:hello: murph wow you're really serious about KI. goodluck to DH :D
Kelly D :cheer: for Tara well done little one.
Grub I can't wait for those sleeps. Sorry to hear feeding is still a struggle, hope it gets easier for you soon.
Neptune goodluck with going back to uni :D supa mum
ATM Lincoln put on weight but did a BIG poo right before weigh in so he was 30gms under birth weight oh well. DH found a lump on his collar bone the other night which is making both of us worry. No pain and he's still using his arm on that side but doesn't like to sleep with his head that way any more (in hosp it was his fav side). My pediatrian is away so I'm going to a clinic today. (worry mum alert).
The lactation nurse said I should wake him 3 hourly during the day to get his calories up so he sleeps more at night. Well we tried this for three feeds yesterday and nope 3 hourly on the dot. Maybe it takes a while.
I had two marithon feeds too last night. I was so tired at his 5am feed I got a little distressed and decided to try feeding lying down (not a good idea) made me more tired and didn't really work.
Bubs has a bit of an upset tummy too. Not uncontrolable but he's bringing his knees up and is unsettled for a few minutes, seams to calm down when on me. Just need to make sure he's not really screaming when attaching (ouch!!!!!)
Neptune: We have a high chair that reclines slightly but haven't used that, I have been using her bouncer so she is not quite sitting upright but still sitting up enough to eat.
Back from Mothers Group and weigh in, Tara is now 6.455kg's and 62 cm long. She is now more than double her birth weight (by .055grams) and is above average in weight & height and way above average in head size... I keep telling DH I am not going to put headbands on or ribbons in her hair as it will just make her head look even bigger and I was right she has lots of brains in there :lol:
Yay, go Tara, grow grow grow! Adam was 7.8kg last week :redface::redface:
Thanks for that info Kelly.:D
What the...?! You guys breeding giants out that way? :lol:
wow! big bubbas!
E got weighed yesterday on mum and dad's scales - she is around 9.2kg now - not bad at 8.5 months!
God BG, Adam will probably be that weight at 5 months!!!!
No-body has been more shocked than me Marcellus :lol: However, in Adam's defence, he was huge at birth 4.47kg and was off the percentile charts, but now he is in the 90th percentile, so believe it or not, I think he is slowing down!!
That's a good birth weight! A was only 4.29kg, but dropped like a stone on those charts after birth. I just had a really awesome placenta :D
E was a dainty poppet til she started solids at 6 months - actually, until the reflux started to settle around 7 months - now she is putting weight on at a great rate - i'm happy - she is a lovely littlle chubba bubba, ave height, 75th percentile weight - and massive head (just like mummy and daddy!)
she loves her solids - but refuses mush! will have yogurt but refuses mashed veg at all. i think i'd get shot down in flames if i tried rice cereal or food from a jar! love that she is little miss independent though - today we all had toasted sandwiches for lunch - makes it so easy that we all eat the same...
is hot here today - migth put her chubby little butt in the pool later i think
That's good BG - mashing and pureeing is a pain anyway.
Geez Neptune, Adam is one huge bubba... You must have the strongest biceps carrying him around.
I was just wrapped that Tara has put on some more weight as the MCHN has been a bit critical of me as she was only having 3 bottles a day, but what I could I do I can't force her to have more than she wants. Although she seemed happier today when I told her that Tara is now having a small bottle after she has her solids (although she then won't have a full bottle later on, so she still has the same quantity).
BG: I've been trying Tara on the pre made stuff to see how she went with all the new flavours. I didn't want to purchase a whole heap of stuff to find out she wasn't ready, although I gave her Rafferty's Garden Pear, Banana and Mango today (first time) and she scoffed about 50mls in no time so obviously she likes that one. I'm going to give it a couple more weeks then start trying with the potato, pumpkin and sweet potato. How cool though that E will eat what you have, it must be so much easier to plan meals when you don't have to do seperate meals for her and then you and DH.
