That’s Cassandra at day 15
and day 16
Baby C’s legs are very thin, they were even thinner at birth, just like skin wrapped round her bones. Sherilyn even commented yesterday that baby C’s legs are like ‘chicken legs’, how very right she was in her description, LOL!
I’ve been nursing Cassandra all day and night till my teats feel so sore. They even feel sore when they touch my clothes. My sil from HK has given me a very good Lanolin cream for nursing moms to apply on the nipples. Perhaps I should try them today, else I will not be able to nurse Cassandra anymore.

Thanks a lot for visiting my blog & comment. Apart from taking care pf babies anyway you’re finding some time for blog and posting . New baby monitor’s very useful. I’m not sure it is available in India. Thanks for the information. Baby C’s very curious.
Have a good rest
the nipple must be very sore…guess you will need to use a pump…if it worsens….the cream will help it to heal….
ouch…must be pain. try to put the BM on it, it works
wow, my eli wore long sleeve and long pants during his early months..
your baby just so “sexy” LOL
Ya the cream do helps. Worst come to worst pump out and spoon feed her loh.
Hi! Haven’t dropped by your blog for a while!
My now 3mth old Caleb is actually skinnier than my now 3yr old Caitlin, when she was around his age. But during his last visit the Dr Pixie he is actually still on the normal range of weight for his age. From your photos, Cassie looks fine, at least to me!
In my opinion, I think it’s better to start off childhood on the slim side, rather than on the plumb side. Because it’s a lot easier to put on weight later on in adult life, than to lose weight…
Actually it’s not just my opinion, it’s actually my experience! I am still carrying around baby fat that I gained over 30 years ago!
Take care!
I think when she grows up, she will look like a model 🙂 Tall, slim & slender.
TRy not to let her suckle too often (for soothing) unless she is hungry…maybe you can consider expressing it at the moment till u feel better.
Try applying some breast milk on your nipples and air them? That’s the most effective natural solution ever.
Don’t worry about the chicken leg. She will grow up well. I notice that she likes to turn her head to her right. Becareful not to let her develop this habit.
As for the nipple crack, I agree with giddy tiger, breast milk contains vitamin E which is very good for healing nipple cracks.
