hi girls.

my first little one arrived later than schedule and was born on 7th Jan. Have just been getting my self sorted and together so have been MIA from BellyBelly for the week. He was born by C/S due to postdates and my cervix not opening and him moving from being engaged to moving back up away from Pelvis... he was just too comfy in there apparently.

breastfeeding seems to be going well. he weighed 3350 at birth, 3150 at day three and 3270 on day five so he was gaining weight well and my milk had come in. He seems to feed every 3-4 hours sometimes last a bit longer. but generally a happy boy. Today he has been feeding a little closer together during the day 2.5-3 hours but im thinking this could be a little growth spurt he is having. He is a guzzler too so he tends to choke a bit on the milk cuz i think he is just eating soo quickly. not sure if there is anything i can do to stop this happening?

We had our first outing the other night for hubbys dads bday and feeding timed really well with feeding just before we left at 530 and then we managed to go out, have dinner and get home and feed him again before bed at 930pm. It was great to take him out and use the pram and feel like a real family. Hubby looked very cute pushing the pram!

im not sure i will be much help to all you mums as you seem to be second timers but hopefully you will be able to offer me advice as i go along learning more about my little man and what he needs.

Hope all your little ones are doing well.
