Feeling accomplished today. My mw told me I could take a shower, so my mom came over and also helped me give C her last sponge bath. Her cord fell off today so she's good to go for regular baths after tomorrow. She fell asleep again after, I took a shower and now it looks like nap time for mama!
thelittleredm I just started leaking like crazy today, but I bought lilypadz. They stick on your boob and prevent leaking and they are working great so far! Could be something to try if you want something that can be used without special clothing.
Hey all, This having 2 kids thing is taking some getting used to. I really can't wait until F has more of a routine going though but feel bad for wishing the early weeks away. This time around does feel easier but thats largely down to bottle feeding and having my partner take over from 10/11 until 4 am so I can get solid sleep. I can normally get F settled again from 6 until 9am so I'm able to sleep some more and then shower before getting M up.
otepoti, I'm glad your partner is stepping up and helping with overnights. Sleep truly is a big deal!
Right now I'm struggling with the kid who previously wouldn't get OFF the boob, because she won't get on. She took a nice nap on my mom before and I wanted to get her up around 430 because that was about 3 hours since she last ate. It's now 515 and we've been sleeping, screaming, or refusing the nipple ever since. She just wants to go back to sleep. I really want her to eat because it's too early for night time spacing right now.

rinny, I also had an uncomplicated vaginal delivery (2nd time mom), and my V was crazy sore for over 2 full weeks. On day 17 is when I started to feel better.
I gotta try these lilypadz. I (still) have that heat rash on my side boob that just won't go away and I've been too scared to do braless time for fear of randomly leaking everywhere.
