I love my moby wrap sling, though it can be a little sweaty. I have a soft fleecy coat that stretches over the top so I can go for walks or shops and keep the wind away from us. I can recommend going to a sling meet, it was really handy to get a good idea of what fits. I was given a babasling but my huge boobs took over and couldn't find room for a baby to snuggle in. I love the look of the ergo, a friend is bringing her's to toddler group on wednesday for me to look at... excited to try something different.
defo cut nails when they are asleep, usually just after a good boobing is a good time for us. I trim with clippers and then file off the rough bits. DD loves having her nails done now at 2, she snuggles on my lap and I trim and file, I have a nice tea tree cream to rub in afterwards and sometimes she's allowed a bit of nail polish.
I popped into Bath with Wilf while MiL had DD at Gymnastics. Was meant to be buying nursing bras, it was an unsuccessful trip, but bought some lovely stuff in H&M for Wilf and Bea. I'm hoping he'll not grow too much in the next few weeks, need to make what little we have got last until the next NCT sale comes up.
faith it wasn't until Wilf puked the other day that I realised how much milk he got in a feeding session. He's done in under 10 minutes. My milk flows so fast, if he pops off the boob it streams out like a hole in a water balloon and it only stops if I slightly pinch the nipple. It's why his latch has been so sore, it's because he sucks so fiercely, sets off my forceful let down and then the milk just flows out of the nip without too much actual sucking. I am happy he doesn't want to spend hours at the boob, he comes off quite content.
On another note, my stitches for my tear are starting to dissolve and it seems to be unravelling, it's okay on most of my perineum but where it travels up the wall of vagina, the surface stitches have dissolved and left it a little ragged looking. I know it will heal in the end, I had a ragged episiotomy after my stitches dissolved in a few days. But was hopeful that a tear would hold together a bit longer. My lochia disappeared for a couple of days, but it's now back. The more active I am the more I bleed, I've been doing my Pelvic Floor exercises and my pilates core moves too. My cervix still feels really low and open and after a quick feel around the other night I felt a couple of minor tears/grazes internally. We DTD last time at about 8 weeks, though my friend had a 3rd degree tear and DTD at 5 weeks to make sure it was all operational when going to the 6 week check up.
Before DD I was on the Depo injection. After DD we knew we wanted another one so didn't bother being careful and I BF'd DD to 15 months, fell pg when she was 18 months. Don't know what to choose, hormones usually make me gain weight and become emotionally unstable. Just don't know what's best, so I think condoms will need to be purchased... just not right now.
