well yep she was the 1st!unless there was someone else who we don't know about yet, Baby Caitlyn was born @ 1.40pm today 3.6kg 48cm, can't wait to hear more!
Enigma is that formula or EBM (although I don't think it makes a difference)??? I'm sure in my baby love book it says 60-120ml for the first four weeks and every four hours is the std feeding pattern for bottle fed bubs I believe. I'm BF so couldn't tell you how many mls DS#2 is getting but I remember from DS #1 on the odd occassion when he had a bottle (of EBM) in the first few weeks he was certainly more like 60ml rather than 120ml.
YOu might get more opinions in the general baby and toddler discussion or the feeding discussion threads cause there aren't too many hanging round in here yet.
ETA: I would agree with Rac if she is sleeping well in between she is content and happy with what she's getting.
I wouldn't have a clue how much Niall is getting... I can't seem to express very well at all ATM... too engorged. I've been using a Kaneson manual pump (awaiting a hired electric one from a pharmacy). This pump worked for me with my previous children so I know my technique not's failing... I'm just too full and really couldn't be bothered mucking around anyhow because Niall is feeding so well. All I know is that he is sucking very efficiently for about 10-15 minutes every 4/5 hours. In between he is sleeping... only cries when i change his nappy which is regularly wet/dirty. I think these clues all add up to a baby that is getting enough
ETA: Actually 4/5 hours is the longest he's gone for and that's at night... sometimes I give him 3 feeds within 2 hours.. it really varies... guess you'd call it demand feeding... whatever it is I'm happy with his level of demand ATM.
Baby Flynn is doing really well - here is the quick labour story....
Water broke at 5.30 Saturday, in hosp for observation Saturday morn and arvo, then went home and stayed there till 2.30 am Sunday morning. Found out I was 9cm dialated already. Labour slowed (as expected) once I got to hosp (combo of being watched and monitored and being bloody tired). OB arrived about 5.30am, administering oxytocin (a godsend cause my contractions had waned by then). Flynn was born by natural delivery without forceps at 8.51am Sunday morning. Little snip and one stitch to me and all was well.
He is feeding really well and sleeping heaps - I am waiting for my luck to run out cause I am pretty sure once he is aware of the outside word (ATM he only eats, poos, wees and sleeps) he will start being ratbaggy!!
Hope to be a more regular contributor once broadband is hooked up
Enigma - just had another look in my book and it actually says up to 60ml for the first week and then 60 - 120ml up to four weeks of age so Aneta is right on target.
Rory - glad to hear all is well certainly sounds like little Flynn is doing wonderfully well. Look forward to chatting when broadband is in action.
phew thats a relief then ! Thanks Jaspen . . we have decided to give her as much as she wants with the formula, if she's had too much she just spits it out again , so far so good...
hows everyone's nights looking?? getting much sleep ??
Niall's sleeping very well at night so far... however I've been bringing him into bed with me and therefore I'm missing out on a really deep sleep. Last night DD had a sleepover and DS fell out of bed and got upset so DH went and slept with him in DD's double bed. I therefore had a lot more room in our Queen size bed with Niall which was great. I'm going to keep encouraging him to sleep in the bassinette beside my bed and hopefully by the time the weather warms up a bit he won't feel too bad about being put down to sleep in his big cot in the nursery. Well that's how it worked with Wade. This little guy is similar in temperament so fingers crossed he'll continue to be a good sleeper. I know that regardless there will be a few months in between of chaotic sleep patterns (similar to what Nic's going through) where 5am starts to the day will become the norm. Oh well... at least I'm mentally prepared for it I guess.
I just thought I'd pop my head in and say congratulations! I'm so glad that all your bubs seem to be doing so well. It's a bit quiet in here, but I'm sure it will pick up soon once everyone is back to some kind of normality. I can't believe my Toby is already 2 weeks old - time flies, doesn't it? Reminds me how short this period really is. Before we know it they'll be asking for the keys to the car and wanting to take swigs of our wine!
Anyway, Toby was due in May so I've been posting in there so far, but if it's ok with you I might pop my head in here from time to time. It's so lovely to know people whose babies are the same age as mine. Hope you're all recovering well, and I look forward to hearing all about your bubs as time goes on.
Hi Kellee
Welcome.. I can't believe how quickly time flies. Caitlyn is 3 weeks old already... I am just starting to get the hang of this parent thing... Feeding and sleeping seem to be such big concerns at the moment...
Life is getting better as she starts to smile at us...
Sorry losing the plot.. Hope all is going well for everyone.
