We survived our first night home, in fact it went a bit easier than I expected which means tonight might be my reality check. My poor boobs are bleeding but powering on with feeding which is rather painful but I got some Multi-Mums which are really helping them heal, poor Annika though is chucking up the blood that she is sucking, but she is getting much more milk so we just need to work through it. Ash - I was reading your thread about bleeding nipples and have gained a few ideas. My milk came in yesterday and they (boobs) are massive!! I forgot how engorged they are at first!! I think I need to rethink attachment as Bailz went on easy, but Anni always puts her hands in front of her face, makes it hard to get her on properly. Our Baby Photographer is coming Tues, and she is a great bf advocate (was thinking about becoming an ABA counsellor) so might ask her for some help I think. I have a bit of soreness downstairs but feeling good overall. Had the tears yesterday afternoon - I was sitting on the couch with Anni and just burst into tears, poor DH was asking me what was wrong and we just joked about that it was the textbook Day 3 tears, I took Anni and I off to bed for a sleep and woke feeling much calmer and happy. I was wondering when she would next poop as hadn't for 24 hrs, but then my milk obviously started to fill her up and we have poop. I forgot how much washing a newborn causes too, Bailz never chucked, Anni, well she'd win an olympic medal - although I think once I get the nipple bleeding sorted that will help.
Sorry for the quick post, I will try to do some persies later, finding 2 kids BUSY!! I dont know how those of you with more do it hehehehehe
