Hi

Sorry I haven't got time to read back, but I hope you and your lovely babies are all well:)

I need a bit of advice regarding dribbling! I generally have to change Kai 2-3 times a day because his tops get soaked right through to his vest....and that is even when he has a bib on all day, albeit cheapy bibs from asda. Any ideas on good absorbent bibs or any other tips on reducing the dribbles!!
He was in nursery today from 9.30-4pm and they changed him 3 times in that time...it is getting ridiculous, I will have to start taking him a suitcase in for a full day at this rate:rolleyes:

Is there any way to move the tube out of the way without dislodging it at all? It probably wouldn't affect him as far as actually feeding goes but maybe it's a distraction to him when he is trying to latch on... (Elle might be the best person to ask about this, I don't know if she fed Rhys with the tube in) Did he take an interest in your breasts while he was there? just lying, looking at them and having a lick is a completely normal reaction... Full term babies don't always latch straight away with any success... Is there a good infant feeding co-ordinator at your hospital supporting you?

Define "an interest in my breasts" - he's still so small, when he's lying in the right position, my boobie is pretty much all he can see :rotfl: He kinda kissed them, perhaps he's practising for 18 years in the future :rotfl:

As for an "infant feeding co-ordinator" All I had was the SCBU nurse who was looking after Andrew that day, nobody special. I kinda think I won't see anyone special unless I ask or appear to have problems. I want to have another go tomorrow as I know one of my favourite nurses is going to be on duty instead of a stranger.

then he is a boy so he has to think about it for a long time....

Good point :T :T :T He's having to breathe at the same time, and we all known men can't multi-task! :rotfl:

Do you have to buy them online or are they available in shops? I am honestly so desperate and need something quickly!
