It would seem that little mans compromise for 3x 4hr stretches at night would be 4hr feeds thru the day or maybe he just knows that I have stuff I want to do today. DH away in Bangkok and school back tomorrow. Need to get some lunch box cooking done and find everything for school!! But no we've been on off feeding now since he woke at 7am. Little monster. Oh and the piano teacher will be at my door at 7am ahhhhh welcome back to reality tegam
My theory is they sense your attention is on something other than them and in an instinctive act of self preservation they remind you who the most important person in the world is!
Doing ok. Surgery went well, but I felt like poo afterwards. Sooo much pain. Thankfully that's getting better now. But the nausea... oh my. Been feeling like throwing up all day. Have not been able to eat anything. They tried various different drugs to stop it. I think they have finally found something that's working... fx
Bubby and hubby stayed with me the whole time (apart from surgery of course).
Getting better, but still in a lot of pain. Just arrived home. Have to put bub on formula for 2 days while the anesthesia wears off. So I have to pump and dump until I get rid of those drugs and all the pain meds/antibiotics out of my system. Not happy, but not much I can do since I haven't got a big enough stash to see us through... Always meant to store some ebm, but since the oversupply I didn't want to pump yet. Also I thought I had more time. I'm just a bit emotional about it. Bubby seems ok with it, but I'm struggling. She smells so different now. Not sure why, but somehow it bothers/unsettles me. She smells like her cousin Penny, not like my little Milly-button
Sorry, I'm ouchy and emotional and weird....
Btw pumping is poo
I'm sorry you have to interrupt your breastfeeding, it is heartbreaking in a way only a mother can understand and I know what you mean about the smell... I'm not going to be all logical here, you've probably heard it all and it doesn't matter. When your baby is being fed by formula and not your precious breast milk it is really upsetting. Just know that you are not alone in feeling this way. And yes, pumping is poo!
Raupe, there is a man, Rodney White who works at monash hospital melbourne whom you can ring as ask about medication and breastfeeding, he'll tell you if you need to dump or not. Will see if I can get the number for you.
