    Hi guys....just wondered if some of you would mind sharing some breastfeeding experiences?

    Thomas is 4 days old now and seems to be feeding well. I was giving him both breasts but since my milk came in i just feed him from 1. He usually feeds for about 30mins and i take him off after he's unlatched and been put back on a couple of times. He usually looks really sleepy by this point. Does this sound right?

    I think he must be getting enough as I fed him at 1am then he went right through until 7.30! Even then he wasnt at the point where he was crying for it.

    ETA through the day he feeds a lot more frequently varying from every 1.5 to 4 hours


    Hi :) I'm sure lots have posted about this by now, but I'm trying to catch up on several pages :D

    Sounds perfectly normal to me - pretty much how all 4 of mine were in early days. Make sure you alternate breasts at feeds, though :)

    I've not been but it's near the Trafford Centre. My Bro and SIL went and said it's a bit expensive but their 4 year old enjoyed it! Not sure it's a whole day thing though. Can ask them more if you want me to.....

    [STRIKE]Morning[/STRIKE] :) Afternoon! :eek:

    Had a lay in and woke up at 11:15am, annoying as i didn't want one and told OH i was going to get up before him so he would have a lay in. I was in such a deep sleep i didn't even realise they left the room this morning :o

    We are having a MAJOR sort out today. Which translates to, i own so much crap OH wants me to get rid of half of it.
    We found out we can move as long as we give a months notice, i thought we had to stay for the year, so :j
    We are looking for a 3 bedroom house now ready for when #2 happens.

    Apparently the less "crap" i own the easier it will be to move :rotfl:


    Lily went 6 hours between feeds last night :j She didn't sleep for the whole 6 hours though, she usually takes about an hour to settle down, but OH does it :)

    I think she prefers the hungry baby milk, when she has it she will happily drink 5ozs in one go. With the stage 1 she only has 3ozs then will fall asleep and then wake and want more :confused:

    Any idea why?

    Awww she keeps smiling, at what, i dont know. Usually the corner of the room :)

    ea the only reason jayden goes to sleep while drinking milk is if its a certain temp .. do you do the both at different temps? x
