DD fed at 9pm last night then went through to 2am was fed and back asleep in her bassinet by 3am and then went through to 5:30. Was happy I got 6.5hrs sleep.
Ahh I am jealous of you Danniim my little muffin had a feed last night at 11:30 and then it took DH and I til 1:30 to settle her and then she was awake for another feed at 3:30...
Bwahahaahahahahaa!!! Sitting on the couch with Alex sleeping on my chest, DH is watching some shoot 'em up movie and Alex opened his eyes, looked over at his dad with the biggest sneer on his face before going back to sleep - as if to say "geez dad, turn that noisy crap down I'm sleepin' here"
Mollie I certainly needed it, she has been keeping me up most nights since and including the night she was born. Some nights I've been running on 2-3 hrs it's tough going hey!?
Argh my boobs are so sore, well have been the last couple of days. I'm having to feed her in the football hold on the right side cos I've had a shocking blockage and feeding normally it was just not improving. It's pretty red as well but don't think it's at the stage of mastitis. Been having hot showers and giving it one heck of a massage with hot water running on it, the pain seems to be subsiding this afternoon with it so hopefully I've caught it in time.
Hope no one was looking over my front fence this arvo cos I had my boobies hanging out after a feed to give one awesome air dry.
Wonder how Amanda is going.
I've been a bit down the last couple of days with all the boobie problems with cracked blistered nipples now the blockage but it's so reassuring to get on here and read what you girls are up to.
Ok so I know that they say to feed 3 hrly night and day but seriously if she was feeding 1.5 hrly most of the afternoon it's alright to let her do her thing overnight right!? She fed at 7pm and went to 1am and now I'm feeding again at 4:30am.
I never did the 3hrly thing either, rather just feed when he's hungry - he starts sucking his hands and bobbing his head around well before he cries so I usually feed him then. Last night was constant feeds from 5-7pm, short break for my dinner while he had a little nap then big feed at 9pm, 1am, 3.30am and now at 7am.
He also seems to have developed a talent for waiting for the precise moment when I undo his nappy to check him to get me with a sneaky pee! And has pretty good aim too I must say
Yeah same, everyone says you have to wake her but I figure if she's hungry she will tell me. Lilly does the same CK. Latley we have had to wait with the opened nappy on just in case, otherwise we end up with a large wet patch on the change table LOL
Dan, I hope you are feeling better soon. I hated having the blisters they were awful. I was really bad and popped them too LOL I'm terrible with that sort of stuff.
WEW our 4am feed is offically bottle free /dances now just another 7 or so feeds to go.
We got a snazzy Medela Calma bottle with my Medela Swing as a free gift, and it seems to be getting her to prefer booby more. It has this funky design that mimicks let down and pauses the flow and doen't give any liquid unless she sucks to a certain pressure. It's been really good. She's much better on the boob now.
Sad though with BLA she still can't self attach. Anyone have any ideas why that would be?

Yippee, got Alex's appt with the health nurse for a home visit this afternoon - now to hope he's actually awake for it
I'm back into most of my normal clothes, which is awesome - haven't jumped on the scales yet though. Currently doing a bit of online christmas shopping while Mister has his morning snooze.
I just had my vist with the community nurse just now CK. Lilly has put on 280g in 8 days and passed all her tests hooray! She was supportive of what I was doing with BF too. I was relieved. I was preparing for a guilt trip.
Also, we just had another feed, no bottle... I feel like we are gaining momentum. Only had to comp 30ml formula today and the other was EBM. Wew!
Aww I'm jealous, My belly is so flabby after the C/S, its slowly getting smaller but enforced no exercising for 6 weeks blows to get rid of it. At least I can BF to eat up extra calories hehe
Dan, yeah me too, I was just reading the ABA thing on BLA and she just can't do it on her own poor dear just dosent seem to know how to attach unless I do it for her. Was just wondering.
