Hello Ladies

Welcome Abb34, congrats on the birth of your little girl. I expressed 20ml the other night and was stoked! I don't know how much bub drinks, I guess 20ml wouldn't touch the sides, but not really sure. Even if your DP gave bub the 40ml and you did the top ups on your breast that would still be nice?? Abb34 have you tried lansinoh for the nipples, it makes them feel alot better, just apply after each feed and it really soothes them, mine are getting much better now.

Deancey I feel sorry for you my dear! I only got 4 hours the other night as I ate chorizo sausage which gave bub REALLY BAD WIND so I feel your pain on missing out on sleep. Try to get a snooze in later today... good luck with that.

My list of what not to eat is getting alot bigger, now adding Chorizo Sausage to the list and blue cheese, both give bub excruciating pain.... poor little bugger, which means I get no sleep and DH too as we live in a 1 bedroom apartment.

hannahfroodoo I don't know how you do it, I had to feed bub while I was out and took 45mins, and I got frustrated at that, so an 1.5hr in the mothers room would have driven me crazy. Yay on figuring out what was upsetting your little one though! That is awesome that your girls are putting on so much weight too.

How often are you all weighing your babies?? I have only had Zali weighed once at her 10day check up. The chemist down the road has a nurse who comes along every thursday so maybe I should make that a regular day trip to get her checked out.

Having a nice relaxing day today after my brother, SIL & their 2 little kids 6 & 4 visited yesterday, very hectic with 2 little ones in our little apartment. Lucky Zali is a heavy sleeper. I did the vacuuming the other day while she was asleep and she did not even flinch. YAY!!

Getting off here now to hang up another load of washing. How much of that do you go through? It seems like I have at least 2 loads every day....

Have a lovely weekend.

Cheers Mecil
