Shelly, sorry to hear you're having trouble breastfeeding, you're doing a great job! My nipples are a little painful too, I've been using lanisol cream and it seems to help a bit. Nipple shields will definitely help to ease the pain and allow your nipples to heal a little and have a break, they look a bit like a teat that goes over the nipple and areola (sp?) and bub latches on to that. They saved me from giving up bf DS1 so they're definitely worth it and I promise it will get better!
Leesa - I read on fb u went on an outing to the rocking horse, can I just say, one week post c/s I believe u r super woman!! I can't even imagine going anywhere at this stage, I'm sure I'll feel better soon though.
Ezymay and Shelly, hope u and bubs r doing well, I was a little teary yesterday too, was very emotional coming home!
Kody and I are doing well, he's a little piggy and only lost 210g which was great! He seems to feed every 2 to 3 hours and so far is a very content baby, although at night time he doesn't like going in his bassinet so I spent a lot of time dozing in the recliner with him last night. He hardly cries unless you change his nappy or bath him!
Hi to anyone I missed and apologies if I did, I'm on my phone and hard to remember what everyone's written!
Take care everyone and enjoy those newborn snuggles, I sure am!
Can't wait till I can be in here with you girls!!! Quietly reading in the meantime. Even if I end up with a May baby, I might stick around here if that's okay?
