Firstly I want to smack everyone on the bum in here who even has any reason for thinking they are doing this parenting thing wrong!!! That is silly talk and I wont have it! These new little people we are raising dont come with a manual! They cant communicate with us except through crying and it is bloody hard work figuring out what, when and why with them! Now no more negative talk Mummys!!! WE CAN DO THIS!!!
Nic, as for Nixon chucking constantly, I would suggest a top up with a formula fo babies with reflux. Every brand makes on and even though you mght not like the idea, trust me it COULD help. It did with Mia cos she was a very spewy baby to start with. I stunk of puke 24/7!
IK, your other half is lucky he isnt with me cos I would slap him for even suggesting that I do housework! My bubs are 6wks old and I only picked up a vacuum yesterday! Who cares if the house is messy! You are being the best mum you can by persevering with the breastfeeding so dont even think about cleaning!
Jess, mine are May bubs too but I went in there and hardly knew anyone so I bolted and came in here!!! I think they should re-name our thread
"Babies who were MEANT to be born in June" !! What do yous reckon? Then we could all be together!
Simone, Hi I dont think we have met, how are you? Congrats on the birth of your little girl. She was pretty anxious to meet her mummy! Glad she is doing well!
Tulip, wrapping is great even though they dont SEEM to think it is. They will wriggle and squirm but in the end they DO like it because that is all they know from being so snug in the womb. Jack and Charlee grunt and groan when I put them down at night but soon settle and sleep very soundly and I really think this is because of the wrapping. Also, I really believe, (and this comes from the experience of being a second time mum), that putting babies down awake and letting them LEARN to put themselves to sleep is the way to go. With Mia I always cuddled her to sleep and when I put her down she would generally always wake up. As I dont have four arms I decided from hospital that the twins would be the opposite. It does take patience but it does get easier. If baby wont settle, gently stroking the forehead or tapping bottom usually does the trick. Just try a few things. you will be right sweety! I know how frustrating newborns can be! IVE GOT TWO!!! AAARRRGGHH!!! (runs screaming from the house!) just kidding....
