Runner - I second what Disgirl says! If i can get anything done, then i'm doing well sorry to hear Amara has some reflux too. If you have too much milk (wish i had that problem! i dont have enough at the moment and building my supply up again) you can b.feed lying down.... does that help you? have you tried that?

In a typical day I usually manage to get a load of washing on and sometimes fold some clothes. Stack the dishwasher.... the rest of the time I'm either expressing in between feeds, sterilising bottles ready for next feed and settling Ava or sleeping aswell while she sleeps!

I just put Ava down now for hopefully a 2hr sleep so I am off to get some sleep too.
Had a pretty good night last night. she slept from 11pm til 3am and then after 3am feed she slept pretty well woke up couple of times but settled herself so i didn't need to help her fall back asleep. It was a good night

While my right nipple heals (cracked, damaged and was bleeding!) I've been expressing from it only as it's way too painful to b.feed with. Also, expressing L side too but sometimes feeding from that side. So Ava is now getting top up's of formula aswell as expressed EBM. She is gaining weight and has put on 100g in one day!!!!!!!
Her reflux doesn't seem to be so bad now and we are managing it with the Losec and homeopathic drops. Hopefully going off Losec this week.

Orange - Paed appointment went well. He was happy with her weight gain and said as long as she gets 75ml every 3hrs at least, she will gain weight well. Well, she takes at least 100ml every 3hrs so no probs there LOL and perhaps it was silent reflux as the medicine seems to have helped!! Ava is so much more content and happy. and usually goes down pretty quick after a feed or is happy to just look around and we talk to her and poke our tongue at her and she pokes it back! so cute......

Would do personals but I'd prefer to catch my sleep while I can !!!
