The pumping issue surprises me. I gave up expressing with Caelan as I was so disillusioned with the amount I would get - 2oz or so. With Eden, my first, I could easily express 10, 12+oz in a sitting and figured this was the norm! I remember NICU joking they had no room left in their freezer but I didn't think they meant it was unusual!

I'm not going to lose heart so easily this time when I come to give it a go!

girls I am freaking out!! I was bathing Ryan and I noticed he has quite a large lump behind his left nipple I had noticed it before but it never clicked till tonight his nipple looks open as well deffo not the same as his right what the hell could it be I am afraid to google its seems to have changed was not like that before today

 

[borr.dg.baby]

Bella you look great! A little jealous

Guess who's sleeping in her room for the first time tonight?




Oh and a PP photo, this is 7 weeks

Celtic can you ring his dr and ask? Googling will probably make it worse

 

[Scottish]

Celtic I am not sure but possibly it could be due to hormones? I've heard of baby's even boys getting some hormones through breast milk which can cause even slight milk production in their nipples. However I would defo speak to hv or gp I get it checked out. Big hugs I would be exact the same as well xxx

[borr.dg.baby]

Can you ring tomorrow? Sorry I know it's so frustrating to have a question unanswered regarding baby

Scottish thanks... I am sure she will look big in it at some point and I will have the picture to compare I also take some of her in her swing and car seat so I can compare and see how she grows!

yep your right , I asked in one of the facebook groups I am in, figured some one would have come across it before and they have one lady found this for me https://www.m.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/your-newborn-baby-breast-lumps, some others have had babies with the same thing and even produced milk that is so crazy lol

feel so much better now, was seriously considering rushing him to hospital right now to get him checked

 

[Scottish]

Am glad you feeling better I would have been the same! Yes it does Sound crazy, I couldn't believe it when my friend told me it happened to her lo! He was a boy as well. I think they have lots of hormones going through them at thus stage so will take time to settle down

Borr that's a good idea to take pics of her in cot to see how much she grows. Hope she sleeps well for you xxx

Another jaundice test? Yikes! Poor baby. My LO still has it a bit. I dont want to give her too much window light, its like 90 here everyday. So I only do it twice a day and her eyes are still a bit yellow and shes two weeks today. I hope his jaundice has gone down.

 

[bella21]

thanks Borr, so do you!! Hope Isabella sleeps great for you tonight in her crib!!

 

[JolleyGirl86]

Hhenderson that is lots of milk! I made lactation cookies today to increase my supply!

Celtic that would be scary! But sounds like its nothing bad thankfully

Jenzy I also can only pump around 2oz from each breast

I used to go to Zumba before I got pregnant too and loved it! I worked out tons so I'm excited to get back to it. Does anyone know how long it takes for the linea nigra to go away? I still have mine and it's dark

 

[pola17]

Celtic: sounds so scary! I hope it's nothing!

 

[JenzyKY]

Celtic, I hear girls can have little periods too! Crazy.

I've gotten rid of 99% of Henry's cradle cap!!! And his hair is growing back!! The dandruff shampoo worked so fast!

 

[Sooz]

We do month on number as well. It's weird with Paige being born 31st though as not all months have 31 days.

I'm inclined to think hormones too celtic. Paige had a period after birth!

HH if I use my electric pump I get similar, that would be less than 5 minutes work right now. Mason is learning to deal with it. X

Ladies, I have a question. In the mornings Raptor has a bottle and a short nap, awake and active for a while then a 30-45 minute nap followe by a bottle, and after that he is awake but sleepy and naps for a while, then he just wakes up for his next two bottles napping in between and not active. After his last bottle(around 9 give or take) he is wide awake and active. During his afternoon naps I try to wake him up by keeping him in theliving room with the TV and lights on, changing his diaper, playing music and nothing work and he is still active at bedtime...any suggestions? He also falls asleep for every tummy time after just a few minutes of being on his stomach he is so comfy.
