great thread! mervs mum has been quite encouraging in the thread i posted a few days back. i'm glad to see more moms are around to help those who are just starting the journey.

i'd love to have mervs mum as my champion... if she's available. i'm not adverse to having someone else, though, who might be available or more into the needs i have right now.

thanks again for this thread, ladies. i might've given up without this forum & the very encouraging words in the thread i started a few days back.

cheers.
 
I'm a bit sad that this threads not getting much more activity
 
I'm happy to help Butrfly. :)

Dont forget Sarah - I bet most of the regulars in the BF board are actually the people who have volunteered to help. I think this one will be a long term slow burner type scenario. ;)
 
thanks mervs mum. i received your pm & have sent my reply.

:)
 
I'd actually appreciate having an expressing champion! I have been expressing about 3-4 times a week, but I'd like to increase it and would benefit from some cheerleading support I think, someone to nudge me along and get me trying at least once a day if not more.
 
Hi! :wave:

My little man was born on Saturday and came home yesterday. In hospital he was on 3-hourly feeds until midnight, then a break till 6am. I was keen to keep this regime but it only lasted for 1 feed! He then got hungry again in an hour and has been feeding from 1-3 hours since then, including overnight where he fed at 12, 1, 2 and 3.

He was in a separate nursery in the hospital, so I don't know if he woke up in the night or not.

I could really use some help getting him off to a good start rather than this constant suckling. I bf my daughter for 6 months but I was just guessing what to do & the start was rocky. I really want to try to get things running smoothly more quickly this time, so would love a champion to give some hints!

Thanks girls! :hug:

Hi,

I was wondering if you could help me? My little boy was born 5 weeks prem and was in scbu for 2 weeks. We are now home and he has gained good weight but I am really struggling to settle him through the night. Not sure if he has colic but would love to chat to someone. Also, he doesn't seem to feed for very long (only 20 mins) but he is gaining weight. Is that ok?

Thanks
