Breastfeeding::Doing it at home : In Switzerland

WEIGH IN

Surprisingly - 1.5lbs
 
WEEK 2 : Count down to holiday

Being a stay at home mum is such a privilege to be able to spent time with the babies while they are still young. I am so grateful to not be in a position where I have to rush back to work. However being a stay at home mum is a job in itself. Got up at 8am this morning and by 11am its amazing what I had done.....it is work, physical work.

On a better note Malita woke up about 4 times but this time when to bed earlier, guess our busy weekend played a part in getting her down earlier than she has been doing.


Breakfast:35g Oats(HEB), 250ml SS Milk(HEA), Pear, WW Yogurt

Lunch: Omelette: 2x Egg,Milk; Onion, Red Peppers, Fry light, Orange

Snack: Apple 6 28g Emmental Cheese(HEA)

Dinner: 50g Couscous, Salad: Lettuce, peppers, cucumber,cherry tomatoes, 56g Avocado (5SYNS), Roast Chicken, Nandos Sauce (3SYNS)

Feeling good today, cupboards are all stocked up so no excuse not being on plan

TOTAL: 2 x HEA, 1 x HEB, 8 SYNS

Week 2 : Wednesday

I barely slept last night too, I just cant get comfortable back is aching. Ive noticed it when I am doing night feeds and having to Malita out of the cot and when I am getting her out off the bath too.

Anyway today was an early morning start as we headed to a 9:30 playgroup which is every two weeks for us. Helps with my German and generally a good environment for Malita and I.

Breakfast: Cinnamon Oats(HEB), 250ml SS Milk(HEA), Raspberries, WW Yogurt

After playgroup meet up with a friend and went walking around town and a trip to a playground for Malita to have a swing....she loved it...bless her.

Lunch: Banana, Kellogs Chewy Delight(HEB)...thats what I packed in my handbag & Diet Coke

Dinner: Beef marinated: garlic, soy sauce, teriyak sauce(1.5SYNS)...hubby chucked in on the grill...tasty...
60g Couscous
Salad. lettuce, peppers, cucumber, cherry tom, 100g Cottage Cheese(1SYN)

No picture of dinner as memory is full of all the pics i take of Malita...hehe

TOTAL: 1 x HEA, 2 x HEB, 2.5 SYNSTomorrow is also a early start as we head to our ladies meeting, we have having a brunch. Everyone brings something. I baked a banana loaf to take. I have barely used my SYNS today which will probably come in handy for trying others goodies.
 
Sounds like a lovely day and another good one tomorrow. Hope your back starts to feel better soon if not worth getting some treatment before it gets worse (my partner is a physio so I get lectures about it), it is especially hard after carrying the baby inside then carrying her around now they start gaining weight - def takes the toll on the body x

Was truly a great day.

Defo need to sort it out, I will be seeing the doc next week. I had seen him at the beginning of the year. He said back pain was expect but if it carried on to return and he will refer me to physio.

Your right though they are gaining weight and getting heavier I definitely noticed that this week....means she growing up

So i will say I had HEA & HEB & 15SYNS...just throwing all my syns on it just in case.

I don't envy you at all....the lack of sleep does take its toll. Cooked two quiches before 7am...only a mother can say that surely.

Have fun at the parties today, Sebby will enjoy playing with all the other kids.

Hi, my dad uses an infer red light you put up your nose to stop his hay fever not the most attractive but you can use it when bf. I had a reaction to the blood clotting drugs and needed antihistamines but was told not to breastfeed or cope with the itching, I was given an emollient to use on the skin but not on the rash on the breasts. I coped but was horrible.

I hope tonight is better for you I know the feeling when you wake up realising you have buttoned everything up wrong on the baby.

I feel for you when your partner is away, Baz is working away till Wed but driving each day so sets off at 7 and will get back after 8 so better than totally being away but still little help xx
 
Forgot to say good luck with weigh in x

I'll try cope with it as i managed last year when I was pregnant

Its so boring without hubby, his now been gone 6 hours and I am missing him :-( luckily its not for long and he rarely travels away too.
 
My dad is home from hols next Tuesday so if the suffering gets to much I can get details from him. It wasn't to expensive and it works for him.
Glad he doesn't go away to much for you. I have been terrible at the moment asleep by 7.30/ 8 ish as nights are so bad don't see my poor partner at all much at the moment bless him x
