Know that feeling @Zampa, I’ve only showered and dressed in the last hour! I find I have to choose - do I want to nap, shower, do washing up, express some milk, do laundry or just sit and stare in to space during the window of time that Matilda lets me put her down! Everyone tells me it is normal to be in pjs all day!
Oh @Ginger I hope it helps you, the first couple of days were just learning how to adapt to it, she still hasn’t got used to having bottles again, but I’m just grateful she can nurse now and actually seems to be satisfied after, instead of feeding for sometimes hours at a time and still crying in hunger after like she was before! Joseph may have wind from not being able to latch well, Tilly did and it has already improved, she would make a clicking noise when she fed before and it has stopped now.
Tilly’s tongue tie was mild and @Lydia the lady that assessed her said mild ones can actually be more problematic. She used her finger to test Matilda’s latch and said you could tell by her lips after and how tight she was having to grip on to latch how much she was struggling. It sounds like you may well be having the same issue and having Liliana’s tongue tie cut could really help you! My nipples were absolutely burning it was agony through every feed. Well done for keeping going, I couldn’t bear it and was expressing milk in to bottles before the tie was cut. Fingers crossed this is a miracle solution for you!
Has anyone had any early smiles?? I thought it wasn’t possible but so many people have seen it and said it is real smiles she is doing, tonight when DH got home from work I said “ooh it’s Daddy!” And she did the biggest smiles it was so sweet and made little excited noises.
