[BettyBoop152]

Was breast but she is a hungry bubs and no matter how perfectly she latched they cracked etc!
It's hard to gauge how much she has fed as she guzzles hard so it's usually a bit more than 1oz but I do break off just so upsetting to see her this way I'll def ask MW about infacol tho xxx

 

[Rachie Rach]

Awwwwwww baby xxx

 

[Teej]

not long to wait chicken how come you are having a c-section??

Thanks hun, I'm having a c-sec cause of my lower spinal op I had last year, my backs not doing all that well as baby get's bigger, it went tonight too and I can't move it's so painful, they are a bit worried natural labour will cause more problems due to the pressure on my lower back and if it affects my disc I could be laid up even longer than I will be after a c-sec. Better safe than sorry I guess!! xxx

 

[Rachie Rach]

Awww hugs Tammy xxx you'll be fine xxx just take it easy hunny make others run round after ya xxx

 

[princess.leah]

Hey Ladies,

Busy Mama here not had a mo to log on!!!

Bless you Rach - hope your better soon hun. xx

TeeJ - A section aint too bad, I had the normal labour for 15 hours then an emergency section. However just take it really easy. Stay in hospital as long as poss to recover. I cam out after 2 nights but wish I'd stayed in longer they were sooo nice on the ward and couldnt do enough for me it was a lovely experience if there is such a thing!!! So much so I'm thinking of getting myself a pencil case and going back to uni to become a midwife!!!! Prior to this I was terrified of needles and blood etc, however now I;m been prodded and poked numerous times its opened up and whole new spectrum to me!!! However we will see, its either try again soon for baby number 2, or go study for 3 years, however my bio clock ticking as I'm 30 now, so we will see what happens!! Eeeeek exciting stuff., xx

Awwww Betty poor buba, Alayah was the same, infacol is a godsend, its inexpensive to buy from asda or wherevever but I've got it for Alayah on repeat prescription!!! As for the nipps too I'm breast feeding Alayah and one of my nips was cracked and horrific pain when she was feeding off it, however I got Lansinoh ointment from the doc - free free free!!! Its about £12 a tube in the shops. But make sure you ask for it by name and insist on Lansinoh Oinment as its the only one that diont need to be rinsed off before feeding and its amazing stuff. So get on the case witrh the doc. I'm combination feeding now formular and breast milk and expressing some too and freezing it. Generally give her the formular at night and she sleeps for 6 hours!!! She too has colic and the Tomee Tippee anti colic bottles are amazing, she dont really need winding now, and she gets less wind with these bottles as she does with the boobie!!! RESULT!! xx

Lintu honey, how you getting on?? xx

My love to all you ladies, xxx

Hey Leah!
Colic is EVIL lol bubs has had it BAD but I've switched her milk to C&G comfort and give her variflow TT teats and it seems to have settled her a little bit! She def doesn't cry all day now just late afternoon and night.. As for BF I used that Lanisoh (even paid for it) lol and my nipples wouldn't heal in time.. Think I'm totally dried up as I haven't even leaked since last week?!
Awww 6 hours I'm sooo jealous longest Livvy will go is 4 and that's rare xxxx

 

[princess.leah]

Awww glad its working for you hun and buba is settling. When you stopped BF did you get like big lumps on your boobs and how did they go??. As when Ive missed a feed (when I give her formular) I get big lumps on my boobs, aopparently the bulging milk ducts and they dont go down until I feed her or express. Just wondering if you got them when you stopped??.

Also Alayah can sometimes have both breasts and then still take 3oz, and when having formular she can have 5 oz on a night, is this normal? xxx

 

[BettyBoop152]

My boobs went massive when my milk came in and they def had lumps in them I actually thought I was getting mastitis! But apparently it's normal.. When your ready to stop BF just wear a really tight bra constantly until they go down and try not to drink as much water and you will be fine Hun!

As for the 5oz I couldn't say what's normal because my friends baby was taking that much at feed times but my bubs only has 2-3 oz 4 at the VERY most! Maybe just ask someone to check your latch technique it def helped me but was a bit late for the pain lol
Am sure what your doing is perfectly normal hun after all each baby is different xxx

 

[lintu]
