shar i did the same thing the first 3
weeks with kristen
its because youre trying to make time for
yourself and its hard when you have a
baby. it cuts into your sleep time
it will get better  just try and stay
away from the computer lol thats what i
do
literally i turn it off

maybe try simethicone drops. they come in
different brand names like ovol. i don't
know how young they can take them but our
doc recommended them for eadie when she
was about 1 month old. also make sure she
is feeding long enough on each breast so
she gets enough hindmilk to slow her
digestion down. it cuts down on gas quite
a bit. eadie only ever needed one breast
at each feeding because i had a lot of
milk.
get some sleep! it's hard when you want
"me" time isn't it? sleep just isn't the
same as being able to relax and do the
things you used to do. but try to get
some sleep before it really catches up
with you.

newborns, and its ok to use it with every
feeding apparently

had like an hours sleep!!
My poor baby!! I think it might be more
constipation! i feel so helpless and
frustrated!
I wish i was able to breast feed longer! i
feel some what responsible for her being
constipated because she's on
formula!!!

are her poops hard? or are they bubbly
and watery? you can give her a little
water as she may be a little dehydrated.
eadie takes water from a cup but you could
also use a dropper. also, drinking more
water yourself and maybe a little prune
juice could help. prune juice isn't that
great but i just water it down and it's
drinkable. my doc suggested that and it
helped a lot.

Why weren't you able to breast feed any
longer? Just wondering. I wasn't sure if
you posted about it before or not.

No! i was expressing every 3 hours but it
just got less and less!! i just wasnt
producing enough to satisfy her hunger.
I started expressing because it just got
too painful for me when she latched on. I
cried more breastfeeding than i did having
her!!  it was affecting
how i felt about her and because i have a
history of depression we thought it was
best that i stop.
i still feel very selfish though!

We have been giving her water cause it is
very hot here at the moment. Gave her
heaps yesterday but she still pushed out a
little 'nugget' last night!! the pooh
after was a sloppy one though!! It must
have done the job because she has been
asleep for a while now!!!
ok...i'll stop talking pooh now!!!!

Ah don't feel selfish. SOmetimes you got
to do what you have to do. At least now
you can hopefully bond better with her.
