...a bit carefully, I notice I'm not vaulting the babygate at home as I usually do and I'm still taking Ibuprofen a couple of times a day. But I feel well on the road to physical recovery and because breastfeeding is going so well, despite the best efforts of the ICU staff, I feel out of that awful period when every feed is a worry. Going home is going to have many challenges, and I'm pretty sure...
Lilian is 11 weeks old today. BabyWeekly - Week 11 of Your Baby's Development Week 11 - Your New Baby Your baby is starting to exercise a little self-control. When he is crying and you respond... and we'll use it for our Christmas cards. Can't. Wait. Basically.... Lilian is perfect. =) * * *
...note........I think the time has come when I will have to slowly start weaning Ashlyn down to comfort nursing only (naptime/bedtime). I really truly do not want to, but it's becoming to much and breastfeeding is becoming less and less enjoyable right now. I have the constant sore nipples from the pregnancy hormones, plus she will not lay still unless she is tired so our nursing sessions consist...
I would like to shamelessly promote adopt_a_mom . I know I had tons of questions about breastfeeding when I first became pregnant. Elly, so_sporktastic told me about adopt_a_mom and became my mentor through the community. Honestly, I have learned so much through her.. and after I have Chloe, I know that Elly will be helping me out with any problems I come up with. I urge...
One of the things that's hard about having a sick baby is the way you end up re-reading otherwise innocuous or even positive signs as negative. Apart from his initial refusal to be out of our arms at... I'd probably be a little bit freaked out, from the contrast with PB who fed every 2 hours, day and night until he was 4 months old, but I'd be happy too). But instead I'm worried that he's ill
...other people think - she is already amazing! Why the heck is she worrying about what other moms will think if she weans her daughter 3 years before she starts pre-K. I have no problem with mothers breastfeeding their babies or toddlers in public places. Most moms are discrete, and if you don't like it, don't look. BUT, on Sunday we stopped at Little Things on 7th Ave to pick up a present for a friend's...
...was a very entertaining thread on the Nursing Times bulletin board with nurses getting enraged with the erasure of nurses. I was following it for seriousacademic purposes. Oh yes.) He's still breastfeeding well. I've only not been there for one of his feeds, and D was there, so he cup-fed him some of my expressed milk, which was okay. He didn't immediately throw most of it up, as PB used to...
So I guessI shouldn't have spoken yet. Breastfeeding is once again going horribly. Last night we fed her a looooootttttt on the breasts. Then she starts fussing. We try to do more. She latches wrong. Keeps slipping down to just the nipple, and she sucks hard so imagine the pain. Then we ended up having to give her 2 bottles (wtf??? seriously????) which she also was being impossible about. She'd...
