, sorry you are having such a tough time and everyone is sick! Feel better!
have barely slept and leba will only fall asleep on me, so fed up o the dont cuddle her to sleep comments what else am i meant to do when shes crying so much she starts chocking and gagging
- so stoked but mildly panicked when I woke up as poor baby needed to eat - we had to wake him after the 6 hr stretch! Trying to keep him to the 2-3 hr naps during the day as that and the gripe water in the evening seems to set us up for good sleeps 
and poor Whitt peed today and it went in his mouth GAG
His longest ever! Then he had an 9 minute top-up at 10pm. I'm hoping this means we'll get a good night. 
TN the My Breast Friend pillow is definitely better than the Boppy. I wanted the MBF but when I went to Target all they had was Boppy and I needed one THAT DAY because I was so tired of using regular pillows lol. The Boppy works fine so I am pleased enough.
We have the Snugamonkey swing too! Weston loves it! Forgot about that one!
Weston is starting to break out of his swaddlers too lol...but he can only manage to get his arms out so I just let it go as after he finally gets them out he is so tired from the effort that he falls asleep!
Yay for Whitt passing his hearing test!!!!!!!!!
Great minds think alike! We have the snugamonkey swing, too! The matching snugamonkey bouncy chair is the one Blake likes so much. We got a deal at Target where the bouncy chair was free when you bought the swing.
Great news on Whitt's hearing test!!! TN - I'm actually hoping all these up and down the stairs help me lose some weight.
Whisper - if Lena is comforted by cuddles, I wouldn't listen to anyone else either. You're a good mom, and you know what she needs and likes!
Hope everyone has a better night tonight
Hey Fides, seems some women get lots of milk, others just don't? You're def not alone, you did your best!
I've felt sad my milk didn't come in for quite a while now, and I've just recently been able to start letting go of the disappointment and feeling that I was inadequate bc of it. Right after Blakes birth and the entire time 7 weeks he was in NICU, I pumped and pumped (with a hospital grade pump) 7-10 times a day, setting the alarm in the middle of the night and getting up to pump. Hardly got anything, averaged around 60-100 ml a day. At first, that was a few feedings for him when he was so little, but after about a month, my supply started going down as his feedings increased. I kept at it, determined to make it work, all the while some nurses at NICU started giving me a hard time as my supply dwindled. I won't go into it, but it was upsetting. I was trying the best I could, but it was so frustrating. I kept thinking, maybe my boobies didn't know Blake was mine (since he was in NICU and I only saw him a couple times a day), maybe when he came home, my boobies would realize oh, you did have a baby, and my milk would suddenly flow
i found reading other women's stories on the Fearless Formula Feeder blog helped a LOT last time around in making me feel normal - no one i know IRL couldn't BF, so reading stories of women who struggled really helped. to the ladies not getting much help. today was DH's last day off of work - he's back to work on Monday - dreading Monday!!
mummy finaly got 3 full hours un desturbed sleep
