my secret is.. gene's.. lol.. i was a great baby and so was DP thats all i can think of.
This not BFing thing is really getting to me.. im still expressing coz my supple has gone huge and im in so much pain from it. I want to BF so bad Im really at a loss.. its always on my mind.. i cry about Bfing and i cry about not Bfing. Also i think she has thrush in her mouth.. she has little white lump on the inside of her mouth.. is this thrush? what can i do it fix it? is it hurting her?
Hello everyone!!!.. well.. I am going to the bottle.. I cant do anymore to feed her when I have well NO milk.. due to stress etc.. I have gone to lactation lady here in Canada and said i cant do anythign when stressed... and to reduce stress is impossible.. with my parents hosue etc..
I feel ok with this decision as i have given her 8 weeks of all i can do!
how is everyone else doing??/ I have lost 20kg.. so happy happy!
ok my decision has been made. I had a big talk last night with DP and this is what we are going to do. Im going to express 1-3 times a day so she can have 1-3 BM bottles a day. The rest will be formula and once or twice a week i will try and re attach her to the breast. We are going to take tit nice and slow and hopefully if my supply favours me i will be able to wean her gradually off the bottle and formula all together. I feel much more at peace with this decision coz she is still getting full feeds from my breastmilk. hope that makes sense.
didi - 8 weeks is fannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnntastic! u go girl! whats the weather in canada? freezing here even tho its summer in about a week! Are u ever coming back? im going to geelong area ( i think thats where ur from) in december..
Happy One Month Mia (sorry its late)
wow Hollye that went so fast - i was only thinking today that Bianca is one mth old in 2days! how fast does it go!!!!!!
and im glad u are finally happy with ur decision about breastfeeding and bottle feeding!
didi - you know going to Canada would be a dream come true for me - i have made DH promise to take me to Canada/Alaska for my 30th, and i sooooooo can't wait!
Good work on losing 20kgs! i have lost 11kgs since having Bianca (without even trying) - but it seems to have come to a stop now! i wanna be a Yummy Mummy, so my plan is to lose at least another 5kgs and i will be happy!
Does anyone else miss being pregnant? i really do and i never thought i would! i went into a baby shop yesterday and everywhere i looked was pregnant woman and it made me feel sad for some reason!
I think im also regretting my labour - i keep thinking about it and wishing that i hadn't had the epi and that i had of took the time too enjoy it more (easier said than done at the time tho i guess)
Gosh im still a bag of mixed emotions and hormones - when will it stop?
Hi everyone - quick one here, Im on stupid dial up and we pay for downloads etc so Im trying not to spend too much time on here!
We are great - James is doing super dooper well! He is such a big boy, so many people think he is older than 5 weeks because he is over 5kgs and so long! He is sleeping really well (sorry ladies) Im only up once a night which makes my days so much easier to cope with 2 of them and Izzy is pretty demanding herself right now. We had 2 kids parties this weekend, one 1st birthday and one naming day/blessing so we are pretty tired but it was nice to get out and about to show off our lttle guy.
Right Im off - MG tomorrow so that should be fun! Will post before and after pics once I have boradband back on the 1st of our kitchen that DH is reno'ing! Big hugs to you all and to your gorgeous bubs!!
Hi all, just a quick one had a rough night in the sleep department last night due to both Paige (wouldn't go to sleep till 1am and stirring through the night) and then Angus (waking for a feed at 1:30am and not resettling till 3am) so DH and I are resembling Zombies today and both of them are still resisting sleep today have finally managed to get them both of to sleep but don't know for how long????
hope everyone else is well, one more day until DH goes back to work....sob!!!!
love to all Allie xxxxx
