Dansta: i hope all goes well with your LO will be thinking of you
Infinity: your little girl sounds like a fighter, i hope its all going well.
Little Chloe is now 2 weeks and 3 days old, its been good so far but i think she eats far too much but doesnt bring anything back up so i imagine she needs to have that much??
I started off BF until my left nipple got grazed *ouch* the midwives all had different ways of telling me how to feed and it wasnt working for me and in the end she really damaged it so she was getting a right BF then a left EBF. i was shocked to see how much i expressed from one breast - between 90 and 110ml and she would have the whole amount and keep it all down!.
i am now back to BF on both breasts thank goodness it is so much easier than having to express at all hours of the morning. Hopefully the BF continues to go well it still takes me a few attempts to get her on right but im sure we will get there.
as for sleeping she has had a few sleepless nights but overall she seems to be fine. Last night she had a feed at 11pm and slept to 4am, that seems to be her routine now she has a block of 4 - 5 hrs sleep at night - for now anyway im sure she will change soon. i was concerned about her sleeping so long but she seems to be getting enough milk and has wet and dirty nappies at every feed. Im going to weigh her today to see how much she has gained since leaving the hospital should be interesting i have a feeling she is close to 4kg now - she was 3.522 when born and only lost 80gm by the time we left the hospital.
anyway thats all from me i may try to have a little nap while Chloe is sleeping.
Erica: i too lost 11.5 kg in 2 weeks, but still another 10 to go and i have a feeling the last ten will be the hardest. I cant wait to start exercising but have to get the all clear from Dr first (had a c section not sure how long i have to wait until i can do things)
