Hi girls, as it is the first of July I have finally made the switch to baby buddies! Good to see you in here, hopefully everyone will be in here soon!

Bathsheba & Dee - I am overwhelmed by how sad and sentimental I am feeling about this being my last baby. I thought I'd be pleased to have my childbearing behind me, but I am constantly thinking "this is the last time I'll do this/see this/feel this". It's not that I actually want any more children, DH and I have always agreed on having 2. It's hard to explain, but it's like a big, momentous part of my life is over, never to return.

Candy - I am formula feeding after a 2nd unsuccessful attempt at breastfeeding (enter more feelings of sadness!) and I use S26 Gold. It is apparently reknowned for causing constipation, but all formulas will cause it to some degree due to the iron, which is not in breast milk. I used it for my DS too, and had issues with constipation at first but he got over it quickly and I didn't want to chop & change formulas. Freya was a little constipated at first, I would have to cycle her legs to get her to poo, but now she is fine.

Well, after the first 2 weeks of being a eat then sleep baby, Freya is having random periods of unsettledness. She has also gone from feeds every 4 hours back to every 3 hours. DH has been great with sharing the night feeds, so I've been getting decent sleep, but he goes back to work next week and then I'll be struggling I think, as it's hard to catch up during the day when you have to look after a very active toddler as well! I've had a fantastic recovery from the c/s, feel almost completely normal already, apart from some pain if I do a lot of walking.

OK, hope you're all well and will try and get in here as much as possible!