Now working out the percentiles, Weight: 75th, Height: 75th, Head: 90th, yep that's one big scone...
don't worry Kelly - E is 50th for height, 75th for weight, 97th (or above) for her boof head! but she is just perfect anyway!
the eating thing is so much easier on us - except when people assume, becuase she is a baby, that she needs mush (even when you say no) and then they mash her veg and take it personally that she won't eat it! the only thing we've had that she didn't like much was mum's shepherds pie - i don't think she liked the consistency of the meat (it was ground up leftovers, but not much gravy on it) - so she ditche that and had curried pasta instead! i may try her on something like egg custard in a tin eventually, just so i can have something in her bag in case we're out and she eats all of the other food (can't exactly keep yogurt in there!) - but i'm not phased if she never has tin stuff. it is working for us... i know my sil used a mix of fresh and tinned stuff. i guess the only thing i'd suggest is, if you have bubba that likes tin stuff, try to intruduce stuff with more texture (roughly mashed rather than pureed) sooner rather than later - from what she said, her first took a lot more to eat other stuff as she just wanted puree cos it was easy...
sigh - i love my girl! i went to bed with a migraine earlier - she slept for me - the whole time - through a mammoth thunderstorm and everything!
BG: Thanks for the advice re: introducing the textures. I might try that when I start with the veggies as I can puree them down to a consitency that I think will work. I have already started making her rice cereal thicker as she is having thickened formula she assumed the more runnier cereal was a bottle.
You have such a considerate little girl there to know when mummy needed some time to recover, she seems very in touch with feelings and emotions.
she is very in touch with my emotions - which is mostly good - except at times when i'm not in a good headspace - she seems to want to be velcro at those times. at the moment, it's pretty full on after a death in the family - but it will get better. she is fine while DH is home to share the attention, but i think i'm not feeling as patient and she is more needing me and the reassurance:
Hello,
I lost my entire post today. I was so ripped off because Jasmine was having the best after breaky sleep that went from 9.00 til 1.00pm. I don't know where that came from, she wasn't sick or anything just slept (like a baby). So there I was writing a record holding long leisurely post and I was banging on to KellyD about how the hearing aids are a waste of time and how no one from the therapy programs has been back in touch and it's all a bit frustrating as the cochlears have to be done before she turns 12 months, and you wouldn't believe it, the phone rang and I was put on a conference call with 4 people who are coordinating all the interviews and arranging meetings with all the relevant people to get the ball rolling on cochlear implants and therapy.. Half an hour later, I get back to my almost finished BB novel and wouldn't you know...the Gremlins ate it:wall:.
So the news onthe cochlears is that we are now looking at having them done before 7 months old if all the pre tests and screens show she is compatible, so it's action stations now. we have to have all our appointments in Brisbane so that's going to be a bit of air and car travel and we have to have all the ground work done, like CT scans, MRI scans (under general anaesthetic) before the implants, which all is done in Brisbane:o:o Wow! I feel like the White Rabbit now.
Greenslw: yep, he's deadly serious about the job on Kangaroo Island . this is a real springboard inthe beginning of his new career as a wildlife biologist if he gets it. Of course, if I said, lets not do this because it's going to break my heart to be so far from my family, he would think that's perfectly reasonable and would pull out, but we have always worked as a team and this is one of those things that is too great an opportunity to miss out on. He is so nervous, I had to pull out a few flippin swear words to get him to settle down this morning. He put my flippin butter and bread away 3 times in the space it took me to toast my bread. Anyone would think he was pregnant...haha, didn't you put your mail in the toaster??? Well i called DH a feckin eedgit and I think that cleared things up. It's those loving supportive words that get us through:lol:
BG: Sorry to hear that you are dealing with a loss in the family and it's impacting on Emerald. I hope that everything is back in balance for you all soon.
I can't do my long ramble that I wanted to cos I gotta take DH to the airport tomorrow and gotta catch some zzzzzs. He is taking the internet connection with him...booo! So for those of you who know me, that's no man, no internet and no T.V!!!!!!! Is this the Armagedon???
P.S just to add to your brag file on baby weights...oh dear, mine is a wee bit :redface: I sometimes feel that I should be in the premmie thread when you girls do your comparisons...Jazzy is now on the chart for weight and is in the bottom 3rd percentile:o :dance: She is perfectly happy and never loses weight and she is now measuring 59cm so she is getting to be long and lean. Her head has always been in the 50th and length as well, and weight was so far off teh chart it didn't rate, so big sheers for 3rd percentile and 4.47kilos (last week).
Neptune, it's never lost on me that that was Adam's weight born and now Jazz is 14 weeks. she was only 2 weeks early so my placenta wasn't in great shape like yours.
I said heaps more before but have to say it another time and will miss you for three whole days...
