oh poor you and linc green big hugs hunny and hang in there sweety i know its terrible when they need to do pooys.
i found that if i used the coloxyl drops they would work but i tell ya what ill never use them again i rekon they give them more pains in the tummy than anything
so my trick i have found is PRUNE JUICE ONLY A TINY BIT LIKE 1-2MLS IN WATER once every couple of days hun even if he wont drink it in the water i trick charlie and put in it her formula bottle and ive also got another awsom trick hun lots of belly rubs around the belly button ,rub both ways ( clockwise and anti clockwise)just nice and gently and also when he finally does poo lift him up over your shoulder sort of gives them a better pushing motion .
it will get better sweet girl i was sooo stressed about this pooy bizz but all seems to be going really well for us now ,his first poo may hurt a bit if he hasnt done one for a while but after that they should soften rite up and he will prob still cry but i think it just takes a while for them to get use to the sensations of pooing
please do not put any extra water in his formula bottles ,thats not what we are suppose to do still follow the dirrections on the tin hun as wrongly made bottles can make them very sick and he wont be getting a proper feed GIVE HIM WATER SEPERATLY KK and also in the water old wives tale or not i still put a bit of brown sugar in the water makes her think its not just water lol...
hun i sure hope this helps let me know how you get on ...good luck baby linc xoxo
a big hello to you all this beautiful rainy weekend ,i hope your all going well,thinking of you all take care beautiful mummys xoxo.
afm... all good except my girl wont sleep shes confused i think with night and day cheeky monkey lol but all good here
Do you mind if I pop in here? My DS was conceived after four treatment cycles (IUI) following 18 months of TTC.
I'm also feeling a lot of time pressure to start TTC number 2 (although some days I think we should just stick at one), as I have no idea how long it will take, or if we'll need assistance again. I'm still BF (although have had to complement with formula since DS was 3 months, due to low milk supply) and AF has not returned, which makes me a bit anxious. I enjoy BFing DS, but am putting pressure on myself to stop so my cycles can return. I change my mind every day as to what I should do.
Anyway, that's enough about me. Looking forward to chatting with some other likeminded people.

Hi Honeybee. I hope I won't freak you out when I say I think I remember who you used to be.
I'm the same age - and also feel the pressure some times that I should be going for #2 ASAP, but DH and I are pretty comfortable waiting. Also pretty comfortable with only having one child if that's the way it turns out. I'm on some fairly nasty medications and need to have stopped them for 6 months before I can go back to IVF so it's a big decision to go again. Although, we do have the advantage of having a couple of frozen embryos from Sam's cycle... So I can wait until I'm 39 and still have the same chance of getting pregnant that I did with Sam at 33. Without that, I think I'd be in a bigger hurry to get back to assisted conception, though.
Interesting day here - Sam appears to have decided to skip his afternoon nap but both DH and I are ready for one.
Thanks Smithy! Congratulations on the birth of your DD!
Hi BW - It's good having a couple of frosties in storage for if/when you want to get back on the rollercoaster. I hate thinking about it, makes me stressed. Am currently thinking I will give it until DS is 18 months, then try to do something about it. But as I said, I change my mind every day.
Hope you get some sleep today!

Had a late night so Lyla is still asleep so I get to go online
Welcom BDT and Honeybee. BDT, the first few months can be stressful but hang in there, it gets better each day as we become more atuned to our LOs.
BW, what a horrid week you had. Glad Sam is doing well. About the speech, we can't really use Miss E as an benchmark. I read a research paper that said at this early stage (1 year old) the most important thing is that they understand us and communicates with us in their own way. We should be worried (but not alarm) if they don't point or make eye contact (especially the finger pointing).
BG, Miss E sounds so cute. I am turning bright green!
Grub, I've got 4 frosties from Lyla's batch of embies and although I do feel positive about them I must play down my expectation so I wouldn't be so dissappointed if they don't work. I will be content with 1 because I don't think emotionally, I could go through another stimulated cycle.
Kelly, Lyla did the "tuck feet under bum" thing for a week or two and then "see saw" crawl with feet pushing but head still down or get into "push up" stance without getting anywhere to finally crawling at 5 months. Although she does skip the "natural crawling" soon after for the "monkey walk" and then pull to stand. Will be very interested to see what Tara does.
good morning my beauties ,i too hope you all have a nice sunday.
im am also sitting here all be myself everyone else is still in bed and its me who needs the sleep lol oh well.
kahlan thanks for thinking of little miss charlie girl hun hugs to you.
BG. love your ticker pic hun way cute
BabyDreamtime oh welcome and welcome. Congrats and glad to see you
Grub I think that's why I stoped BF Linc was screaming at my breast and was being so fussy I took it to heart as when he's being fussy around a bottle who cares. Oh DH is a PIG he's not in my good books and frankly he could have stayed away! Also a friend recommended the DUNSTON Baby Language DVD I've ebayed it and will let you know re what baby wants.
Briggsy oh my 5 hor cluster feeding. you are doing so well. hope teeth come in soon and she's not a biter.
Neptune hope you doggie is doing better
KellyD oh baby gates wow that's a scary thought isn't it.
Smithy thank you funny I was thinking about prune juce, I'll do that I reccon in the formula. He does drink water so I'm lucky. But OMG I just feel like it's one hurdle after another atm.
Welcome Honeybee
BW skipping naps how was he in the evening?
Marcellus I've thought about it long and hard but he was in pain with my milk but he's in pain now, OMG what to do.
Yes he poo'd Friday after a really long tummy massage with mummy and then again after a bath with DH. all ok and soft, happy baby loads of sleep then came yesterday He's been pushing all day and all night I'm so tired and had no help from DH. After me finally asking for the third time DH fed Linc and it all went well but then he left him on the floor for like 30mins and POWER CHUCK! Linc did one last night too but only a little DH thinks this was his whole feed
So after making a mad dash home to get my tooth brush (at my mums cos DH is off again) I then got handed the baby while DH went to a friends. then we're going shopping then he's off again. After a day of ****ing me and Linc around yesterday doing quick stops at the hardware (an hour) and generally groning every time I asked for help I'm ready to be a single mum!
Ok ok back to the poo, Linc pood last night after a lot of rubbing of his belly but it was pretty hard, so I got out the water again and nothing yet, he was straining all night and only settled (still wimpering) in my arms so no sleep for mummy. I slid him into the sling while he was sleeping so he's not stressed out. I don't know what to do. I feel like this is a never ending battle, runns from my milk blocked up from Formula, power chucks. Am I doing something wrong or is this just what babies do? and if so why don't your friends tell you.
Feeling a little sorry for myself this morning and also really worried Linc is no better off than on my milk. Which is probably gon now anyways boobs are back to soft and no more leeking.
oh poor you and linc green big hugs hunny and hang in there sweety i know its terrible when they need to do pooys.
and ive also got another awsom trick hun lots of belly rubs around the belly button ,rub both ways ( clockwise and anti clockwise)just nice and gently and also when he finally does poo lift him up over your shoulder sort of gives them a better pushing motion .
shes confused i think with night and day cheeky monkey lol but all good here
