Katones: I feel the same as you. I feel really alone because I have no family anywhere near me. I am sick with gastro and I don't have any energy but Jude is crying all day and just wants to comfort suckle, it's the only way he'll relax. Actually, he's having a catnap right now which is the only reason I have any downtime, but he weed and vomitted all over my bed so I had to wash the sheets, and I had to let him bawl and scream while I did that so I felt terrible and like I am the worst mother in the world because I don't know why he's crying. So I cried and rubbed his tummy because I didn't know what else to do, then he gave up in the end and fell asleep.
Itsme: I finally just got dressed, mainly because I was tired of being covered in vomit. Not all babies take dummies, some won't drink from bottles either. Does Maya really not like a car drive? That's one trick we have as a final straw to get Jude settled, but if he's hungry the car trip becomes hell.
You are all right about a 6-week growth spurt. When we took Jude to the Paediatrician he was weighed. Before this week he gained around 200-220g a week, but last week he gained 400g. It is tiring and it's really really hard. I also can't help lamenting that my once-perky perfect breasts are now saggy sacks covered in purple stretch marks. I feel like a cow.
Jude slept wonderfully last night, a big change from the night before (5 hours of sleep then another 5 hours of sleep), but I had terrible insomnia from 1am all night. Why????

Woohoo.. Maya has now been asleep for 70 minutes! The problem is I feel like I can't get much done with her next to me. I can't even get dressed at the moment. Might have to get dressed straight after the next feed because I really would love to get out and go for a walk and don't really feel like going around in my PJs!
kuraiza - Ohh I hope you're feeling better soon! Yeah Maya does like the car as long as it's moving. As soon as I stop she screams. And whenever I have her in the car I swear I stop at every single red light and get caught in horrible traffic so she spends a lot of time screaming! Hmm.. or it probably was always like that and I just didn't notice it before!
I'm currently looking online at places to move to, so that I'll be closer to family and friends! But I don't know when I would have the time to look at anything, pack and move! I think moving would be so hard right now, but I am really lonely where we currently live and want to be closer to friends and family so that I have company plus help!
i didn't really take into account my medication i am on...it can cause LOW supply of milk in breastfeeding mums...and i didn't think about it til now, and just researched it abit more. nothing i can do about the low supply (meds will keep it low) i can't get back into see my specialist until next month...
itsme - where are ur friends and family? come with me.. im moving to QLD next year, tho its to get away from all my friends and familY! lol tho im hanging out to meet some BB queenslanders!
I have just rung my GP and he said that fenugreek WON'T increase my supply with the meds i am on...so shall just soldier on.. and supplement if i have to
I'm a BB qlder. Actually I'm a relocated Sydney-sider. I don't really know diddly-squat about QLD.
It sounds like we're all having similar days today. it's stinking hot here, is it hot elsewhere? Lucky for me my husband came home early from work and he's like a miracle worker with Jude, can soothe him easily where as I struggle to soothe him unless he's attached to my chest.
What format does Fenugreek come in? Is it pills or tea?
hollye is moving to brisbane to live near me lol - come on tell the truth you know you are lol!
itsme. I moved house when ashley was 3 months. it is actually easier then when they are older(we moved again at 7 months) - get yourself a sling or carrier for the cleaning and it will be easy !
Kat - perhaps just express more often to increase naturally!
