I guess the main thing that has changed is BFing. I am now exclusively pumping and bottle feeding. Crazy, yes. I am pretty bummed because initially I thought I was going to be one of the lucky ones, and for a while I was- no need to supplement, great latches straight off the bat, tandem nursing no problem, and then.... turns out I have too MUCH milk, and way too fast of a letdown. Essentially the babies were drowning in milk whenever I fed them- chugging, gulping, choking and gagging. Of course this only made the reflux issue worse, not to mention an already bad gas problem! I tried different positions etc. etc. and nothing helped. My only other option was pumping before I fed them.... right, well, since they aren't on strict feeding schedules, I can't imagine waiting until they were hungry to pull the pump out and pump first! So, bottles it is... for now! Hopefully in another month or so they will be able to keep up and I can stop pumping!
Anyway, my favorite thing right now is baby smiles!! Mia especially is quite the ham! Ben likes to make you work for them. I was taking some two month pics last week, and well, I had a hard time picking my favorite smiles! Sorry for the overload!
