hey ladies - great to see you all slowly coming in!!!
I have been bfing - better supply this time than with DS - but had a lactation consultant come today to discuss April's lazy feeding. She tends to sleep a lot at the breast. This is mainly due to the jaundice she still has a bit of. I have been expressing too. Basically while the LC was here, we tried bfing only and she settled beautifully. She said I had enough milk. No usual wind, discomfort, etc. Then wouldn't you know it, the next feed once the LC left, she acted right up again and instead of being asleep again within the hour, it took 2 and half hrs. I think she conked out then in sheer exhaustion. Looks like some interesting times ahead. Bfing is good and everything - but a lot of bl**dy hard work!! Especially this feeding every 2 hrs (sigh!). Still gotta give it a go if I can, I think.
Kirsten make the most of Riley sleeping after his feed - I sure hope it continues. April was sleeping a dream and now not so much. Formula is a great settler too - keeps them sleeping longer. Great to hear you're doing so well. Hope ur getting lots of support from ur family.
Jo - way to go with your Ruby. What a great little bub!! I have a sling too but have realised it is far too big - bub face is right near my tummy instead of my breast. Have to get that changed very quickly - hanging out to use the sling.
steph - loved your post, our bubs are true miracles that are so worth staring at.
lilcosmo - yeah, I'm loving napping with my bub too - best way to go in our bed!
