On advice from a friend who had twins a few months before DS, I purchased a full waterproof mattress cover for our bed. It's got pretty nice padding on top of the plastic bit, so it doesn't feel like we are lying on plastic or anything horrid like that. We've got a waterproof mattress cover, which is fabric-feeling, and zips over the mattress under the sheet. That's what saved the mattress from the first poopy diaper. But it didn't save the sheet, and washing the cover would be even worse than washing the sheets in terms of wrestling with the mattress. So I just put a waterproof mat under me, and any milk / drool / spit-up / diaper leaks go into the wash along with the cloth diapers. Phoebe |

FWIW, might be TOO much milk, coming too fast, hence she's dealing with it just fine, starting letdown, and then popping off when it overwhelms her.

Oh, here's a good one--fist goes into mouth. Mommy removes fist and tries to start a latch. Other fist replaces first fist. Repeat. As baby becomes more and more agitated and frantic because there's no milk coming out of the things in her mouth. Phoebe |

(Maybe you already knew that......sorry, posting on the fly) yup, the coughing and sputtering tends to give it away I'm one of those rare persons who doesn't have a supply problem, unless you consider too much a problem... since she started sleeping 8 hours lately, it seems like I will be doing a lot more washing of towels... Edith nak - where does she put it all? |

I usually just end up sitting up and nursing with lots of pillows behind me so I can lean back and doze. If you find yourself nursing sitting up you may want to invest in a good quality wedge pillow for your back prop. Mine makes a world of difference. I slept through most of the night feedings sitting up. I keep the wedge pillow at the head of the bed all the time (I simply sleep a little lower in the bed than my husband does), and keep a good nursing pillow beside me for easy grabbing. I could never figure out how it was going to be easier to wedge/prop/position myself for side nursing, so I quit trying. Now I kind of wish I could do it, since the sleepy nursing hormones don't work so well anymore and M still wakes at least once most nights, but it's not too bad.
