Hello Ladies,
I had a chance to read some of the posts. So sorry for the me post up there but Zoey just woke up. I swear she waits for me to start relaxing then wakes for a feeding.
ashnant - i still count the parents room as public!!! good for you some ppl won't even do that. i had to BF in McDonalds today with a pillow and a blanket. i don't know how my bff did it she used to be able to BF without anything at all and noone could see anything at all.
Ambah - i almost gave up on BF it was pretty bad i cried in the car all the way from the home one day. then decided after BF and almost crying due to the pain to get the bottle and formula. then Zoey decided that she didn't like the bottle and only my boob would do. so she's forced me to stay positive lol. the pain is getting less and less, she doesn't bring me to tears anymore and the blood on the boob pads is getting less frequant now to. but i can't go without a bra lol.
gotta go zoey wants the boob, will post more later.

The queen of sickness
Hi girls,
Sorry I have been gone so long, but Jake has had a tummy bug.
ashnant, Jake & Tara both had a cold before 6 weeks. Its so hard to relax when bubs is not well. I have been stressing for the last 4-5 weeks. Try using a room vaporizer with just water in it. I also angled up his bed so his head was higher than his feet. I dont know if someone has already told you this, but I thought I would say it just incase no one has.
Prama, How are ya going? Have you bought any bargins for bub lately? I went to DFO and got some great tops for this winter. He's going to look so cute.
Jacki, I use a special bottle, but thats no help to you. I found the drops not all that good. It wouldnt hurt to give it a try. At least Infacol smells and tastes good.
Jen, How's things at your house? Is bub handling the heat well?
Ambah, expressing is so time consuming. How's does the little guy handle the waiting game for mummy and bub's feeding?
Marie, How's Cree going with Zoey? I feel bad at times, like I should be spending more time with Tara. Its hard when bub's is sick and wants you all the time. Tara loves Kinder. Hows Crees dance lessons?
Esme, Jake sleeps stacks through the night, he sleeps for 3.5 - 4 hours. During the day is every 3 hours. I was the same as you a week ago. I just streched out his feeds during the day and feed him a little more each feed. Its hard to get anything done with 2 hourly feeds. It gets very depressing.
All is going well now. Jake has big smiles on his face now, and feeds every 3-4 hours. Im starting to get a life back now.Im taking some photos today with my SLR camera today. Ive got a big black sheet and doing some nakid shots of him in a snuggled ball. Im also painting a canvis for his jungle themed room too. The uni degree is finally coming in handy.
Take care girls, I really missed you all

Hi girls,
Hope everyone is having a good weekend!
Thinking of all the mums with sick bubbies; hopefully they'll get better very soon!
Jacki - I noticed with Jasper's wind if I let him kick his legs on the floor he is much more relaxed and gets rid of a fair bit of lower belly wind. I know this doesn't help in the middle of the night though, just have to keep up the massaging... I have tried Brauer Colic Relief (all natural) didn't work for us, but I have heard some positive things about it. I bought the book 'Baby Love' written by Robin Barker. She basicly said that they are not really in pain, just getting used to the new sensations in their bellies...
2please - How do you stretch out Jake's feeds? Jasper goes off his head if we don't feed him the second he wants it and doesn't stop until he's drinking! He had a good night again last night with two 4 hour stretches, so hopefully he's settling down again. And what a beautiful little boy you have! They change so quick don't they?
I better go have some lunch before little man wakes up...
Hope everyone has a good day!

Had a rough day yesterday with bubs crying and not staying asleep beyond 1/2 hour. Probably only slept 2 hours all day !
Slept like a dream last night but now that the sun is up he is back to waking all the time
I have posted a thread asking for opinions as to whether this behavour is consistent with the "6 week growth spurt".
What do you ladies think ??
Sorry no personals - gotta go and resettle DS !

Esme, I just keep holding him and sometimes go for a drive.(Car works every time.) As Jake get closer to 6 weeks getting a routine gets easier for me. He hates sleeping at the moment. He just fights it. As for food, he right on time with every feed.(But is grumpy 1/2 hour before.)
Jacki, Yep I agree. As I said to Esme, he just wont sleep during the day. Its either a few little sleeps, or 1-2 bigger sleeps. Not much. 2 or so hours like you said. Very over tired. I will just keep plodding along till we make it to 6 weeks. Then we have teething to think of. ( Oh bummer)
