Happy Sunday everyone
lilstarry - the best thing to do about upping your supply is to feed, feed and feed somemore, the more the baby sucks the more milk you will produce. Your boobs will never go empty. Talia will have a feed but then I know she is comfort sucking have tried a dummy but she has sussed that it's not mummy now.
Nappiesgalore - don't blame you about not going out with 3 of them I feel like that with 2, we went for a shop on Friday and it was such a hassle with the double buggy etc, Talia slept all the way there and back and Abbie was a star holding Talia's hand and making all the women coo over them in M&S.
Mum21- I think Sophie Abigail (bit baised) or Sophie Louise are lovely names, what about going a bit more unusual as it's a middle name? Or your name or a family member?
Talia's general pattern is to cluster feed in the evening sleep at about 10pm then go through to about 2am quick feed then up again at 5am both sides then again at 8am. So it's not too bad. We are cosleeping but using the bedside cot for a bit of extra room too. I think I am a bit more chilled out about the frequent feeding/cosleeping as I know it is only a phase and it won't last.
Bought myself some new feeding bras too 34DD so not too bad, have lost 2 stone in 2 weeks though. Still have another half stone to go but not at all bothered about it, I'm in my normal clothes now and apart from the jelly belly look ok. Won't have time for the gym or anything so it will be walks and using the ab trainer thing when I can.
I'm the opposite with the HV, don't think they have much to do up here as it's so different to down south, I had 2 visits from her last week and will have another this Weds. I wouldn't let her wake Talia on Monday as I had just settled her and the MW had weighed her on Sat, think she was a little cross. She's nice enough but I feel they do treat you as if you are stupid sometimes.
DP goes back to work on Tuesday and I am dreading it as he has been such a big help, he's been getting up with Abbie at 7am and sorting her out which means I get extra sleep and give Talia her first feed in bed. Suppose I will just have to get on with it, leave the housework, live in a cesspit for a few months oh well.
Hope everyone else is doing well, better get off here DP is like "are you tyoing war and peace?"
