Sometimes I found it uncomfortable, but then again, a lumpy (dry) front often beat a soaking night gown or bed (or husband). *giggle* I just remembered something. Early on, DB rolled over and snorted in his sleep. I was facing him and let down. *giggles* Jess Oh my! I remember nursing DD, when she was maybe a month old, and I was laying in bed facing DH with DD between us. DD unlatched herself and DH had a face full of milk. He accused me of spraying him on purpose! (heh... Like I'd never done *that* on purpose before! lol) |

Or am I doomed to soaking through multiple pads a day for the next couple of years? Not the end of the world, but I hate wearing bras,esp. at night. I have to though as I need something to hold the pads in else I wake up with a soaking top. Fold a towel in four and sleep with it under you. ATM you have an oversupply -- nature's way of ensuring there is plenty of milk. There is a hormonal feedback loop in operation too -- as the excess milk sits in your breast, it sends a signal saying "don't produce so much!". It will gradually calm down. I've got a few 'shelf bra tops' I'll wear at night....seems to work with pads. The towel just gets soaked,and I tend to move around a lot at night. Two things to note: - if it is hot where you are, make sure you keep *yourself* hydrated. I didn't pay attention last summer and gave myself heat exhaustion. Naturally good hydration will also help with constipation, as will eating plenty of fruit (BFing women should eat 5 pieces of fruit a day!) Yup, very hot here (in the 100s most days lately). But I'm the queen of water drinking. I acutally feel dehydrated very easily, so I drink a TON of water and live on fruit and yoghurt... .. - If you start feeling as if you are getting influenza -- feverish, achey, chills, fatigue etc -- especially if you have a sore or red area on your breast, go straight to a doctor. Mastitis is common when you are engorged, or your breast is injured by a knock or an ill-fitting bra. Mastitis can be knocked on the head early by antibiotics, but if you wait, it WILL get worse and take much longer to recover from. Thanks, I will pay close attention. I do get fatigue, and achey but I think that's related to the fatigue, which is related to lack of sleep for now ;-). Fortunately with DD nursing non-stop, engorgement is becoming less of a problem now. I'll keep an eye out for the symptoms though.

The range you get and the aim and accuracy that becomes a real skill... Especially when the most fun had during the day is changing a diaper of pee only! |

It's great when you can't throw a pillow across the room and he's pulling the "I can say that, you're tied down with the baby and can't reach me!" Watch me. ;D Jess |
