God bless the rocknplay. I was hoping to have this one avoid sleeping in it overnight but tonight has been magical so it looks like we are sticking with it.

Pregnant and awake here too. misskilljoy hopefully the ice helped (frozen veggies are nice because they don’t melt and if you accidentally fall asleep no waking up in a wet mess. Plus the peas or corn conform to your breasts and don’t have pokey little corners that make it more painful. Ibuprofen and cold packs will help with the inflammation, which is what you are experiencing. And make sure the shields you have are allowing room for your nipple to move freely through the whole session. Your nipples can be different sizes and different from last time too. Not having the correct size can hinder milk removal. |

Amazon had better have what I need, because stores here don't tend to have much by way of pump supplies. |

Pregnant and awake. I went to bed an hour ago and I just cannot fucking sleep. It is almost midnight. I went out to the living room so I don't disturb H.
I can't even explain why I'm so awake. I guess I will watch TV. Or maybe read.

Back to setting an alarm to wake her up. We go into the pediatrician tomorrow so hopefully she will give us the clear to stop doing this. I mean, if this girl wants to give us four hour stretches at night, who am I to stop her? We do have a baby scale at home and it seems like she is gaining well, but we'll see what the pedi says.

But I am just SUPER awake and can't get comfortable at all. I can't lie down. I can't sit too long. Urgh. |

And to speak about BF, my kids just hate my milk.
My milk came in on day 4 (brilliant because with DS it was day 14) and I started pumping more to encourage my supply, was working, I was getting 10mls and was going up. So I fed E my milk first and then F, she just grimaces and spits out my milk. Child no!!! 3 times I tried with my milk and every time she was like flat out nope. F, she guzzles.
Asked the nursery nurses and they had no idea, maybe my milk was to sweet/sour for her.
I can't actually feed her because I have a slow let down and she gets really frustrated and screams and screams.
So I've had rock hard boobs for 2/3 days waiting for the milk that I am so glad I actually have but don't need now to go away.
DS didn't mind my milk, I can remember him spitting it out sometimes but not EVERY time. He actually preferred my slow let down so I BF him not expressed.
Just one of those things. But E is already having 100mls/3oz every feed, sometimes less if she's half asleep, and not in a million years would my boobs be able to keep up with that anyway. She's happy and content on F, that's the main thing.
Bloody boobs

@beenfinch does it have a sour or soapy smell after it has been in the fridge?
ETA or on the countertop?

E started cluster feeding last night from aroun 6-12. Thankfully she passed out for awhile so that DH and I could sleep. We had to wake her up for her next feeding. Also thankful that I've opted to pump and supplement, as I don't know what I would have done if she was breast feeding. You BF mamas are total rockstars for dealing with that!

Is everyone sleeping tonight??
Pediatrician said we still have to wake her at three hours, but we can let her go one four hour stretch in a 24 hr period. That's irrelevant now though because she also recommended not having her sleep in the rnp for several more weeks. We put her in it the last couple nights and she was doing 3.5 hrs and maybe longer if we didn't wake her. Back in the pnp tonight and can't even make it two hours. Ugh.

DS2 needs to get it together or he will continue to get sprayed in the face when he pulls off during a letdown. Gr. But he went a whole 2.5 hours sleeping so I'll take it. librarylady he's been sleeping in the rock and play or swing. He slept so poorly in the pack n play. Once I'm feeling better re:recovering and he's on a more regular feeding schedule, we will try to get him sleeping in the pack n play again. |

DD2 is in the nursery. She had to do a carseat test before we can be discharged tomorrow and the nurse offered to keep her overnight so DH and I could sleep. If you insist. But of course, I woke up about an hour ago. I think I'll try to get back to sleep before they bring her back to our room.
