Danni- wow that's good to know - I thought the blisters etc were probably still to come! With attachment, the only thing I was told by a midwife was to make sure their lips made the "special K" sign (like the K on the breakfast cereal) by making sure both lips went outwards instead of tight around the nipple, and I haven't had any problems yet?!
Lolpigs, I know hey, MILs are so frustrating.. Sorry yours is he same! It's so unsettling to me hearing her try to somehow lay claim over violet, it makes me feel sick. Poor you with last night, awww... You must be exhausted!!
Mollie- I like the heat pack in a nappy idea!! I might try that!
Jan, aw thank you yeah I'm heaps glad DH agreed- he said she only ever thinks of herself which definitely seems true! She will definitely try to stay with us when she comes to Adelaide but I told DH no way cos it'd stress me out too much and babies pick up on stress... His dad who also lives out of Adelaide is tying with us next weekend, which is fine cos his dad is lovely- so I compromised by at least saying he could stay with us.. I'll try not to let it get to me! It's so aggravating when you have such a stupid issue like this on your mind!!
CK ha, Violet has that tendency too, to wait till I've either changed her completely or have jut taken off her nappy and he will go to the toilet!! Very messy when it's the latter! And yeah SO many nappy changes! I think we go through like 12 or so a day!
Does anyone know, with allergies, when do babies develop those? Cos I know children with a peanut allergy can't be around other people who have eaten peanuts for example- and the other day DH was kissing Violets face after eating nuts (not peanuts) and it got me wondering how quick allergies become present?
We had an annoying feeding night last night too- Violet wanted to be fed every 5 mins from about 4pm till about mid iChat! It's weird hey.. Was so relieved I could finally settle her before i went to bed...
Danni, awww poor you with the sore nipples- have you tried the nipple shields? Myodwife said as long as the baby at least gets your colostrum then that's heaps beneficial, and you've at least breastfeeding for a few weeks! That's more than lots of babies would get of breastfeeding! But I totally get your frustration, how upsetting for you!
AM lol @ the curtains! I don't know if I'd have laughed or cried if that were me!!
