How are u all going? I've been good, was expressing feeds for Harley but I've gotten bored with it and ended up getting the NUK electric pump but just didn't seem to do as good a job as the hand held one...So have put him back on the breast using nipple shields. He seems to be feeding well at the moment...and if he doesn't seem to be getting much, I can always get that fenugreek stuff to help my supply. I'm glad i've persisted with bf, at least for now things are good.
He is putting on weight nicely and most the time is a pretty content little boy. A couple of nights ago, we had a bad night where he wouldn't settle, was constantly on the breast and seemed to have wind which we tried getting up, took him awhile to finally bring it up but then still didn't seem to settle. I realised that earlier in the day I had been to the coffee club and my aunty had got me a cappuccino and I had a iced coffee, thinking it wouldn't hurt to much. But I think he had a bit of a caffeine overload...so now just not having any, don't want another night like it!
I do have questions for bf mothers, is there anything I should avoid to eat, I know foods that make us windy will make bubs windy... but anything else...I know not to feed him if i'm going to drink, thats when I express...
Just a big learning thing as last time I never breast fed.
Rob is back at work tomorrow, so big step for me being on my own with 2 kids! Hopefully I will be fine. I have many ppl to talk to on the phone if needed and if my neighbour is home she is there for some company.
Well Harley is waking up so better go feed him! Will be back later hopefully for personals but big hellos to u all and hope u are all well and same with ur beautiful bubs!