Ah, we'll miss you Murph. Don't implode, ok?
Don't worry about Jazzy's weight - she's doing great! (and good news about the implants too)
oh BG you are so very lucky that Miss E enjoys food. As Lyla goes to childcare during the day, I have no idea how the carer go about in feeding her. From what I gathered the carer tries very hard to make sure Lyla eats at least 2/3 of what I prepared her even though I stress that I am not concern if she doesn't eat as long as she gets to experience the food.
I am currently very torn between giving her full on non-mushed food vs semi-mushed food. Non-mushed means she would have to feed herself but I don't think the carer would cope very well with this as it is very messy and time consuming which the carer does not have time to clean as well as monitor her eating.
Oh, how do you increase the "chunkiness" of the food. I waited for Lyla to show me signs that she prefers chunkier food and so far she likes avocado mashed or whole. I gave her whole pieces of fruits, paw paw, mango, peach, figs( fresh and she doesn't like cos it has seeds) and she would bite and chew but most of the food would be spilling out of her mouth. Does that mean she is not ready for chunky food?
Kelly, Lyla's poo were runny prior to solid but once she went on solid she swings the other way - got constipated. Just so if Tara is the same, give her plenty of peach and pear (this means introduce these food early) as they do relieve constipation. I now give Lyla prune juice and she is doing well in the poo department. I feel rather guilty as I have no idea how to make prune juice so bought it pre-made in the shops. Do you think that's o.k.? I diluted it as well.
Kahlan, we just gave A chunks from the start. He didn't eat much at first, but that's ok, they eat it when they need it, know what I mean? Practice makes perfect, as they say ;)
As for the carers - they should be doing things as you wish. That includes the way she feeds your DD. It's less time consuming if you give them pieces to feed themselves anyway - though, yes, it does still leave the messy cleanup.
I've missed a whole thread :( Going to try and catch up and jump back in here.
Have been having a shocking time with sleep in this house. A combination of things I think - teething, separation anxiety, lots of new things happening and it's just thrown everything out of whack. I hope things calm down soon once we change the sleeping arrangements because we all need some decent sleep in this house!
We have decided to put DS into daycare for one day each week as I am going to start looking for part time work. This way if I find something and need to start straight away, he's already going. I've taken him a couple of times this week just to have a play and some morning tea and he's been happy to play and let someone else carry him and he had no trouble yelling at the carer when his banana ran out!! lol To be honest, I am also looking forward to a few hours to myself and have someone else get him to sleep for a change. I can do the shopping, get the housework done etc. It's all been impossible the last couple of months with a velcro baby, and I feel myself slipping into a place I don't want to be.
:hug: Megan. We all need our space and ability to wind down from the stresses of being a mother, especially when dealing with a velcro baby. I hope that the day of DC works really well for you and DS and gives you the space you need, and that some decent sleep comes your way soon. Make sure that you speak to people - here on BB is great place to start! - about what's going on for you - it's important to have the right support around you when you're not feeling great when you can feel your headspace changing to one that's not great. I know it's hard to find the time in the circumstances but it's important that you're not isolated with how you are feeling and what you're dealing with as a mother. Use that day of DC to look after you too, including talking about what you're going through. Thinking of you.
Murph - I really admire all your determination and drive to get everything organised for Jasmine's implants now, and just your attitude to dealing with it overall. You're one strong mummy! :hug: I hope that everything goes smoothly with appointments and procedures leading up and that you're feeling okay as the time draws nearer.
:hello: everyone. We're back from a week "holiday" to Norway (it wasn't really a holiday IMO, but that's a whole other story) and I've got a toddler just getting over a stomach bug the day after we arrived home now straight into more awesome teething (premolars this time) so she won't eat but at least she's still BFing. I'm not in a particularly good place right now (PND flaring up) so I'm sorry for no other personals - I'm following you all and really enjoy hearing about the wonderful milestones and achievements (and GROWING!) all the littler bubs are doing.
Hi all, just taking five minutes while bubs is in sling to type.
