BB you're right I totally forgot to say birthdate: 23rd May.
He's lovely but still feeding hourly with maybe one 3 or 4 hour sleep a day & that's not predictable. I really need to see a bf advisor as I decided to introduce formula & just made things worse - I'm like a zombie right now.

This maternity leave lark is bad for me - made chocolate brownies this afternoon. Have basically spent the whole day sitting around in my PJs, playing with my phone, watching tv, had a bath, drinking tea, and eating cake...!

Did I miss something? Where's the bad bit?:rotfl: and more importantly your address so we can come sample these brownies

Kabie I've no idea about bf or formula etc. Is the midwife seeing you at home? Have they any suggestions or able to put you in touch with someone? If he's on hourly feeds maybe he's just a hungry bubba? No wonder you're feeling zombified no sleep and the stress of losing your mum. As BB said we'll try and support you as much as we can here.

Not seeing midwife any more, on to HV now. She said I'm feeding him too often & should make him wait but I'm not sure I trust her judgement, going to try to contact a bf group tomorrow & see if there's someone who can help.
I introduced formula to try to get some sleep & give sore nipples a rest it worked but left me engorged. I don't even know whether I want to keep bf or not, I do but the frequency is a killer - confused.
I also have a problem with really quick letdown & fast flow (this is what I've gathered from googling), this leaves poor boy spluttering & choking, then windy unless I'm really careful: have to try to keep him quite upright when feeding.

have you tried expressing some milk just before you feed ? then the super fast flow & let down wont bother him and you can be sure he is feeding to the good creamy stuff at the back rather than filling up on air and watery milk and thinking he is full. if he finishes on the boob you can then offer what you have expressed OR freeze it and stock pile for a later feed.

sounds like he is just skimming off the top and not getting to the stuff that fills his belly, so whilst you are feeding lots and your boobs are getting full he isnt getting anything of use if that makes sense ??

sorry about your mum, you must be all over the show at the moment, be sure to lean on those around you - dealing with one major thing in your life at a time is enough to test anyone let alone what you are going through right now x x x

kabie - I'm sorry for your loss and hope your little boy gives you some consolation. I hope you can get help with your bf - can't help as all my knowledge is purely theoretical.

Does anyone else have pains next to the tail bone? I've been struggling for the past week as every step brings a new wave of pain. I'm really worried about getting to work tomorrow. It's my last week and I should probably be off as I can barely walk but I need to finish some urgent stuff and can't really leave it for anyone else. I'm now limping everywhere very very slowly and can't imagine having 4 more weeks of this.

twinklie

I don't have any pain there, but I have a pain right low down at the front. It's right around my pubic bone...can't tell if its a pregnancy pain or if it's a UTI type pain. Very werid.

i have that silly moo its like coccyx pain combined with sciatica - it comes and goes but when it comes i can barely walk

I did think about sciatica as it started with really strong pains in my leg. Now it's just my back though. Do you know how to make it better?
