Huge quodos to anyone who manages to express for more than a week. For 2 days I found it exhasuting and so tied to the house. Things have improved significantly and he's on the breast, mostly without nipple shields but at night seems to need them occasionally. So they are always at hand. Now he's just feeding a lot every afternoon/evening, with little sleep so now trying to get back into some kind of patern. It is improving day by day,mi have to keep reminding myself we are only day18. People tell me we are doing well, it just doesn't feel like that! He doesn't seem colicky so we are lucky, so far at least. The odd bit of possetting but nothing more, he winds quite easily although it is harder at night. It's just the constant feeding that hard and lack of happy awake time but hoping that will come with time. We do get moments of happy awake time, just very short ATM. Just presuming its all normal at this stage.
Jesus naughty Ollie!
pulling her legs on her tummy, twisting her back etc.does that sound like Ollie??
did you sort your phone?
we have both had some sleep and feel better for it! That's not to say I'm not feeding on demand, just not letting him blackmail me into feeding too soon. That has also stopped him being sick as often and he eats a nod sleeps better. I'm sure it won't last but it feels so god to get over each hurdle, however small!
Good luck with it all xxx
