hi all.

hope every1 is enjoying with their lil ones- experience of a lifetime, isnt it!? well, as 4 me, it is still to sink in!!!i mean the romance aspect of it:)tho i am the emotional sorts, i have suddenly bcum practical-im more preoccupied by the routine aspects and nitti gritties-feeding, burping, cleaning, his problems, cleaning, bathing, massaging, clothes...and in btwn strugggling 2 find time 4 my own routine jobs:) there r times when i get time to brush n badhe only in the afternoon:)this is inspite of the fact tht i have help- hubby, mom-in-law and some1 to wash the clothes! makes me wonder if i am a bad time manager or does it actually demand so much time?! do other moms keep so busy as well?

i also wanted tofind out what to do abt milk leakage from the breasts. i have had this prob from the begining itslf.while i am feeding yash from one, the other breast starts leaking. they also leak on their own any time of the day tht i have to change my clothes.

i know abt brst PADS- but prefer to use them only when i have to go out.

EXPESSING out cud b another option but i dont know how much to expressout-less would be left 4 the baby i fear.

can any1 offer more suggesstions?wud be thankful.

love to all lil ones,
shaily:) Shanthi replied. How r u doing? I guess we all here have very much the same routine with the babies. Its all matter of time .. am sure we can manage it pretty well by the time our lil ones cross a month.

I use disposable nursing pads daily. Its very comfortable and I dont have to get embarrassed incase i have sudden visitors. Try wearing these pads with a nicely fitted bra even at home.

Also, another option is to pump milk between the feeds .. so that it doesnt over flow. Whenever u feel its leaking , pump it! U get elctric pumps which can express milk from both the breasts at the same time. The main idea is the baby to have breastmilk .. \";how he gets it\"; - shouldnt really matter! So u dont have to feel guilty abt it :-)

Take care! Smom replied. Leaky breasts will become okay once your supply gets adjusted to your baby's demand. Just make sure you are feeding as son as your baby is hungry (with MIL around, that will surely happen!). It might not be necessary to express. Expressing might increase demand in excess of need.
