Hi all
Finally made it here,, but will only be quick, i have been up most ofthe night feeding, so am completely stuffed, and have a whole day ahead of me,,,, including getting out of the house for the first time since i got home on tuesday.
It sounds like nearly all of us are going through nipple hell!! I know mine are, which is frustrating as little Griffen was latching on well at first (although he was almost 48 hours old before i first got to feed him), but as my milk is only just starting to come in ,,,, he is getting frustrated with not enough i think, so for the past 5 days, he has slowly gotten more and more "bitey". When he latches onto the right side,,, it hurts,,,,,alot, but once attached, it is not too bad at all. But the left one,, when he latches onto that one,, it feels like he is getting the tip in and then munching his way onto it,, and it is absolutely horrible. Then when he feeds, as he is jaundiced, he keeps falling asleep whilst feeding, so i am constantly tickling feet, rubbing his head etc just to rouse him to suck again, but he still goes to sleep doing those tiny movements like he is using me for a dummy. so when i try and put my little finger into the side of his mouth to get him off,,,,, he sucks even harder,, and when i do get a suction break,,, he very quickly draws it back in,, so they get mangled by that,, and ache for ages after a feed.....little piruachna!! He also does not open his mouth wide enough most of the time either since getting frustrated,, and when he does open it wide,, he shakes his head, so it is hard to control it so i can direct him on.
Apart from that,, he is just georgeous!! and it an absolute gem ,,,,, but then again I am completely biased lol

Can't wait for all the belly buddies to get here,,,, there were 3 born all yesterday from my thread!! and not many more to go,,,, getting so excited
