Sorry guys, haven't even had time to read through all the posts and catch up but just wanted to let you know that everything went well with the LC and hopefully we're on the road to improving my right boob problems. The night before I saw the LC I noticed quite a few 'grazes' on my nipple and by the time she came, they were cut and bleeding, just to add to the pain!! It's definitely an attachment problem, so we worked on a few alternatives. Crazy how he can attach perfectly on the left side but not on the right. Anyway, I have to rest the nipple for a few days, so I've hired an electric breast pump and am expressing from the right side and still feeding on the left. Its working ok but it's just such a pain to have to sit down and feed, then express. It's so time consuming, hence why I haven't had time to catch up on everything.
Other than that, all is going pretty good. I'm still quite tired but generally we're getting quite a bit of sleep, so I can't complain. Luke's been having a bit of a whinge lately but still settles quite well - thank god for the dummy - we're big fans of it over here but will try and get rid of it by 6 months - we'll see how we go!!!
Also had an appointment with the health clinic nurse - hmm, might of already told you that but he weights 4.6kg already!!
Am going to try and drive this weekend too - I'm sick of being stuck at home!! If I had an automatic car, I'd be in it by now but with the manual, I've been a little more hesitant. Must go, will try and keep up soon, I promise!!!
Kelly, glad things are working out with the BFing hun! Though I hear you on the expressing being hard work! I'm only doing it during the day now, but it does take up alot of time! We love the dummy too I'm planning on giving it a year....but I bet it ends up being more LOL. As a dental nurse, I say better a dummy than a thumb!
Good luck tomorrow Kristen, for a big increase!
Ash, huge huge hugs hun. We're all here for you so please come and vent when you need to. I hope you're all feeling better soon, you're really doing it tough ATM.
WTG Sarah, I'm so glad you got to see the specialist! Sounds like you're really on the right track
God I need some sleep! Here's hoping we all get some tonight.....
