I've been reading all your updates,...Hey Jilly! I've been reading all your updates, just haven't had quite the opportunity to comment as of late!! I've been back to some of your older posts, too, to see what you experienced those first few weeks... :0) <br />Love Ty's pics-- he's such a cutie!! Sounds like our boys have some things in common, especially taking after their daddies!! <br />Hope BFing continues to get better... we have good sessions and some struggles. As for the bra- I also have a Bravado that I love! Super stretchy with no wires or anything. It's my favorite & has removable pads too so you can't see the circles from nursing pads... <br />Can't believe how fast the time goes!! I have a feeling I'll be the same way when moving up a size in clothes & diapers!! Sniff sniff... <br />Hugs & love to you three!! xoxo<br />The Other JillJillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14799313266996641814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211913724523284153.post-75992106482567229602010-09-27T15:09:54.514-05:002010-09-27T15:09:54.514-05:00Oh the breastfeeding woes....I give you credit for...Oh the breastfeeding woes....I give you credit for hanging in there.....it's sooooo tough....I give people credit that actually stick in there with exclusive bfeeding....it's sooo exhausting and seems like even up to a year they are wanting to eat every 2 to 3 hours all night long sometimes. Kudos to you!<br /><br />As far as bras, I never wore anything but a nursing tank......SOOOOOOO comfortable and non confining....I would never have worn a "regular" style bra....I LOVED my nursing tanks!<br /><br />Glad the cloth diaper thing is figured out! I knew you'd eventually find the culprit:)<br /><br />Love the new pics....he's growing sooooo fast!Cathy H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06272844448934528579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211913724523284153.post-11694723074343923592010-09-27T06:12:34.523-05:002010-09-27T06:12:34.523-05:00Weird about the bras.

My experience has been exactly the same, except I haven't been pumping much lately (though that's about to change as I head back to work). I think that business about establishing supply in the first couple of weeks makes perfect sense, and I, too, did poorly due to rough post-partum period. And lefty has about half as much as righty because L was neglected in those first few days because Charlotte had a hep-lock on her right wrist and so couldn't be comfortable on my left side. I SO wish the lactation consultants had told me clearly that my supply would not recover if I didn't establish it early. I put too much emphasis on getting rest, assuming that supply would catch up with demand later, which seemed sensible at the time, but I think in retrospect I should have just spent all my spare time pumping lefty. Ugh. Ty is adorable, as always! :-)Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10446633785327721455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211913724523284153.post-78771787752242998712010-09-26T06:49:13.697-05:002010-09-26T06:49:13.697-05:00You've surely read all the breastfeeding resou...You've surely read all the breastfeeding resources I have---I had a problem with G getting lots of foremilk due to oversupply issues, and in order for him to get more hindmilk I would block nurse him (nurse him on the same breast for 2 feedings in a row before switching to the other side) OR just start him out on the breast he finished on with the next feed, in this way he should get the hindmilk sooner on the 'empty' breast, before moving to the foremilk full breast...you may already be doing it, just figured I'll share what helped me. :-) He is just beeeeyooootiful. I know you are so happy.'Murgdan'https://www.blogger.com/profile/00740095971968567222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211913724523284153.post-87359554549546210312010-09-26T01:56:29.050-05:002010-09-26T01:56:29.050-05:00Love your updates and those cakes are FANTASTIC!!!...Love your updates and those cakes are FANTASTIC!!!

You're doing such a great job with the BFing and all. You're so right about the resting = more milk thing - I've noticed too that when I'm dog tired, there isn't a lot of milk and it picks up once I've had more of a rest. As for the bra thing, I haven't noticed any pain after wearing them. Have you been professionally fitted for a bra and are you sure you have the right size? Maybe you need something with a little less support that allows your boobs to move a little bit more rather than something with full support as that may be squeezing too much? <br /><br />I had to laugh at your video where you're trying to get Tyler to smile as I have made all of those noises and done exactly the same things to get my girls to smile. Too funny!<br /><br />Thanks for the update - keep 'em coming!<br /><br />P.S. Keep on the lookout for toe jam too as I always find lint in my girls' toes now and have to make sure I get it all during a bath!kayjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18256420678906545238noreply@blogger.com
