Morning Mummies,

DS#1 is captivated with Play School for the min so I thought I would jump online.

Feel awesome today, fed Noah at about midnight last night and he did now wake up again until just before 7am!!! Fed again, poohed, f@rted, smiled, cooed and crashed again. (Noah that is not me! LOL) YAY!

Went to the chemist after lunch yesterday and had him weighed as CH prob won't see me until he is about 6 weeks for the first visit.Anyways, he is now 5.48kg, came home from hospy weighing 4.20kg. Now 58cm long!!! No bl**dy wonder his clothes are right in length but his sleeves are always a bit long.

Play schools over now so must go and entertain DS#1.

Have agreat friday ladies.

Hiya all,
My little fella is still wearing 0000 clothing...He is only just fitting into his Pumpkin Patch newborn size clothes well. Some of them more than others, some are a little baggy, and the ones I shrunk in the drier are just now (at nearly 8 weeks) starting to get a little short!
We are off the MCHN on monday, it will be good to see how he's going...to us, he feels like he weighs well over 5kg now (was 3.125 born, 3kg when we left hospital). He's still fitting into newborn huggies too!
I tried a fitted cloth nappy on him yesterday and they are still too big (picture Steve Irkel from that early 90's tv show!)...so we are still in sposy's....he got really upset when he tried to sit up for burping in the clothy, changed him into a sposy and we were all good to go!

He's feeding off me like a trooper now again, I'm thrilled, no nipple sheild or anything (back when the reflux and colic started, we swtiched to nipple sheild so I didnt drown him, and then eventually bottle feeding....back onto me completely now, except at bedtime, we top him up with a bottle of EBM sometimes...


Sharon: Have to you tried half the recommended dose of thickener?
I may have mis read the label, but I'm sure my karicare says 2 scoops per 200ml, so if Oliver is having 100-150ml, maybe jusy put one scoop in? I found when BJ was on bottle, I'd do one scoop to each 125ml bottle and that was fine...he didnt have trouble drinking it, and it stayed down...
Zennie: I got AF again at 6 weeks, had to cancel my 6 week post natal (which included a pap smear) because of it...wasn't happy either...but so be it I guess...least I know my "bits" still work!
