Hey all
poor levi had his 8 week injections today- he was really good getting them done, but started to get grumpy and uncomfy a few hours later so i had to give him panadol. Poor poss hardly slept all day- and he had a belly ache which he has now manage to evacuate with a big poo- phew. He is zzzz now longest he has been asleep all day was 40 mins whilst i walked to picked kids up from school and home again so hopefully he sleeps well tonite- still not going more than 3-4 hours at nite .
Laura- hope the a/b kick in and you have a great party- live it up!
OP- you poor poss with ms Isabel at nite- it gets so frustrating some nites. Hang in there - remember the mantra!!!
Nai - it was soo nice to meet you IRL- you were exacatly how you come across online- lol - such a sweet person! Hope DD1 is feeling better soon
Heaven- hmm green poo?? My DS poo used to sometimes be green . Like the colour of an irish moss cough drop lol! He would bake it for anywhere from 7 days to 18 days and when i came out it was green and stagnent! Where as DD would poo everyday and they were getting the same milk at the same time from me! Different bodies - different kids
Has bubs been going often?? DS poo was mustard to start with and then changed to green over time. If you are still worried, how about googling it or ring the MCH line - they might know!
Tarkine- Lol at the bio- hazard suit- good on you for going for a walk- its nice to get out there and feel the sun on you isnt it!
Ali- def go the breastmilk in the eye- or saline- get the saline for cotact lenses rather than the individual vials- heaps cheaper!! Gunky eye is fine as long as the gunk doesnt turn green! Then there is a bug there- levi grew a bug and had to get a/b drops for a couple of days. The gunk is all the pollution in the air and the fact that their tear ducts arnt functioning properly yet and cant clear the gunk. Also dont be surprised if your bubs starts to get sniffly as well- the tear duct when it is working drains down into the nose and clears the nose- if tear duct not working then nose isnt being cleared . Hence bubs may sneeze more and be sniffly- all normal!!!
Shell- the sweaty feeling can sometimes be a part of b/feeding. Damm hormones. It takes up to 3 months for them to settle down so we can have lovely hormone rushes which can cause some lovely side effects till then. Just watch your sugar levels as well.
Is anyone having trouble or noticing their sugar levels changing as well??I am having heaps of probs with them. Never usually do, but as our insulin levels are controlled by hormones and mine are all over the shop at the moment, so is my sugar levels. I go low really quickly if i havent eaten for a couple of hours and man i cant drink enough- drinking over 4 lts of water, plus other fluids!
Hi to everyone else!!!
all zzz here and gonna go to chat for a bit then bed! WHOOT might even be in bed b4 middnite tonite
Hi all - well it seems that DD1 is on the mend. She only vomited once but was then running a high temp all day and wet her pants, which she never does, so she was definitely not well. It could have been a 24hr bug. The rest of us seem ok so fingers crossed!
Haha Det - I have you fooled :P It was lovely to meet you too -hope I can meet more of you in the not too distant future!
Laura hope the ab's are working.
Sorry for lack of personals but have been a bit wiped out!
Df is in bad mood today and starting to give me the ****s.
Nai- Glad to hear she is on the mend and it was only 24hr thing.
Det- Hope Levi had good night, I'm dreading the vacs, hate seeing them so upset with it, first one they're surprised, second upset and by the 3rd they're really upset! I have probs with sugars too, mainly lunchtime cause I find by time I feed Ash and Em its getting well into arvo and I'm feeling really dizzy and that horrible low sugar feeling.
Holly- Hows it going holding out between feeds? I try too to hold at least 2.5hrs just so she not on boob all day.
Meg- How is everything going with you? Is E settling at all?
Still regular 3hr wake ups here overnight, its practically exact to the hour too.
Not enjoying this whole BFing I think cause I just feel thats all I'm doing, I know it'll get better but right now I'm just really not enjoying it at all, seeing it more like a chore.
I have had a cr@p couple of days DD1 is over her sickness but we went shopping today and the trolley fell off the footpath with her in it as I wasn't watching it properly - fortunately she was just scared and not hurt but it could have been bad. I feel like such a bad mum!
J has the worst hormonal rash and looks like she has really bad acne and now she has a nasty nappy rash. It's just one spot but it looks like it's burnt. She must have done a poo that burnt her bottom overnight. It looks really sore and she cries when she does a wee as it must hurt the rash. I also think that she is chucking more if I drink milk so I'm going to have to cut back on dairy I think. The days where I have my big glass of aktavite seem to make her more chucky.
Holly, if the chiro is working I might give that a go with J - I was thinking of seeing an osteo but not sure which would be better.
SJ, I think green is still normal as long as it isn't "frothy" but baby poo can range from mustard to brown to green and still be ok.
Det, my hormone levels were all over the place with DD1 but I think they are a bit better this time although I do get the night sweats still. I'm not craving chocolate as much as I did - however this hasn't actually stopped me eating it if it's in the house
Nai
poor DD shes had a rough couple of days hasnt she poor poppet.
millie had a hormone rash, looked like pimples, that went now she has another rash, not pimply just red dots on the lower half of her face and upper chest.
hope J's bum gets better soon too.
shell it will get better, she will get longer between feeds.
tell DF to go cook dinner after his form last weekend he owes you
*shell dont read any further*
millie had a huge sleep last night, slept the best part of 15 hours woke for 2.5 feeds in that time.
went 6hrs then 4hrs then 4 hrs then fell asleep again at swimming
Ellie- Oh what a great sleep for anika! If only it was like that every night. DD has slept well the last 2 nights and I'm feeling pretty good, wonder how long it will last. OP- Don't worry IKWYM, I get so frustrated and angry when I just can't settle DD then feel guilty for feeling that way, she's just a little baby Yay about the jeans! I need some new ones but I'm scared I'll just have flabby tummy hanging over the front. lol. laura- not good about the mastitis, I hope it clears up quickly. tarkine- Thanks for that info!! lol, it's probably too much chocolate. Wow 2km, that's impressive. shell- sorry you're not getting much sleep. Maybe she has her days and nights mixed up. I was told to take DD out in the sun in the mornings to reset her clock! Seems to work. Holly- I think it's the flow being too fast too, esp on the right side that I was only feeding her off for a week when I had the crack in the left. She's feeding better today though, yay! How is stretching feeds out going?? It would be hard! det- poor levi, I hope he feels better now! Yep, she poos everytime she wakes up!! lol. Apparently the green is normal, phew. So I won't worry anymore. Pretty gross. I am drinking so much water too!! Can't get enough. Ali- How are you going today? Nai- Glad to hear DD is getting better! Thanks for that info, nope not frothy! eww...lol. Jols- What a great sleep!! Hope you're feeling better after that!
Well DD has been feeding better today, phew. Has been feeding more frequently today too, every 2 hrs instead of 3. Has slept well for the last 2 nights, hope she keeps it up! And I mastered BF lying down last night. Couldn't get the hang of it before and she wouldn't attach properly but gave it another go last night and she has worked it out! Then she drifted off to sleep next to me, was so cute, except I woke up to a slap in the face, haha.
It was so nice of you to do that for me
