typing with DD2 snuggled in my lap so a bit tricky so please excuse errors.
BB - I too can't stop eating! We visited FIL yesterday and had dinner there. They give out huge portions and I am usually really struggling and often don't finish what I have got and feel way too full after. But yeterday we had dinner, I still felt hungry and we then had birthday cake etc and still not full. We left a couple of hours later and I stopped and had a pasta salad and shortcake buscuit! Then drank loads of chocolate milk! TBH though, I want to get back onto slimming world soon, which should be good as you can eat as much as you like but it means I actually cook proper food and don't eat so much crap. We have eaten a lot of junk over the last few weeks or so.
WIth the feeding. A MW has just been round - much nicer than the last one. She has helped me and explained quite a bit about where I was going wrong and showed me better positioning. Still had a little trouble when she had left but won't really know until the next feed. DD2 has lost about 6-7% of her birth weight - she said they can loose up to 10% but still sounded a bit concerned. Does anybody know what they normal is?
Feeling a bit sorry for DD1. As we have been out of the house most of the time, she hadn't really noticed DD2 being here. But today we are at home and she keeps trying to pull me to take me to x,y or z but I am feeding etc so can't and I have to keep telling her to take DH instead.
I am desperate for a wee but DD2 is soo snuggled in my lap. She is still only in her nappy since she was weighed but is all curled up in my against my bear tummy so skin to skin. Her skin is so dry and this is the first time it has really had a chance to air so will be good for her.
She also still has jaundice. The midwife said to put her in the sun as much as possible, which she is at the moment. With this - does it matter what she is wearing? Ie should she have no clothes on so the sun gets to all her skin or is fully clothed ok? My house isn't the warmest and don't really want to have to put me heating on. It will dry her skin out more if anything.
MW also said I should be waking her for feeds at night, but I am not too sure. She sleeps for 6 hours ish at a go which I love because if we go to bed at 12pm then that means I obviously get to sleep till 6am and even then she sometimes just feeds and goes back down till DD1 wakes up.
