Hi ladies! Sorry I haven't been around much - have been so busy and out just about every bloody day. Had a bit of a poo night last night, so we are staying home today and not letting anyone drag me out.... Did anyone elses bub cluster feed at 2 weeks? Brooky was sleeping 7pm till 4.30am since last Friday (I think) and last night she instead started feeding every 1-2hours up till now. I didn't expect her to keep the 7pm 4.30am, but I also didn't expect her to change to 1-2hour constant feeding... hopefully it's just cluster feeding from a growth spurt?! Wishful thinking anyway.
JwithJ - I don't think it's too early... It depends on you and your husband really. We couldn't wait to do it again soon as Rochelle was out and on my chest in the delivery room. We planned and decided to try again when she was 6 months. We're already talking about number 3 - I can't wait. We'll probably (depending on how things go with the two girls) try for number 3 at the end of the year... wouldn't mind the same sort of age gap! But we'll definately see.
Hope everyone else is well - it sounds like everyone is coping VERY well and enjoying the new journey. I'm suprised how easy it's been so far with two and so far Rochelle has been such a good girl and just loves Brooklyn. She kisses and strokes her hair a hundred times a day! I try and make sure Rochelle gets lots of attention so she doesn't feel left out and we haven't had a problem *so far*, but we're only 2 weeks in.
Niadla - I can't believe it's been 6 weeks for you already!
Ok, I'm gonna go before my little monkey decides she wants some booby again...
P.S. Girls with sore nipples, get on to those rite aid hydrogel disks, they are ace! Raindrops - I got thrush too, I guess I was more prone to it since I was on antibiotics from the placenta thing and since we had feeding problems in the beginning, I would just shove my boob in her mouth whenever she would open it (since it was a rare occurence) and didn't worry about attachement because I just wanted to get her to feed and therefore got a bit of damage which probably also contributed to thrush. Gosh it was unpleasent, but the pain and stinging is pretty much gone (we're still treating it though) so bf is MUCH easier!
Try and be back soon girls with more personals and catch up some more.
