Hi!

I guess I will be the first to post!!

Our son Flynn was born on the 17th June, 3 1/2 weeks early, via an emergency c-section.

So far he is doing really well. Feeding like a champion, sleeping really well and starting to have more awake periods.

He is a fantastice baby all round. Fingers crossed he stays like this!!

Hi,

Byron was born at home on 21st June.

He is gorgeous, a good feeder and sleeper, and a happy baby!

Mummy and Daddy are are settling in to parenthood really well...

the only issues we've had is that his little shooter likes to get mummy and daddy during a nappy change, which is just great at 2am cheeky little thing!

Hello!
Just wanted to pop in quickly and congratulate all the June 2008 Babies and their Families! My little Mackenzie was born in June 2007 and time fly's sooo quickly I can't believe she is 1, enjoy each precious moment they grow before you can even blink.

Congratulations and wishing you a full night sleep soon!!

Hello,

I thought I would join this little club too!!

Josie Amelia Lily was born Monday 23 June 2008...she seems to be good at keeping up a routine and at the moment sleeps through for a good six hours at least during the night. I'm doing a lot better at parenting so far than I thought I would, and my hubby has been fantastic too

Hi ladies,

Brock was born Monday 23rd June 2.11pm. 1 week 3 days early. 7 pound 13 ounces 49cm. Was a long labour with shoulder distocia and prolonged 2nd stage that resulted in a ventouse delivery so it was all a bit traumatic for bubs, mum and dad alike.

He ended up in the special care nursery due to an infection and jaundice and we finally got home on Saturday night. We had a lot of trouble getting him to attach to the breast after he got sick as he was so drowsy from the antibiotics and had to be woken for feeds. I have not been able to get him to attach to the breast since leaving hospital so am pumping (supposed to do it 4 hourly but am struggling with that) and topping him up with formula.

He's sleeping well but is waking at 3 or 4 hour intervals. He's a really quiet baby and mostly easy to work out what's wrong with him. Have had him in the bed in the middle of the night a couple of times when he just wouldn't settle.

He had a chucky day yesterday. Had to change him 3 times before DF had even woken up, but he managed to keep his food down for the rest of the day.

He seems quite alert today, just lying in his cradle with his eyes open and not crying. Hope he stays that way.
