Am trying so hard with this bfeeding stuff. Had my LC here yesterday and she basically said its a time thing and if I have the time we will eventually get there...but she cant say how long. A will happily suck from the bottle. She has issues with keeping suction and comes on and off and gets lots of wind too. LC suggested trying to put the teat over my nipple to see if she will suck better...lol....i suppose I can only try! She sleeps in our room in the bassinett, I get up every feed because theres no point in trying to feed her in bed because she doesnt stay on long enough so I would have to turn the light on and sit up to see what I am doing. The girls go to occassional care 8 hours a week. Although that finishes at the end of the week... I have been using that time to try bfeeding in peace! My house is a pig sty and the bathroom is ferral! I need sleep and have been up since 5am feeding and pumping and cleaning bottles... not to mention that i didnt get to bed til after 11 and was up a few times feeding and resettling babies/children. OMG.... I am so tired.
Adam looked at me pumping this morning and said....it looks painful and uncomfortable. Well it is. I hate it with a passion and dont know how much longer I can go so she better hurry up and do it properly soon. The base of my nipples burn from rubbing on the pump attachment and then that impacts on feeding coz it hurts....
Sorry about the me post.....
Kaz- happy due date. Maybe Quoll will be like Amy and come out on its due date!!!!
