My nipples are sore too and I have no nipple cream but apart from that we're good

Hope you're all okay, will hopefully get to read through the posts properly soon x

Thanks Amanda

Carly your doing a fab job, all babies lose some weight to begin with it's totally normal. I think my mw said it can be up to 20% xx

Oh I just don't know what to do. Obviously me offering both is working as he is gaining weight reallywell. This morning I tried only offering one and he wanted feeding every hour. I still don't be live year you can't overfeed a breastfed baby because Henry always seems hungry and never ever says no when the boob is offered

Breastmilk is digested really quickly which I think is why BF babies feed so often which I guess is why they say you can't overfeed a BF baby.

Beckii im on iron tablets too my Nipples are so much better today! I was told rub breast milk into them and leave them to air dry otherwise use vase line.

Thanks amy. It's just so hard to know what's the best thing to do xx

I'm so nervous about having a bowel movement while taking them.

I'll try the milk on nipples too, thank you 😊 x

I've been ok on mine, just make sure your drinking plenty.
how's Jayden taking to being a big brother? Xx

Frazer usually falls asleep after feeding so isn't interested in the other boob.
Tonight he filled his nappy, we had to strip him as it was up his back. Just got him all clean and he threw up all over himself and me. Both got changed and I was feeding him and he brought up lots of milk!! He has had more milk and has just fallen asleep. I am worried to put him down in case he is sick again.

I love putting Riya in a inclined sleeper. It really helps with the throwing up when sleeping. I can't suggest enough how amazing it is for her reflux. Much better than anything we have tried so far. She just LOVES her rock n play. It is her favorite place to sleep now other than with me.

 

[Carlyp1990]

Amanda were lucky we haven't had incidents like that yet! Going to give lucy her first bath this morning though I think
Suzy im lucky lucy has taken to her moses basket now, although she does sleep better on her side when she should really be on her back.
She was fed at 8, 10:30, 12:30, 3:30 and 6 last night... she feeds for about 20 mins each time then sleeps straight after. Does that sound ok? Xx

 

[ab75]

Lol Carly it was everywhere.
Frazer is going to get a quick wash in the shower with dh this morning.
He sometimes only feeds for 10mins Carly so I'm sure Lucy will be fine xx

 

[Carlyp1990]

Thanks hun, I just can't help but worry!
The midwife told us to leave her first bath for as long as possible but I think 6 days is long enough xx

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Jayden is brilliant with her, he's taking to her slowly. He's giving her kisses and cuddles now.

It's sods law when Aimee-Jos sleeping i'm wide awake and when shes awake I can barely keep my eyes open! Shes been asleep now since about 8:30!

Did you ladies feel light headed at all when you got home?
I looked in my notes and read I'd lost 1500ml of blood! X

 

[Carlyp1990]

I did, everything felt surreal too like I wasn't really here. I was really shaky aswell. Glad Jayden is taking being a big brother well xx

 

[Kiwiberry]

Good morning ladies! :wave:
Just put Riya down to sleep.

 

[Ziggie]

Carly I haven't bathed Ivy yet!! Her cord is still attached!!

 

[Kiwiberry]

I want to take a bath or shower with Riya but I am afraid she will be too slippery. How do you ladies do it?

 

[brunettebimbo]

I have had 2 baths with Elijah so far. I love it. I run the bath, get myself undressed, get him undressed, pick him up and climb in. Its lovely to bathe together

 

[Kiwiberry]

I will try tonight! I think I want to get a shower first so I don't have to wash myself, and then take a bath with her right after. I would imagine its really hard to take a full bath with Elijah in it?

 

[UniqueBeauty]

I wish I had a big bath, I'd love to bathe with Aimee-Jo.

I got the mirror out before to clean myself and seriously.. It looks like I have no vaginal opening they have stitched so high :'( has anyone else braved to look?!

Midwife came today, baba is now 8lbs 7oz x

Hey ladies, so I had my appointment with the lactation consultant yesterday. I will say it was worth the price as London slept for 5 1/2 hours last night. I had to wake him up this morning to feed and change him. But this morning he seems to not want to stay latched, he keeps getting off and making faces like he doesn't want it. I finally just pumped him a bottle and had dh feed him. Ugh, I was so happy yesterday

How are you ladies? Kiwi I'm glad Riya really took to the sleeper and it helps with her reflux.
