP, Logan and Bella all dressed up.. i got logan and bella the cutest outfits
My ACTUAL birthday isnt until the 31st though.
AJP- happy anniversary!!! i was supposed to go to mothers group today and forgot all about it
Kaz- maybe he is draining a lot quicker now? or maybe he is getting more of the proper milk and it is satisfying him better? how is your rash?
Nai - i wish i could get someone to look after my kids this weekend!! i only turn 21 once!! i hardy ever look at anyones ages on here because i just seem to think we are all around the same age i never would have guessed u were that much older than me.
Holly - i hope L lets his mummy get some sleep tonight!!
Shell - woohoo on starting your own mothers group!!! it will be nice for you to get out of the house and have some time to catch up with friends!! i found if i ate alot of chocolate bella would play up...
MM - thats great that you got the zantac. i found the more tired i was the more i would get out of the house and go and do things. just dont run yourself down!! can u have a nap in the arvo maybe?
tarkine - barb glare from BB is a LC ad has given me some great advice today and even better she lives in the same town as me so i will be seeing her in the next few days hopefully.
Heaven - it is so hard to keep up in here!!! YAY for being able to feed on the left side again!!!! LOL about taking bubs to the toilet... early toilet training perhaps??
det -
AFM- IM SO HAPPY TODAY!!! my boss called me earlier today and offered me the sunday manager position!!!! im so so excited...so i will be starting that in may. I know how to everything else in the store supervisor, storeman, cashier etc and i have always wanted to do managment and now i am!!!!
have had a bit of trouble getting bella used to the formula but it has been worth it as my supply of milk is slowly catching up again!!! hopefully i wont need to buy another tin of formula.
on a rather note - DS is really getting on my nerves. i feel like he has hit the terrible twos a bit early.. i think i can feel my hair turning grey and falling out!
he is already back answering me and its always 'no'.. "Logan stop doing that"... "NO"
"LOGAN stop doing that please"... "NO"... "LOGAN stop drawing on yourself".. "NO"
yes well u get the picture..

: spelling
Heaven - I went to the loo with DD attached to me yest as well.
Had a TERRIBLE night last night. Fed at 8:00pm, then 11pm (so down again by 12am) then up at 2am, and didn't settle till 5am! Then she only slept till 6am, because she was due to feed again by then. DH was determined that she coulddn't sleep in our bed, so kept trying to resettle her in the cot. Concequently it kept me up longer. I kept begging him to just let her get in with us and he wouldn't. He started to get really mad and even said something like "just shut up baby" (not yelling though) All the resettling woke J up twice as well.
I am thinking if he realy is determined to do that, we will have to move her down the other end of the house in the evenings so not to wake up J. So last night I slept all of ohh... let me see.... 4 or maybe 5 very broken hours.
All good for him to want to resettle, as he still sleeps while I feed. Then he goes to work and has a snooze of the jason recliners.
Can't read all your posts as I am just finding it too hard at the moment, but wanted to let you all know that the beautiful rose bush that you got me is now flowering and it has the most gorgeous dusky pink roses, it is just perfect. Thank you all very much.
Coping at the moment, but having really bad days as well, miss Milana so much.
Going to carry on with my doula stuff though, have a lady due in 8 weeks, meeting her tomorrow, know it will be tough but have to do it as part of my healing process.
Applying for midwifery in August as well, lot of people applying for so few places, but if I don't apply won't get in will I. Need something to focus on.
Glad you are all doing well with bubs, wish I could carry on chatting to you all in here but at the moment it's too hard to read the posts, but will pop back in now and again to say hi. Will try to work out a way to send you all a pic of Milana,
Take care
so good to hear from you tracey i cant imagine your pain
glad the rose is flowering, milana must like it
i hope you get into midwifery, as im sure you'll be wonderful at it.
take care and lots of love to you all
to you and poo to your DF! That's good you've discovered a good settling technique. I've tried patting DD in the basinette but she won't have it, damn.
note - DS is really getting on my nerves. i feel like he has hit the terrible twos a bit early.. i think i can feel my hair turning grey and falling out!
