<font color="cc0099"> Praise God! Kyle is latching on heaps better the last two sessions. Still topping up each session with expressed milk. But today he actually suckled quite a few times until he disengaged of his own accord and went completely limp. His groggy face came on with wrinkled forehead, half-lidded eyes and open lips, hands fallen at his sides. *victory dance around the room*
dolly, thanks! Don't think bubu~ would have popped last night yet. By now should have if all goes well
Usually for first pregnancies, it takes really long to wait for dilation lor! I mean, I was already 5cm at hospital, but it still took half a day!
Shelisa, So I can start a business selling breast milk, is it? *chuckle* You poor, poor girl. I really hope it all clears up straight after you pop - like in 3 days! Maybe it depends on how long hormones take to re-adjust themselves... That differs from person to person that's why she can't tell you exactly...
l'tulips, huh?! With all the lochia bleeding out, how to tell pink streaks huh?! I'm wonder if I'm feeling soreness cos it's healing???! Heehee, I've been trying to disinfect after every toilet trip and use the antiseptic every other trip.
+ Your baby sounds like a such a good little 'sucker'! Do you swaddle him when he latches on? Lac. consultant said when he's all warm and snug and cuddled up close to mummy, it's as close as being back in the womb as it gets so they tend to fall asleep more easily. Her advice was to wake him up by tickling (which you're already doing) and un-swaddling him. Aiyo... that's why Kyle thrashes around like crazy and pummels my boob with his little fist and grabs hold of my fingers and boob with his little fingers when his mittens slip off.
+ I don't know if it's usual, but Kyle actually sleeps for at least 3hrs after every feed. Often he can sleep for up to 5 hrs without stirring or rooting or licking his lips. Tried waking him up after 4hrs one such time for a feed, but he pursed up his lips and refused to open them. So let him go back to dreamland. Fed him from 2-3am this morn, supposed to have another feed at 6am but he did just that - refused to open his mouth. In fact, he was soundly asleep til we eventually woke him to nurse at 9am!
* AIYA!!!! As I'm typing I'm dripping milk on one side!!! Waiting for the chinese bathing water thingie to cool so I can shower before my first postnatal massage session... So just slipped on my PJs and came online. ARGH!!! No breastpads or tissue at dad's computer area. Too lazy to go upstairs. Shall hurry, finish typing, then go shower, massage and pump.
bbjun, thanks!! You should see Kyle's back. Hubby sunned him this morn and my mum saw his back and was stunned, then had a hearty laugh over it. Now my dad wants a peek during shower time, if he's around. *chuckle* It's like ape-man!
<font size="+1">neeciel</font>, GO FOR IT!!! Hope you see your little bub by evening! Or at least TODAY!!</font>
