Morning!! (just, I'd better hurry and finish this before it's arvo)
Well, I tried my expresser last night, expressed about 25ml from each boob before I got bored...
Hey, here's my quandry: I want to express from my always full right boob for comfort...but if I keep expressing from it, won't it keep making more milk than I need and therefore I'll always have that problem and then keep needing to express? Do you know what I mean?
Belle, unless you are deliberately making things difficult, or sticking pins into Julia, or trying to sell her on ebay (I fantasised about putting Riv in the rubbish bin earlier - only for a split second though); then you are not a bad mum!
I fret about these sort of things too, what if he's not getting enough, what if a dummy wrecks his teeth, what if...and Rans says 'how many kids die from having to drink formula or have braces'? Just look at it in perspective honey, is she alive and mostly (or occasionally will do) content? Will she even remember anything about this? Of course you do the best you can for her, and what more could anyone expect? Hugs mate, I bet you do a great job, and really what does a baby care about b/feeding vs formula as long as they get fed and snuggled
Hope your boobs settle Chrissy!
Oh Ambz, yay for a settled baby, Rans gave Riv his first massage last night, so cute...made for a peaceful baby for awhile
Mum ended up buying the rocker, so Riv's in it at the moment and...silence! (There was sqwaking at first and I thought OH NO it's not going to work, but then I popped the dummy in too and...ta daaa!)
Actually, better go have a shower before he unsettles himself...and some more food, man I can't believe how hungry I get!
Take care girls xo
ETA: So Caddie, you reckon that for my right boob I should just express til it doesn't feel like it'll pop and then stop, and that should decrease my supply?
