Terry Im with you, joining coz ill miss the group too much. Hope you ladies dont mind even though C was born 31st Aug LOL (she just couldnt hold in for 1 more day)
Chrispe DD sleeps for at least 3 hours most nights so I've been lucky to get blocks of sleep. Now that she has gained weight and I don't have to wake her to feed anymore hopefully I can get her sleeping for a few more hours
Hi Terry, that's great that your little girl is sleeping well!
DS3 was cluster feeding most nights since we came home. Then he started feeding every 3hrs (feeding for an hr then sleeping 2hrs) so 3-4 hrs sleep was a surprise!
was going to write a bit in here as well, but just heard DS start to stir. He had a late nap, which was good from the cooking tea point of view, but I'm not looking forward to trying to put him to bed tonight
So glad that all you ladies whose bubs arrived in August have decided to hang around with us I'd have missed you.
Hello ladies. I have finally had a chance to check in.
How is everyone going?
All good here. Amelia seems to have her days and nights around the right way now. She is awake a fair bit of the day but grizzles a lot. She seems to be in pain. It's horrible to see.
DDB, we're getting quite a bit of grizzling/in pain faces, etc, from Thor, too. Apparently the lactose levels in BM sometimes increase too fast for their systems to develop enough to cope with it, so they get a bit of temporary lactose intolerance as it sits there in their bellies and ferments a bit. We find that keeping him upright helps, and sleeping him on his belly on DPs chest - only ever while DP is awake - means he at least gets a good long sleep once during the day.

Oh Pholi you might be onto somethng.
DD has been so hard to settle and only likes to be held or sleeping on DH's chest we thought she was crsvng for human warmth.
I have been cutting out milk to see if thsts the causs.
example, yesterdau she would not sleep from 5.30am to about 1pm.
Everytime we tried putting her down after she closes her eyes she would sleep for like 5 mins then wake up crying again.
i saw in chemist last week this stuff you add to milk for lactose intolerance it was with the baby stuff so i assume it could be added to formula or expressed breast milk i will have better look when go town next time, and may give go myself as Amelia gets bad wind pains at times. She is mixed fed breast and formula (mostly breast) and she drinks a lot more than 60-80ml per feed lol. She averaging 120ml per feed about every 2 hours. I do wonder if this because she was big when born. And oh my do her fluffs stink. Pwoar.
Hello everyone glad to see some honorary September babymamas in here- I wouldn't have wanted to lose you! I am doing really well, Anissa sleeps and feeds and dirties many nappies so nothing much to report here!
