Star- my boobs are a sleep aid too lol. I have a feeling Mr R will be awake all night cause he's been so sleepy today! Please pray for blessedatlast girls xxxx
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
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!
Oh man... why did I have to end up with the chuckers? I was hoping it would be different this time. DD1 was such a massive chucker and had reflux on top of it. We went through about 40 bibs and 20 spew cloths with DD1 daily!! Miss T is starting to follow the same suit. She is such a guts and spews half of her feed back up. Thankfully it doesnt seem to be bothering her (just the belly ache BEFORE she spews).. just me. I have been washing a full load of taylahs stuff in the washing machine daily. Thats alot for such a little girl! Atleast breastmilk doesnt stain (except her poo-spolsions... any advice for getting that out of her clothes?) like the formula did with DD1 and doesnt smell quite as bad.
LOL well thats my vent over. You girls are starting to become my journal.. lol
