Tonight she's been feeding since 20.30!!!!!!!!!

Thats like way long time! MAN this s SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hard good job i got a nap this afternoon! I can't honestly believe there's anything left in my boobs!

 

[sparkswillfly]

I know that feeling............

 

[Mervs Mum]

Awww hun. Hebe was EXACTLY like that. If she sticks to the same pattern she did, she will be sleeping every night in about a weeks time! Hebe was slept 9 hrs min from just short of 3 weeks BUT I would sit down at 5pm and not move till 11pm!! Just keep swapping sides so you dont get sore and put cream on your nipples.

 

[Shinning_Star]

Swapping sides but getting sore! Is it even possible there's still milk there!

 

[Mervs Mum]

I guarantee that there is still milk there. It's very rare to not have milk. Keep drinking honey and while she's on one side cream the other and vice versa. Have you got some Lansinoh nipple cream???

 

[Shinning_Star]

No MW did give me samples but I'm allergic to lanolin, so not sure what else to use! Man am very tired, have to go get another glass of water!

 

[sparkswillfly]

I often think there must be nothing left.... I can tell that there is when she has a 'milky mouth' the inner bits of her lips go slighty white like when you eat salt and vinegar crisps.... if that makes sense

 

[Mervs Mum]

If you gently squeeze milk will still come out too! In fact do that and they rub it round the nipple and allow it to air dry then use olive oil instead of the Lansinoh
I found that my nipples needed to 'toughen up' to start with - it didnt take long and they dont literally get tough - you just get past that 'toe tapping/curling' bit when they first latch on!!

 

[Shinning_Star]

yeah getting past toe curling latch on! still makes my spine tingle mind! I honestly can't believe she's still going! where is she putting it all with her walnut sized belly.

Well can squeeze milk out of my right boob but nothing coming out of my left.

I'm getting tired now! And bored and uncomfy!

Cluster feeding sucks, no pun intended. I remember when Brenn would do this. He would go for hours. Try expressing a bit of milk, and rubbing that around your nipple and letting it air dry. That should help is you can't uses Lanolin.

 

[Shinning_Star]

I was up until 3 am eek! But she seems to have settled back into half hour-forty minute feeds!

 

[Mervs Mum]

Hang in there darling - it's definately that first spurt that comes at 2 weeks. It will pass honey and you'll come out the other side with more milk than you can shake a stick at so the next spurt wont be as bad
