Relactating is definitely a possibility hun - the ABA can give you heaps of info and I would post in the general breastfeeding section as well. Basically you let bub attach and suckle frequently to stimulate supply and there are other things as well. Good luck if that is what you decide!
Hi everyone - Up at the pump so thought I would say hello.
Olive is getting a tooth! Her cheek was really red last night and she has been drooling and sucking on her fist so had a look before she went to bed and she has a big white spot on her gum. How long will it take to come through? I hope it doesn't cause more BF problems and while it's exciting my girl is growing up far to quickly.
Whats everyone doing for the long weekend?
DH is working saturday so i'm going to meet one of my sisters and her kids with my mum and helping her find a dress for our younger sisters wedding. I need to get some shoes and a new black bra to wear and some baby shoes for Olive as well so should be a nice day out, I love shopping. On monday will probably listen to jjj hottest 100 only it will be sober this year.
My MIL is coming over to see us and do some yard work today which is lovely of her. She is a teacher so is getting a bit bored I think and is just one of those people always on the go. She cleaned my windows for me last fortnight. I was originally a bit funny about it but have learnt to accept more help since having a baby and it makes her feel good I think plus DH is working 6 days and gets up at 2:45am so is pretty tired come the weekend. MIL is so excited about babysitting for my sisters wedding but i'm not. It will only be for 4hrs though while we go to the reception and she'll be much happier at home and will help prepare me for when I go back to work.
Have a great one ladies.
OM - Mia's first tooth has been sitting there for about 2 weeks now. Her cheeks are getting real red but it doesnt seem to want to make an apperance. She very frustrated by it. So it could sit there for months..
Hollye - i was reading a post a few weeks ago about re-lactating cause i was thinking of giving it a go - is that weird????? apparently u can do it but it takes a long time for it too happen - and u can get medication from your doc to get things started again - do u have any milk left? can u squeeze a drop out at all - i was able to until about 2wks ago now i have nothing
Tan - Hubby gets back today - are u excited???? where is his flight now?
Olivesmummy - i got a few weddings comming up this year but im taking B along with me - i still cant leave her with anyone - i was thinking of maybe leaving her with my parents while DH and i go have dinner or something on valentines day but nope i know i just cant do it! wish i could tho - a little break would be nice!
How is everyone else going?
Bianca has slept thru EVERY night so far this week - she goes to be around 2000/2030ish and wakes up between 0500-0600!!! how awesome is that?!
Hollye I've heard that you can relactate, I hope you can get lots of info and it will help you, like Tan said ABA would be a great place to get the info.
Tan no he doesn't have a flat spot luckily, I keep trying to move his head especially when he's awake, he gets tummy time and sits on my lap just so that he doesn't rest on it to much.
HJ that's great that B is starting to sleep through, hopefully she will keep it up and give you some much needed rest. You should check into the relactating as well it couldn't hurt.
OM her tooth could be just moving around it may come out in days or months you just never know.
Leigh big , maybe she's just going through a fussy stage, hopefully she will stop the fussing at the bottle soon.
Not much going on here, have got everything for the boys to go back to school, just have to cover their books.
Amanda - i found out after i gave up BFing that B has a short fenulum - hence why i had soooo much trouble with her BFing - no one told me this at the time mind you!
The pead didnt even pick it up at her 6wks check up - and if he did than he ignored it - cause apparently according to my gp and the nurse at the chemist they are very common and usually fixes itself! So im not even sure we would be able to BF, as much as i want to give it another go, i felt so bad and felt like such a failure for not being able to do it first time round, if i still cant do it than it may just make me feel even worse, plus she has been on the bottle for so long now, i doubt she would be a happy baby going back to the boob, when the bottle is so easy for her!
DH is back! SO nice to have him home finally! Off to do some stuff while all three kids are in bed! Back later if I can. I won't be around BB much anymore - long story but I spend way too much time on here and invest too much time and energy that could be better spent elsewhere. Will still pop in though - maybe just once a day or so instead of a million times a day!
