Well.. now my left boob is blocked!! And my right boob's supply diminished when it was blocked Friday to Saturday and still hasn't recovered. I am madly trying to unblock my left boob but nothing is working. And Maya keeps sucking on it for a few seconds and pulling off cos nothing is coming out and that's really hurting my nipple! So I'm back to giving her some EBM and formula because I don't have enough milk for her! I also wonder if I'm on the road to losing my supply. And I'm so sad about that. I know some of you have been through this too. I really don't want to give up b/f but it just seems so hard at the moment. I thought I was passed all the hard parts and was on the home straight to b/f as long as I wanted to. So this has taken me by surprise. Though now looking back I think b/f hasn't been working for a while but I didn't realise cos Maya just never complains about being hungry! I think my supply is really low because she hasn't been eating well for a long time now but I didn't notice till now.
amy - Have fun in Sydney. I know what you mean about wanting your mum around. I am hoping we find somewhere to live soon so that I can move closer to my mum.
katones - Jack sounds gorgeous.
Sami - I'm glad your let downs have returned. Now if I could just find mine... I don't think Maya complains when she's hungry and I've only just learnt that now. I had her weighed again today and she has lost weight. But yeah maybe it's a uti so we'll get that ruled out.
belfie - When I read your post I thought you said that X is walking! Then read back and realised you said waking!
Well I am about to log off for my holiday...I am packed orgaised and ready to go!!
Taxi is arriving at a really really early hour so I am off to get some sleep in before the day kicks off.
See ya when I get back gals, Behave while I am gone!!
Well, we have poo!!! hehe imagine being so excited about it - there was so much of it - thank goodness for those brilliant Aldi nappies they contained it all - but it did evacuate the kids from the loungeroom outside as gee whiz it was soooooo stinky. Yesterday he didnt have any rice cereal either - so I am going to leave the rice cereal alone from here on in!!!
AND after the poo escapades of the last week - Zander fed at 6.30 - poo'd, didnt want a bedtime top-up - went to bed, stirred sometime early morning and I gave him a dummy - and then woke at 6.45am so i think it is all related and hope not some coincidence - the next few days will tell, i will keep him off everything to see what happens first .....
Tanya - aww hun, thats no good Maya has lost weight - you are doing the right thing, you cant be a good mummy if you are not happy and healthy either so you look after yourself, try to go with the flow and do what you need to do, whether it be bottle or breast, you have done a great job
katones - men!!!does your DH sleep soundly?? no difference then if in your room or 5 metres away lol.
belfie - so, stinky, how's things with you?
georgi - see how much I like talking about poo, adn it is easy to type too - I just saw we posted at the same time in the solids thread
Giselle and I (oh, and Zander) are off to do some errands - be back later!!
SamiH..it doesn't matter now what DH says!!! he IS going in his on room
we haven't had a propper poo for 3/4 days now..i am scared!!!!!
we have movement!!!! jack is moving around the loungeroom....on his back!!!and is trying ever so hard to get up on his knees/hands..but i say he is too heavy!!! lol
omg.. I need a house! we are in a one bedroom unit ffs!!!!!!!!!
Mia also needs her own room, everytime we move in bed, it wakes her up!!!!!!!!!! argh!
Mia is doing an odd thing atm.. she will be on her tummy then get on her knees and then get on her feet. so imagine he head planted to the ground, feet on ground, bum up in the air, legs straight.. oh its a sight.
