BW - good luck with relactating! I can imagine that would be a tough journey. Fingers crossed things work out for you. When A was little she was on Zoton which also only came in a tablet, but there was one chemist (half an hr drive away) that made it into a suspension and it was so much easier. Hopefully Kaylee won't need the meds for too long.
Swaddling - I've got a qu. Does anyone have a bubbaroo joey pouch? E breaks out of any swaddle I can do and I've been looking into swaddling blankets in an attempt to get her to crack more than one sleep cycle during naps. I'd be interested to hear any opinions on the bubbaroos. A slept on her tummy when she was a baby and so flailing arms was never too much of a problem, but E sleeps on her back.
Boobs - I have one that seems to let down a lot more quickly than the other and as a result E struggles a bit with that side, especially if it's been a while between feeds, but the other seems not to drain fully and feels as though the ducts get a little blocked. They're crazy things!
AFM - we had a bit of a rough night last night with E not waking fully but being a bit unsettled. She's had a rash on her face and it's really started to dry out. I suspect it's itchy because every time she managed to get her hands out of the swaddle she is rubbing her face. Hopefully she's more settled tonight. She's certainly come alive the last 2 weeks though, which I think is contributing to her not resettling during day sleeps, but it's nice that she's more animated now. We've had a fairly busy weekend and have quite a few visitors planned for this week, so fingers crossed both girls behave themselves. The weather in Perth is awful at the moment and I'm going a bit cabin crazy not being able to go for walks. Hopefully the sun comes out soon!
I hope everyone's having a great weekend and have a good week ahead.
