Hi ladies,
I have just read how everyone is going ans I am really feeling for you lovely ladies that are up with unsettled windy babies - hugs to you all.
Fran - I hope the improvement with the feeding contiues hun and you are doing a great job sticking it out.
Jessikah - youch at the broken Coccyx bone - you poor thing I don't have any other suggestions I am afraid.
Bec - Happy birthday for the other day, I am so sorry I missed posting on your actual birthday.
Mel - that is so exciting about a possible offer, it is such a relief when you finally don't have to keep the house spick and span for inspections - and yay on the idea of having some time out to go to the gym, that sounds like a great idea.
Trace - you poor thing with Zy being so unsettled with all of the wind pain. You are absolutely right though, I don't think it matters how many bubbas we have, they are all different and take their own figuring out iykwim.
ohh I have lost my train of thought, one child just got up, so had to take the opportunity to go and get the vacuuming done and now another is outside! lol No wonder I never get any longs posts done anymore!!!
Angus is still a fantastic bub, does get quite unsettled through the day every second day or so, especially if he hasn't had good sleeps in his bed. But he is awesome over night, usually goes down about 10-10.30 and he wakes somewhere around 6am, this morning was 7am. The older boys are stillw aking through the night though, so we have sleep deprivation from a 3yo and a 1yo, just not the newborn!!! go figure.
He is going really well with the feeding as well, my only problem is that my milk comes soooo fast that he also can get quite windy and in pain, but I am trying to really make sure I burp him well and get most if it out.
With stitches, I didn't have any this time, but I did with the first 2, and especially after NO 1 which was also a forcep delivery, the stitches, bruising and swelling took a good 6-10 weeks to go down for me, the stitches still "caught" every so often for prob 6 weeks, but then I had alot of aching down there going on as well.
I also bleed for the full 6 weeks, with it only just going now, most of the time it is like day 2/3 of a period bleed.
I can't believe Jack is nearly 8 weeks, and that most are 4,5,6 weeks already - this is really flying for me!
jesikah, you are doing a fantastic job with all you have been through. Sorry I'm no help on the Coccyx either. With the tear I found drinking more water, and going regularly helped. Sorry to hear about the bf not working out. your comment about the day nothing comes out brought a tear to my eye. I'm so much more emotional these days.
What sort of formula is he on, my 2 nieces both had to have special ones, one low lactose the other soy. that reduced their wind and screaming
Relle, thanks, good to hear angus is going well hope he keeps sleeping for you
Thanks bec, i hear you on being emotional these days i have been the same.
Ethan isn't having a special formula, he is on S-26 Gold, Alpha Pro. I dont really think there's much else i can do about my coccyx, but was hoping,lol. I was told though that it is a slow process but eventually the pain will subside a bit, but will always be uncomfortable.
