Hi Ryedalema - what's Mothers Inc maasage at weekends? Thanks
-
Thanks for all your help, have now managed to give him 2 bottles and have 2ozs in the fridge waiting for me to add a little more for my long awaited trip to have a massage - can't wait - will be bliss. :))
-
Just to say thanks for all your help as we now have a much calmer house and baby. Sometimes he goes down at 6pm ish and sleeps through to midnight and other times he chills with us in the evening going down at around 9/10pm ish and sleeps through to 2am ish (yes with a little fussing but not much)
-
Ta, all very helpful. On a positive note he took a bottle for the first time this morning and at over 7 weeks. :)

Thought it was going to be a breeze as managed to express 2ozs on my first go on Friday but tried again today and couldn't get anything from either breast - is this normal? I'm looking to express enough for a couple of bottles max a day. Also how often should I be expressing each day? Thanks

it's an electrical medela pump. have boiled everything that will come in to contact with me or the milk for about 20 minutes and air dried so hoping that's okay as really want to give it a go tomorrow as am sure it'll take a few days to collect anything!

cheers guys - ohh no is my identity being revealed...! ;-) now on to another question - i'm looking to express so that i can get away for a massage or two and have a pump from a friend - is this okay if i sterilise it by boiling for 10 minutes or should i get my own? and sooo looking forward to that glass of wine tonight. :))

cheers molly and thanks for all your advice both nappy & non nappy related - it's been invaluable. on the cluster feeding di stick to the same breast for the 6 to 9ish feeds and the switch at 9pm ish or what's the best way to go about it? cheers
-
sounds like i just need to chill in the evenings and he'll chill me. :-)

Cheers, generally I'm in a quiet room upstairs trying to remain calm but he can probably feel my inner turmoil & tension...! Yep we're breast feeding on the one side, I'm going to try staying downstairs this evening and just chilling in front of the telly but was always concerned about the over stimulation thing?? Thankfully my husband does all the cooking at the mo and no other kids to deal with.

Hi, my 7 week old baby seems to constantly feed & fuss between approximately 6pm to a final feed at 9pm and then he sleeps well until about 1/2am - which is great but the early to mid evening is horrible - he feeds and falls asleep but won't settle and usually wakes within 10 minutes - is this cluster feeding, is this colic or is this just being a baby...! :-) Any help/suggestions much appreciated. Thanks

I'm a 40 year old first time mum who had a home water birth with the Brierley, beautiful baby boy born on 1st January. I can't recommend them highly enough, both my husband and I were extremely happy with all the midwives there as they had an amazing balance of caring and professionalism. Cathy
