Megie, it is a mainly used for cosleeping and also as a portable bed. It's filled with tetra flakes...some sort of natural filling? Anyway, it's nice and snug and he sleeps so well in it It's small so can't be used for that long though.
eta...do a google search - it explains it so much better and shows pics
OMG holly im so sorry i missed you before i had people staring too when walking up and down the stairs in the hospital!!
dont worry im still sore, though more of an ache now than sore and my stitches are falling out.
i cried the first night home.
shell i was like that and luckly (or unluckly) due to the PPH i stayed longer
J was so unsettled last night - she fed constantly for 3 hours!! From 9.30pm - 12.30am and would not go to sleep GRRR! Finally we worked out that she was waking every time we turned OFF the light so we slept all night with the bedside lamp on She even slept 2.5hrs in her bassinette with the light on.
Rainforest - try some baby massage especially around the tummy area and also maybe some tummy time. I have found J brings up wind when she is on her belly.
Em was bit unsettled last night too, we were awake from 12:30 til just after 3, every time I thought she was asleep she'd wake crying. I wondered if tummy pain cause was different sort of cry and was pulling her legs up to her, after 3 poo changes and 2 feeds she finally slept.
Nai- Now you know the light trick hopefully you'll have a better night tonight.
Holly- makes you think after birth what a silly spot to locate a labour ward! The snuggle bed sounds good. we got em in bassinet so she's just in lounge in day and have it next to me at night.
Meg- So hard to work out the feeding isn't it, I was just wondering last night how long they should have on the breast I can't remember. I been trying to give one side 20mins then I change her to wake her for the next side and just see how long she goes on there.
Sometimes I feel like I'm a first time mum again with all this newborn stuff, I'd gotten use to having a toddler. Feel bit slack but there is gonna be lots of TV time for Ash in next few weeks til we settle into a pattern.
I am so with you Shell. I feel like I have forgotten everything, although so far, I am much more relaxed. You will have to bring the girls over here and we can let the toddlers run around and get my DH to look after them while we have a sit down.
Nai - maybe buy a nightlight, so that it isn't such a bright light on, but it is not pitch black.
Holly - the snuggle bed sounds good.
J is in childcare today. So it is just me and E at home today. I remember when I had J thinking that I would never cope at home by myself, and now i think with just 1 is so quiet!!!
struggling a bit at the moment, DD has been very unsettled today, has not slept since about 7.30am for longer than half an hour. She was awake from 2.30am til 5am before that too.
She just seems so unhappy. She feeds, I try to burp her and put her down, but she screams almost straight away.
She's had a big vomit this morning (a massive amount - all down my clothes and to the floor) but she's still really unsettled. This is so difficult. How do I know what is wrong???
