Deancey- YAY on being able to drive also- with Liams vomiting and being unsettled could this be reflux maybe??? Jordan was like that with the power vomits and was later diagnosed with GOR (gastro-osophegus (spl) reflux) Tiahna has silent reflux but is getting more and more spewy and also has colic. Also YAY on the expressing i got 180 mls my first express aswell but i have trouble picking the right time to express as i had same issue- no let down for next feed and Tiahna was screaming for a feed so i had to give her 1/2 the bottle that i expressed.
Just wondering how long can you refrigerate EBM and how long can you freeze it???
Sarah- YAY on the public breast feeds... there a bit daunting for me... Went out with a GF who never Breast fed her boy (doest like it) so i was quite nervous to feed Tiahna infront of her... I put it off and put it off and finally Tiahna was screaming for a feed so while walking around JB Hi Fi i fed her- couldnt even tell i was feeding... also never heard of those bottles. I'm using the tommy tippee ones ATM... Tiahna doesnt seem to like any of the skinny ones or the normal wide neck teats... Am going to buy some pigeon ones- there similar teats to the TT ones. MAM also sell bottle that are supposed to be good for combining breast and bottle like the other 2.
Mecil- Zali sound like Tiahna... She used to have an unsettled period from 6.30-7.30 but now its 9.30 and 11-12midnight. i give Tiahna "Infants friend (I.F)" it seems to help with the wind... i can try all different ways to burp her and sometimes she's just screaming in pain and cant get them up... within 1/2 huor to an hour of using the I.F she's either burped or passed heaps of wind and goes to sleep at bout 1.30am also trying to give her some at the earlier feed so its not all backed up... last night she was alsleep by 11.30 so we'll see if it works tonight.
Deancey- Your hubby sounds like a great help... My DH has been working crazy shifts the last week and a half so one day he's on night and the next day he could be on days so he's needing the sleep as much as me cos some shifts he's getting home at 2-3am and needing to start at 9-10 the next morning.
Sarah- i would probable express an extra just incase she's a bit more unsettle and hungry being away from you... best to have too much then not enough but thats just me i guess...
Any tips for expressing... when is the best time... i have a double pump so it only takes me 15-20 mins to do both sides at once but seems like when i do express Tiahna wakes up wanting a feed and i'm not getting a letdown and end up giving her the bottle i just expressed.
Any one heard from Sass????? i sent her a txt msg the other day but no reply and she hasnt been on here in a while... Hope Jayda is doing ok...
