Thanks girls! Im doing good! BFing is going well, demanding.. But well lol! I only managed day 5 with Noah so to get past and beyond that has felt amazing 
Noah is still struggling with having to share me. I new it would happen, spesh as ive been split with their dad sonce Feb now so hes gotten use to it just being me and him here and now this little person that cries and is sat on my lap feeding 24/7 has been forced into his life!
Im sure hell come around, its just hard as his behaviour has become ALOT more challenging for me!!!

It is tough with other little ones to look after especially if you are on your own too. James constantly tries to pull Alfie off me so that he can get cuddles, but is also so affectionate to him too and smothers him in kisses. I'm sure my boys are playing up and fighting more than normal too as they know I can't stop them as easily when feeding but it does get better xx

Morning has definitely come too quick! I was up until 11 tidying and putting washing away. Belle woke at 2.30 and didn't go back off until nearly 5 when it was starting to get light, so took me ages to get back to sleep. Now Oscar is awake and asking to get up, I'm leaving him chatting in his cot as long as possible!!
We didn't have too many sicky episodes yesterday so I'm pretty sure it's nothing too serious, maybe she was just being greedy and taking too much milk too quickly. I make sure I stop her after a few minutes to wind her, not taking any chances! Xxx

I always say I'm going to have an early night and then before I know it it is nearly 11pm or just after!
Glad I'm not alone with the sleepless nights, but I did forget how much it sucks lol I have the HV coming at 10:30 so having a mad tidy up before hopefully getting a shower xx

It must have been the night for it because Logan was up more in the night as well. I've got bottles ready for today...he's had minimal amount of formula but I can't keep feeding him constantly, I know it should get easier but as he's so big I just don't see how, I expressed a feed off last night to keep my supply up but I don't think I'm gonna be feeding him for much longer x

Baby Robyn arrived this morning! 5hr 30 labour (8.5 from very first contraction!), 10lb 8oz!!! Luckily managed to stay at home, and mum delivered. It was so, so much harder than jakes delivery, but worth every second. Apparently I just make absolutely ginormous babies! Robyn's due date was today, too, which is phenomenal timing!!!

Awww congratulations tigger, what a fantastic weight baby Robyn is. So glad you managed to stay at home and must be so special to have your mum deliver baby.
HV has been and Alfie is 6lb 4oz, so 3oz above his birth weight Yay! He is still quite jaundice though so going to the local maternity unit to be checked out this afternoon to see if he needs a blood test done to check his bilirubin levels xx

AMAZING NEWS Tigger, many many congratulations! And gosh, bet you're pleased you didn't go overdue, what a weight and well done you for getting the home birth you wanted.
If that's the size of baby you get after a 9lb 12oz one then I'm pleased I'm having no more, that was big enough! Love the name. Enjoy lots of cuddles with your new squish xx

Congratulations Tigger. I'm not at all jealous. Induction for me booked for Saturday, but to go in on Friday for pessery, as yet another failed attempt at a sweep today. She was digging around so much I am bleeding, so will see what happens over the next hour or so and call the MAU if it doesn't stop.

Congratulations again Tigger! A due date baby. Amazing
Ladies can I pick your brains about feeding? My determination to breastfeed is waning. I feel like I've missed 2 weeks of my big boy's life and I could cry thinking about it.
Kitty lost 11% of her birth weight at 5 days, she put 45g on after 7 days and only another 30g after 11 days. But only up to a 9% loss on birth weight. I'm feeding all the time. They've told me to hand express which I have started to do but I get literally 5ml and then I have a fight to get that down her and she screams for another feed.
I gave up breastfeeding my son too soon, then carried on expressing a feed a day until 12 weeks and always regretted it so I don't want to regret it this time too but I wasn't built for this. I'm finding it so hard (I know it's not easy!). Add to that the fact my son hates me because I've constantly got a baby attached to my boob, and hubby is back to work tomorrow and I'm really floundering.
What are your experiences with formula top ups, anyone? Although I do think adding formula into the mix will be the slippery slope to formula feeding.
It's such a hard one; we have a good latch, there's no pain...it would be a shame to stop....
Sorry for my ramblings...!! Xxx

I know exactly how u feel-I've started introducing a formula feed now and again to just give me a rest as Logan feeds constantly, his weight gain is amazing but I'm so tired. My midwife and health visitor have both supported me topping up his feed. Do what you think is best xx

So what do you do? Feed from breast then top up with a bit of formula or have you just swapped to formula for a feed? Xxxx
