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.
Shell - Naps are awesome. I hope you get one everyday when your DF is on holidays so you can catch up a little.
Nai - glad to hear DD is on the mend and it doesn't seem to have spread to the rest of the family. Don't feel like a bad mum accidents happen and it might have happened even if you had been watching for that second or two it came off the path.
Heaven - not sure about the green poo here either. Have they changed back to yellow yet? Mr. J has a poo every feed/nappy change and some feeds I have to change him twice He is constantly going! My recovery seems to be going ok - thanks for asking. I feel much better/more mobile this week but still can't walk long distances. My belly was hurting last night but we'd had a big day with lots going on so I'm having a quiet one today. How is your recovery going? I find it really frustrating that I can't drive. Not being able to hang washing on the line is kind of good though Yay for feeding lying down!
OP - How do you feel about using a dummy? I was not keen but Mr. J is a pretty 'sucky' baby and he was doing the same thing - coming off a long feed and crying because the boob was no longer in his mouth. We don't use the dummy much and he spits it out once he's asleep anyway. Also, the sucking can apparently help if the problem is wind.
Laura - sorry to hear you've got mastitis mate. Hope those ABs kicked in and you're having a good time at your party!!!
Tarkine - I'm glad you're still posting in here and with a sense of humour!! Was starting to get a little worried about how you were travelling. Take care of yourself as well as Alex.
Holly - Hope the chiro helps things for you and Leon.
AJP - Whoohoo on the big sleeps!! Mr. J has gone 5 hours between feeds a few times in the past couple of days - so 3.5-4hour sleeps. It's good but then I worry that he won't keep my milk supply high enough
Meg/Ali/Ellie/Odette - How are you guys going today?
AFM - Hmmm...well I started this post at 11am. Hi and sorry to anyone I have missed. It has been a good day, but just busy. With the hormone rash you are all talking about - are they white spots, called milk spots on the nose? Mr. J had them at birth - apparently I gave them to him via hormones? They're still there. I thought I'd be the one with acne afterwards but we both ended up with rashes instead!
Quick question - does anyone know why you can't drive for 6 weeks after a C-section? What is the reasoning there?
I have been reading Baby Love by Robin Barker on and off. It has some good info about sleep and what is "normal" between 3-12 weeks of age. Will try to get back on and quote some of it later. We're turning everything off for Earth Hour soon. Hope you're all having restful, peaceful, sleepy evenings girls
Kaz- I loved baby love, read it heaps after I had Ash, I just like it cause she doesn't tell you how you should do things but just offers suggestions. Yeah Em has those white milk spots as they're called. Gets better than gets worse again.
Heaven- Yeah we do get out most days into the sun and fresh air and during day if at home she sleeps next to the window just wants to feed 3hrly day and night, tho in the day might be shorter. I need to learn the lying down feeding, could never work out how to do it comfortably.
AJP- Aahh I am jealous!
Nai- Don't feel bad, accidents always happen with toddlers! Its inevitable.
Watching saints vs sydney game, my saints better lift their game!
Theres Em crying again, another booby time I think, every evening is booby time, think she'd be on there constant if I let her.
