Pink: Well done for increasing your supply....a bit is better than nothing. Motilium will work great! I had it with Jayden and I was having to express at least 100ml before I could feed him in the mornings (he slept through from 7wks). Was the Dr ok with prescribing it? Dr's here were very reluctant to give it to me as producing milk is a side effect not what it is prescribed for. 1 Dr tried to tell me it will go through to the baby and may harm him, I told her I'd done my research there was no evidence of doing any harm to mum or bub and the LC had recommended it and I'm sure she knows. Good luck with it anyway! Ava is just beautiful!!! I love the pro shot!! Happy 1 month for yesterday Ava!!
Mez: Thanks Mez....its amazing how fast they grow up, I had a few ppl say she looked a couple of mths old wearing that hoodie. Thats fantastic that Izzy is sleeping longer for you.
Kell: Thats great you have your MIL there to help out. Maybe you can keep Jesse in his bed now if he is associating sick with the cot (thats if you want him in a bed now of course). When they are sick you just give them what they will eat and keep down. Jayden kept asking for juice yesterday and a bottle...but he is still eating. He was at SIL#1's yesterday and when I picked him up he had a temp of 39.1, took him straight hom and gave him Dymadon then SIL#1 (she came home with me) took his temp again and it was 40.2 so he had a bath which brough his temp back down, but its pretty scary when they are getting high temps like that! I wanted 3 kids too but seriously thinking 2 is plenty, Chris doesn't want anymore anyway so its an easy decision. Thats great Keira is doing so well!
back Mel....we missed you!! PND has crossed my mind a lot too, but I don't think it is I think its just adjusting to a new situation. Keep an eye on it though and get help if you even slightly think you need it and I am always here.
ThePixie: YAY for Beth being good when you were out! Both Jayden and Ashlea were always good when we were out Ashlea still is of course but Jayden is getting to be a bit of a handful (to put it nicely ). I hope you cold doesn't take hold!!
Tenny: Glad you worked out what you were feeling, I could imagine it would be hard when Elijah is so independant then all of a sudden you have to get used to doing everything for someone again. I found it hard to dress Ashlea at first cause I'm used to Jayden helping like putting his own arm through the hole etc, then there is this tiny little person that doesn't know to do that. I mentioned the other day about bleeding, I'm still bleeding a bit after delivery but it had stopped then started again. I asked the LC about if it could be AF (thinking thats why Ash refused to feed) she said it was too early and because I am B/F it should stay away. I didn't get AF back until I completely stopped B/F Jayden...hopefully that happens this time too.
Tasia: Do you pay pay any attention to DH when he is nasty to you? I ignore Chris most of the time...it gets easier to do after a while haha. It should be like that though hey? Bugger at getting AF back
My niece is getting a tattoo today, I'm going with her so I hope I don't feel the need to get another one!! Nothing else planned, I'll take J's temp when he wakes up and plan my day from that.
Ashlea's appt went well...She gained 190g so she is now 4250g. I don't have another appt now for 2 weeks (unless something happens again!) I have a really badly cracked nipple though, it is so painful!! I have bought hydrogel breast pads as they are meant to help soothe and heal so we'll see how it goes. For those who are breastfeeding, how often does your baby poo? Ashlea had gone 6 days then 3 days then 2 days but as each day goes on she gets more and more distressed after her 8.30/9.30pm feed. So day 1 she is fine, day 2 she is a little distress and unsettled after then feed, day 3 she is very distressed and unsettled for at least 1.5-2hrs after the feed then the next day she does a poo and she is fine again. LC suggested I massage her bottom hole....but I really don't want to do that. I am massaging her tummy and doing leg excerises which is meant to help which maybe it is seen as she has gone from 6days between to 2 days.
Well I think this post is long enough haha, I better get in the shower before J wakes up, I better try to put A back to sleep too!