OK DH went back to work today and I have found the only way I can do anything is to have him in the sling. I guess I have a velcro baby. Keep telling myself this will pass. Starting expressing so I can get five minutes break in evenings while DH feeds him. Will see how that goes. If bubs is not in sling he will not sleep. Only other place he sleeps is with us in bed at night and only after boob and perhaps if I pat him on my chest. Trying not to feel guilty when HV says I should be trying to get him to self settle. I had to put him in his basket today for five minutes so I could go to toilet and he screamed the whole time. he really worked himself up to a hysterical scream. I never wanted to do that to him and have no intention of doing that on purpose again. I may have to do it in desperate times again but never as 'training' He does sit a little longer in his bouncer and sometimes will contiunue a sleep in his basket if out there after dozing off but he will not self settle.
Other than that he is gaining weight well and breastfeeding is not hurting so much anymore. He still is a c**p attacher but lots of mums at my mother's group said that as long as it doesn't hurt and he is putting on weight than it can't be bad. Feeds are starting to space out a little more and miraculously this morning he was grizzling and I offered him boob and he refused it!!!! He settled when I put him on my chest and slept for ages. The first time he has ever grizzled for being tired and not for being hungry!!! Yay!!!!!
Murph - still following your story my treechange friend! Great guns with the implants...I hope they are the ticket!
Acacia - I hope you are recovering from the holiday (or not holiday!)
Kelly - Tara sounds like she is doing really well. I cannot wait for solids! Less time chained to the couch feeding I hope! And as DH is the cook in our house he can prepare the baby's food!!!
Persies are still not really possible for me sorry as I am dealing with the master of velcro! As my posts get longer and I start doing persies you will see things are getting better my end!!! LOL
poppyfairy - I just wanted to say that please *please* don't let anyone - especially your HV - let you feel guilty for the fact that your DS is not self settling and that you're not or haven't yet "trained" him to self settle.
At his age, babies (I won't say all, but the very vast majority) just want to be near mum! They are still getting used to the big wide world and want to sleep with the same kind of comfort and security and warmth and comfort and comfort and comfort (you get the picture) that they had in utero. Who can blame them!? It's perfectly natural for them to want to sleep with your smell, your warmth and your sounds (i.e. heartbeat) that they are used to. You are their world!
It's such a big, overwhelming thing to have this little person be totally dependent on you for absolutely everything and you not have a break or space, but I promise that as time goes on, it will change and your beautiful velcro bub will start to become more independent and curious about the world outside of his mummy before too long.
Keep doing what you are doing - your Mummy instinct serves you well and tells you what feels right for a reason - it is best for you and your DS in your situation. "Training" your DS to self settle if you thought it was something that you did want to do would at his age is not something that is recommended in any case - he is much to young to understand the concept of going to sleep on his own and it would feel like abandonment to him. I know I'm using strong language here, but there is research that backs this up, and I do feel strongly about it and think that you're doing a wonderful job - even though I know how full on it is to have a tiny velcro baby.
FWIW, my DD, whilst she doesn't often co-sleep any more, still has cuddles to sleep at 14 months old and I either feed her and/or cuddle her back to sleep at night when she wakes - and I wouldn't want it any other way, even though my HV seems to think she should be "old enough" to go to sleep/get back to sleep on her own. Jeez - I like cuddling to sleep, so why shouldn't my DD be allowed to do that too?! You do what feels right for you, poppy, and don't feel guilty or pressured in your parenting choices - you're doing so well :hug:
yeah - what Acacia said!
at one month, even if you wanted to go the path of controlled crying for self settling, it's far too early - the concept doesn't come into things until about 6 months - before that they are simply too young to understand
i had a velcro bub when she was little - wouldn't sleep anywhere but on me and it drove me a little bit insane to be honest. but, at about five months, we managed to get her settling in her cot just by being with her - never let her cry, we just sat with her and let her rest off to sleep. most times now she happily goes to her cot herself but we have to be with her - even if just sitting there with my head on the cot bars with my eyes closed.
your bubba will grow and change and will be ok eventually to self settle - just go with your gut
poppy slings are great, my little one loves it too and you can do things if you have the energy.
Murph well if things go well We might have to do a coffee some time. DH is still wanting to move back there ASAP. only 2 years till DSS finishes year 12. And now I"m a mum (still funny to say) The quieter life is ok. Hope DH did flippin well :D
Hi to everyone else forgive the lack of post today 3 hour feed last night :o
ATM little man was so unsettled last night, I think due to Nurse visit, then hospital visit then xray and the heat.
