Hi girls! Stioll here......not sure about contraception either - when Lucie was 3 months old I was pg with Ned, so it can happen! Not planning on any more kids so will have to sort it out. Got my post natal doc appt today and then have to take Henry to demonstrate bathing and nappy changing and stuff to a class of midwife students.
Was planning on heading to airshow tomorrow but decidedthe risk to H's ears is too great
Anyway crazy day....Ned taking apart the computer atm.....
hi ladies,
well, it really up and down for these early weeks isn't it? Some days are good, some days it seems all we do is try and settle our bubs. I just realised that I spend almost 12 hours a day in our bedroom!! Either sleeping, resting, settling Amara.
i don't do a dreamfeed atm. I feed/bath/feed her at 7pm and then she sleeps until 12 midnight approx and then again around 3-4am and then I always get her up at the same time of 6.30am. I go to bed after I feed her at 7pm - usually takes about 30-45 mins to wrap, feed from the other breast, burb, sit upright, cuddle and then to bed. Will try the 'rollover feed' (as what it used to be called) when she is a bit older.
Do any of you who are fully breastfeeding cut out anything in your diet?? I do not eat chocolate, coffee/tea, citrus fruits, cabbage/brocolli or milk products (have soy milk) and also reduced my sugar intake. also limited peanut butter (which is hard as I love it).
This is what the nurse who came to our house recommended. Yes, I think Amara is better - but maybe it is the Mylanta? Who knows hey? in any case, she said I can eat all these things again after 3 months.... so only about 7 weeks to go!!
Looking forward to the weekend - Sat is my day for my 'long run' and then a dip in the ocean! Sunday we are going to a Buddhist workshop/meditation afternoon - Amara is generally very good in the sling, so it SHOULD be Ok.
well alls good today.........
just wanna know when u guys feed in the middle of the night do you change the nappy? i did at 3am and he woke up an wouldnt go down til 515am....he went down this morning in 5 mins,asleep no dummy,woke up 40 mins later and no wont go back to sleep.
Well i rang tweddle(sleep school and child services)and we are going to the day stay progamme near my house as the issue of him not self settling is ridiculous....hes a brilliant sleeper,its getting him to sleep and getting him to put himself back to sleep,,,ive had this problem since day one,that and i made the mistake of cuddling him to sleep at the start as he wouldnt settle then,and my MIL damn rocking him cos he wont settle...grrrr naughty boy
Im really disappointed with my private hospital,not did i pay big money to got here cos they are sposed to be one of the best private maternity hospitals(which they were far from)but now i rang about the sleep school they have and they tell me they might not run the classes anymore or they cant gimme an answer...I wanted to go there because they are supposed to offer the best of inpatient as well as outpatient care,,,its like thanks for your money,see-ya!!!
anyway im off,got a house to clean b4 my real estate agent brings hopefully a buyer for me,i have 3 people fighting over my house...
cheers bon
hi Soniebon,
I only change Amara's nappy in the night if she REALLY needs it changed - like if there was a big, big runny pool or leaking with wee. Otherwise, no! Yes, I agree because it wakes the litle darlings up!
That sucks about your hospital no having sleep school/help and paying such good money.
I went to a sleep place in melbourne with my first, it was at Canterbury - cannot remember the name of the place - but what really helped was someone coming to my place and seeing what I did in MY environment -worth the money.
But all is good - your little man is still so young and you are great to do something about it now.......I still think maybe I do some things to help Amara sleep that I should not - like picking her up - but I do this when she is really crying and why not??? She is only 5 weeks old! So don't be hard on yourself. I know i am, that is why I say it to you.
anyone on the forum who has to wake up bubba because of school pick ups??? Ahh, I know I just have except it that is the way it is, but hate seeing Amara dragged around sometimes..
I don't change DD unless she really needs it either (at night), but I have been using a nappy pin to keep the wrap nice and secure , she sleeps better but i can also just wriggle it up when i do have to change her so she stays asleep or very close to it! It's worked really well for me, especially as it is getting that bit colder at night
