nickers, have been thinking about you hon and meant to reply yesterday . So sorry things are difficult at the moment, with the boys still unwell and little Ryker's feeding. It's no wonder you feel overwhelmed. Please don't blame yourself, you're doing everything humanly possible to nurture your little man. It's great to hear he's put weight back on, I hope it brings you a little relief. And I know it's easier said than done, but you need to get some rest sweetie as you're running on empty. I'm glad the fresh air helped, it's so good to get your hands free and get some sun - can make a huge difference to your well-being. How did you sleep last night? Anyway, apologies I can't offer more advice on the BF issue as it's still all really new to me (and I have no idea what I'm doing!) but I can offer lots of support and hugs. You're doing a fabulous job supermum!

sararose, the outing was good thanks - Willow slept in the Ergo the entire time. I think I might have to under-dress her a bit though, she was very warm when I took her out and my chest was all sweaty! Excellent to hear Helena is sleeping better so her mama can too, that's wonderful. Good luck with school holiday time.

me-lisa, have been keeping an eye on your FB page for Alicia updates. Hope she's making a quick recovery so you can take her home for cuddles.

Razz, I'm not sure sorry dude - maybe you just lucked out?? If he's back to his birth weight he must be getting the good stuff! Hopefully one of the more experienced mums (or an MCHN?) will have more comprehensive advice to offer.

Howdy to the other ladies.

AFM: my milk must have changed again, Willow was unsettled on and off yesterday and seemed really uncomfortable trying to burp and poop. She was pulling off the breast a lot so I sat her up in between and am keeping her upright for at least 15 minutes afterwards. She also sleeps in the bassinette with a wedge insert. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. I wish there was more I could do. Does anyone have any tips for getting that wind out? Any other positions I could try holding her in? Doing lots of rocking, patting, swinging etc. She's also feeding a lot more, I guess that helps her work it out as well...?

Having a chilled out day at home, had more visitor requests but keen to lay low. Hope everyone has a great Easter. We need a bunny icon!
