Alex is all flakey since he was born, william wasnt like that though.

bf sore here, just like starting out again. But i am feeding now while typing.

Ladies who are BF, how are u all going?
I have found it challenging and that i need alot of determination. Its def not as easy as what i thought it would be.....well for me anyway!

I'm still going. It definitely hasn't been easy for me (i must have made a billion posts in the BFing section about how much I hated it BUT as of yesterday I think we might of cracked it!
Pleased isn't even the word. Feeding my daughter is now almost completely pain free!

Oooops, I didn't know you wasn't meant to use olive oil on their face, I have been dabbing a bit on Amber's eyebrows as she has a smidgen of cradle cap there

I am still breastfeeding. Haven't given evan a bottle for 2 days now it seems to have settled down altho he is VERY hungry today and a bit unsettled. I have been lucky, no had pain here or problems with supply. I just find the constant feeding a bit much sometimes and his reflux hasn't helped. But we seem to have turned a corner, I say as he screams with hunger again! He was sick in my boob ten mis ago

Been trying BF, but my supply is basically non exisistant. Yesterday we went to a lactation specialist, and after an hour of feeding he only got 22 mil! I've been using fenugreek, with no results, and later today have to go the pharmacy to pick up some anti-nasau meds, thats supposed to help the milk supply. Hoping this one works.

Also, Jaxon has a really bad diaper rash. Found out he's allergic to Desitin, he just screams and it makes the rash worse. So lactation nurse gave me some free samples of a prescription only rash cream. After 12 hours its starting to clear up and looks great. So off we go to the pediatrician for a prescription later today!

I could never get anything out with a pump I near thought I was dry when I started with william but its unreliable. Least you have a bf consultant there to help though.

Hey Pichi, I used to put nipple cream on Ashton's red/dry patches. Worked a treat

Hello to all you other lovely ladies xxx

BFing this time around is wonderful!!! She is a piggy and loves the boobs! Lol Still hurts sometimes but I have to just relatch her properly. We FF Bottle feed when I can't feed her but going back to the boob is no problem. There is no confusion with her between my boobs, bottles or the pacifier.
