Hi girls! Hope everyone is ok and Congrats to all the new mommies!!

Still in hospital and feeling rotten! Had first part of my transfusion tonight rest will follow in the morning!

My legs and feet are even bigger than what they were brfore if you can believe that?! I can hardly move them and have to squat to pee!

Ava is so gorgeous and sweet but having trouble bf'ing her as she wants to be latched on constantly just for pacifying sake! I've spent 6 hours tonight with her either screaming horrendously or being latched on and me being unable to move. She's the same all day and night and I'm very tired and my milk hasn't even come in yet. My nipples are bleeding and she bites down when she latches on so not sure if I'm going to continue bf'ing - feel like I'm failing her but there's no respite!

The mw's have had to take her to settle her tonight so I can get some rest! Hoping we can go home tomorrow though! Xx

Ness i know how you feel nipple wise. Mine bled n were so sore i just cried. If u can just kerp at it til ur milk comes in it will be soooooo much easier. I didnt make it to then because oliver stipped latchong n got poorly but dont let anyone make u feel guilty if u feel formula is best.

I never suffered from swelling but after birth my feet swelled up for a few days so i cant imagine how bad ur swelling must be.

You will be feeling so much better before u know it hun. All the pain ur in will be forgotten soon. After my million stitches going to the toilet became a mission n it hurt so badly but so long as u keep up on ur pain killers it will take the edge off.

Make the most of n enjoy any rest u can get! Xx

Ness- try lanolin for relief from the nipple pain. it helps soothe them. once your milk comes in, they will heal. i can't wait to see a picture!!!
My boy uses me like a soothie at night. we are their best source for comfort.

 

[Nessicle]

Thank you girls I'm gonna wait til my milk comes in and see what happens then - she just bites down so hard with her gums which is what's making them bleed and sore but least if I try to feed her when my milk comes in I'll feel like I've given it a good shot brfore formula!

Ducky could you upload a few piccies on here if Ava for me if you have chance from facebook?? Not sure when I'll be outta this joint lolm!

Hope you're both ok?

 

[nikki-lou25]

Ooh ness it sounds like you're havin a rough time! Hope u recover quickly! Bf'in is hard goin anyway sober doin well stuckin it out

 

[calliebaby]

Also , Ness, if you do the "football hold" make sure that her chin is level with your breast and not too up or down. Hold her by her back and not her neck. It should feel like a tugging, not a pinching.
I had to see a lactation consultant before I got it down and it stopped hurting. I was just doing it wrong. Breastfeeding is not as easy as it seems it should be.

 

[Nessicle]

Lol I'm having a right shitty time Nikki

Callie I have her laying across me as I've still got drips etc coming out everywhere but Mw said she's latched on perfect and the soreness is just from her 'biting' down

I've tried to put her down 3 times she's been latched on each nipple alternating since 3am - now 4.30am....

Think I'm gonna go to bottle dont think bf ing is fir me!

 

[Tanikit]

Ness congrats on your baby girl. You shouldn't be in pain from her biting down - she shouldn't really be biting down if she is properly latched as she should then be sucking correctly - is there a proper lactation consultant you could see if you want to carry on as they often have great solutions - another option is to move to a nipple shield that will stop the pain - it can be a mission to get off of one, but it is perfectly doable and can make things in the early days so much easier (and especially when the milk comes in which can be painful by itself)

 

[calliebaby]

i used the nipple shield to start with and he is now latching without it. my baby has been attached to my boob for 2.5 hours now. i feel your pain. lol
he uses me like a soothie at night to fall asleep.

 

[WILSMUM]

when u said transfusion hun did u mean blood transfusion? did u lose a lot of blood?

i lost a lot and was very close to needing a transfusion and the mw said to me that the loss of blood can cause u to not produce much milk.
after struggling with bf for 4 months with Wil it sounds to me like shes not getting enough from u and shes crying/unsettled cause shes hungry.

 

[Nessicle]

Yeah I lost a litre Anouska and my count is 7.3 I've had 1 bag last night and just having the other now
