It really has been quiet in here hasn't it? We must all be busy with our bubbas... I know I am! Lily has been keeping me on my toes with a new routine everyday....so much for the regular routine. We have been waking a 5:30am everyday for a week- I am NOT a mornign person, Lily seems to be though as she's all smiles when she gets up. She's lucky she's so cute. She has also acquired the no day sleep syndrome so many of our bubs seem to have. She sleeps for no longer than 45mins at a time and will not resettle. At night she won't go to sleep until 9ish- she is soooo not getting enough sleep! Neither am I (like the rest of you... )
I have been thinking about tryinr to get Lily back on the breast now that I am in a better frame of mind. I have stopped bf feeding her at all about 4 days ago, and she now has a cold and is a bit miserable, my bbs have been leaking whenever she touches them, she roots around alot and I just miss it, i think she does too.... I can't help but think that she's sick because she's no longer getting any breast milk, even though she wasn't getting much before, at least it was some.
I have looked at the ABA website and researched it a little and I am wondering if I have the persistence and staying power to do it... I'm so confused! I have begun pumping after she has a feed and getting 20mls(total) in about 10mins, so not much at all but at least it's some I guess. I will go to the dr to try decide and maybe to get some motilium again. I am trying to increase my milk a bit my self with oats and acktivite and might get some fenugreek and/or other things to help.
Iona, you lucky thing with such big sleeps I have forgotten what it's like to sleep more than 4hrs! Hope you feel better, it's hard when your alone with bubs, my DH works 12-15hrs a day for 4 days at a time, then pretty much eats and sleeps when he's not working, so it feels like I'm home alone for four days every week, I hang out for when he's home, for the first day he's home, she's all his! I do the house work and try to catch up on sleep. Take it easy.
Danni, your lucky too getting such good sleeps at night. Lily seems to have gotten into the routine of not sleeping in the day too, she was going soo well before then one day she just decided to stop day sleeping for some reason!
I'm not looking forward to immunisations. I still have to book Lily in I keep on putting it off!
Kristie, another person getting half decent sleeps from your bub! Lil still wakes/ eats 3hrly (if I'm lucky, 4hrly at night) and she's formula fed, I thought they were supposed to feel more full on formula?!
Lily's getting really strong too and standing on our legs when we hold her she like to try to bounce too, she tries to giggle when she does it, it's very funny!
Melissa, I hope Olivia feels better in her harness and I hope she can have it removed sooner than later. Have fun at mothers group.
Krysalyss, I hear you on the bf troubles, I am so torn as to what to do.
I think Lil will be in 00's soon too. She's getting soo big already. She has the chubbiest cheeks, rolls on her thighs and a triple chin! She's such a pig...
Another good sleeper, I'm so jealous! I can't believe you go through 20 nappies a day, is that cloth nappies?! I go through about 7 or so, depending on how many poo's we get...but no more than about 8 or 9.
Ok gotta go we have a MCHN appt soon to weigh and measure my piggy Lil!
