Hello to all the new girls that have posted since my last post! I promise I'll get to know all your names and bub's names before too long!

DS and I are doing well, feeling SO much better emotionally this week it's unbelievable. All anxiety and crying gone thank god! Hate feeling that way, it's so awful.

Misty - totally agree that while you're more confident with the second bub, it sure isn't easy! My DS and DD are also very different and I'm finding he needs lots more cuddles and contact than she did at this age. He was very unsettled the first week and it felt like I held him the whole time, this week he's been much better but again today, he's Velcro boy! Feel like I haven't put him down all day. He's having a nice big sleep now thank god.

We saw our MCHN for our last home visit this morning and I am very pleased to say my chubby bubby has put on another 380g, so that's 680g in two weeks! Very relieved to see that at least our b'feeding is going well so far. Things got off to a rocky start with DD and while I did persevere and fed her till 16 months, it's a stress that I wanted to avoid this time.

Hoody - you are so right about it sometimes coming down to the baby with b'feeding. DD had a few attachment issues early on and my nipples were so grazed and sore for a few weeks and feeding was very painful initially. We got through that then had a bit of a breast refusal issue at about 4 weeks. DS seems to have taken to it like a natural though! No problems at all so far. I did have a small blister on one of my nipples in the hospital but it wasn't too bad and healed within a day.

Looking forward to more November mums joining in as more babies are born! I'm sure everyone is finding it hard to find the time to post too with such little babies atm.
