Hey all it depends on the suck if she sucks my finger hard I feed her but usually it's a soft half suck and her younger is different and she's asleep after 20sec where as if she's hungry she will keep going and not fall asleep, also her last weight gain was really great so I'm not worried about that Her last gain was 455g in 2 weeks
I have also noticed alot less big vomits since I stop comfort feeding and I think her body is trained for 3-4hr durind the day
Heavenly - I'm not as afraid to use a finger or dummy instead of comfort feeding for an hour, too; I recently read my Breastfeeding Naturally book and in it there is a sentence in the Oversupply section that says a way to deal with oversupply is to consider a dummy...now, if only they had that in the edition I read when DS was born!! Argh! I'm convinced that's why my supply isn't as ridiculous this time. DD is on a dummy right now cos I just gave her a huge feed and when it goes in her mouth her eyes drop. So, yep, sounds like you're on a winner with that finger!
Better night last considering DD had her vaccinations yesterday! DS was a lot quieter coming into our room last night, so that helped keep the Miss asleep.
Goat farm today, got a Christmas tree and now I'm at home after vacating for an inspection.
Loving this rain, too!
hi all, sounds like everyones doing well, a few dramas but lots of bubs getting into routines and putting on weight.
cam that weight gain sounds fine for a bf bub, ur doing a great job good on u. i didnt realise you were circumsising either, how was that for u? i would have been so scared if it was my bub, just so worried about the pain... not that he'll remember it anyway, but i can imagine u were a bit worried.
oz ur bubba is such a good girl!
maya sounds like things are getting better, but still a rough trot for you. hope the offers are good ones and u can find something soon.
serenity sounds like shes doing all the right things, thats great to hear. hope her weight gain continues
erybery how are you, how is your dd?
afm sos is the best thing ive ever done, i wish i could find the lady who wrote it and give her a big old smooch to say thank you. the first day and a half was hard, getting dd out of her snack feeding habit, but after that shes has been great, its like she read the book too! this week she is a bit unsettled as i have had her in and out of her routine with our weekend away, and its week 8 so im expecting it to continue as ive heard this is a killer week. but she is giving me 6-8 hrs a night and having daytime sleeps so i can get the housework done. it is absolute heaven. i know there will be nights she wont do it and we will run into probs with teething, and sickness and clingyness and things, but if i can get a fedw good nights a week im happy. i havent had a bad night yet since i put her on it, fingers crossed touch wood etc etc that this keeps going and i dont jinx myself.
anyway got housework to do while dd has a nap. hope everyones well
Hugs to YOU LJ Stick with your boy (as if you wouldn't anyway!) and you'll both come out on top for it - just give it up to him, it won't be forever and when you look back you'll realise this time was only a matter of months, not the years following where things weren't as intense. Even though different challenges arise, those first few learning curve months are packed with hormones, emotions, physically draining attention-giving, not enough nurturing from your partner - in many cases, not all, though it's also true for me - and your little person can't even say the words to form a "thank you". It's the 'wins' that carried me through, especially through the tongue tie and establishing BFing after the TT snip. Hang onto your 'wins' cos sometimes they're all you have!!
yay Serenity weighed 3.3kg today thats a gain of 485g in 13 days so im happy cos it means i can relax and not worry that shes puking up all her food, and shes moved up to 0000 full body suits but 00000 for the legless ones still, shes getting so big now
