Another one here who loved BFing, fed DS until he lost interest at about 14/15 months. And really soooo convenient. I did have trouble getting DS to start in the first few days, he kept falling asleep, but after about 3 days was fine. And used Lansinoh for first couple of weeks, until my nips just seemed to get used to it, there were no probs at all after that. And I didn't need breast pads really, had the occasional leaking moment, but mostly in night when DS was starting to sleep for longer. Anyway, it's just lovely doing it, and gives you opp to just sit and cuddle and watch TV !
I also had a disturbed night. DS woke at 5am this morning 'I want my daddy!' Luckily DH is v good at going to him in the mornings. But I got a bit stressed with him, I told him not to engage DS in conversation, just sit there and tell him to go back to sleep. Within minutes, he was up out of the cot, and screaming to go downstairs. Just leave him in the cot FGS!! Otherwise he thinks it's time to get up. Eventually DH took him downstairs, when I came down at 7.15 (bearing in mind we need to be out the door by 8.30), DH had given DS brekkie, but hadn't had any himself. Or changed DS's nappy. So then obviously DS wants more breakfast with daddy. So I'm saying hurry up, eat up, get dressed, brush teeth, and feel like I'm rushing them, but really, thanks for getting up so early, but we also have to get out the house, and you've had 2 hours with him, and not done anything! Argh. Feel all unreasonable now, but was really peed off at the time.
Anyway, we had our scan this morning, happily placenta has moved up and out of way, and baby growth is all fine. It's still a boy! So I'm now happy and hope the rest of my pregnancy and birth will be all lovely, relaxed and normal...!!
YW, glad you like the Gap babygro, I was quite tempted myself!
