| My mom came to help for a month, then my in-laws came for three weeks. We were so ready to have our house back to ouselves and to get used to being a family and have somewhat of a routine and schedule. This time my in-laws are coming for 2 weeks, then my mom is coming a month later for 2 weeks. We learned our lesson! ↑ |

| wow! Your parents stayed for quite a while. My mother in law is planning on coming sometime to help for a while, but we're not sure when. She wants to be down here, but my brother in law is moving back home from college next week, and she needs to help him. ↑ |

| and since pumping was mentioned...what kind of pump do you have? I just have a manual one because I don't plan on needing to use it too much...but I was trying to pump just to relieve some engorgement the other day and it didn't really seem to be working...at least to save anything out of it ↑ |
| Name: connie | Date: Apr 23rd, 2007 3:22 PM |
| I have a electric one, its a medela( or something like that) ↑ |
| Name: Coartney | Date: Apr 23rd, 2007 3:22 PM |
| pumping every 3 hours since yesterday evening. ive been getting about 1-2 ounces everytime. i bought my own dual electric but i cant get it to work, so the hospital gave me a manual one, and one to hook up to their electric pump whenever i go in to visit. we're going up there now b.c he may be getting discharged and i have to meet with the breastfeeding consultant to see if we can get him to latch without making my damn nipples want to commit suicide lol.. ↑ |

| Last time I rented the medela professional grade pump from the hospital. It was a dual pump but I found that it worked best if I did one breast at a time. I only used it to boost my supply since I always had the baby with me. ↑ |

| speaking of sleep.. i dont know when im gonna .. they tell u to nap when babies napping, but, i have to watch him the first couple weeks when he is sleeping to make sure he isnt spitting up or puking in his sleep. i havent slept more than like 2 hours a night the past few days. im so out of it. ↑ |
| Name: connie | Date: Apr 23rd, 2007 3:25 PM |

| braden likes to scream whenever daddy holds him LOL .. well nto all the time ↑ |
| Name: missmara | Date: Apr 23rd, 2007 3:27 PM |
| Why do you have to make sure he doesn't spit-up in his sleep? Do you have a co-sleeper so he can be in the bed with you. If you sleep with him next to you I promise you will hear any weird sounds he makes! I don't think I let myself get into a deep sleep until sophie was around 7 weeks old! Every little sound woke me up! ↑ |
| Name: DaneseS | Date: Apr 23rd, 2007 3:28 PM |
| oh...he'll get over that..and he doesnt have to hold him for himt o sleep ↑ |
| Name: Coartney | Date: Apr 23rd, 2007 3:28 PM |
| connie i had him thursday evening by saturday morning my boobs were solid. they had me start pumping sunday b/c i didnt know how to so someone met with me. ↑ |
| Name: Coartney | Date: Apr 23rd, 2007 3:29 PM |
| well the crib is right by the bed, but scott and i are already sharing it and its tiny, def could not fit anything between us. i had a bigger bed but babys crib needed to fit in here, so i got a twin. BLAH fun. let me tell ya haha.. but i put the deluxe sleeper in the crib too so it holds him in place. im just so freaked b.c of all this ↑ |

| I was probably just too impatient with it. It's not like I needed to save the milk, so I gave up on the pump and just expressed it so I felt better. I'll worry about trying to pump when I actually need to...there's a good chance I'll be with her all the time anyway. I just want to know I can pump for someone else to feed her if we want to go out or something... ↑ |
| Name: Angelcecilia2 | Date: Apr 23rd, 2007 3:33 PM |
| Coart...I agree with mara -- you'll probably hear any noise he makes... does the sleeper hold him on his side? That would keep him from choking if he does spit up ↑ |
| Name: connie | Date: Apr 23rd, 2007 3:34 PM |
| pumping with help with the nipple soreness too. ↑ |

I was going to comment on the sleeping- I still havent slept more than 4 hours yet, the first was the worst, since my little guy was in the hospital too, I slept there the whole time so I got no sleep, thats why they sleep as much as you can before.
I think I went a little crazy at the start from lack of sleep, I still fall asleep breast feeding at night ↑ |
| Name: Angelcecilia2 | Date: Apr 23rd, 2007 3:56 PM |
| I do that a lot...we both get comfortable and I just doze while she's eating away! ↑ |

Xavier had some patches of ezema/pimlpes on his face, I went to the doctor and the told me to by this cold cream stuff, it didnt work so I used Aveeno cream, and it went away in a day, it is the best cream ever-just thought I would tell everyone.
I also bresatfeed on my side, lay him down on my bed and breastfeed that way( we have a kingsize bed so we have lots of room) ↑ |

Hello--yeah, its raining here--our first reall spring rain!
not sure why thats exciting since my pooch and I got caught in it on our walk and now she smells like an old shoe but still...! ↑ |
| Name: zoey9810 | Date: Apr 23rd, 2007 4:22 PM |
| i think im going to use the Aveeno Baby wash instead of Johnson and Johnson, i just looks better for the baby, but i got a few bottles of each, so once im done with the j&j then illl use the Aveeno ↑ |
| Name: zoey9810 | Date: Apr 23rd, 2007 4:23 PM |
| my dog is such a wuss, he wont go out side if its raining, it just stands on the patio and looks at it! lol ↑ |
| Name: connie | Date: Apr 23rd, 2007 4:26 PM |
