Dancing- I have yet to try the side lying feeding position. It is hard when they won't sleep in anywhere but your arms! Does she like a swing at all? Sometimes they feel sort of "hugged" in there. <-- and I just saw that she doesn't take to it well : (
In Savannah's bassinet, I know they say to keep all objects out, after I lay her down swaddled, I put a rolled up blanket on both sides of her. It's been working well with her. And I forgot if I mentioned before, but I also elevated her bassinet mattress with a blanket underneath. They are still young, and as they do get older, you can change their habits with a bit of work. But right now it might be best to do what they like, if it keeps them sleeping.
Alandsa- yeah, Savannah needs to be burped or she'll wake up from her sleep, then it's back to starting all over again. I've said this befpre, but I'm really gonna to it this time
:I need to try and keep her up later tonight, since for the past, oh 4 nights, she's been having these "I want to stay up for 2 hours" bits. It may be due to going to bed to early, which is around 8 pm. Fingers crossed. But during that time, it seems she grunts and goes crazy on my boob, pulling it all around. I think it's because she feeds so much that my boobs are drained and she gets pissed off. I might try eating a small snack before bed to boost milk supply.
For the fast letdown, they say you can take her off the boob, catch the milk with a cloth, then put her back on it when the letdown is over .
B&L'smom- (I didn't know we could change our names!)
Look at Lukas' lil cheeks. So cute. How did the birth go?
Wow pcbs- 12 days overdue! Were they looking to induce you at all? Casey is beautiful! How are you feeling?
I had my 6 week PP check up today with the MW. She said all is looking good. muscles are good, and my tear healed up just fine. I was sort of dreading her checking "up there", but it didn't hurt one bit. I don't know why, I was thinking it would hurt. DH and I have yet to DTD. TMI- but I'm looking into lubes, because I know I'm dry down there due to breastfeeding. I got my birth control today (safe for breastfeeding moms). I am going to start taking it. The nice part is that, she said that because I'm breastfeeding and will be on the pill, I may not even get my period.