He's got a heat rash and a broken collar bone! from the delivery but it's not painful and will heal completly by 3 months (big sigh of relief)
He woke up at 11am and was so clingy till 2am wanting to feed the whole time, DH woke up to me crying and took him for 20mins, gave him a belly rub which brought on a big poo, DH changed him then gave him back to me for one last feed then he crashed till 5.20! just in time to give dady a kiss before he left for work.
I decided to stay awake this feed have a shower and breakfast but I'm going to spend the rest of the day in bed. I'm so hoping he is better tonight.
Poppy and Green, hang in there, you are both doing brilliantly! It may not feel like it, but you are. You are getting to know your babies, and soon you will get to the point where you are confident that you know what to do next and you will take all advice with a grain of salt. At the moment, it is all about survival, there is NO routine and just get through the next few hours, and you will be fine.
Poppy, I don't know what an HV is but no one should be telling you you're doing the wrong thing, when clearly you are being a wonderful, responsive parent to your little bubba. At that age, a velcro baby = a normal baby. Some will be happy on their own and self settle, but most don't. In my opinion, it's not something you can teach, it's a part of their development that they do when they're ready to do it. By listening to his needs and responding to them you are building a close bond built on mutual trust and understanding. This will help him feel secure and set him on the path to independence. :hug:
Acacia - thanks for popping in with your words of wisdom. I hope your DD is feeling better soon and that you're taking care of yourself :hug:
Enjoy your day in bed Green
:redface: oh wow you girls are so good at perssies lol im not just yet so i just wanted to pop my head in and say a big hello to you all today,thinking of you all and have a great day.
:ROFL: you still managed tho! bbbaaahahaahaa.:
hey that's great they are pulling their finger out for jazzy. But sometimes don't you wish you lived closer to a capital city so it wasn't such a hassel! Jazzy will be a travelling pro by her first birthday. Seriously, fingers crossed all the tests go well and she's an ideal candidate.
green - you are doing a great job love! and i always keep in mind "he'll pass out soon enough'' lol.
acacia those cuddles ound devine! i figure they r only little for such a short time and soon enough it won't be 'cool' to cuddle mum lol. for me i can't stop kissing ash, even after he peed, then pooed,then vommed on me within 30mins this morn!
gotta go - 1 handed typing isnt as easy as murph makes out!
hi marcellus, megan, neptune, poppy, bg, kahlan, kellyy and all the lovely mummies ox
Just dropping in to say hi....
I'm not feeling up to persies today, this humidity is s**t and I feel so drained, even missy is struggling and is quite tired and lethargic :pray: it will be gone soon.
And lucky us, just when she is not coping with the weather we are off to have 4 mth immunisations tomorrow (because she is 4 months old tomorrow, poppy & green time goes so quickly). I think she might know what I am going to be doing to her, last time I could distract her with her bottle but don't think that will work tomorrow.
BBL to catch up an you all.
Hi girls,
No time for persies from me today but just want to wish Murph and Jazz luck with the hearing business.
Marcellus, you have inspired me. I told DH what you said and we are going to try more chunky stuff from now on.
Green, glad to hear that your little guy won't be need much intervention re: collar bone.
Lyla has a cold, I think, runny nose and coughing... she has started to be rather chesty so I am torn... I was hoping the cold would go away without me having to give her some medicine but I am not sure now. She is still feeding well, happy alert though. What you do all think? Should I or shouldn't I.
Oh for those who are using disposable nappies, Pampers nappies are on sale at Coles. I found them to be more superior to Huggies but because they are much dearer I only use them for nights...but now with the sale I am hoarding them....
Night Night
Ladies Thanks so much for all your support! Acacia, Marcellus, BG, Green and Neptune!
I feel soooo much better about how I am doing things. My instincts tell me that my LO needs this time with me and I am going to continue ignoring the HV (HVs are the health visitors who take over from the community midwives when your baby is 10 days old here in the UK. They are nurses who visit, weigh and check your baby over and distribute pamphlets telling you not to smoke or shake your baby etc!!! A bit of Nanny State Britain!!)
