Borr, I love the photos. She is soooo pretty.

Jenzy, sorry about a day like that.

Scottish, Lena's tongue tight was pretty bad and she wasn't getting any food at all. But once they fixed it we trained her to use her tongue correctly (with our fingers) and now she definitely knows!

HH, yay! You baby must be born by now, exciting.

So Lena has been at the breast for a week now - yay! And I boosted up my supply with fenugreek and lactation cookies. BUT. Now I have oversupply and forceful let-down. So she is very fussy, gassy and spits up a lot. I hope it will regulate. No more lactation cookies for me (they are SOO good). And I am starting to block-feed. I hope she doesn't have a reflux.

Also, we went to the beach. It is an hour long drive on a windy road. We went there and walked, and then had dinner at a nice pub. Very challenging with a fussy hungry baby who constantly spits up! But totally worth it. Now we have our first family picture.

gorgeous pic barhanita! and well done on the breastfeeding! i am hoping if they snip hamas tongue tie he to will feed better, fingers crossed!

 

[Sooz]

Lovely picture Bar, your wrap is stunning too! Do you let your let down off into a muslin to start with? I find that helps when Mason struggles with it.

 

[onebumpplease]

Bar I love your pic and the fact that you all had such a lovely day out as a family :-D

 

[borr.dg.baby]

Lovely picture bar!! Sounds like such a great time

 

[lolpants]

I've sent a friend request too borr.

Good luck Henderson!

Lovely pic bar!

I've been using that cream.. they are up and down.. it's cos I have to use nipple shields and I don't think I position them right each time?

Lol xx

Good luck Hhenderson!

Bar love the pic! Glad the bf is going well!

What are lactation cookies?

 

[mac1979]

Henderson-happy birthday to your baby girl!

Bar-I am happy those cookies worked for you, they may have worked too well though. If you aren't too shy about feeding Lena in public there are videos on You Tube that show how to use the Moby for breastfeeding.

I have been trying to use my Moby but Darth Raptor is so long that he looks really uncomfortable in the newborn hug hold, he is tall and is really scrunched up in there, I am struggling to find another one for a newborn that works with big boobs, a skinny (ish) waist and a tall baby.

Jolley, if you want I can pm you the recipe for lactation cookies that I sent Bar when I get to my computer, they have a bunch of stuff to increase your supply and area super yummy.

 

[JolleyGirl86]

Mac that would be great thanks! Cookies that help your milk supply? Awesome

I have a boba wrap, I need to try it out. Hopefully I like it. Is it similar to the moby wrap? That would be great to be able to bf with it

 

[Scottish]

Mac could you send me the recipe for the lactation cookies as well please? I need to increase my supply as I am supplementing with formula just now so want to pump more

 

[JolleyGirl86]

Anyone else feel like they are always hungry and wanting to eat? I feel like my appetite is out of control!

 

[Barhanita]

Mac, what about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?featu...ture=player_embedded&v=R9Xq5MQT-w4&nomobile=1

Here are the cookies that Mac recommended. https://www.bellybelly.com.au/breas...eastmilk-lactation-cookie-recipe#.UhZVbWRxtrp
But I think it was the fenugreek that helped the most, as I started to smell so badly like maple syrup.

 

[Barhanita]

I am always hungry! I eat a lot and I am losing weight to the point were I am concerned for myself.

The cookies are great. But I would also recommend the fenugreek. It gives you and your milk awful maple syrup smell. But is helps right away.

 

[Sooz]

I'm eating like mad but loosing lbs overnight. To be fair I think I'm sweating it out as I have dreadful milk sweats, my hair was soaked this morning, and I still have a stone to lose anyway.

 

[CelticNiamh]

Bar delighted things are going so well, your milk will adjust to Lena needs must try the cookies thanks for sharing

Henderson hope all is well looking forward to your update

well photo shoot went great it was hard work getting Ryan to stay still and settle but we got some great shots so happy, I had a good day today nice walk in the sun and saw my friend as well. Ryan has been fussy enough today wants to feed loads, I gave him a soother earlier to help when we were getting pic taken, but want to wait longer so I do not confuese him to much
