Oh no Mo. Both Zac & Angel had those, they were horrible, but they just had theirs tied off again & they fell off, & now they have lovely belly buttons!!
Hope everything is OK.
Hi to everyone & welcome Aussie, congratulations on David's safe arrival.
Oh sorry Mo to hear about cookie, hope it all works out. The prof pics on facebook look great, where did you get them done?
Im going to a new mothers group my health nurse recommend at the end of the month, i hope they are nice, be good to meet up with other mothers with babies the same age
We want a new bed with our stimulus money, hope it comes today
Ella only wants to sleep when shes being held, are you supposed to let them cry, im not getting anything done between the breastfeeding and the carrying, any ideas?
Thanks everyone, David is settling well apart from a night time.
He seems to sleep for about four hours during the day, wakes for a feed then after a cuddle and nappy change drifts off to sleep again a litle angel. He is much the same of a night time except the occaisonal night where he becomes a gremlin..he takes a few hours to get to settle. David sleeps in basinett in our room, or in our bed depending on how long we've been trying to get him to sleep. Can't seem to work out why he fusses so much, like last night he spent a few hours of an evening not settling and then again at 4am with a good sleep in between. Other nights it seems to be first off and then once he's been asleep and woken 4 hours later for a feed he goes off to sleep in the basinet.
It just seems he has a feed, and drifts off to sleep in arms and then as soon as you put him in the basinett he wakes crying. can't work out why...
Auzzie a lot babies do that. Do you wrap David? He may wake because he likes the feeling of being held so wrapping can help with that.
You can try sleeping with one of his blankets & then using that blanket the next day so it smells like you, that may also help. Some babies just have days where they want cuddles.
Jo I really don't trust anything that Dr had to say, she had to use the internet & a medical book to look everything up. So I'll ask the health nurse tomorrow what see thinks about everything.
It's good to know both you kids have cute belly buttons makes me feel a lot better
Kell here are some idea's for you.
1. trying using a sling, they are great for doing things around the house & most of the time they keep baby happy.
2.Trying wrapping Ella up tightly, she may just want the feeling of being held.
3. She may have wind.
4. if you feel comfortable doing it, you could putting her down on her tummy after she has fallen asleep.
As for the crying that's your choice, some people will say they only cry at this age for a reason, others will say let them cry. It really is a personal choice.
Thanks to all of you re the support towards my bf problems it really does make me feel better.
Mrs C - feeding at this early stage does take a long time, but it gets quicker each month. Bunny is learning how to bf just like you are and I bet she is loving being so close to you.
Jitterbug - I felt the same as you towards Mothers group but you all have your babies in common and that gives you all something to bond and talk over. I really hope you go and like it. I liked that we all went through the same stages with our babies and could offer support. It is also fun to watch your babe interact once they are older.
Treena - Poppy is also my little helper and is surprisingly good at it, fetching me nappies, wipes, dummies whatever i call for really. She is growing up so fast now its scary, yesterday she had her 1st haircut and peed in the potty!!
Hollo - I had DH for one week and I hang out for him to get home each night. The day goes by so fast, it still amazes me! We are also waiting for our 'Ruddy' as we call it. Though it is going into our debt. We will buy a few things but not much.
Kellbell - I agree with all that Trinity said. Its really normal behavior for little babes and mine is the same. I find that wrapping her really helps not to wake her as i transfer her to the cradle. And i keep a hand firmly on her chest as i put another blanket over her and tuck it in firmly.
Sascha is settling into a feeding and sleep pattern now, she sleeps at night from 7pm to 2am and feeds again at 6am. During the day she eats around 9am and every 3 to 4 hourly after that. I bath her each night as she loves it and it has really helped to settle her. My DH and I cherish the quiet nights we have been getting with both girls in bed. Though last night Poppy was up crying till about 2am with her last molars breaking through. I have learn't through her that routines and patterns always fluctuate and to enjoy them when they are stable!
Will do personals later, have a couple of friends dropping by so just need to be quick! Did a weigh in today and Immy is up to 4.16kg!! Her last weigh in was 17 days ago at 3.1kg -- so quite a large gain (1.06kg or about 440g a week)... now I am going to be stressing that she is gaining too much... yes, I am a paranoid first time parent hehe!
