Gee it really is quiet in here, especially compared to the hussle and bussle of the thrid tri.
Zola, It is true that all of this happens to the best of us. Babies are a lot of trial and error. Unfortunately they don't come with a users manual, and even if they did they can't read it to know how to behave. Hmm, I must remember that. Anyway, if you are finding that you aren't making enough milk it's probably because you are comp feeding, try putting Bas on the boob more often, the more he suckles the more milk you will make, don't expect it to happen straight away, but generally within the next day your supply will have gone up. Basically your bodu only makes as much as your baby needs so the more you feed the more it will make, the less you feed the less milk you make.
Nell, sounds like matthew is doing great. Hope that your boob has settled down for you, there is nothing worse than mastitis. I am so scared of getting it again, when I was feeding Noah I had it 3 times in 3 months in just went from one boob to the other and back again, I was so ill.
Tehya seesm to be doing great. Thankfully we had a better nights sleep last night, only waking twice \/ she has been down now since around 10.30 ish this morning and is still sleeping soundly. She has her last feed around 11/11.30pm and wakes every 2 and a half to 3 hours, still not a great sleeper but atleast she's not staying awake from 2 til 5am like she was doing for a couple of nights. Thankfully she sleeps though noise too, God only knows that Noah tries his hardest to wake her up. She is feeding really good now, thankfully, although as much as she drinks she never even makes an impression on my milk supply, I feel constantly full and there is no way I am going to express them because that will only make me make more milk. I havv been going around with these big full jugs all the time instead Makes for a nice cleavage anyway.
Have a little woohoo for me today, I stood on the scales this morning and I have already lost 12kgs \/ for me.
Hope that everyone is doing great and that you are trying to get as much rest as possible. Enjoy these first few weeks, they go by sooo fast.
