Rebecca - Pretty much I just layed on my back and put Avaleigh's tummy against my tummy. Latching on was a little more difficult but I just lifted Avaleigh's body up and then back down to get her to latch on - she is pretty good at latching on by herself!! I first had her body in a straight line with mine but found I was supporting her tummy and probably squashing the lil thing! So I moved her so she was kinda diagonal across my body, this way I just had to support her head cause as she got sleepy, her head was pulling my nipple down!
I got some really good burps out of Avaleigh feeding her that way, but they were followed by her milk!! So it was kinda messy and she still came off screaming but she has been asleep now for 2 hrs! Not to most settled sleep as she keeps on stirring but she is getting some rest.
Jem - yeh I found myself a bit down yesterday and was nearly in tears but I called my mum up and spoke to her and felt better. I jsut got to remember that if I am down then I have to talk to someone or even just leave Avaleigh with my mum so I can have a bit of time to myself. And yes, we have been using the magic juice. She's been on it for 2 weeks I think and it has helped with the burping and I hope that the nice peppermint flavour hopes settle her tummy too.
Sportychick - Welcome to the thread!!
Well I have gotten my dinner ready for tonight. We are having chicken with chese and ham in the middle with potato bake. I've decided that it would be best for us if I made dinner that could be prepared earlier and then just thrown in the oven when we were ready to eat cause I got no idea how the evenings are going to be.
How's everyone's tummy going??? I was laying on the floor yesterday and poking my tummy and it is soooo flabby! And then Jason came over and starting poking me and making my belly wobble and I laughed sooo hard!! And the fact that my bely was wobbling made me laugh even more!!
Jason is feeling pretty sorry for himself because he is sick and he doesnt want to go any where near Avaleigh. He was watching me earlier while I was holding Avaleigh after a feed and he said he wishes he could hold her!! I said, YES I wish you could too!
