Nay - I couldn't believe that after all the baby-proofing and always watching Kyson around hazards, it ended up being a balloon in the middle of an empty floor that gave him his first blood nose! *sigh* I guess no matter what we do there is no way to totally protect them. We just have to let them be little kids and be ready with the mummy-cuddles.
So awesome how Bailey is developing so rapidly at the moment. I can't wait until he gets his brace off to see what he does next!!

TM - I've heard that a lot of kids are either talkers or walkers. Sounds like Jade might be a little talker, whereas Kyson is a little walker. He says a few sounds that are like words ("mama", "dada", "dere"), but doesn't associate them with much yet. He occassionally gets rather chatty and noisy, but mostly he's a quiet little boy. Well except when he's cranky hehe.

Cathy - Sounds like Kyson and Cara are similar with their feeding. Have fun sorting photos!
I was going to watch that brestfeeding show, but it started when the dss's were eating dinner, and I thought it might put them off their meal, lol.

Vic - Sorry to hear that CJ is biting. Kyson has gottent he point and doesn't do it very often now. I tend to watch him much more closely when feeding him now just in case though.
Kyson tends to start getting cranky and I know he wants a feed, or he just walks up to me and starts pulling and ripping at my top, lol! Sometimes he even just leans in and starts trying to suck any part of my chest the might be showing hehe.
Oh, and that giraffe story is gorgeous. Although I think Kyson is a little confused because he's the most indepedent kid in my MG and Playgroup, but ALSO can be the sookiest and clingy. He wants to be both a girl AND boy giraffe, hehe.

BG - Sonds like E coped really well yesterday. I imagine that there can be some mixed emotions though. I'm sure you want her to be happy, but I imagine that it may be a little upsetting that she did ok without you, if you know what I mean. At the end of the day though, I think that the reason she did so well is because you are a wonderful mummy that has a great well-adjusted, brave and happy little girl


Another bf question for you girls. I'm trying to boost my supply yet again as it seems to be really affected by my upcoming af again. The other morning I went to feed Kyson and he couldn't even get anything! Granted it was only 2 hours since his last feed, and he was rather impatient about not getting let down, but I still freaked out a bit that he couldn't get any milk. Luckily I had expressed the night before (trying to boost supply) and had some in the fridge for him. Anyway, my question is.. What happens with your supply if a feed is cut out? I mean, I understand that you supply would go down to only make the amount of milk the baby is drinking, but I guess what I'm worried about is if I lose a feed during the day, will there be less milk at night when Kyson seems to need it more? He has bigger feeds during the night than during the day. I feel like at the moment I'm constantly fighting to increase my supply!
