Belinda - glad to hear that the supply is back and what sounds like in good form too! Growth spurts indeed when Ali had hers she was always feeding and screaming but now she has settled a bit ... by the way we ran into Antoinette's husband today at the hospital and they had a little baby boy ... He is taking 8 weeks off work to help her out and they had him Monday afternoon just after midday I think ... we think Sharon went home yesterday as they had seen her in hospital still so there is only Tanya and Gianni left now !

Well today we had Ali's 6 week check and Im pleased to say she has been given a perfect bill of health with no problems. Now I just need the same clearance at my check tomorrow ... she has been the best little bubba today just looking around when awake and not really screaming or whinging much at all .. maybe the 6 week turnover is around!

Had to laugh though as when he pulled her off the scales she peed on the floor as he was carrying her back to the bed and she did a huge poop right before we took her in .. I was just praying she didnt pee or poop all over him .... but she is now 4.3kg so she had put on 1 kilo in the 6 weeks since she was born so looks very healthy and very long!

Hope everyone having a good day today and had a good night ...

Mel - If this is a growth spurt then it's lasting ages. Been about 3 or 4 days now and still going on.. She woke at 3.30am and i fed her this morning and then back to sleep just after 4am but in bed with me. Then woke 7am for a feed. Unlike her to wake at night so I'm assuming it must be a growth spurt so hopefully it'll be finished soon. I'm going to the clinic tomorrow to get her weighed and also because she has been really windy these 3 or 4 days and waking after an hour of sleep and screaming her lungs out so I'm not sure if the is colicy or has reflux. I can't seem to put her down without her screaming in pain. *speak of the devil she is crying*...

... ok so 5 hours later I'm back to finish my post.. hehehe She hasn't settled all day again and just managed to go and pick up her hospital photos and get some groceries. I think I may have found the culprit to her unsettledness!!! I've been eating these rice cakes that I love but they have italian herbs and tomato flavouring. i'm wondering if it's been upsetting her belly as she has been pooing like a trooper all day and last few days and when i think about it I probably started eating them around when she became unsettled.

hello everyone
I had a beautiful little girl on the 23rd of august 2008 and i already have an 8 year old son but because of the big gap i feel like a first time mum again.
im a bit out of the loop with this online parenting stuff but i think its great, its been so helpful.
hope youz dont mind me jumpin in but it would be great to chat with other parents with the same age babies cause im pretty sure everyone else is sick of my baby talk allready
