Hi everyone,
Olive and I shopping with my mum and 2 sisters today as k-mart opened near our town today . It was CRAZY, people everywhere, they expected 15000 and I reckon it would've been close! Olive was very well behaved though which is just as well cause her mother loves to shop. There were some great bargins but i'm finding it hard not to buy every cute thing I see. It was also interesting to see what it looked like inside a parents room, this one was very fancy. Speaking of finaces and shopping is anyone else kindof suprised how little dss payments are? I was expecting a bit more, oh well every bit helps.
When I was giving Olive formula for 1-2 feeds a day my pharmacist who also has a baby told me that karicare gold is the best as it has the most omega-3 and nutrients. I suppose it depends on what your baby will take though. In regard to expressing I started out not getting very much at all in the beginning but then I brought a good pump and everything changed. I started with an Advent one then brought a Tommy Tippee pump and it's way better, I started being able to get a full 125ml bottle. I think the more you do it the better you get as well (I was pretty much exclusively expressing for 2wks) and it helps if you have a shower first to help with let down.
I can't believe Olive will be 6wks tomorrow, how time flies when your a mummy!
