So since being home I have gotten the hang of breast feeding.  It is a bit of a process and Tyler can get a bit grumpy with me for taking so long some times but it does work and he attaches straight away. I use a little syringe suction device thing to draw the nipple out and it also causes a little milk to come out. I put that little bit of milk onto a nipple shield and put that over the nipple. Bang he is on, good suction and doesn't hurt.  In saying that though I think I might have a blocked duct on my right boob. It hurts a little bit when he attaches and I have noticed that when he feeds from the right boob he doesn't ever settle and always seems hungry afterward but as soon as I feed him from the left bang, milk coma! I just tried to really massage it under a hot shower so hopefully that helped. I might have to keep going with the right boob for a bit and give the left a break and just express from it.  Expressing doesn't put direct pressure on those ducts and it also means Tyler is still getting what he needs. It might help me massage some of those lumpy ducts as well!

So photo time!!

This is our gorgeous little man! As you can see he does A LOT of sleeping! lol I am sure this will come to an end though.  He is a very contented baby and settles really well, well other than after a feed on that left boob!

Co-sleeping, probably only for a few weeks before we put him in the bassinet but I like to be able to hear him close to me while I am learning the sounds he makes. 

Enjoying some play time although still way way way too early to have any idea what is going on lol
