MD, E's gorgeous!
sherie, thanks for the activite tip...will give it a try. seeing as i've got max on the bb anyway, might as well try to give her as much breast milk as i can produce. have fun with the new car. still haven't bought one yet ourselves...after all the car window shopping...dp had to take the bus to work on monday since we needed the car to go to the lc appt (mil drove). since i'm not supposed to be driving for 4-6 weeks anyway, there really is no rush. i think he'll get pressured to buying one when i'm allowed to drive again and he'd have to take the bus regularly. although i don't mind scheduling car use as well.
queenie, sounds like things are happening...although i wouldn't take what i say to the bank seeing as nothing happened for me. and in saying that, i think that you should keep active since we're supposed to keep active through the whole labour...walk around a lot.
renee, good on you for working. and i think 3 calls isn't too much....i would've been on the phone more.![]()
thanks everyone for the encouragement on bfeeding. seeing the lc did help i think. my mil says the same thing...she thinks that she's given me reassurance which i needed...which i didn't even know i needed.
cally, sorry, don't know about when the startle reflex ends....600 g gain in 3 weeks sound good.....
anxiety attach coming up for me...mil leaves tomorrow...dp has to fly to townsville on sunday and back on monday for work....more than 24 hours home alone with max....YIKES!!!!
good luck to all those on ww.
katie, i've only just got rid of my shields as well....well sort of...after my visit with the lc when she mentioned that using the nipple shields reduces milk by about 20%, i've been feeding without the shields...BUT it did come out 2x today...got put on...and then removed before the feed. i fought the urge.as MD said, it's good to know that they're there when i need them. was actually considering not feeding off the left bb as that one is ALWAYS painful...specially so at the start...and just pumping but am giving it a go still.
ella, i don't know how right or wrong it was, but when my nipples were sore from cracking from feeding, i went onto the nipple shields (which may have reduced my milk production...but allowed me to continue feeding)....am now weaning myself off it. don't know the pros and cons of you using the shields? maybe an experienced someone can advice you on this. oh, also used lansinoh after reading about it from someone on this thread.
hayley, i'm the same with max...but this is usually early in the morning....have learned to ignore the whimper or sudden loud cry unless it goes longer....the times i've picked her up and tried to feed, it was just a waste of time coz' she fell asleep on the bb or just 10ml from the bottle.
leanne, do you leave olivia's dummy on while she sleeps? didn't know whether i could or not.
sorry if i missed anyone else's posts but am just sneaking in these few minutes to read and post.
