Hey! There used to be a Parents thread, but not seen it for a while, so not sure if its still going. But you are quite welcome to join in here, my LO is 1 in 2 weeks, and i'm staying put!:D.

A lot of the regulars on it decamped to fb... Then it was less busy so no one posted then this thread pretty well killed it off as there were no new joiners (sorry! )

I'm quite happy to bump it, I'd be glad to see it going again

Dewi is all mine for the night! I've been allowed to wheel his cot into my room. He had a half hour feed that started half 9 and we did get a 5 hour sleep last night so let's hope he'll do it again. No doubt I'll get less sleep listening out for him but I'll have to get used to it!

Fingers crossed we'll get discharged tomorrow. Then I promise not to be so self obsessed and give you all a birth/hospital story.

Oh. If anyone is up... any tips for feeding in bed?

Gillyx

I don't know Bamama there is a way of feeding laying down, maybe get one of the midwifes to show you? xx

Bamama

I'll give it a go. Have a vague recollection of pictures... I'm assuming a pillow behind him might be an idea. If he won't latch I'll ask

Ta anyway Gilly xxx

Thanks Gilly. I Thought expressed would have been a good measure of how much babs got from me but reading around it seems not. We had skin to skin for a few hours and i ate and the boobs seemed to reinflate so hopefully it was a blip. I can hear her swallowing the milk again now which didn't happen earlier.

She has been feeding every two hours today. The 10pm feed lasted an hour and at 12 she was after more - been going 45 mins on the other side. Midwife said that wasn't acceptable and my milk must be poor quality so that made me feel good! not sure why she has suddenly taken to hour long feeds is it a growth spurt at 2 weeks?!

Started watching OBEM but freaked out as first woman had an EMCS due to fetal distress & seeing the way the nurses responded in a panic made me realise that's prob how they reacted about me I just wasn't aware of it. Soon turned it over as it was starting to turn positive memories into worries for the future!!

Bamama - great news hope u have a brilliant night with your boy! Wish he could teach little miss how to sleep 5 hours!! !

Bamama

We're on lying down! He makes an awfully loud "yelping" sound when he swallows sometimes...
