So gorgeous!

Kezzy put on 200g in one week, pediatrician says since she is nearly back to birth weight, formula top ups are very unlikely! Also my parenting journal is in my siggie

That's great

Woohoo! My waters broke at 4.15am and Reuben was born at 12.44 this afternoon. Got the water birth I wanted and couldn't be happier with my baby!

yay yay yay! :woho: Super big congrats!

I made a calendar of Josie pics..and thought I'd share…

Fantastic idea and such cute pics!

Hey all. Congratz mummiepie. So ive switched to formula as well. i was doing good with BF all the way up to a few days before we got her tounge tie fixed. It started hurting so bad i was pretty much in tears so i started using formula. and lost pretty much my whole milk supply. so im pretty much only formula feeding but when my boobs get full i BF her even tho its usually only every couple days .. it makes me a little upset cuz i love breastfeeding. i wish i knew if there was a way to get my supply back up before i dry up. my infection in my incesion is gone im pretty much all healed up besides one little dot. My lil Princess is doing good. I hope everyone else and babies r doing great!!

Try contacting la leche league - i'm sure they'll be able to help you. Otherwise i've heard lots of good things about kellymom.com

Amanda, you can try fenugreek, which is a natural herb that increases your supply and have oatmeal. Increasing your iron helps increase your supply. Also, your doctor can prescribe an anti-motion sickness med that increases lactation...I know what you mean about the sore nips...I nursed through it as Josie has a killer latch, but they are now tough and it doesnt hurt at all (after weeks of cracked bleeding and me literally being afraid of the minute she first latches). Hope you find what works for you...stressing about your supply will also diminish it. Also, the more time she spends on the breast (even if she isn't getting as much) helps increase the supply. Some dr's recommend taking a nursing vacation where all you do is rest nurse repeat. Helps get the supply up.

Qwk...HE is SO precious!!!! Hope things are going better for you in the sleeping department.

Don't get much time to always reply as normally typing one handed, but I do always read to keep caught up with everyone

ha ha on the one-handed - i bet we'll all be pros at it soon enough!

ooh - congrats!!!! i'm so jealous!!


afm, Jacob is 4 weeks old today - i can't believe it - this last week has flown by in comparison to the first 3 weeks, but that's probably b/c i'm not as stressed about the whole nursing fiasco...

hope everyone is doing well!!

Glad you found what works best for you.
