Hello April mums!
Fire, I hear the HABs are great. my sister has one she was going to pass on to us but I think she must still be using it. I'd intended to use a ring sling for these early months - will try it out again tomorrow because my wrists are getting really sore and after having DS I developed awful prpoblems with them and had to wear a splint. Don't want to do that again!
Beatrix as I understand it the problem with the Baby Bjorn (and presumably other slings of similar design) is if it's used constantly - for short periods they're fine, and they're certainly very quick and easy to throw on.
Grubi hope you're feeling better. Mood swings are very normal - I've had many a teary day.
Shoegal good to hear your boy's feeding well. How did your public BF go? I remember finding that so difficult with DS - at first I could only feed him in the football hold which required lots of support from cushions and was really hard to do anywhere but in my loungeroom!
Nelle you sound like you're managing well. My main concern about taking both kids out together is be that DD takes ages to feed - so if i have to do it while out (which is very likely at this stage) DS will run wild... I'd better stock up on bribes and distractions before I head out!
Last 2 nights DD has had a 3-hour awake period from 3-7am. It's a killer. Anyone else up at this ungodly hour? I'm starting to really dread nighttimes...
. he's asleep now but i couldn't work it out. very distressing. pulled off boob and screamed for half hour solid. done that a few times this past week.
Could it have been wind? I thought also maybe overtiredness, but usually boob fixes that, whereas Si seems to pull off too when he has wind and is trying to fart...Here's hoping that was just a random once-off event.
So - there's some hope for you. Si still is windy, but he seems to be moving it through his gut and getting it out a bit more efficiently. Stay away from cabbage though. :P
He thinks thats hilarious.
