    OMG! I fed her a bottle today! Well... most of one. But hooray!

    She is a VERY windy baby and she stopped about 40 mils into a 58 mil feed not because she is out of energy but because she won't suck when she has wind pain. But the nurses said she is also the most difficult child to burp and they've not been able to figure out how to get the gas out of her. She won't burp, just farts an hour or so later. Any ideas? I hope it isn't my BM, that would suck . What causes super bad wind?
    Woo hoo!!!!! Go little girl!

    Lol the wind stuff sounds all too familiar to me. (all of mine have been like that to start with).
    Super bad wind (or hard to burp) are just more signs of a slightly immature gut. There are so many different positions for burping- also if you can get your DH to do the 'daddy jiggle' it can make a difference.

    AFM- I'm writing you from my room in the Womens & Childrens hospital. Started having 'intense, irregular, tightenings' on Monday evening, which then continued all night & most of Monday morning. They stopped for a couple of hours (yay) but then started back up with a vengeance. Also was having some back pain & abdominal aches so the midwife told me come & get checked. Was 2cm dilated.

    They now have me on a uterine relaxant & steroids for baby.
    Looking at being here until at least Friday- depending on what happens in the mean time. So far tightenings have settled down, but who knows what could happen in the Nast short while.....
