Mo - I'm glad Maddi's party went well - Happy Birthday to her
JB - feeling for you with the feeding issues. I hope things are starting to settle down.
Went to Health centre last Monday - weight and HC remain on 50th percentile but length is going down - ha! Not surprising as DH and I are pretty short really.
I am very scepticle re medical stuff as I have worked in health for over 20 years so sorry if I dont sound like a conformist at times - hard to trust when you know so much - most nurses have this ailment
Dotty - feel for you deeply. What a terrific little fighter you have.
praying that you will get the answers and support you need. x
Oh Jess sweetie sorry I have not been there for you this week. Sweetie call me if you need it hun. C stopped feeding for a bit a few weeks ago too and this week has dropped another bottle.
Is Immy on soilds she may reduce the feeds on solids
Mo: I am so glad the party went well
AFM: Naming Day went well although I am aware I am too old to do things at home anymore and being a Mum has clearly shown what I can and cannot cope with by way of interefance in my child's day.
Good to hear the naming ceremony went well. Selfishly can't wait for you to get back! So excited about your upcoming cycle!!
Honestly, have just had the worst weekend. Don't want to go on too much because I feel like I have been so negative lately. Basically, Imogen was sick, DF was working 10pm to 6am and my parents are overseas. I really suck as a Mum. I honestly really just can't do it.
How are you going Dotty? Hope things are alright xo
Jess you know you can talk to us all you want, Who cares if the post is all about you,
I'm here to listen pm me if you need. You don't suck as a Mum i can tell you stories of when Maddi was a baby & i can guarantee they are far worse
Hey JB, you are evidently an excellent mum! I mean it. You are showing enormous concern for your baby and you have a strong desire to do your best to care for her well. That is what makes a "good" parent. Of course everything about raising kids is grey but we wish it were black and white. I have had tantrums 'back in the day' when I lacked support and felt frustrated with the situation but it didnt make me a 'bad' mum. I have apologised to my kids numerous times over the years for making mistakes.
Definition: A 'bad parent' is one that does not care about the impact they have on their offspring, has kids to benefit themselves, and wouldnt say they are a 'bad parent'.
Hang in their babe! And get a professional opinion on what is happening with bubs. A good paediatrician or health centre nurse may do the trick, or call your local mother baby unit staff. If they tell you not to worry but you are still worried ask again until you feel you know what is going on.
JB the end of our last week was ****ty for me too! DH comes home like after 6 pretty much every night and it is really hard feeding, bathing and getting dinner ready with 2 kids. Hannah is super whingy and chelsea is super clingy! sometimes it is unbearable and i too feel like i need to have more patience with them. i think we all get like that sometimes!
Chelsea has a chest infection and hannah has an ear infection! so that is probably why they have both been so hard to handle lately!
JB - sweetie post away after reading it all I say she maybe looking at dropping a feed C chews her teats. You are an amazing Mum I have seen you and you do a fab job sweetie.
Love you all so much fellow Mummies and I think we should remember this job is not meant to be smiles all the time like any job
sorry I have not been there for you this week. Sweetie call me if you need it hun. C stopped feeding for a bit a few weeks ago too and this week has dropped another bottle.
for your big days ahead!
