Hi Girls oops I meant Mums,lol. Sorry I haven't been posting as much! I s'pose - I dont know why but I loved our last thread! Attachment issues haha...

I've had so many pages to catch up on... & no way I can respond to all of it!

Jen - It can be difficult to know at times what to do with bubs Especially if the crying on & off just seems like a constant thing. With our first it was hard. Not much sleep for me. I remember walking her up & down the hallway singing to her, rocking her whatever did the trick! Every baby is different. Jackson has in the last week or so become quite windy come night time & it takes us awhile to settle him down to sleep but I still dont think he was as bad as Cara. But maybe thats just because this is our 2nd time around and we're more exp'd & confident! Jackson is also breast/bottle. I think its the formula thats causing the wind so we've changed to see if it makes a diffence. Hope so. Dont feel horrible about using formula! Okay We do what we need to do for our babies! I've never had enough to go exclusive. And had alot of painful moments trying to b/feed.OUCH.

Mary - I'm still around! thanks for asking about us Mums who haven't been on in awhile Just trying to catch up with alot of friends as well & having 2 kids to care for during the day I dont always get the time on here. Have to find a few minutes before bedtime to come in & say Hi And it can be hard to do things when you want with a bubby too! Our Jackson is normally awake from about 5 or 6 til 9ish or so - & if I dont prepare dinner earlier while he's sleeping its hard to do later on while he's awake because he demands my time too! I guess you soon learn their sleeping pattern so you plan around that,lol.

Is everyone eating okay??!!

It can be hard when you have bubs to make sure that you are actually getting enough to eat... I think thats why I lose my weight quickly for that very reason. I just get so busy caring for everyone else that I come last! So just make sure - like I'm trying to do- that you do get the food into yourselves & the fluid as well. Especially if youre b/fing.

Kate, Jess,Jo, April - big hello's to you all. Sorry I haven't personals for you but I promise I'll catch up next time okay! Glad ur all going well though & your bubs.

Jen- Which formula are you using & does it seem to make Amber windy at all? Or maybe its too soon to tell yer. Couldn't tell with Jackson till about a wk ago Arghhh...'

Chat again soon
