Little_O - tonight I get to sleep next to my DP again! We came home from the hossy today, yay!!
So yes, we got to bring our little guy home today. He is already having his first nap in his bassinet We got home in time for his next feed. Im not having much fun with the MCN's though. I've put two on him so far and the urine has just leaked straight out the sides. Once in his bassinet and then the second time on me. Maybe I am not putting them on tight enough?!
Oh and I think I posted about it in the Belly Buddies thread, but my milk has well and truly come in now. We have BF'ing a try whilst in the hossy but I am not that keen on it. He latched on ok, but after every feed he just didn't seem to settle and it was like he was constantly hungry?! So I've decided I am going to express my breast milk and bottle feed it to him. Will see how we go with that plan anyway!
Oh and I just re-read your post Lulu about what foods not to eat, yay for a bland diet! d'oh! Oh well, maybe it'll help with losing the baby weight! hehe
Yay mc_hope for coming home today. It's the best feeling being back at home. Make sure you sneak a cuddle in with dp tonight our dd can sense when we are even remotely close and makes noise lol!
With the bf-ing I read an article about formula vs bf and it was saying that the reason a baby appears more "full" after formula is it takes longer for them to digest and so it makes them drowsy. Whereas BM is the most easily digested and so they appear more alert. I'm pretty sure it was on kellymom.com but if I find it I'll link you in.
Lulu: your poor baby and poor you too. 3 hours would be a killer. Glad she's better today. I agree with you will cuddling. I keep thinking how she won't be this little for long!
Afm: my right breast feels bruised again, which is how the mastitis made it feel really hoping I can avoid it again. I massaged it out and have been trying to first feed from there do hopefully it works! Going to see the LC now so I shall let you know how I go!
