babyofdeployment08 - Monday, 1 September ok thanks for the input. I hope you are doing well. tootles
thatch - Monday, 1 September Birth went ok i got through it better than i had thought but i had told myself i was going relax breathe and get thru it! Pushin part i found was hardest and last contractions b4 the pushin!!
Im doing ok just tryin to get my breast feedin right! readin from the internet i reckon my breasts were empty one nite as wen i tried to express nothin came only 1 ounce!! that wen there flat and soft there empty never compeletly but empty enough!
So i dunno what your meant to do wen that happens!! keep express more to bring on milk supply!
She drank for 50 mins last nite on breast took 2 hours but yet iv just introduced the advent bottle to her 3 wks old 2moro! and she drank my expressed 2 ounces of milk from bottle on top of 50 mins on breast wow!!
she sucks hard at start, then lightly! so maybe she not sucking hard enough to get full milk from breast so needed my expressed 2 ounces milk!! what you think!
GoonieMomma - Sunday, 31 August Nursing seems right on track! Find it funny that, in the evening, when he's "comfort nursing" (not really swallowing, just playing), that he finds my nipple DiSGUSTiNG at times. SO funny. i go to latch him on and he acts like i covered it in hot sauce! But he REALLY really wants it... then BLECH, WANT it, rooting, got it... YUCK! Goofy little guy. wOOPS, gotta go. Time for a feeding!
thatch - Sunday, 31 August Hey ya how are you!! im ok she here and kicking!! ha! its quiet hetic after 6 yrs! you must be ace at this parenting! its my 1st time breast feedin finding it hard any advice!
Thanks for your comments! comp was broke! how is your little baby what age now!!
babyofdeployment08 - Saturday, 30 August I have been ready your posts and thought you may be able to answer this. I am planning to exclusively pump. Should I start using the pump the day the baby is born? I didn't know since it may take a couple of days for the mile to come in. I just didn't want to wait to long and it be even more difficult. thanks
SMiller - Friday, 29 August Just a little update: who knew getting an appointment would be so difficult. These people have been giving us the run around. My Tricare Prime isn't approved until Oct. 1 which means i have to see a civilian doctor till then, but one doctor I called said they wouldn't do it because it didn't make sense if I was just going to transfer over to a military doctor. Wow- how rude!! But I finally have an appointment September 9. ****Hope you all have a good labor day weekend****
Tabatha - Wednesday, 27 August that is reassuring to hear!..thank you!
SMiller - Wednesday, 27 August I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all the congratulation comments. I would've replied to all separately but when I checked it I had 60 messages, lol. Thank you so much for the support.
CrysC - Wednesday, 27 August I got thing no one told me to add to you list if you want. I was very swollen during my pregnacy and now that all my swelling is gone my rings still don't fit and neither do half of my shoes. Thanks to all the swelling my hands and feet are now permently bigger than they were pre-prego. It is very upsetting to me too because I had just bought some very nice pairs of boots last winter and now I can't wear them.
