Jolley try expressing some breastmilk on to the nipple let the air at it as well, might be worth while double checking latch on sore nipple but also try different breastfeeding positions to help take pressure off sore point of nipple . My left one was sore and blistered but is ok now :)

Scottish never judge what your getting from pumping as what baby gets they are much better at getting milk out and for every onze you express they get double that. What about a soother hun may be he wants to suck I like Bar idea of weighing before and after a feed if your worried about what he is getting. But if he is getting lots of wet nappies and is gaining weight then he is getting enough . My 3rd baby was the same I don't know how I lasted bf him but it was around the 6 week mark it just got easier and easier and I think he was 23 months when I weaned I was 10 weeks pregnant with my daughter then he wod not take a soother or a bottle acted like soms one poisoned him . Fx he settles some what for you soon I would try a soother for sure or feed him lying down so you can get up and move with out disturbing him.
 
Going in tomorrow morning for my c-section! Getting nervous!
Hope everyone is doing well. :hugs:
Will update when I get home from the hospital.

My left nipple is split and hurts so bad! :cry: I have been putting lanolin on it trying to get it to heal but it's taking forever. Any suggestions on how to make it heal quicker?

Jolley I had a spot that was cracked and bleeding on one of my nipples and, if this isn't what you're already doing, I read to express some breast milk and rub that on your nipple first and let that air dry then put lanolin on it. Once I started doing the breast milk + lanolin that's when I finally got it to heal. Also, be sure to use to lanolin before you shower as I found it to be worse after showering if I didn't use it to protect it in the shower.
 
Celtic and Morebabies thanks for the tips, I will have to try those:flower:

Stargazer goodluck!

Bella FX you go into labor tonight! :thumbup:

I'm so tired I hope my baby lets me sleep tonight
 
having contractions 20-30 minutes apart for the past 2 hours now. hoping they get stronger and closer together! will keep you ladies updated if they turn into anything :)
 
ooh exciting bella! good luck, thats how my labour started with my dd :)

stargazer good luck hope all is going well xxx

celtic i do give him a dummy which he takes but he always realises soon after theres no milk in it :haha: i will keep going with bf in the hope it will get easier over next week or so. i have my last midwife coming today to weigh him so shall see if this feeding is actually doing some good to his weight!

barhanita i to would suggest swaddling at night but you do that anyway, hama doesnt really sleep at all so i know how hard it is. it will get easier though so try and remember that :hugs:
 
Good luck stargazer!

Bella I hope something is kicking off for you.

Do any UK ladies know of you can get lactulose over the counter? My BM are not right, in fact it's getting excruciating and I'm bleeding every time I do manage to go. :cry:
 
stargazer good luck today :hugs:

Bella-I hope its something for you. :)

Babies seem to come in waves in here! :haha: Mines on Thursday so hopefully someone has a baby tomorrow as well.
 
Hello Ladies!

Sorry I've not been around... forgot how busy a newborn makes you - plus I've had the blues and BF'ing issues. Went to a support group yesterday and it helped me loads and then went and had some retail therapy, buying a wardrobe full of baby girl clothes.. plus got 4 hrs sleep last night :happydance: So I'm baaaack!! :) Thanks for all the congratulation messages BTW!

Zooma - super duper congrats and I also love the name!

So nice to see all the pics of the older babies too!

Good luck Bella - I hope that this is it for you and it goes quick!

Heres a pic of Melody for those not on my Facebook ..

Will try to stay up to date from now on! :thumbup:

Lol xx
 
Lol, yuor girls are beautiful.

Good luck for everyone who is about to have a baby!
 
Lolpants! Melody is gorgeous, glad u feeling a bit better now I also had the blues but thankfully they passed!

I had midwife today but she didnt weigh him since health visitor coming thurs, so I am none the wiser if he's gaining. She said he's feeding well so weight must be fine. She also gave me a number for tongue tie clinic as Hama has tongue tie and said its possible that even though his latch is good the tongue tie may be preventing him from emptying my breasts causing the constant feeding. I wish now I pushed for him to be weighed :( . I have left a voicemail message with the tongue tie doc so hopefully they will get back to me ASAP!

Xxx
