Hi everyone, finally remembered to get on and catch up again lol

Iona - Elise does the same things, she's ok with her formula feeds, but with the EBM she gets really fussy and chucks up after every feed - most EBM feeds it's the thick saliva mixed with milk that comes back up, between feeds it's the chunky cottage cheese-looking stuff.

Whoever mentioned poo - Elise has green runny poo, and she's combined EBM & FF (heinz nurture), DS's was mostly mustard coloured on the same formula, so might be the EBM doing it to her, but then again each child is different so maybe her body isn't processing the iron as well as DS was.


afm - Still can't get Elise to latch on for ore thn a minute without screaming, started trying with the sheild again, and hasn't helped

Elise got weighed again today as well, she's put on another 105g in a week, and is now 4.04kg, took a bit lol I think DS was already 5.5kg at 4wks, but can't really remember

Had to buy a new bra today - my E & F cup ones are huge on me now, and the D cup one I tried on last night was a bit small, so bought a 2 pack of DD's today, and what do you know, they're too big too! I can't win in the bra department lol D's are too small, DD's are too big and there isn't anything in between lol
Just a little bit annoying as I've gone from being an F cup 5 weeks ago to right between a D and a DD cup.

My supply is starting to drop again too, tried everything except the lactation cookies and medication to get it back up now, but nothing is working. Got most of the ingredients for the lactation cookies today, just need to get the brewers yeast and flaxseed meal tomorrow so that I can make them.
Means that Elise has to have 3 bottles of formula a day now instead of just 2.

And if any of you melborne ladies are interested, I'll be heading up tp Lara on either sunday or monday to visit the inlaws and we'll be taking DS to the Aquarium on one of the days we're up there, so if anyone wants to meet up at the Aquarium let me know

Forgotten what else I was going to say now

Hope everyone is doing well and managing to get a bit of sleep!
