moring ladies!
sterla- glad olivers doing well & putting on waight! as for the nipple sheald - try taking it off at the end of the feed. thats what the LC told me yesterday...that way they're nice and relaxed and should (as a guesstimate) go back on.
andjxx- fed, settled in an hour mg: how the hell do you do that. darren takes an hour to feed! as for always settleing in the same place, im sure i could lug my couch to the shops i understand how you feel getting frustraited late at night, i know i do. esp. when my DH chris is 'too tired' after a day at work...and feeling like you dont have any friends. i can also relate to that. you'll get there!!
laura133 - i know that if you want (at this stage) bubs to sleep for 4hrs they need 90mls. and for three hours its 80ml. (mind you 90ml is more nursry and rather un-realistic!)
AFM- darren has toung tie (not bad though) and bad reflux. from what that LC told me yesterday, that is the main reason for the waight loss. he throws up half his food! so im ment to express after each feed (and still one boob a feed ...i think not!) and im going to my GP tomorrow to get something for the reflux, so that he can keep his food down, but the LC also told me to 'hold him up right' for 20mins half an hour after a feed. she also told me to get a bouncer for him so he can sit up right and i can have my 'own time' (which i didnt like...i like having darren with me all the time!) but going to the hossy LC was FUN. it was the first time i'd gone out with darren AND the pram...with rain clouds looming! i managed to get the pram all set up darren was hungry (had been for half an hour) so i thought "stuff this" and started to feed him. so i walked around the hossy bfing darren..the then LC told me i should have waited and i potined out that i had NO IDEA where i was going and i wasnt going to have a screaming babie. but towards the end of the appt she told me he has toung tie and reflux. i go back next wednesday (at the same time, so i have to feed him at 7am!) and my MCHN needs a kick in the...face. she called me on wednesday and asked if i wanted her to come over and waigh darren..when i said no. i felt pritty good about the feeds we where having and just really good within myself feeling like i was getting there - she said "it seems like im more worried about this then you" but im ok with that now. darrens put on 20g. so im happy. plus the LC told me that the MCHN got it wrong with the waights, he orgianly lost 80g. not 100g. i know its only 20g differance...but i feel SO MUCH better!
any one else found that now *every time* they hear a baby cry if their bub is down they go running to check on them? chris laughs at me when i do it!
