hi again!

Stalk away!

How is your little one doing? Is it all as exhausting as people say?

 

[Rozz1e1]

Shes fab ty huni :-D she is gaining weight well and feeding well iv having to combi feed as she wont latch on properly unless I wear nipple shields but yhen she feeds for nigh on 2 hours so cant always do thay so she has formula also which I have finally stopped beating myself up about! You have so many ideas how u want it to go but you have to b guided by your baby, it is exhausting but share it with ure partner or friends xxx

Is it really as bad as the horror stories suggest?

Is having a newborn really that difficult?

How do you cope without sleep!

Is labour really that painful?

...Can you tell I'm getting nervous now!

Heya huni

Labour is painful, and it is the most painful thing I have felt...however...trust your body and trust that you can do it, because you can do it and your body is a miraculous tool and you need to put your faith in it, also there is pain relief there, use it if you need to and dont feel bad if you use it!!

Newborns are difficult but only because you are learning about them and they are learning about you, but it does come and its amazing how much you learn and how quick you learn it!

The sleep deprivation is difficult but you need to utilise the help around you, whether its ure mum or partner or friend to help you xxx

I think my final advice i can think of and Im no expert its not to beat yourself up if things dont go the way that you wanted when you were pregnant.
I wanted to exclusively breastfeed but 3 days in and my lg was feeding hourly and screaming hourly and was jaundice, she had to have some formula becasue she didnt latch on and only latches on now with nipple shields, but thats better than nothing and makes me feel better! She has top ups of formula where neccessary and I express each feed, buy an electric pump they are immense!! xxxx
