it is so hard! especially if they seem hungry you feel bad for not being able to satisfy their hungry. i feel really bad when ive given cleo formula because i feel dissapointed in myelf which is silly as i would never ever think bad of anyone else FF so why wen its me i feel like a failure! im not sure i can get enough milk back now? how long can the feeding all dy and night stage last, weeks?

 

[BattyNora]

Don't feel guilty...at the end of the day you're feeding your child, something NO ONE should ever feel guilty for. I know it's easier said than done but please don't feel like a failure. Look at your avatar - how on earth can that beauty be classed as a failure!?!

I'm confused about expressing and when to introduce right now. I don't want to do anything to make it harder for us and jeopardise her latch. She's so good and has made it as easy as possible for me I don't want to screw it up!

ive been told to try and express when coreys about 4 weeks old and maybe introduce a bottle or two. there are special bottles that act just like a nipple with regards to it being the same sucking to get the milk out but cant remember what they are called. i already bought tommie tippie bottles so ile be trying them.

coreys latching isnt the best so ive been worried about making things harder

Hello.

I have finally had enough time to sit and write my birth story if any one wants to read.

Isla is doing great still, really pleased with her night time feeds, she had a feed about 9:30, woke about 2:30am for a feed and went straight back down and then woke again around 6:30am which is about the time im usually getting up any way

Edit as ive just caught up on the thread

AuntBug that is fantastic news so pleased for you

There are some gorgeous photos flying around!! We have such cute babies in here

Hi there! quick update: Cullen James was born 8/14 at 11:30 pm, 6lbs. 11oz. He is doing well though breastfeeding has been really tough so far. I have had to express for the last few days which I find very tedious. I will check back in later and GL to everyone!

 

[AuntBug]

Congrats SammieGrace! I'm pumping for Taylor while she's in the nicu, I'm way over it. So tedious.

And kylar is potty training, and going through a clingy stage... therefore, never get to sit down!! Congrats to all the moms who gave birth in my absence!

I joke that I have one up my butt and one on the boob, 24/7... LOL! Its true though!!

[xxyjadexx]

Congrats sammiegrace!

Moomin I saw the bottles like your talking about advertised, they are made by medela and supposedly have minimum impact on breastfeeding

 

[xsarahbellax]

Congrats too all new mums & babies!

Well, nothing happening here, not even a teeny tiny twinge, so I'm off to be induced in hospital this afternoon. A million miles from the waterbirth I had planned at the local midwife led unit, but I've gradually got my head around it. Eeeeeek.. nearly baby time!!

 

[Mummy~L]

Good luck Sarah!! Look forward to hearing your updates!! Xx

 

[AuntBug]

Good luck Sarah, hope it all goes smoothly.
