Well done to all of you ladies who are taking your bubbas to see movies, I never would of thought of taking Leila but seems like it wold actually be fine to take a newborn.
Stevie, awesome news about the lactation consultant and saying goodbye to nipple shields! It's a shame you didn't get more help in hospital. I found the bf assistance I got in hospital was fantastic, every midwife on shift would come over and spend a good amount of time with me making sure I had Leila attached properly it was such a wonderful help.
Jellybean I haven't read that poem yet as everyone has said it brings tears to their eyes and I'm feeling a little delicate so might wait until I think I can handle it!!
LJ well done on Williams weight gain I haven't been on since you posted. As I said in one of my earlier posts re weight gain it sounds like all of our little ones are doing fantastic and it's so wonderful to read about the great progress they are all making.
Bub4me Welcome!! It's great to have another mummy join our group Sounds like little Ava is a real little treasure.
Rach75 - great to hear that your milk is back! Hope the swelling goes down soon.
Rach221 - hope Evangeline sleeps better today
AFM well these past few days have bought about a real transformation in my little Leila. Her personality is getting more defined every day. She smiles all the time now and it is so beautiful!! She's so much more alert and takes everything in, she's becomming interested in toys that rattle etc and loves kicking around on her play mat with no nappy on - so cute! AND best of all...... she's sleeping!!!!!! :she sleeps well during the day and night now. the last few nights she's slept from around 9:30pm - 2am then has a feed and is back down until around 5ish, up for another feed then back down until around 8:30am. OMG I cannot express how wonderful this is after weeks of restlessness and totally unpredictable sleep cycles.
Oh, and yesterday we took Leila to get photo's with Santa! They are so adorable, she was so well behaved. She didn't smile unfortunately, which I didn't expect she would as at 4 weeks they certainly don't smile on cue, but she was very happy and content being cuddled by Santa, I'm so proud of her!
