5 Second Nipple Update
Oct. 5th, 2005 10:14 amThings are much much better now! Thanks hugely to chaosmanor for her help, also for encouraging me to use the Nilstat straight away - by Sunday, my nipples were feeling about 80% better, and now they just feel bruised from constant use, rather than like they have something *wrong* and breastfeeding is pain free. Yay!
Now, off to the doc today to see if Sproglet has put on some weight. He finally had a poo or two or three last night, the first in about 9 days. Yay! His farts were starting to get scary!! Did you know babies can go for up to 21 days without having a poo? Poor kid!
Oh, and if any one ever needs to get a wee sample from a baby, ask for pediatric bags I think they are called. Much better than lying the child out on a rug without a nappy and trying to catch the wee, the bags fit over (well, in our case) the balls and penis, and the catchment area fits under his bum, so you can put the nappy on him and he's happy. Sproglet is usually OK with being in the nuddy, but after 45 minutes I think his tolerance got a bit worn out.
:-)
Ok, better go and find some socks and make sure he is still asleep.
Oh, and I got drunk last night! And the most amusing part (apart from flirting online) is that it only took THREE glasses of decent wine!!?? WTF?!
