kanda - It must be so hard with more than one kid. I'm finding that the baby alone is a huge amount of work. I hope you can get a break, even if just for a short while.
Alison - aw, poor Amelia and you! Liam's done a few spectacular power spews the last few days (the joys of oversupply - he gulps down more milk than he wants/needs and then chucks it). He always manages to spew all over me, and never DH though! Same goes for poosplosions - they always end up on me!
Carmey - I've been doing exactly that (letting the letdown go into a towel and/or hand expressing some out) and it's been helping a little. Poor Liam's been squirted in the eye with milk a few times when he pulls off though!
AFM - Liam is actually napping right now. He was really restless all day yesterday, only managing a few short cat naps. By the time we put him down for the night, he was totally wired and overtired. He eventually fell asleep, and stayed asleep for almost five hours. Then, instead of waking every hour as usual, he stayed asleep for at least two hours at a time. I tell you what, my boobs were grateful every time he woke up though - I ended up massively engorged, since I'm so used to feeding him practically hourly. I almost got up to express at 3am, since I was so damn uncomfortable. Thankfully Liam's had a couple of decent feeds this morning, but I can feel myself getting engorged again as he naps.
I also finally got it together to try Liam in cloth nappies. I've been slack and have been using disposables all the time. The little bugger has already outgrown a lot of the size smalls I have. Just ordered some bigger sizes to try him in.
