Rory good to hear from you. Glad Flynn is well, he is growing very well indeed!
DH is tall 6f 2 i think so no doubt nixon will be tall too. Im only 5f 6 so def doesnt get it from me or my side of the family!
IK- ive had a few issues bf. firstly Nixon didnt know how to suck when he was born, so didnt get to try for a couple of weeks. Then because his mouth was small and still trying to get the hang of it Latching on was an issue, so i was given a nipple sheild and it seemed to help him. so since then i kept trying without it but wouldnt work cause theres not much to latch onto, unless i try him after he has already drawn the nipple out with the sheild for a while. the mchn has been annoying me to come in and try without it so finally today i did and maybe it paid off. Just fed him again and seems to be one side easier then the other, but didnt stay on the whole time. but maybe just gradually it will become easier.
Nickers - well, good on you for getting this far with it Yep, everyone assures me that it just 'comes good' after a while, so hang in there - I'll be hanging in there with you! I'm glad the MCHN annoyed you enough to give 'au naturel' a go!
We got Oscar's tongue snipped today and we just had our first feed since the procedure...left side is still crappy, but the feed on the right side (ravenous monster needed feeding from both sides!) was much improved. If, in a couple of days, I'm still having some 'pinchy' issues, I'll organise to see the LC again. I figure he's going to take some getting used to the movement in his tongue. The GP reckons it was a severe tongue-tie, not moderate, and was glad to nip potential speech problems in the bud. So, yep, Nickers, I'm right there with you waiting for it to just come good...
Oscar was really good for the GP - he was asleep in the waiting room, and wriggled a bit under her hand, only cos he objected to having his head held still by DP...then went back to sleep without so much as a cry, much to the GP's chagrin!
Anyway, gonna finish this pie and then fold some nappies...very therapeutic folding cloth nappies
Well our rain didn't last long - so I guess we're in for level 3 restrictions (no hose usage) for a while longer.
Thanks to all those who commented on Aleise's photo. Yeah she's a cutie but I guess every mum thinks that about their child!
Unforntunately I have a painful ear infection. I saw the doc today so I'm on rulide antibiotics. Maybe it will get me out of cooking tonight??
Jess: hope Patrick gets better really soon - you haven't had a good run lately darls and I pray things get better for you really soon!
Candy: How is Ryan doing lately? I finally finished my pram blankie yesterday and Matt can no longer give me rubbish about not finishing my knitted projects! Just hope I can get the poncho done for Aleise (with goochie feathers and puffed wool). Should be cute once its completed.
Nickers: Great to hear Nixon is doing so well. I have no idea how much my little poppett weighs since her last one was 3 weeks ago she was 3.4kg (about 300 gram increase from birth). I suppose I should scout around for a baby club session at the local pharmacies.
Sorry not many personals - kinda tired. Well hope to catch you again soon. Love to all mums and bubs!
