xpost What a great pic, Nath! And yes, K's milk came in, maybe about day five? Latching was surprisingly easy--now our 'problem' is that we're always just a little worried that she's feeding too often (that we use the breast to soothe her too much, that maybe she's become a 'snacker' who doesn't suck enough to satisfy herself for very long, etc.).
But really I think that's pretty much an evening thing, when K's milk is lower...it happens every evening, but we've actually been having pretty good nights lately (fingers crossed): 2 or 3 hours of sleep in between feeds.

gooblar, don't worry (hahahah as if you're not going to) just go with the (milk) flow. i have heard of only one case where the mommy created a big fat michelin baby cause she BF like every other five minutes. heehee.
also, i think my first real experience of the joy of having two kids was when i put them in bath together and they really played together. SO SO SO much fun. nearly shed a tear. (yeah i'm a crybaby stfu)

X-post: Ah yes, the evening cluster feeds. Very common but it does pass -- for now, think of it as the baby getting her order in for the next day.

First Beeps pic is wonderful! She has hair a bit like Tallulah's; is it insanely fluffy and flyaway the morning after she's had it washed and you comb (hairpick, natch) it out? Cos I love that.
Arrival of a new camera in our household doesn't mean the kids are being any more cooperative for the lens, but I'll what I can dredge up from the first few hundred exposures tonight...
― Michael Jones, Saturday, 28 February 2009 21:20 (fifteen years ago) link
Owen looks so much older! Can't tell with Ben in that photo but I imagine the same goes for him.
PS: don't mind me lurking creepily here

michael, im not sure if beeps hair does that because she gets a bath before bed and i have to blowdry it so she wont be sleeping on a wet head of hair. i expect ill find out in summer after kiddy pool afternoons though.

wow i dropped off the parenting threads a while back and now there's a whole board. and an adorably boggling ilx brood to go with it. reproductive R us.
anyway, these days i'm sort of half a home-dad -- i have them every day from about 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., when the nanny comes and i go to work.
here's the 3 of us, recentlyhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/gypsyfrocksbedlam/Photo2503.jpg
(rex, 10 mos., on left; the indomitable z, 4 1/2, on right)
and here's a few of z's recent photo booth shots (i have literally thousands of these on my hard drive -- he's the one who first discovered all the effects and everything on it that i didn't even know were there)
