Babies Born February 2008

Roquen - I'm still using a nipple shield, it still hurts too much to go without.

I had stitches, 6 i think. It was really sore the first week, sitting down, in the toilet as everything was swollen, etc. It's been 2 weeks and it almost doesnt hurt now.

Laxman feeds every 3 hrs on the boob for abt 40mins w the nipple shield, and then he has some formula, cos i still havent got much milk. how long does Jordon suckle for? I'm going to talk to the nurse again tomorrow.

Hi Prama,

So glad to hear you are still BF! At the moment he has just started going for 15 mins per side, and sometimes 30 mins later a 5 min top up from one side if he gets a bit unsettled. I have a big supply so he gets a lot in even 10 mins sometimes.

[prama]

does he just stop when finished?

[Roquen]

Yeah he usually just passes out and takes his mouth off, so I sit him up to burp him and if he stays asleep I don't offer him again as not much wakes him once he is milk drunk lol

[prama]

Ah ok.
Laxman falls asleep, but as soon as he detaches he searches for the nipple again. after 40mins, he's still hungry. because i think im giving so little, we top up w formula and that satisfies him. im going to follow up with the nurse again tomorrow. I dont know if i should just continue feeding him, but that could take a very very long time..

Just a quick note before bed,
Our sleepy baby didn't last and she fed 3hourly all night and most of today! Hopefully she is having a growth spurt.
Well hopefully everyone has a good night --I am a bit nervous about tomorrow as my DH goes back to work we will see how we go!
Have a good night everyone
Sue

Ooooooo Kirsten - sorry to hear about the infection. Hopefully antibiotics will clear it up really quick.

Esme - I have a Medala mini electric pump. Just starting pumping yesterday so have no idea what I am doing. Using Avent bottles.

Thanks for all your feed back on the noises.
