If he cries, you should put a boob on it…

June 19, 2013 by heatherss 3 Comments

 (coutesy http://justmommies.com) If you're a fan of my poetry (remember my fertility poetry:  - I just haven't met you yet, I'm over it,  Happiness), I now have a baby version based on my go to solution for baby cries when all else is exhausted.

Week 5: Latching On and Getting Out

I finally got a good latch with the breastfeeding and we seem to be getting on the right track. Make no … [Read more...]

Hi bleeps! I know I haven't updated this blog in a while. I have been very busy with Nicholas. He is at the moment all clean, nappy changed and fed, so should be sleeping for a bit.

Birth Part Two: First Week Freak Out

June 18, 2012 by heatherss 21 Comments

PART TWO: THURSDAY- SATURDAY: THE FIRST FEW DAYS I ended off the first post on Nicholas’ birth by saying that it is a bit of a shock to find that the little one you have been carrying inside you for so long is now a real live baby that you have to care for. Lulu put it really well: Here is … [Read more...]
