Hi Roquen- yep still bf here. All going well.
Hello to everyone today. I really have bugger all to say!
Hey!
I'm still BF and FF.
TBH, Im getting tired of doing both, it just takes so much time and work. Im exhausted.
the first feed is full BF, then BF+FF, then only FF, and the others are BF+FF. He's doing 4-5feeds a day. and just before bed, i give him a BF top up and he often falls a sleep.
I dunno when I'll stop BF, maybe when he has teeth and decides it's fun biting his Ma!
Even if I do go FF during the day, I'll still BF him, first thing and last thing at night.
Roquen - I have been good! Going to the gym few times a week, there's a Fitness First just 10mins drive from mum and dad's. and not over eating, very very hard I tell you. When there's chciken rice, chilli crab, buttered prawns, sweat sour fish, just 5 mins walk from home!!!!
Did I tell you my very public BF story.
We were in Singapore Changi airport, headign back to Kuala Lumpur. We got there about 2.45pm , our flight at 5.30pm. We asked if we could get on an earlier flight (there's a flight every hr or 2hrs). and the lady at check in said, yes, you're on the 3.30 flight and you hav to go to the gate now.
Poopy starts gettign grizzly. as we head towards immigration, he starts to cry and in the queue he's screaming his head off.
Everyone's looking at us, he's in the baby bjorn and i couldnt do anything. the immigration officer gave me a sympathetic smile..
before we could get to the gate, we had to get a tax refund on our digital camera. Spre lets you claim 7% tax back when you buy electronic goods there. so whole of changi airport now hears poopy screaming. Steve goes to the tax counter. we're so rush rush as we have to get to teh gate.
I had sit on the floor in the middle of the airport in a conservative country like Spore and get my boob out, with every passing person looking, eitehr smiling or embarrased and feed poopy!
Steve comes out, and poopy luckily has now fallen asleep. As we half run to the gate, we see it's closing.. i couldnt run as poopy's head would be bouncing. but finally made it before they shut the gate!
So! I'll never be embarrased breastfeeding in public again!!!!
Hi All,
Yes, we are still BF'ing here too. All is well and I am enjoying the experience quite a lot. I will be sad to give it away i think. I am getting all the same questions as you Roquen...ans i give the same answer!
I am off to have a nap...i JUST got Zoe to sleep after she has gone the whole day today on a 30 minute power-nap at about 12:30pm!! Cheeky little bugger has flatly refused to sleep all day. At 4:30pm i decided to wrap her up tight so she couldn't wriggle and that finally worked!!! PHEW!!!!
Hi all!!!
How are you girls? Have missed you!
Just a quick update on our travels! All went well; we spent about 35 hours in transit without any sleep for DH or me. Lucky Jasper slept really well in my arms most of the time and only cried twice on the whole trip! I have to admit that I fed him to sleep and kept him on my lap while sleeping as to not wake him up. The bassinet didn't look too comfortable so we didn't use it. But I am sooo glad I was still breastfeeding as I could put him on the boob whenever he even so much as thought about crying; made all the difference.
The jetlag wasn't as bad as expected; the second night he was back in his 5 o'clock night time routine, so we haven't had any trouble at all. Today he started to roll from his tummy to his back; very happy about that as he doesn't usually enjoy being on his tummy. He is also starting to move towards favourite toys when on his tummy. The last couple of weeks he has changed so much; his face is filling out more, he has started poking his tung out and also discovered he can cough at any time! So you can regularly hear his fake cough. Really funny!
OK, DS is cranky and has to go to bed; he sleeps in the computer room so will have to go!
Bye for now!
Roquen - still breastfeeding with no intention of stopping - couldn't even it wanted to as DS flatly refuses the bottle !! Have decided not to even bother trying him anymore. I should count myself lucky that we have been able to breastfeed for so long without any problems when many people struggle. So will introduce sippy cup when start solids in a couple of weeks.
Had my mums group over for lunch today - house now a mess (next time I host as bubs will be crawling - imagine the mess then!!). Gotta run, too much to do before DS wakes and no time for personals.

esme - great to hear from you!
so glad all went well! Well done!
Lakshman is rolling fr back to tummy but not quite tummy to back, he gets stuck then gets very cross.
he's also doing a Gene Simmons, really poking his tongue out, even on the boob. like licking hte nipple and the smacks his lips. cheeky bugger.
LOL Prama, very cute!
No rolling here, just lots of laughs and smiles and a total boobie bandit.
Hi guys.
I am still BFing too and have no intention of stopping until she is 12 months old and I go back to work, so my response would be the same! It is so good for her and I am very lucky to have had no trouble BFing at all, so I will be continuing!
Thanks everyone for your support. I have been feeling really down lately. Of course it is easy to feel depressed when not getting enough sleep, and I always blame myself for everything, like DD not sleeping properly. I feel like I have done something wrong but am having such a hard time changing it! I have just gotten her down for a nap now, and managed to make her sleep in her own bed for an hour last night, plus a really decent sleep yest afternoon, so things are a little better. I wasn't sure if she was sick or something or if this sleeping in bed with us was going to become a new habit, and I just can't handle sleeping like that every night and the sleep deprivation was really starting to get to me! I am feeling a lot better today.
