Farmgirl - We had L's hands & feet cast at 9 days old lol. They are now hanging in her bedroom. SIDS don't recommed tummy sleeping because of the rick of them not being able to move their heads for breathing. Maybe try laying her on her side? I used to do that for my first two and alter the sides so they didn't get flat head.
Bern - L up chucks as well. Usually first thing in the morning when my supply is plentiful. My lactation consultant (and mother & baby clinic nurse) said to just lie back a little so the flow isn't so fast. It makes bub work for it more and slows your flow it right down. What is MCHN?
Mellybelly - You can get special sterilized "milk bags" for the freezer. They are made by "Kaneson" and come in a pack of 10 with stickers so you can record the date you expressed and also how many mills. They hold 200mls each. You get them from chemists but it's a bit hit and miss as to who stocks them. I get my MIL to get mine from her pharmacy. i don't know how much they cost though. Also you can get at Big W little food tubs that you can use fo EBM. They hold about 70mls each. They are in the "baby" section where all the sterilizers etc... are. They are sterilizer safe as well and can be re used later for baby food.
Dragonbub - Yes these are the toughest days but sometimes I just have to get out of the house. Having vertually no friends and no family close it's all feeling so isolated. If you need a little cry then you have a cry. Your not superwoman who can leap tall buildings in a sigle bound lol. L is having a weigh in today but she is out of her 0000 and into her 000. They are just a little bit big for her but her 0000 are just a little snug now.
MrsS - Yay to bubs putting on weight. That's great for no more hospital!
I can't go back to see all the other posts and I wanted to reply to them. But hoping all is ok and bubs are doing well.
