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.
