Me and Caine always cuddle up in bed, he loves it and cries until I do it

Its alot easier for me too, and lovely bonding and cuddles, plus you can sleep

JB, I have co-slept since Brenn was born, I could never stand not to have him near me. He has not been a good sleeper, no matter what I try, so co-sleeping has been the only way I could get any sleep. If it is working, then go for it.

 

[Jelly Bean]

Oh good...it wasn't the cosleeping thing that worried me. He only needed to sleep with us during the first 2 weeks of his life, since then he's been fine in his bassinette.

Evening Girls!

What a brilliant thread (AnnaBanana9 just pointed me here!)....

The reason Anna pointed me in the direction of you girls is because I would like to start BFing again. Deri is 16 weeks old now though so it's been a while

I don't want to go into everything here but I would like some assistance if anybody can help me?

Please???

I just have a quick question:

Saturday night I came down with a temperature and sore boob and figured I had a blocked duct. I've had it before (this pg and the last) but it went away quite quickly - first time I pumped it away and felt better within an hour, second time I massaged and although my temp came down quickly my boob was still sore for a day, but I thought that was likely because i was massaging very firmly.

This time was a bit different - no amount of massaging, hot compresses, frequent feeds, pumping shifted it and Saturday night & all day Sunday I was running a fever and boobie was killing me. I was all set to go to the doctors Monday morning, but I woke at 5am covered in sweat but feeling normal, and my temp had gone back down. Boob was still a bit sore.

My worry is that although I feel fine, could I still have a problem? I keep feeling my boob to see if it's soft like the other one and I'm feeling it so much I'm making it sore Also all the frequent feeds from that side have meant it's slightly larger than the other now and so feels harder when full, which gets me panicky a bit. So do you think that if I don't have a temp/rash I should be ok, and what's the best way to even up the old joanna's again? I can only relieve the bigger one by feeding from that side and I'm afraid to leave it and focus more on the other one in case the problem comes back. Does that make sense? Sorry, I feel I haven't put this into words very well!

ooh this is such a good idea, i would like a BF champion's help please, i am currently relactating and it would be sooo good to have a cheerleader to help me through it cos its bloody hard work lol

i wouldnt worry babe, i reckon uve sorted it, i think the best way to even them up again is to give a short feed on the smaller one (about10mins at the start of every feed) just so it knows you still want milk from it, and then carry on with feed, so 10mins on small one then normal feed on other
