BUN I think my body wishes that DS was waking up that often...it's a shame when the baby sleeps through and your body doesn't!
HARLEYS GIRL As much as I like the look of my very full BBs I wish they were soft and saggy!! At least I could hug my DH! ha ha!!
Hopefully my supply will settle down soon, my body must think that DS are triplets!! A friend has kindly offered to lend me her electic breast pump (whoo! hoo!) so I might borrow it and start making a stash of EBM rather than having it drip all over a towel...then I can take my DH's offer and have him do night feeds for a night and I can have a few long awaited vinos! I guess I should do this before my supply does drop off....
On another note....what happens when you DTD? A friend told me if you orgasim then you leak all over the shop? Just wanting to know whether to warn DH or surprise him? It's been a while I hope I remember how to do it!!
Well, Jacks has been asleep since 4 today (it's 7pm now) and I'm wondering... do you girls wake them up after a certain time for their naps or just let them go? Especially since it's sorta running into "bed time"... I would rather not though ><;;
Also, do any of you still have sensitive nipples? I'm not having any trouble with them while feeding, but things like a towel against them is a bit of a shock to the system...
Humming, when we dtd I kept my bra on JIC. Didn't want to cover poor DH in BM, he thinks it's a little odd as it is that my boobs aren't "his" anymore haha. But I didn't notice any leaking... mind you the only time I notice any uncontrolable leaking is after a shower or after Jacks feed.
Teagz, I haven't been waking DD, just letting her go. They need a lot of sleep at this age so I just take it as it comes. Although in saying that, during the day time if it's getting past 4ish hours or more since her feed I'll wake her, but during the night she can sleep as long as she wants.
And yes to the sensitive nipples especially on the towel! Ouch! I get that, but not with anything else like clothes/bra.
Teagz - i also try not to let the day feeds go past 4 hrs at the most. evenings i leave her sleep though. the maternal health nurse said this was saying if we try and get 5 good feeds in between 7am and 7pm she should hopefully start to get get in to a better day/night routine? that's what we're aiming for anyways,
DD has a snotty nose which is making her breathing a challenge.it also makes her gag the poor thing with it sliding down her throat! saline spray is helping though. she sounds like a growling possum when she's on the boob though! lol
thanks girlies!! That's what I worry about. I ended up waking him up at 8, so 4 hours after his last feed... I feel horrible waking them up because I know how cranky I get when I'm in a good sleep and someone wakes me up! He had his feed and ended up going back to sleep at 8.45ish, slept through til 11, and then til 5, and then til 8.30 Mummy dragged him out clothes shopping yesterday so he musta been nackered ><;;
Eluned, glad my nipples aren't the only ones then! I was getting alittle worried about attachment, but then confused because it doesn't actually hurt when he suckles and my CHN said he was attaching fine... I'm finding BF so technical, and a little confusing at times!!
I only wake a baby if hes asleep at bed time other then that he just does his bit lol i had to wake him last night but we was still half asleep when i fed him his dinner lol
Sore nipples - this is the only i havent had this with but DD was bad for AGES! one thing that helps is to have your booby hang out to air dry after feeding, so if your changing to the other side stick a towel or facewasher under the last to feed on boob and leave it out while feeding on the other side. also lanoline helps. If they get really bad try expressing and feeding EBM for a day or even jsut a few feeds to help heal your nipples.
Let me tell you, ladies, a pap smear 6 weeks after giving birth is NOT fun! Just had my 6 week post natal check and ob did a pap smear as I haven't had one in over 2 years. Owwwie did it hurt! Won't be letting DH near me any time soon! Other than that all is good!
Also had Amelia's 6 week check at the CHN. She is going GREAT! She has put on 630grams in 3 weeks!!!
Hi all DS2 had check up on fri and he now wg 4595 grams up 410 grams in 2 weeks.
I dont wake him for feeds he wakes regularly seems to have 1 or 2 good sleeps a day and rest is naps!!! Over night he sleeps better in bed with us but I dont so hopefully we can fix that ASAP as I am so tired and I am snapping at DS1.
I don't tend to wake Z either, but she generally wakes every 3-4hrs for feeds anyway.
Feeb - well done on the weight gain, i have had a couple of nights where Z seems to like sleeping in with me, but she's fine during the day.. go figure! I think her prob is my flow is so so fast and she gets HEAPS then gets a belly ache no matter how much wind she brings up
Eluned - oh hun you poor thing, we have our 6wk check-up tomorrow and i have to have one too.. was meant to get them every yr from b4 A was born and i haven't had one
I am so not looking forward to it now/
Go Amelia, that is an awesome weight gain... seems we all have good lil bubbas!
Hope everyone else is well...
AFM - Z has fed every hr from 10 til 2 this morn so i think she might be having a growth spurt which is great except A is still teething and now has a runny nose and is clinging to me like glue!
She tends to gave a feed, a bit of a play and then a sleep and feeds roughly every 3hrs so is normally awake about 1hr to 1.5hrs and then asleep the same time period, although she is stirring a lot more the last couple of days and at times is happy to have a bit of a play and go back to sleep.
Ava is LOVING her, we ask if she wants to kiss Zara and she goes up to her on the floor, kneels down and kisses her head then pats her head. When i am burping her A comes up, moves my hand and gently pats her on the back! it's gorgeous.
Z went into a 000 suit today for length, A wasn't in 000 until she was a couple of months old, i am so proud of my growing baby girl!
Will add some pics to my album on here and have updated some albums on FB.. i'm ADDICTED to photos... lol
Well hope everyone is well, have managed to do the dishes, some washing, let Ava play outside and vac the lounge even in b/w hourly feeds and A only sleeping an hour.. NOT BAD i reckon.. DP better not say anything about the state of the house!
Eluned, sorry to hear that the pap smear was so painful, hope you feel better soon. I also have to have one cause my last 2 which I have had every six months have been irregular so they need to keep a close eye on whats going on down there.
I have a question for the mums that are using the Brauers Colic Relief.....I started using it a few days ago and it seems to be helping....Madison is burping a lot more after feeds than she used to although she still does get wind that gets trapped and no matter what I do it just wont come out but it doesnt seem to be as bad as it was. So my question is how long is it OK to keep using the drops for? There is not much info in the box about them. I am putting them into her bottle at each feed atm. Is that what everyone else is doing?
tracehb i just squirt straight into his mouth, I have cut down on how often he only has it now in late evening as that is when he seems to be uncomfortable.
~ Zarava Flutterby ~ well done good effort!!!!!!!!!!! DS2 has only been in 000 clothes and finding feet are to small for him now!!!!!!!
unless you want a wet bed lol
Mummy dragged him out clothes shopping yesterday so he musta been nackered ><;;
it's gorgeous.
her name is Madison Lilijana
