A month in the life of me...

Hello lovely ladies

So a month and a day has passed since I gave birth to Louis , the new ruler in my world.

The first week was tough if you can remember my last post was about breastfeeding and the advice I found was fantastic I posted a link too. After I overcome sore cracked bleeding nipples feeding baby was so much more comfortable. My little barracuda is growing strong and nurses around 10 times daily. ...

My children have been ever so good and at first wasn't sure about me feeding Louis they thought it was funny but now understand more clearly why.

There has been a few tough days but overall a very good month. My parents came to visit so they took the load off getting out and about with the eldest children.

I've managed to get out and feed only on a few occasions, I purchased the breastfeeding cover from mothercare what a load of poo. It's heavy and baby can't see much as its completely dark. So I purchased the best thing ever a nursing cover from lovebyjo type in on facebook. This design lets you see you baby gives until ate privacy too and the fabric is sooo soft and cool. Just had to share.

So I'm celebrating a month yesterday well done me on feeding baby by breast.

Hope your all doing well much love allyemo1985 xx

Lol no secret me and hubby seem to be much more laid back this time. .... However the only rule I do have as lights stay out at night time only a nightlight is allowed and baby dosnt get attention only to feed so they know its time for sleep. Worked for my other too they sleep really well. Xx

How long have you got left now Hun? You,ll be fine its all about relaxing and not getting to overwhelmed. Limit visitors and establish feeding is my only one advice that seen me though. Thank you and all the best for your journey into motherhood xx

I know Hun its flown by I had my parents come and visit so that tooktheload off for me with my other two children. Dubai it is :-) its rather jot too hot for baby so I'm confined to air con, the little outdoors I've had is ver early morning at 6am for a quick. Stroll but even that makes us both rather pink and sticky hot. Breastfeeding is actually promoted here you can feed where you like but you must make sure you are under cover of baby sheath. Of course its Ramadan so no where is open so I'm looking forward to being able to have a coffee and feed and getting out being much easier with an established routine, feeding on demand at mo. xx
