| Yeah, we express - I'll not take off much though deliberately, maybe 40-80mls in one go and then freeze it, we'll then use it when I'm in church or something.. We had her baptised last sunday and gave her as much as she wanted prior to the service (and a bit more as it was just starting), she took 220mls (!) and slept from 10am until I woke her at 1.45 to change a nappy!!
Bea - are you going to use a pump? Ive found the avent hand pump ok although a little sore.. I've got an electric one somewhere, must dig it out and try it.. It's lovely for hubby to be able to
do the odd feed, nice bonding time for him and a rest for me! When you're expressing, your milk is more plentiful and better quality in the morning and also you wont get anywhere near as much off as your baby will so dont panic if you dont get much off at first!
I think jocelyn is goin through another growth spurt as she's feed feed feed feed again.. Car journeys are done in 5 mile stretches with 20 minute feeds in between!! As I said, we had her baptised on sunday which was lovely, she looked and behaved like an absolute angel - bare;y even woke up when she had the water poured over her! I'll post up soon pics soon! We had a big cake at the back of the church for all the congregation/choir to enjoy and then had family/god parents/close friends back to the pub in the village for some fud afterwards, was a really lovely day.. It was our wedding anniversary yesterday too which was lovely - and all the more special to have Jocelyn with us, something we'd hoped for but you never want to assume that it will be the case!
What time are your babies going down in the evening? Jocelyn goes to sleep between 10.30 and 11.30, putting her down before that as she only really sleeps for 5-15min before then, if at all.. What time do your babies go down? Also when will she start going down earlier? |
