Breastfeeding and Slimming World

[bunnylovesalan]

I won't even mention the fact that Bella is still up about 4/5 times a night at almost 9 months old...
She is the exception though, I don't know anyone who's the same! I'm sure it'll get better for you and you'll start feeling human again. Definitely try and nap same time as the baby, I still do sometimes now x

I definately still have a nap if i can when charles is asleep (I am a choric imsoninic) my lectectur at uni had problems with her three sons till the age of 3, my friend had no problems at all and she sleeps well. I think it varies from one baby to the next. But try and establish a rountine not saying it always works, as I believe babies do what they want (I know controversal) but it helps chill them out a bit especially baths my charles loveeees them

Completely agree about the routine.
We used to have a really stressful bedtime, with lots of screaming but since we've got a routine set Bella is a lot happier and goes down much easier. Doesn't keep her asleep unfortunately!
Our routine is tea between 5-5.30, then a bath at 6ish, watch cbeebies bedtime hour while she plays with her daddy then bottle and bed somewhere between 7-7.30 when she starts showing signs of tiredness

I'm sure you'll feel 100 times better after a good nights sleep.
And don't forget absence makes the heart grow fonder

Just keep at it hunny, you'll do fine nd there will be plenty, just pump at each feed. Even if you only get 1 or 2oz per feed it will soon mount up! ) xx

Try not to stress hun as it can affect milk supply. If you cant pump while feeding, pump straight after feeding so you can use both hands. A difference of half an hour between the times you feed and pump wont do any harm hun, you'll probably get more out because you can concentrate more on it xx

Have you tried the electrical pump, they are good I have found in the past

How long did you pump for? Try at least five minutes. If it doesn't come out today, keep it up. The stimulation will tell your body you need more milk and it will come eventually, probably a day or so xx

Hi, I'm new too... Just started SW last week. I have a beautiful 4 month old baby girl too. I'm finding it hard to cook all these gorgeous meals while dealing with a toddlers, an autistic teen, a husband who works all the hours on earth and a baby who thinks mummy's boobies are her new best friend. I did manage spaghetti bolognase this evening...think we might be eating a lot of that.
