Sorry Im being a slacker with keeping up in this thread - Ive been out and about the last 2 days so no comp time. But Ds is at daycare and I ran errands this morning so I have 5min to myself.

Im curious to see what your MCHN says about the reflux Ali because Rips does the same thing, and often gags as well but I was putting it down to a strong let down/flow of milk. I never thought reflux because I think projectile vomitting etc when I hear 'reflux'. Please let us know what she says!

Bindy, Haroula - if its supply issues your worried about re BF then I can 100% recommend drinking 2 glasses of Aktivite a day - my milk has been flowing like the Nile since I started drinking it 3 days ago. Ive also bought some Blessed Thistle tablets as it helps promote milk flow. Just a suggestion

Trish, yay on the swing bargain! I love my FP ocean wonders swing - so handy when they want some movement but we dont have time to be human rocking chairs.

Hello to everyone else!

Saw the MCHN for our 2wk check up - Rips is doing great! He's 50cm long now, hc is 36cm and he's 3380g, so gained 260g in a week - Go Mama's milk What a champ! She also said the 'jaundice' has disappeared which is a relief (not that I think he ever had it.) She commented on how well I look (and how skinny ) and I told her looks are deceiving lol Im tired and could do with more than 2hrs of sleep at a time but Im coping, I have too. Jett's settled down a bit as well, not so many tantrums/naughty moments and he's not crying so bad at bedtime anymore. Yesterday he was all about baby - kept giving him kisses and cuddles which was cute.
Today has been nice without Jett to chase after though, running errands was a breeze. I got some groceries and bought some clothes for Jett (Target is having a sale on summer clothes so might be a good idea to layby size 1's for next summer! And a 20% off sale on baby and nursery.) Ive put him in care tomorrow too for a few hours as I think part of his naughtiness is boredom, he's used to seeing friends kids once or twice a week and going to daycare for 5hrs on thursdays. My g/f and I are going out to lunch.

Anywho enough of my boring prattle, its almost time to pick J up and Rips is sucking away on the boob. BBL.

ETA - Trish - yay on the swimming too! Its a relief when they take to swimming like fish, Jett is the same - absolutely loves it and does really well for his age.
Ali - Yeah the bassinette is the only place I can keep J away from bub and even then he stills tries to climb it. Im thinking of picking up a playpen too but my DH is worried about him climbing it.
