Hi ladies

Hope u don't mind me crashing I've rejoined sw tonight, lil man is 5 weeks tomoro, I didn't get my pin so waiting to b texted it so can ne1 tell me where I am with healthy extras while bf, I'll b doin ee?

Was well pleased I'm 6lbs lighter than pre preg weight! x

My c gave me a little book. But basically it is as follows:-
If baby is up to 2months= 3 extra hexa/b (preferably 1or2 to be hexa, same for all ages)
2-3months=4
4-6months (if starting to wean)=3
4-6months (if exclusively bfing)=4
Over 6months when weaning=1
Hope this helps

This is the info you need

Tbh I started when my lil one was 8 months so could only have 1 hex. Very rarely do I have it. I can't get it into my head that it's ok to have it!
I know there are a few others on here who started when their babies were a lot younger and they had the extra hex and still lost weight.
Have them and them you could always decrease if needed but I'm sure you won't need to

Good evening ladies,

I have been dipping in and out on the thread getting ready for "Charliebumps" arrival on the 19th April-ish, only today I have found out that he is coming early -next Thursday to be exact -and I was wondering if anyone on here has had a General anesthetic with their C-section? and if so have they had any problem with establishing breast feeding? I know I won't be awake for the initial skin to skin (he is going up daddies top until Im half with it )... and I appretiate he may be a little dopey to start with but I just thought I would get prepared and see if anyone has any experience .
Ether way Im sure I will be on here once Im out of hospital asking lots of questions....
thanks in advance ladies...

I didn't have a c section so I'm unable to offer any information. I would just say sick with it as it may start out slowly but you'll get there.
Good luck with your birth x