Green- My baby cluster feeds like that too. Nightime is hell here. He feeds from about 8pm till 2am most nights but then crashes and sleeps till 7am. I feed him on the couch until we go to bed at midnight and then feed him for the two hours in bed. Feeding lying down is getting better with us. He doesn't attach as well but we are getting there and the bed is usually a mess of milk stains by morning!! He tends to have tons of wind at night as well. I think it builds up in the day as he feeds really well (efficiently and quickly) in the morning feeds and is really chilled out and burps after a feed by himself mostly, but by night he screams on the boob, thrashes about tugging at the nipple and needs tons of patting and burping to get rid of the wind. I read somewhere that keeping them upright for at least ten minutes after every feed all day can help with stopping the build up of wind. I am trying it from now on.
poppy seams like our bubs are in tune with each other if not us! lol
Well day in bed didn't happen baby hasn't slept more than an hour since ummmm I think yesterday morning. I haven't slept more than 20mins since then either. :( I'm very teery today.
Wind is my baby's enemy too, he burbs but obviously not enough. So after a good feed at 9am and he fell asleep till 10.30 I decided it's going to be a sling day. He needs to sleep. I'm confident he's eating enough as his nappies are always heavy. Just need to get back on the sleep track.
It's funny how so many of my friends have had babies but they hid this from me! THey all say it's normal but I never sore it.
Kalan hope all is well in your house.
Kelly goodluck with needles today :hug: it's so hard to watch.
grub you're doing great one handed I can't but sling means both hands free.
Hi smithy hope you're going well and your buba is staying wind free.
Thanks Neptune. I think I've got caught up in what should happen, I like the day at a time motto.
Hmm little man is grunting away like a little piggy but his eyes are shut, so I'm hoping he's dreaming and not just playing possum, I figure he hurd me typing away when he was in my belly so on some level this may be soothing, anyways it's keeping mum sane.
Fingers crossed we get some zz's tonight
Poppy - it's called witching hour....only it lasts half the night :doh:
Kahlan - do you have a vaporiser? sometimes they're helpful for congestion. I guess keep an eye on her and ask your nurse if it seems to be getting worse
take care everyone
ETA - :hug: Green.
:) BIG hellos today girls
Big hello to you Smithy, hope everything is going well with Charlie. All's good here, although big storm just hit in Sydney, so I'm going to shut down the lap top!!!!
Just updating you on how we are going...
I'm thinking of you all, especially green & poppy as these early weeks can take so much out of you and I 'm hoping you will get on top of the wind issue and before you know it it will all be a blur (although it probably is already if you are both sleep deprived)
Big hello to all my other lovely mummies, you all have so much going on I'm finding it hard to keep up with you all, but you are all in my thoughts always.
Anyway, my little princess was so good getting her needles. No screams, just a little whimper when the first one was done and then thought about it for the second needle but decided against it as it was over before she realised. She was such a brave soul and even smiled at the nurse straight after.
AFM, well that's another story. I've been getting some abdominal pain the past few days which was enough to wake me up during the night, so when at the Dr's today I got it checked out and also had a pelvic u/s as well. I am thinking it might be an ovarian cyst on my left side, and due to the past 2 years consisting of either being on medication or being pregnant I think my body has now decided to go back to it's old ways. From what I could see all the dormant follicles from my PCOS look like they have all come back as both my L & R ovaries where almost black with all the follicles I could see. The sonographer laugh and told me I could make heaps of money on the "black market" selling my eggs. Hopefully will get the results on Monday, fingers crossed it is nothing drastic as I don't know how either me or Tara would cope if I had to have surgery seeing she screamed the ultrasound joint down this afternoon when she was outside with DH, combination of being tired and I think also being away from me....
:hello: neptune sweety thanks for asking all is going ok here ,how are you going ?and could you please send me that storm hun lol..
kelly..gee hunny i hope ll will be ok with you take care ok.
Twas a storm in a tea cup! Dropped the temp initially, but then it shot up again with double the humidity!!!!!!! Bring on Autumn I say. Adam all sweaty and hard to handle just in a nappy. I like to snuggle with him when it's a bit cooler!!!!:rolleyes:
oh hun i agree im sick of this heat,i wish it would start cooling down a bit thats for sure.
its so hot sometimes i cant nurse my bubba girl as were both sweeting on each other:shakehead:
Re sticky weather my mum suggested a wrap in between us and it works really well.
ATM baby is sleeping but I'm still so frazzelled, I've been trying the colic medicine which seams to have taken the edge off but baby is still screaming when he does a poo (soft and right colour)
Off to weigh him tomorrow :pray: he's put on weight so I can feel a little more happy about how much milk he's getting.
Have a great day all
:grouphug:
