I feel so lucky never to have suffered cracked nips, bf is enough of a thing to get through the first few weeks without all the agony or sore nips, thrush and mastitis, really feeling for you lasses and RESPECT that you keep going
Well Finn is doing good, 2 hrs feeding during the day - he is a heck of a size already, popping out of clothes, newborn nappies not looking too comfy round his podgy little thighs either!!! We're well into the next size up and beyond clothes wise...
He has been a little grumpy today between feeds so have been racing around with him in baby carrier and hoovering, which he seems to like... He pukes if he feeds more than 2 hrly but is a sucky baby... thumb sucker in the womb and confusion until he is coordinated enough to find his thumb means he likes to sit on my nork frequently, with such massive oversupply and fast let down poor little guy gets mighty pissed off with me! He refuses flatly a dummy (which is annoying as it worked for his sucky big sister until she found her thumb)
So much to HV's shock I sleep him on his tummy where he is always near his hands
Result = Very easy to settle to bed!!!! He goes down awake and gets himself off to sleep
Hooray!
only ever going maximum of 3 hrs at night, but joy he does not poo at night so nap changes are only every 2nd feed... 10 minutes feeding and I'm done so feeling QUITE lucky!
My issue "down below" with the erm ahh boils has gone!!! Still annoyed with how much I'm bleeding - 3 wks tomorrow and thought it had stopped only to reappear today
weight falling off me presume thats cos Finn is voracious feeder? Am supplemeting with Haagen Das in
order to keep up the calories
Right he's up must dash
