esme - did you have to pay again? Steve will ring them tomorrow. They have a new office in Parramatta, you'd think 2 offices would make things quicker.
jen - Amber is a day younger than Lakshman! but he's much smaller. We're still plodding along with BF. I express a couple of times and put him on the breast a couple of times a day, apart from that he's on formula. I thought i'd at least do BF part-time instead of completely stopping for now, like if he was on solids, BF would be come some of the feed all of the feed. I suppose something is better than nothing.
my nipples are bit better from the rest, but he's getting lazy and not opening his mouth big enough to latch on. he think im a bottle! we see someone from the parramatta family care next week, maybe she can help.
I get milk coming out from a couple of spots at the base of the nipple, is this normal? and i suspect him sucking near there makes it more painful. well i can feel his gums on it, so he's chomping as well.
I'm so tired today, didnt stop at all. he needed 2 baths today. we had a bath in the tub, then i went to dress him up and just put a nappy on and he did a poo. i cleaned him up and he did another poo. i waited, then he did some more. and he was crying a little, and then spewed a little. just when he was all cleaned up, i turned to get his nappy and he did a little runaway hose, and pee-d all over himself. so he needed another bath! he made use of almost all of his orifices!
ash - lakshman's feeding habit is a bit out of whack too. it gets worse when we go out and he's tired and sleeps a lot more. he used to sleep at least 5 hrs at night when he was on breastmilk and now 3 hrs on formula! it's supposed to be the other way round! so i dont know what he's doing either!
