April 2007 - feeling broody already? shoot me now ................

[EllieK]

not feeling terribly imaginative but wanted to get a new thread going so i could send out the round-up

Someone asled me about expressing - I think I just have a BIG milk supply, I'm v.lucky..... I express about 9pm when P has been in bed a couple of hrs and I know she's not going to wake up for a couple more ..... Your milk supply increases with demand, so by expressing regularly, I am increasing my milk supply, iyswim!!? Also the bottle of EBM I give as a feed means my boobs fill but I don't use the milk in them as she's having a bottle ..... does this make any sense at all!!? I express from both sides & I've never worried that I might run out of milk - "Supply & Demand" .... I know it is not the same for everyone though - I wish I could zap everyone with my Super Boob Vibes, esp you atm Elkie .......

after last night i most definitely do not want any super boob vibes thanks. won't say more, but there'll be an email

Uh Oh!!

My email with pics has been sent - hope you all get it ok!

got it!
please tell me that you gave MIL the flowers to hold after without telling her where they'd been?

Just to join in here's my dc's!www.picturetrail.com/eddas

stop with the cute girls already, it's almost enough to make me want a girlie, but not quite!

Awww, Eddas - you DC's are cute, cute, cute .....

How old is your DD? She's gorgeous!

I feel much the same about boys Ellie .... so now you have seen the pics, do you still wanna come & stay!!!?

WARNING - you will be

bloody men!

PMSL Pesha, your inbox is full

Off to read now ......

Pleeeeeeeease tell me P will sleep for longer than 5 mins at some point today!

Joe slept all morning for my gran, awake now

P didn't sleep ALL DAY yesterday & is looking to do the same today .... argh!!

So do you give formula for feeds when you leave Joe with someone or what? Confused!!

hating being on my own today
want a roast dinner but that would mean cooking

and feeling guilty cos it's fathers day and joe's with me

no, left her with EBM
why confused?

Oh right - sorry - just the other day you said you didn't express regularly enough .... just wondered - you must store it up! Is your freezer full??

Who guilty that Joe's with you? Did you offer for Justin to have him? Did Justin offer?

i was xpressing daily to start with so yes, freezer full!

and i don't go out often, not even once a week and only for one feed, which i then express as i take the pump with me!

was very amsing to leave the club, sit in car expressing, go back in!

actually, I am juust a pair of norks really, aren't i

I was just being nosey, tis all! Did your gran have him overnight?

shortage of milk wasn't a problem at the start though I wasn't able to express as much as mentioned. My milk came in within 2 or 3 days of the birth and was dripping. It started to dry up in hospital, and although I was prescribed something to increase milk supply that wasn't actually on the basis of identifying how my milk supply compared with that of other bf'ing women - that wasn't something which could have been assessed at that point.

Then though Danny was fed mostly formula apart from what I could express through tubes and then from bottles, and the supply and demand thing got gradually broken down.
