Babies Born July 1st - 15th 2008

[Case]

hi guys
havent been in for a while, sounds like everyone is doing great though.

Jackson will be 6 weeks on wednesday - time has flown by.
He has stacked on the weight and two weeks ago weighed 4.52kg. He was 3.93 when born but had milk supply issues and dropped to 3.3kg in hospital - so we are stoked with his progress in that department. Hes mainly on the bottle now (S26 gold) and has a couple of breastfeeds a day as well... slowly just onto bottles though.

He sleeps well at night and has a good feed - play - sleep routine happening during the day which is great!!

DP is also loving it - though hes sleeping at the moment - not sure exactly what hes tired from as I am getting up in the night and then again around 5.30 - 6 - ggrrrrr (sorry had to vent!).

Hope all continues to go well. Six week check tomorrow for us.will do personals next time, must go make some bottles up or I will be sorry!

hi all,

I hope everyone is going well, and had a good weekend.

Had a few nights of better sleep not longer but more settled, only managed to get Reaghan in her bassinet for one night sleep better than none. She is going fairly well though still has not realy settled into anytype of routine that you can pick. She feeds from any where from 2 hours to 5hours, it will be nice when I can predict it a bit more.

I made myself a maitai baby carrier and tried it out last week it worked great a bit tricky to get on but am learning.

Looking forward till tommorrow and the next 4 days as hubby will be home, he works 4 on 4 off as he works for the Ambulance service here as a Ambulance support officer. Which means shift work, and when he on nights makes it hard.

I hope everyone has a good week.

Hi all!
My little man Riley was born on the 1st July after 16 hours of labour, one day before his EDD and the day before his daddys birthday!
We have been very lucky as he is a total angel, very calm and got himself into a routine pretty much from day dot! put down to sleep at around 9-10 in his bassinet besides our bed, wakes for a feed between 2 -3 then goes straight back down for a sleep till around 6 when he wakes for cuddles in the bed with us till around 7.
I cant believe he is nearly 6 weeks old! It still feels like he was only born yesterday!
Anyway must go, hope everyones bubs are doing well and look forward to keeping in touch in the future!!
Kris

Hi everyone,

Tan we had our bubs on the same day! I was at the hospital at 7.15 am as my waters broke at 6am exactly but it took them until about 4 15 to get the Caesar organised.

Gracie had a bad case of colic on Sat night, was so upset for her as she screamed for hours then I got her on some wind drops which seem to be helping!

Sheree sorry to hear about all of the problems with bubs. I am sure you did nothing wrong in your pregnancy it's just the hand we get dealt so don't be hard on yourself.

Hope everyone is going well I am so tired when bubs is active all day, she is so alert I don't get much done and not much time to rest!

Take care everyone!

Hi all.

Stars69: yeah we have baby birthday buddies.

I took Lachlan to get weighed today with the baby nurse at the local chemist, i was shocked, Lachlan weighed 5.260kg. Mind you he did have a wet nappy on. and he measured 56.5 cms no wonder he is growing out of his clothes. He is growing so fast.

It seems its our turn now for constipation, poor Lochie hasnt pood for a few days now, and although i know its common for breast fed bubs to go along time between poos, he is very uncomfortable and groaning an awful lot, he goes red in the face and all that comes out is some rather smelly air.
WE have been trying the sugar and water and also coloxyl drops, still no action. I think we will be in for a big mess when he finally goes again poor mite. He is really unsettled in the afternoons now, but still sleeping well at night so i can handle the i just want you to hold me for hours sessions.

Gosh I didn't realise bf bubs could go that long without pooing. Omg, my child grunts and groans and struggles and yet he still does so many a day it is not funny. I think when he poos he is releasing alot of his wind too! He just struggles so badly. Hope Lachlan poos for you soon hun.


Riley was also weighed today. He now weighs 5.54kgs at 6.5 weeks old and is 59cm long in length.

It is horrible when they are that upset hey. What wind drops are you using?

[tan32]

Hi all,
Still no poos, well we did have signs of one yesterday but more like a skid mark in his nappy.

I had him weighed yesterday he weighed in at 5.260kgs although he had a wet nappy on so i would say around 5kgs, thats about a kilo in the last two weeks. He now measures 56.5cms so all good for 5 weeks old.
Well we are off to see the doctor about the no poo issue. I just dont think he is right.

Take care all

Just thought I'd drop in to see how my old belly buddies were going. I can't believe all the Rileys!!!!! My little one is Brock Riley..... great minds think alike.

We had our first overnight sleep on Monday night. Shame it didn't happen again last night, had a feeling it would be a once off. I can't believe how much quieter our baby threads are compared to our pregnancy ones. Our bubs must be keeping us busy.

[shereejoy]

Yes it is amazing how many Riley's there are huh.

Reaghan slept from 950pm till 350am in her bassinet finally yeah it was great. The night before she slept with us from 1030pmtill 3am so they getting longer hopefully she will start to get a routine. I am getting her weighed next week for her 6 week check have not done any weighing properly since she was 11 days old.

cheers

Hi Ladies,
I'm a newbie to Baby Buddies and thought I'd introduce myself. I've just come over from July 16th-30th BellyBuddies Group.
I was due with my first on July 28th but Connor David decided to arrive early on July 10th at 6:08 in an emergency c-section (stubborn boy was breech). Weighed in at 7lbs 14oz (3570g) and was 49cm. He was in the special care nursery for the first 24 hours as he has fluid on his lungs and hypothermia.
Have had a little trouble breastfeeding as I have a fast flow and he drowns in it so attaching is difficult. I'm expressing at least 3 times a day for him and he's taken to the bottles of breast milk better than the breast.
Sleeping in his own room in a bassinett and is waking through the night at 10-11pm, 2-4am and 7-9am which we're very happy with. Sleeps fantastically at night but not very well during the day. But at least its not the other way around I guess
Anyway, looking forward to discussing the many ups and downs of motherhood with you all.
Cheers,
Elle

Sheree - I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that kind of thing will not transfer through your milk. Hope you are feeling better.
