Holly that must have been so scary! I'm glad he is ok - do you have a sensor monitor for him at all?
KAz, I hope your appointment goes ok - it sounds a bit odd but I hope it is nothing to worry about. I'm not sure about the feeds but bigger babies can go longer without feeds than smaller babies.
I have FINALLY got Miss J down for a nap so I managed to get the washing out and have some lunch - might try for a nap myself
Oh Nai I do hope you get a nap. I am discovering that I really need one of an afternoon - they're fantastic!
Yeah - the middy's at hospital said he was more like a 2 week old because he was post dates - so they were saying that's why he was so unsettled and wanting to suck all the time, because he was looking for milk whereas I was behind the eight-ball, so to speak, and only had colostrum at that point.
Meg - Glad to hear you are less teary. Look after yourself.
hi all! just a quick one dont have much time. had MCHN app today little miss piggy has put on just over 2 pounds since she was born.. has grown 4cm so now is 52cm and head has grown 2.5cm so now is 36.5cm
Laura- yay on weight gain, glad you sorted out your boobs.
Meg- Glad to hear you've been feeling little better, hope you got a nap in while everyone was asleep, grab those rare moments.
Kaz- Not sure bout the feeds, I think sometimes in early days they can be bit sleepy so not wake up as often? The sucker outta thing just came with the saline drops, I got from the chemist, Fess Saline drops with aspirator.
Holly- Oh god how scary, did Dr give any reason why he might've been doing it? Thank god hes all okay!
Tarkine- Thats good you made it to the group, do the other mums seem nice?
AJP- Grr at your DH sometimes men are just bit selfish they don't stop and think about what help we may need.
OP- Yeah me and Df are waiting for that 6 week peak, he will tahnkfully be on holidays week 5 and 6 when it reaches the worst of it!
Em's nose has improved thanks to the saline. Took Ash to the park which was good so I could sit and relax while she played and Em slept. Other than that just have a headache.
Anyone else with toddler get sick of saying "don't wake the baby" or "you need to be gentle".
yep shell constantly reminding sophie to be gentle!!
DH came home early from work today still not impressed!!
kaz awesome sleep blocks!!!!!
holly how scary for you guys, hope it doenst happen again

E is hard to settle too. I have been cuddling her to almost asleep then put her down, and BLING awake again!
I till am sick to saying "be gentle." J always wants "duddles" with E. THen when he does give her a cuddle, he holds her a few mins and then nearly pushes her off his knee!!
ANJP - Yeah mum took J, and you know what, he has been such a delightful child today, I felt bad that he went with her. I always miss him terribly, but I might be able to work on settling Miss E in the next few days without constant noise.
Oh - I purchased a second hand baby hammock this arvo. Does anyone else have one, and what do you think??
Nai- that is great about J sleeping last night in her cradle, hope the screaming has stopped for you.
Holly- for you and little Leon. That must have been so scary for you. I hope that it doesn't happen again. That is great that feeding is getting better. The rate I am going with photos, Ashlyn will end up having 10 albums before she turns one!!
Jols- They seriously dont think sometimes. I hope that he makes it up to you today. DP was better this morning I actually woke up to him bringing me a nice cup of tea. How did millie sleep last night? did you get a new avvy? i love it.
Ellie- i love your avvy. you look beautiful
Tarkine- you are doing a good job. stay positive and that is great that you got to mums and bubs group.
OP- the feeding/screaming combo doesnt sound fun! remember what Det said...its just a phase.
Laura- good to hear that you dont have mastitis
..............okay girls I started writing this post at 10:39am and it is now 6:03pm and thought I should come back and finish it!...............
Where does the time go....
On a good note for me today;
We had the MCHN come this morning and Ashlyn is now 3.91Kg, she was 3.65Kg when she was born so in 10 days she has put on 260grams!!!! I swear its all those feeding frenzies that she has!
We had our best night so far in regards to sleep. She fed at 8:30pm, 12pm, 3:45pm and 6:45pm then we had a lovely sleep together until 9am.
I have had MIL over today showing me photos of DP when he was a bub and his baby book and she watched Ashlyn while I quickly ducked up to centrelink to get a rent assistance form. It seems we qualify for a little something there!
