He's adorable rooster! Very handsome little man

Warm baths for 15-20 minutes a few times a day will help with your soreness.

It should never hurt, ever. Might be worth mw checking his latch?

The midwife says the latch is perfect and my milk supply is very good.
She just says the nipples need to harden. X

Hopefully that is all it is then honey and that it will start to feel better in a few days.

Cant believe hes been here 6 days today already! x

Have you checked to see if lo has tongue tie? Mine does, I tried bf the first week and was extremely painful as well. He was latched right, but it was so bad I was bleeding. He has tongue tie but I refuse to let them cut it

It should NOT be painfull to the point where you are gritting your teeth. A little sore yes, but never painful.

 

[sarahuk]

Ouch Tina that sounds very uncomfortable! xx

 

[rooster100]

It's only on the left side that is so sore the right side is not as bad!
The left side is bleeding and has little blisters but mw says that's normal. Will just see how the next week goes x

 

[moter98]

Good luck

 

[Faythe]

No that's not right. Honey, you should ask to see a lactation consultant. If you're bleeding and have blood blisters it's Bjorn that's caused it which would be an incorrect latch (possibly tt or lt)

Hi girls, hope everyone is well? And babys? And almost mummy Sarah? I have put my birth story in the birth announcement section, not sure how to add it to the bottom of my page?
I'm having a salt bath ATM. My episiotomy wound is infected. I told the mw this every time I was checked this week. (I'm a nurse and know what an infected wound looks and smells like!) they kept telling me it was fine. Went to a&e last night and its infected and I'm on antibiotics so hopefully it will now settle.
Did any of you girls hear phantom crying when you had your LO? Everytime I leave Bjorn to take a bath or shower I'm convinced I can hear him crying and when I check him he is sound asleep?!
Happy 38 weeks for tomorrow Sarah!!! Xx

Oh the other other thing is Bjorn is one week old today! I weighed myself( not a good idea!) have lost 23lbs so far but unfortunalty I still have another 28 to lose to get back to my normal weight! Have lost my appitite though but I think that's with the excitment Andrew pregnancy appitite was massive! X

 

[Faythe]

Choosing to ignore my last post?

I'm just trying to help. Simple fact is, you shouldn't be bleeding or getting blisters from BF'ing and your MW is wrong. You can call the La Lech League who will confirm this and advise you better x

 

[rooster100]

Sorry faythe I wasn't ignoring it! Things are alot better today, the right breast is now fine and the left is tender when he latches on but then settles. I'm seeing another nurse on Monday so will chat to her about it. The blisters have gone down, I bought some cream and that really seems to have helped. Xx

You just had a baby ONE WEEK ago! Don't worry about it right now. Give your body time to recover and keep in mind you still need extra calories right now as you are bf'ing. The weight will come off. They say 9 months to put on 9 months to take off.

Had my growth scan this morning and baby is fine at 6lbs 15oz. However my waters are next to nothing, so they are inducing me.

I know I must relax. Baby Bjorn is so good at the moment! Sleeping so well at night. He is too cute. Just stare at him all the time. How is little kash? Xx

Thinking of you Sarah xx
