Well I finally got a chance to get on here and catch up with you all. I've just read the last 2 pages. I'll try to keep up...
Bexie: oh you sound like me, I had 2 days of crying and I had DP home with me to help, but I spent 2 whole days crying at everything it was awful. When does your mother's group start, I think it will do you the world of good to go to that. I can't see how a LC can help with reflux issues either - weird. Do you have any phone numbers from the mums in your church mothers group. They will all remember what it's like having a new baby and I bet they will come over to chat or go for a coffee or whatever you need. It's really important not to isolate yourself when you have a new baby. As hard as it is to do, you will feel better if you get out and have some adult conversation even for a little while. Have you tried getting Charlotte adjusted by your Chiro? DS had bad colic and he was always better after an adjustment.
Babyluv: oooh a poo explosion - isn't it amazing how much poo they manage to get out for such teeny tiny little things. Sounds like your getting things sorted with Sienna's silent reflux, which is great news and the even better news is that she's having sleep! Good on you!!!
Mizqtie: oh that doctor sounds like a moron!! I would see another doctor who knows a couple of things about babies!!! And good on you for having such a great attitude too I'm a size 12 and very happy with my size, My sister can't seem to believe I'm a size 12 and still buys me clothes in size 10 - does my head in. I must look smaller than I am because I'm tall.
Shelly: I hear you on the sore nipples! Damn nipples need to be teflon coated I swear! Ivy is wearing MCN's and has been since leaving hospital. I have both the itti bitti sized SIO's (the best) and the Bitti Tuttos (still very, very good) I also have some cushie tushie that I use but they tend to wick a bit but are great for just top and nappy outfit, they only leak when there are pants over the nappy. They'll be better I think when she gets a bit bigger. So I would definitely say the SIO's are the all time best, but you do have to buy more, but the tuttos are the best one size nappy I've ever used. I have some AIO's in the larger sizes but they annoy me because they take so long to dry. They are great apart from that.
Caixin: so wonderful to feel that connection isn't it? I didn't really have the connection when pregnant, but as soon as I saw Ivy I had the immediate rush of love and it just gets stronger everyday, she is doing a LOT of smiling and cooing and laughing and I just love it, I could sit there and watch her do that all day! I know what you mean about being scared about being left on your own, I haven't had both of the kids by myself yet and I am crapping myself at the thought of it!
Little_Mrs: I would see the dr about your undercarriage, they shouldn't still be sore enough to need pain killers, could you have torn them at all? Isn't it amazing how much these little people can drink out of us? I sometimes get headaches from feeding from being dehydrated! They are little milking machines..very cute milking machines mind you!
Kaylee: Ivy is usually on the boobs for about an hour, I've been limiting her time on the split open nipple because I am trying to heal it to 15 minutes or so though, so now it's about 45 minutes all up, but with a nappy change and burping inbetween sides and burping after 2nd side it can take around an hour and a half or so. Exhausting work! Sounds like Liam should have put on loads of weight with all that food he's been chowing down on
Renee: the screaming is really hard to deal with isn't it, it puts you so on egde and you feel so frazzled after a bout of screaming! And so exhausting too! Sorry can't help you with the nappies, but sounds like the other girls have all the info
AFM: all getting a bit better over here, I've stopped my full time crying career and it seems my dodgy nipple has stopped bleeding like crazy, I have even done 3 out in public feeds in the past 2 days without crying in pain, so that is a definite bonus - it still really hurts but a whole lot less than it did. It feels so good to just go out and about and be able to feed while I'm out. I will try to keep up in here I hate missing out on everything and I miss you all!!
