    Oh Cheshire, I hope that your little one comes around to her newest sibling. My dd went to kindy yesterday and today so tomOrrow is our first day at home all together. Dh is sahd and I am going back to work the week after next. Next week I'll be touching bade daily with the office but this week is all mine.

    Yas, I've missed yOu too Hun! I hope your friend and her baby are ok.

    Last night mr T was awesome but prior to that I've been getting 2 hour sleep blocks between feeds. He was awake for a couple of hours this morning and just woke from a 3 hour sleep, fed for 10 minutes and is asleep again! It's like my boobs are a sleep aid-lol. Better go and annoy him and get himto feed more.

    Xx

    Feed time here. Omg my boobs are so full and painful. Mr T also needs burping so much more than dd ever did, dh is currently burping him as ge wouldn't latch on to the other side, just kept making "eh" sounds. Hoping this settles down as burping is taking longer than feeding ATM!

    star, my little man is hard to burp too. But DF seems to have a knack for it, which is lucky cause I seem to suck at it lol. My boobs have settled down I'm so happy because as you girls know, rock hard boobs aren't fun! Mr R is feeding right now, but hasn't woken up for a feed since 10! I love my block sleep
    Hope everyone's going ok! Xxxxx

    Oh man, he was crying and dh went to get him and his arms were out of the swaddle. Grrrr. I didn't do it up tightly enough before-so naughty mummy. On the upside, st least my boobs are getting emptied again so a little comfort. With dd I had this incredible over supply and if I had to bet now, I'd say I'm headed that way again but we'll see.

    So glad you got some block sleep Yas! I put mr t down at 9pm tonight and got 4 hours so I was happy with that. But a mch smaller breakthis time unfortunately. But at least he's feeding

    Hey girls

    Star - Ohh ewww the rock hard boobs... they really suck. Mine are just settling down now and its such a relief. Its so hard to get them to attach when your doing the pamela anderson thing. I found feeding in the football hold position easier when i was engorged and I still do that hold 99% of the time now. Miss T doesnt seem to have too much issue burping. Shes quite the farter and pooer, so gets rid of all her gas that way most of the time.

    Yas - Yay for a good sleep. Things always seem that little bit easier when your going off a half decent sleep

    AFM - We are still chugging along here. DD seems to have picked up my sickness. I was sick about a week leading up to her birth. Just a yucky nose and abit of a cough but shes been struck with the snotty nose. So that on top of the mucous she already had, makes for a cranky baby but Im dealing with it and using the fess sucker to get the goo out. Shes feeding quite well. I have no idea how many times she feeds as I demand feed but she is quite the guts. She seems so much bigger already!! Can you believe we have our 2 week check next week?!!? OMG. Shes definanlty a mummys girl which is a nice change as DD1 has always been a daddys girl.
    Honestly this breastfeeding thing is hard work... seems like my boobs are out all the time. Shes a chucker and a pooer (as i mentioned) so sometimes its a crazy cycle of feed, spew, poo, feed, spew.. it doesnt seem to be bothering her though.
    Im recovering well.. abit sore but nothing to complain about. Ive been taking a couple panadol only a day since a week after her birth. I just couldnt cope with the drugs they gave me and trying to stay awake!
