Hi Ladies,
My gorgeous girl is 6 days today, can I join you? Ive had a rough few days after my section luckly I didn't gain alot of weight in pregnancy I weighed myself on sat and im few pounds lighter than pre preg but got other pounds to lose. I'm giving a breast feeding ago but im toping her with formula aswell as she doesn't always feed for long on breast and is also bit jaundice at the moment x

Hiya and welcome. Whats your daughters name? Well done for keeping ur weight in check!
So tired......Dan hasnt slept well since his 3rd set jabs, and its getting worse! Hes going to sleep then 10 mins later wide awake! Have resorted to co sleeping just to rest my eyes,funny how he seems to sleep then! Spoke to HV she says its normal for 4mth old to be unsettled n could be teething or growth spurt?

good evening all -hope everyone is well
Cas3 -glad your little one arrived safe n sound, sounds like you had a time of it though
, hope you are on the mend soon.....
My little one has a touch of jaundice too -although it is improving... and like yours mine struggled to feed from the boob too -although If I saw something about 4 times bigger than my head coming my way Im not sure I would be keen either. I started off in hospital trying part boob, part cup and part syringe until I put my foot down as he was confused, I was stressed so I said I would put it in a bottle-at least he would still be getting the same nutrients and now he can flit between badooby and bottle no problem -depending what mood he is in )
Im all :clap: today as Charlie has his 2 week check, he started off at 6lb 8oz and in his first week dropped to 5lb 15oz -not surprising really as we struggled to get him to feed in hospital - well this week he has shot up to 6lb 12.5oz -so he has gained 13.5oz in a week, so at least I know he is getting enough milk and that my milk has what he needs.
He has started having more feeds straight from the badooby now as well, although we are still doing a mix of boob and expressed milk. This morning I woke up and thought I was growing a 3rd boob as I had a tennis ball sized lump in my left one -but once I attached the pump and massaged away -it disappeared (and gave me heaps more milk than usual) -luckily it didn't hurt ...and as Charlie has been on the badooby more today I have 320ml of milk stashed in the fridge so 3-4 feeds there for him :bliss:.
Hubby is being an absolute diamond(as always) - doing the night feed - we are tag teaming the little sausage, I change him and put a clean sleep suit on for bed, then hubby feeds his last bottle and settles him in his carrycot, then we have his milk in the spare fridge in the spare bedroom and a flask of hot water by the bed, hubby does the night feed and changes him -usually about 3am and then I sit in bed and express some more and then I get up for the early feed -about 6am -feed him and settle him back in his bed and come down to express more milk and get myself sorted....gawd am I glad that hubby doesn't need to work until at least the end of June
ooooh and after I had charlie I came out of the hospital 11lbs lighter than I went in and then this week I have some how managed to lose 6lbs -without really trying... gotta love breast feeding.... I have found that Im drinking more -even though I allready cleared about 8pt of water a day before..but I don't seem to be any hungrier yet -although Im sure it will kick in soon lol...
Right enough waffle - I had better get off and have a relax before I express some more
Have a god night everyone and hope we all get lots of zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzs

Hi, long time no post lol!
Your babies all seem so teeny tiny. We've all been ill in my house so I've got a 19 month old breastfeeding like a newborn. It's making me wonder how long until she weans.....I'm worried she won't! She has uintil she turns 2 then that's it no more boobie.
We were sat playing where's your body part this morning so I was saying, 'where's your foot' and she was waving her foot in the air, where's your hands etc etc. I was amazed how much she knew. Then hubby asked her, where's your boobies? She turned around to me and blew a raspberry on my chest!
And I got my century badge!

Hello aww leeanne poor u them blooming jabs grrr! Dont know what to give for a cough when Dan had snuffles i used snuffle baby and saline drops also tried steam from shower not sure it worked though.
Was going to suggest the sugar free crusha, wish they did all flavours sf! Also wish i could bf forever.....i love cake, it must be really hard for you to think about giving up after so long, i nearly cry thinking about it and im only 4 mth in!!
Dan has turned really fussy on the boob , pulling off n crying n fidgeting n grabbing at me.....ended up ringing le leche line, spoke to a lovely lady who gave me loads of info n tips.Also going to see lactation specialist cos im convinced now my latch is not 100% partly my fault partly poss tongue tie, shall update on tues. Looking forward to telling work that i will have to express the same pattern as Dan feeds so thats every 2 hrs then lol. Anyone at work n expressing???

Good afternoon all, hope everyone is well.
Well I have finally started getting to grips with uploading some photos (oooh I am a cabbage when it comes to technology) -anyhoo -here is one of my fave pics of my scrumptious little man ..oooh I could eat him up .... this is his "butter wouldn't melt poses" -you might need to click it to see him properly
He is still being as good as gold... for the last couple of nights he has slept down stairs in his carry cot with daddy as mummy has been getting some serious cramps as everything moves back in to place I assume - sometimes the pain take my breath away, so hubby has done night duty...although bless the little dumpling he tends to go to sleep about 11pm then wake up about 4am for a feed and then off he goes again until about 7-8am-ish. Hubby just wanted me to get plenty of sleep, as he keeps pointing out that if I am poorly then I won't be able to keep the milk coming -so If Im not well then bumpsy will suffer too..ooh he is a diamond.. it must be working as I am slowly turning into Daisy the Dairy cow :giggle:.I expressed 260ml off first thing this morning and another 100ml about 9am and Im about ready to go again... At the moment I have 6x90ml feeds in the fridge so Im planning on getting some storage pots tomorrow so I can start freezing a bit -even if I can just do one feed a day for the freezer I will be happy..
Charlie is starting to go on the badooby more often too -although he does just love to snooze on there -he would stay there all day if he could get away with it... In an odd way Im glad that he is part boob and part breast milk in a bottle as I don't think I would be comfortable feeding him in public -Now if I had those lovely boobies where mums can discreetly lift there top and attach babe and away they go I would be fine..but, well My badoobies are rather large and getting Charlie attatched quite often looks like a bag full of ferrets fighting -what with man handling my boob with one hand and trying to wrestle the little fella in to place with the other..it will never be classed as discreet
JOJO -Im not sure what has helped with the expressing, although initially I thought that if the milk stopped then that boob was done :d'oh:..now I realise that if I leave the pump going a little longer I will hit another duct its just a case of waiting for it to get stimulated, I also attach my pump and once its going I use one hand to gently knead and massage the boob -It seems to make a great difference for me ooooh and have you tried leaning forward when things slow down so that the weight of your boob is on the plastic cup bit -that might just make a difference to me because I have big badoobies :giggle:.
I have to say that I have said to hubby that I don't know how ladies with other children find the time to express -its almost a full time job -by the time the little one is down and I have had a drink etc and expressed its time to start again -and Thats even though Charlie is a good baby and hubby is a star-so GAWD know how everyone does it....
We are off to register Charlie B tomorrow -so then he will be all official :clap:. I have also put his first reusable nappy on this morning -I just wanted to try one as Im not sure if they are still a little wide between the legs or not -so we will see and if they are ok I can stop with the disposable ones:cross:.
