Hi Everyone,
Gosh this thread moves quickly, it is hard to keep up.
I am breastfeeding Francis and gee he's a greedy guts...it is good now that he has woken up more because now he is getting the hind milk and his no. 2's are no longer green as a result. So at least I know he is getting a better feed. I am having an attachment issue with him still, but I forget that he is only learning and because I have been breast feeding for quite awhile I forget that he is a newborn and I tend to just throw my breast at him and expect him to know what to do.
It can be a little frustrating in public when I am trying to put him on quickly and he is still quite clumsy - I just hate the looks you still get though from exposing your breast in public, some people can be quite annoying.
Other than that he is doing great - I don't visit the Health Nurse with Francis - I have become slack. I just weigh him at the chemist I go there enough for the other boys for ventolin etc. It has been a bad cold season here in brissy, especially these past few weeks. So the chemist has become my second home again!!!
Francis is also suffering 'ugly baby syndrome' at the moment, with the millia and the toxic eurytherma (sp?) so he is all splotchy and red on his face. Bit annoyed because with my third son I couldn't have newborn photos done because the jaundice was so bad his eyes were yellow so I had to hold off for quite a few weeks and with Francis I will have to wait until his spots clear up. Although the studio ladies (at the shopping centre) told me they could touch it up with makeup (yeah I don't think so). I hate how they jump on everyone with a pram at the shops
Well I better get going!!!
hugs
Karen
