Laura - that's fantastic hun!!You'll get there!
AJP - Are the hossy buddies the other mums you were in with when you had Millie? That's pretty cool that you catch up with them! Jacob was 11 days late and was 8 pound 7 ounces for the list. ETA - glad you had a good time, especially a good laugh!
SJ -I don't blame you!! If Jacob were putting on more weight, I would be lying to them too!! I have been documenting each feed - the time, what's in the nappy and a few points about how the feed goes (length, fussing etc) over the past few days. Its a PITA, especially when I can't remember the overnight feeds the next morning
If he hasn't gained "enough" at the next weigh in (tomorrow) then I'll be asking them for more help than simply "try to get another feed in each day"
Holly - Oh I hope this week goes fast for you! (Not that I'm wishing your time with DS away but just to get him looked at by the paed). The MCHN here suggested reflux for Jacob but I'm not sure if he has it or not. Was it you who mentioned the grunting in the sleep with wind a while back? J did that this morning between 7 and 8am. Didn't wake himself up but I couldn't sleep waiting for him to start crying! So frustrating.
Tarkine - Hun I hope you're ok? Sounds like the fall hurt! That's great you got out to the shops and that DS is doing so well.
Ali - Poor Ashlyn with that rash! Sounds like it was a bit scary for you. I completely empathise with little Ash, I have ANOTHER rash on my bbies now that itches like mad and leaves little red marks when I scratch it. I can now count 4 different looking rashes I've had since the week before having Jacob. It's getting ridiculous. I hope Ashlyns skin clears up real soon. Yay on co-sleeping with your DP!!
Who have I forgotten?? Hi Nai; Shell; Meg; Odette; Ellie; argh sorry baby brain strikes again!
AFM - Trip to work went ok today. I managed to avoid most of the gossipy sticky beaks which was great! I kept thinking about him and wondering what was happening but I was only away a couple of hours. He slept the whole time I was gone and only woke in the car when DP was coming to pick me up. Ah well, there is now a nice stock pile of EBM in the freezer!
Feeding has gone better today. We've fed 6 times so far. My left side is nearly all healed up and he hasn't been so fussy on it since yesterday. Going for the weigh in tomorrow morning - wish us luck and a big number girls!
Ali, I hope Ash is ok. It's so awful when they are sick.
i wouldnt try to add another feed as he may well be filling up too much on foremilk and not getting enough hindmilk, the foremilk quenches his thirst and makes him sleepy, hindmilk has all the fat.
