I woke up this morning soaked through my breast pads and in so much pain because my breast was like a football. Ugh!

 

[pola17]

Scottish,

Would love to see Hama's smile!

 

[borr.dg.baby]

HH be careful with the cabbage I've heard it can dry your supply

Scottish great news about smiling! It's the best feeling in the world

Baby hopes

 

[HHenderson]

From what that website says that's not true. It only reduces swelling and does not affect your milk supply at all. As long as baby is sucking milk out it will keep coming. guess I will have to test it to know for sure.

I had Mason weighed today, he's 11lb 4!considering he dropped to 8lb 5 that's almost 3lb in under a month.

Sleep deprivation is the worst! I actually had good night but still feel shattered!

I plan on starting diet/exercise plan in new year - I have a lot to lose!!

that is fab

my little guy has only come back to his birth weight HN was out yesterday and weighed him he is still so tiny not used to this at all. at least he is gaining though!

I went to a la leche league meeting today they were lovely really enjoyed it could have stayed and chatted for ages, the LC had a look in Ryans mouth deffo TT so think I will get the a letter so I can get it fixed he sometimes hurts me and I am thinking it is the cause of his slow weight gain

Angel so glad she is ok and hope you get answers so you wont have any more worries

Mac I will deffo go back to zumba, need to do some serious work on my pelvic floor before hand

Thanks Celtic! Looking like around 8hrs!! Thinking it's not worth it. I went to a new bf support group today too Phoebe loved it, especially as they had a woman from a music class doing a demonstration! Phoebe was at the front with the leader!

Sooz that's epic weight gain! You supplementing steriods in with the milk

Lol xx

Great weight gain sooz! Hama Also has put on 3lb as he dropped to 6lb 7oz and now 9lb 8oz woop

How long does your Los feed for on breast at each feeding? Hama is still feeding must of the time but had been slowly having breaks in between over past few days so I am still hopeful he will continue to improve! Also been taking less formula so that's also great meaning he's getting more from me!

Pola I have been trying to get a pic if him smiling but never have my fone! However as soon as I do I will post here hehe

What happens at the breastfeeding support groups? There's one near me but not sure what to expect if I went!

we just chatted and if any one has a problem the LC try and help it was very friendly and relaxed

 

[Sooz]

At our groups (I go to a couple) we talk, eat and drink and someone is on hand if you need help or have any questions about anything. Mostly I go for the on tap tea lol!

 

[babyhopes2010]

any pregnant ladies still left?

 

[pola17]

Lol Scottish, I know it's hard! I just could for the first time and Mika is almost 1 month!

BTW... Mikael was born on a Wednesday. Yesterday was his 4th Wednesday. He was born on the 7th... So the month counted as the 4th Wednesday ir by the 7th of September?

 

[HHenderson]

Left breast only. WTF!? Cannot wait to buy cabbage tomorrow.

 

[pola17]

Wow HHenderson!!

 

[HHenderson]

Exactly! !

 

[bella21]

afternoon ladies how is everyone?

pola i think it would go by the 7th and not the 4th week

chase had a good night with sleeping again last night, only woke twice. good thing he sleeps at night because he was awake from 10:30 to 2 today! he fights his sleep so bad

heres some pics of chase i realized i only posted them on fbook...and some postpartum pics ! can't wait to start exercising again!

 

[JenzyKY]

Henderson I'm jealous of pumping like that. I get 2 oz MAX per breast. I'm afraid I won't be able to feed him the days I work.

Pola, I did his month with the number not weeks.
