Hello ladies,

Loving hearing about your gorgeous little bubba's and how everyone is settling in!

Miss P seems to be getting the hang of day vs. night - this makes me VERY happy! She wakes for a BF at around 2am most nights and then goes back to sleep until somewhere between 6 and 8am. We are BF and comp feeding with formula or EBM as I have had two breast reduction surgeries and I don't have a great enough supply for Miss P. I am taking motilium to boost my supply and I definitely have more milk than I had with my last bub. Miss P loves a BF and I am hoping that we can continue to have a BF relationship... how long it lasts depends entirely on Miss P! My DD1 was a small baby and poor feeder (and I had no idea what I was doing!) and DS weaned at 3 months when I stopped producing any milk at all. Miss P is an amazing feeder and has no problems feeding from both breast and bottle. She has a definite preference for the breast - I have tasted formula and I am not surprised!

I have a Medela Swing electric pump and i love it! Much better than the manual pump I used last time.

purplepixie, I will BF Miss P just about anywhere. I do like to be discreet and am not one for flashing my boob around! I have found that a singlet top in a stretchy fabric can be pulled down under my boob, then a loose style t-shirt over the top is pulled up (you can use the loose t-shirt to cover your boob/bub's head while attaching and no one sees anything). Target has good long line singlets with lots of stretch and I have some good loose t's from Sussan's. Don't know if that makes sense?? It works for us, but I have found it much easier this time than with DS as Miss P will latch on to a nipple which is waved in her general direction without any assistance so there is no stuffing about in public trying to attach!

Kids have been out swimming with DH but have just come inside. Better go and shower them!

Hope you are all well and enjoying this special time!
