Sez - You poor thing, how awful!! I always worry about things like that as Luke is quite a 'sicky' baby too. I was assured by many of the midwifes though that babies can't choke on their own vomit, even if they're lying on their back when they do it. It is quite distressing though. Luke did a massive vomit the other night that came out of his nose and mouth too - I just felt so sorry for the poor little thing. Take care.
Speaking of scares, Luke scared the cr*p out of me the other day. You know how they all have their funny little twitches that they do while their asleep, well usually I think it's really cute but the other day, after a feed, I held him a bit longer than usual and let him fall asleep on me while watching TV (I don't usually do that, he normally goes straight to bed but I think I just needed the cuddle). Anyway, he started the twitching, which is fine and doesn't worry me, however the twitching seemed to change and I was sure he was having a fit. Of course, my first reaction was to panic and in the process I scared DH half to dealth and couldn't even tell him what was happening. I was just sitting there crying, thinking he was having some sort of fit. Anyway, it wasn't a fit, of course, it was just a few twitches. I was so angry with myself for getting so worked up - what if something serious really does happen, I've just proven to myself that I won't cope with it. So much for all the first aid training that I've done!!!
Mel - Good on you for feeding in Big W!!! With all my excess milk issues, there's no way I could do that without milk squirting all over the place, I'm so jealous!! Looking forward to hearing from you again - sounds like you have an interesting story to tell???
Kristen & Danni - You're both so lucky to have your partners home with you for so long - DH has only been able to take two weeks off (starting from when we got home), so I've only got one week to go!! I'm so worried about having to do everything, DH has been amazing!!!! I'm sure all will be fine though!!
Sorry, that's about all the time I have for personals atm - very poor attempt, I know. I promise I'll get better eventually!!
Well, I'm still having a few feeding problems. My milk is literally squirting out everywhere now, it's so messy trying to feed. And poor Luke nearly drowns!! My right nipple is still KILLING me too. The nipple shield was working wonders but now I'm getting a little rash on my boob, from where the nipple shield sits, so I'm trying not to use it. The pain though is still really intense when Luke feeds on that side. I'm sure he's latching on correctly and my nipple doesn't look really cracked or sore but man it hurts. I don't know what else to do and am starting to dread feeding on that side. The other side is perfect though - how can that be?? If only they were both like that, all would be great - always the way. I've got the health nurse out for a visit tomorrow afternoon, so I'll see what she has to say - hopefully she comes when Luke needs to be fed so I can make sure he on properly!!
Hmm, that's another long post from me - sorry guys, I'll leave it there for now!! Hope all is well. I'm feeling a little light headed today - don't think I'm eating enough or drinking enough water - must change that!!!
