Well, .Jenny is 3 weeks old tomorrow..
And I think she's changed loads since she
was born! Her face is getting chubbier,
and she's definitely piling the weight
on.. Not surprising really, she eats like
a little horse!!
I've taken loads of gorgeous pics of her..
And as i'm not feeling very well today I
thought i'd post some more of them to
cheer myself up. I'm such a proud momma

Words can't describe her beauty. The two
of you are amazing.
no i'm not breastfeeding her.. I tried,
but she couldn't get the hang of it. I
was expressing my milk for her, but she
eats so much now that it's painful to
express so much because I have an evil
breast pump that hates nipples

She is absolutely scrum!
Hey, at least she got your very first
milk, .Zanny, the colostrum will have
helped her no end. Don't worry about not
being able to continue, as long as she's
growing and healthy that's all that
matters. You're doing a fine job!
She's definitely growing.. She's put on
11oz in the last 6 days!! She'll be a big
strong girl in no time

Zany shes sooo cute. Did you think of
renting a breastpump? Thats what I did,
it is like 20 dollars a week I rented the
symphony from medela its great I love it.
There are also herbs you can take, I just
bought these drops called more milk
somethingerother all natural and you take
a 1/4 teaspoon 4 times a day, I also
started to go to la leache league meetings
and the women were so helpfull.. Im
afraid im going to have the same problem.
Its so hard to pump every hour or two..
Plus feed the baby formula and
breastfeeding then pumped breastmilk..
Sucks its not so easy for some of us
I know, it got too hard to keep up with
all the expressing.. I bought a breast
pump, but it wasn't the best one because
initially I thought i'd only be using it
every now and again when I went out. It's
so frustrating to express and nothing
comes out.. That's what was happening by
the end.. It was fine when she was only
taking 1oz of milk each feed, but now she
takes 3oz every time and my boobs couldn't
keep up with it! I've seen sooo many
different people about breastfeeding, but
it's not that i'm doing anything wrong..
It's just that she can't do it.
My milk has dried up now, I stopped
expressing a few days ago. I'm fine with
bottle feeding her.. It's really not the
"evil" thing my midwives made it out to
be!
Good luck with breastfeeding/expressing
for .Jana.. I hope everything goes ok for
you!

She is a beautiful girl! I can't believe
your midwives made bottle feeding out to
be evil..That's silly. There is nothing
at all wrong with bottle feeding. Brest
feeding is hard, I know it was for me. I
started bottle feeding ethan the day we
got home from the hospital. I expressed
with a breast pump also, but it started to
hurt really badly, so I stopped.
I
love her. She's so precious zanny, you
should be proud! I'm happy shes finally
here, and healthy!
