Can anyone tell me how I work out how much formula Kye needs total each day?? He is round about 8kg now I would suspect, didnt get him weighed on friday
He is having 5 bottles a day at the moment pretty much 4 hourly or near to - they are always 170ml.
I have sorta been sticking around the 900-1000ml mark per day, is that too much???
As you can see I am still a bit paranoid he is having too much LOL
Pixie - Nah it aint just you, the smileys are buggered for me too!
Vic - yay for the special day yesterday! Was it ya anniversary or was DH just being nice LOL
Well we had another sleep through last night - Kye went to bed at 8pm and slept until 5:30am - so proud of him!! I guess he is sleeping through now because he is managing to get in his quota during the day so doesnt need the feed at 3am which is excellent as it means I can have a decent run of sleep aswell.
He is also starting to get better now at sleeping during the day too. Still have to have him sleep in the bouncer/rocker but yeah yesterday arvo he did like a 2hr block, couldnt believe it LOL
Anyways gotta shoot to the supermarket quickly.... overcast here so want to get home before it rains.
Sash - I can't remember the exact formula to work out the recommended amount - but Miss M takes about 150-200ml per feed - 5 times a day. So he sounds pretty normal to me hon.
I think at 4 months the formula tin says they go up to 250ml 5 times a day?
sasha i think your giving the correct amount
vic congrats on the sleep threw an the wonderful hubbie.
The breasts mel have calmed down a bit so thats good i think my body is just overly exhausted keeping up with Josh. Normally i have a 3-5pm(starts somewhere i here) body shut down started when pregnant and never really lost it. AHHHHH thats got me thinking iron that might be it. but it seems last 2 days its been here all day everyday
My body is so tired still,
josh has had 5 feeds already so i imagine 9 or 10 total today will be whats gonna happy every 1.5 hours he is back on me. he is so restless at night so i put him in with me and that help(altho i sleep like a sardine) i know he wants more to feed but i just cant do it between 1 and 5am. Think all the sleeping on the couch munted my back its very sore and ive had a constant headache to altho i been drinking so much that i am weeing every 1.5 hours even tho my first real drink of the day is now. been in bed all morning will now progress to couch just thought ld pop me tired head in
sorry sorry sorry cant do personals need to drink/eat then at 12.30 feed again. Might ask hubbie for comfort food pancakes. didnt eat eta last night to tired to make it but hubbie did make my lunch and breaky yesterday gotta weight josh before this feed i hope he hasnt lost more weight or else i am just going to be baffled fair enough im not expressing a i am buggered but he is eating so much more. (don't look forward to tomorrow hubbie at work )

Hey folks
Well having a MUCH better day today! The Bear took Beth out for a LOOOOOOOOOOONG walk while I went shopping for clothes..... And I actually found some trousers that fit me, cause the only pair I had that fit and I liked were falling apart. The first few shops I tried made me feel like the fattest person in the world, nothing I tried even remotely fit, then I stumbled into this Colorado outlet store and it was fantastic = got 2 pairs of jeans and a pair of black cargos all for $116 and it is all really nice quality stuff, not the trash I normally buy! I'd put a dance smiley in but they don't seem to be working! The Bear and Beth had managed to get all the way to Manly so I went and picked them up, we had a nice breaky and a walk along the beach and went shopping for a new lounge.
All in all a great day! Can't believe Beth is three months old already! It's going toooo quick!
Squidipa = you need to take better care of yourself honey get some rest!
Mel - thanks babe mwah. bugger about the dinner at SIL's!
Sash - yay the sleep through
Vic - sounds like you've got a keeper there!
MT - we might be able to visit you next weekend - if our trip to Melbourne works out, let us know if you're interested?
Anyway, should tidy up a bit, hope everyone is having a great weekend!
Woohoo! Just finished expressing my left boob for the night (just fed Jett before I started from the rhs) and got 150mls, so thanks for the milky waterfalls vibe Vic! I might go and weigh him in the morning to see if something is happening with his weight gain.
Pixie - ooh yep I'm up for a meet up if you are interested! Let me know what your plans are and I'm sure we can figure something out!
Squidipa - I know how you must be feeling with all that feeding and how sore it makes your boobs. I really really hope that Josh doesn't lose any more weight and just starts to stack it on!
Mel - Hi back at ya! I hope SILs dinner wasn't too painful for you!
Sasha - Oh yay for the sleep throughs! And happy 3 months Kye!
As usual I haven't got anything done that I wanted to today. Spent the afternoon doing DH's paperwork so we can get his BAS statement done! So bloody painful! Literally! Being a mechanic workshop it is not set up for doing this sort of thing so I spend my time perched on a very uncomfortable and well worn stool, with the keyboard higher than my elbows and my feet resting on a shelf underneath the desk which is too high and makes my feet and legs go numb. Oh well, hopefully I'll get it all finished in the next couple of days and then I won't have to do it again until next year!
Ok, I really think I should get to bed....
Goodnight all, sleep tight, and sleep well little bubs!

I hope SILs dinner wasn't too painful for you!
