Hi everyone,
Just a quick update been very busy lately haven't had time to do anything. Finally got Oliver weighed and he is 4.9 kg, putting on average 180 per week so were very happy with that. Still bf but have been giving a bottle after dinner feed to top him up. I find i don't have as much milk around this time?? We went to a wedding yesterday/last night and he was an absolute angel. Didn't hear a peep out of him the whole time, it was so nice to get out of the house and have a good time. Oliver has also i think started sleeping through. The last 3 nights he has slept from 8.30pm to 4am. Not sure if its a phase or anything. The first 2 nights i freaked out and was checking on him every hour then woke him up for a feed just in case.
The last week i have found it so hard with juggling both the kids and housework ect, and had the guilts so bad about spending all my time with Oliver and looking at poor Sam and thinking i haven't had 10 mins since Oliver was born just to sit and cuddle him. Sounds bad hey. So today i made Dh have Oliver and i went and jumped on tramp with Sam and read stories and things and so now i feel like we've reconnected and it was so overdue..
Not sure but i think Oliver may have thrush in his mouth. I haven't got breast pain or anything but when he was crying today i noticed white stuff on the insides of his cheeks but not on his tongue?
I bought a Bubba Moe sling to wear because Oliver likes to be held all day, and guess what he doesn't like it. so i was going to take it back and swap it for a Hug a bub or peanut shell one. I find the pocket bit is really deep and he sort of gets lost in it.
Berrme- What sort of nappies do you have your boys in? I have a Itti bitti d'lish that i love and a bum g but haven't fully made the commitment yet. I think Oliver is quite a heavy wetter because i find when i have him in a cloth nappy i need to change it 10 minutes later.
Can't believe my little one is 1 month old already! Its crazy how fast the first weeks go..