Esme - wow, you guys did such a great job getting through that flight without any troubles at all! Good on you! I may also just give DD the boob every time she cries when we go away and hope that works for us too!
DD still hasn't managed to roll from her tummy to her back, but still constantly rolls from her back to her tummy!
prama - good on you for BFing in public like that! You will be able to do it anywhere now!
I have also been wondering about them sleeping on their tummies. DD doesn't tend to roll over in bed and I tuck her in pretty tightly so she can't, but I have wondered if maybe she would sleep better on her tummy, but am too worried to put her down like that!
minky - I love the new pic of Noah!
I had DD weighed today and she is 7kg, over double her birth weight already! She is quite long too.
Jacki - I hope those great sleeps continue! We need a bit of that around my place!!
Roquen - Amelie (DD2) is fully BF and i think she's very happy with it! DD1 is also breastfed and she just turned 2 years old this week. She has it once a day or so now (and literally only 2 mins) and it's been a godsend esp. when she's been ill or teething. The easiest solution i can think of to calm an infant. She also has no intention of stopping any time soon!
Hi Everyone,
Esme -- great to hear everything is going well. They change so quickly don't they.
Prama -- PMSL -- he he he will be a booby man for sure when he is bigger LOL. Well done on the breast feeding in public. Love the story -- I had flashes of you doing the baywatch run to the airport gate he he.
Jacki -- it is amazing how messy a house can get in such a short space of time. Yes when they are crawling and walking it will be soooooo much messier.
Well done to everyone who is still breastfeeding -- I am envious.
I had a lovely cuddle with DD this morning -- she has really found her voice and her squeal! She loves being kissed just under her left ear and on her neck -- she was really laughin and chuckling this morning it was gorgeous. We also do nosey nosey nosey where we rub noses and she laughs and laughs.
Not much else to report have been doing lots of cooking with the boys to keep them occupied over the school holidays. We will make some more biscuits today and then some painting I have been told by DS1
Have a good day everyone and Hi to everyone I have missed
Sue
Bun - glad you're feeling better. Can someone help durign the day with Catherine so you have a bit of sleep. I know how hard it is without sleep, it really does get you depressed and you start to think of all sorts of things
Is she exclusively BF or will she take a bottle so someone can feed her for you tto have a rest.?
LOL thanks sue, i think he's going to be a boob man too. LOL.
Baywatch :ROFL: i have a lot more jiggly bits than Pam Anderson!
Ash - been a long time since i was under 25 ;)
poopy's test results all came out negative! yaay!!! nothing wrong with his urine/bladder.
Paed said dont worry too much abt the pink, it wil be ok.
Mum was goign to give poopy the bottle today and she had him al ready on her lap. i took the bottle to her and poopy looked at it. I took away to wipe it cos it was wet outside. As soon as i walked away, he started to cry! he recognises his bottle! and when mum put his towel/bib on him, he started sucking motions before the bottle got to him.
It was so funny, it's so nice that he's starting recognise things.
Tooo cute Prama!
Are yuo still comp feeding? Does he do the same thing at the breast?
Alex flails around helplessly the second i get my top half off or he hears the click on my bra!
Bun - its amazing how much better you feel with a little bit more sleep isn't it. I'm really glad that there seems to be a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel and things are better with Catherine.
Sue - I just LOVE big cuddles with DS. He is such a snuggly and cuddly little one. And I especially love the squeals and giggles of delight when we are playing.
Prama / Ash - DS is the same when he seems me unhook my bra and get him into position. Gets SO excited.
Absolutely No rolling going on here !!!
Took DS to get weighed and measured today.
8.54kg and 69cm
Almost doubled his birth weight (which would be 8.68kg)
Solids soon - i'm getting pretty excited about it. However DS is such a chucker I will be covered in pumpkin coloured vomit instead of just plain old white vomit !!!
Happy 5 months to all the bubs!!!!
Not much to report here. The only thing that has changed is that we have stopped wrapping DD for sleeps. She is still in her sleeping bag but just goes into bed under the covers. She looks so beuatiful asleep with her arms above her head.
Have a good day everyone
Sue
lol. poopy gapes like a fish out of water at the boob!
yup! happy 5mths!!!!
sue - do you stop sterilising bottles after 6mths?
I'm getting excited about starting solids too, it seems like something new and exciting at the moment but I know it will just be more effort for me :lol:
No rolling here, just lots of jibberish, lots of in love with Raggs the dog, lots of laughing and smiles. Had two good days the last two which im thankful for as my boobs needed a rest hahah.
Everyone's bubs are looking gorgeous!!
Sue - DS does that when sleeping too, hands above the head soooo cute!
AFM - PND getting better, slowly starting to get back into the swing of things. I still have days where I completely resent Anthony and Alexander and that's hard, but now I have days where Alex smiling make me smile too... and that had been totally taken away, so there is imporvement.
A quick one
Ash -- great to hear you are feeling a bit better. DD is 'talking' heaps as well its so cute.
Prama -- I have always sterilised bottles until they are 12months old and then they go onto dairy. I also have always given my lot cooled boiled water to drink until they are 12months also!!
BBL
Sue
ash - glad your feeling better. i know some days i feel down too. and i feel almost nothing towards bub, but it doesnt last long.
sue - thanks!
sorry quick one too.
