No AF here yet. Havent started mini pill as I am reluctant but not ready TC yet either. Dont know when I should start it.
Hollo - that must be terrible to be sore still. Hope it improves soon.
Am leaving Miss T with her grand parents tomorrow night as we are going to a gig in the city for DH work. Wont be home till after MN. Hope she is settled as she is used to sleeping off the breast and doent normally take a bottle. We will see eh! I am looking forward to the break though.
Hi All,
its been ages since we've posted but we've been off overseas and back for a couple of weeks now. David is doing well 5 months got his MCHN checkup on Friday see how he's doing. He's started solids now which is fun with baby rice and various pureed veg going everywhere. We're now on formula, i had problems with my AF returning and my milk supply fluctuating greatly. It was also difficult because of David refusing my milk (screaming/arching back) for the first few days of AF and then him not gaining weight at a steady pattern. He is now happily on formula growing steadily (so far) we still have some frozen EB milk which he has a bit of each day.
Was wondering as time is FLYING past! Has anyone thought about returning to work? We were discussing it the other day at Mum's group and thought would go back to work but only until bubs #2 arrives (thinking of trying from christmas) but just worked out it is only feasible with one bub..
2 bubs childcare costs gobble up all my salary and some :| So not sure what we'd do then.
Not much to report here. The funeral is for Friday and is a 2hr drive away. Will be my first funeral so am a bit nervous. I don't think it has really sunk in but I imagine that it will hit home on Friday.
sorry to hear of your loss JB! i lost my nana just before chelsea was born. she was in NZ so it didnt get to go to the funeral but it is not a nice time!
welcome back linda! sooooo, what happening with theTTC?
i'm not going back to work. i only do 2 days a week and the fees for two kids is something like $200 a week. i would only make about $5 more including less FTB and income with having to pay those fees. so it looks like i will be a SAHM until at least hannah goes to school! :-)
i just started a thread about it, but do you think bubs have preference for tastes already? i dont think chelsea is a fan of banana?
Sorry to hear of your loss JB, its not fair we have lose the people we love big
We had our check up yest and Ella has hardly put on any weight this month, she is quite active and i wasn't really worried but the nurse seemed to be. She is 8kg and is 69 cm, but she has dropped down a couple of curves on that graph thing. So she got me all worried.
Grrr i hate the silly growth graph thing
Yes i think Ella def has different tastes in what she likes, i dont think she like pear much
I have to go back to work in five months in feb, hopefully well be working on no 2 so ill be back off again, then i dont know what we will do!
KB - yeah the graph is silly and especially when the MCHN gets all anxious. We have our 6 month check next week and I hope there is no stupid stuff
I just spoke to my MIL and she said Miss T took a bottle of EBM last night!!!!!! That is a first and means I can go out occasionally at night now.
The gig last night was really interesting with some creative young talent. I initially flet concerned about the loudness but then remembered that I am not carrying a baby and she wasnt with us. Felt good actually. Tired today though
Kell they like babies to follow a curve. Like kodi is below average for weight but because her curve has below average since 12wks they're not worried, but when Kodi has that big dip at 12wks we had to go in for weekly weighs till they were satisfied she was just a small gainer.
I wouldn't worry about it, any weight gain is good & with Ella being 8kgs i think your doing a fantastic job.
Linda welcome back, i'm so looking forward to meeting you next month!
JB i'm so sorry for your loss
Still no solids here & Kodi had her 6 month check-up.
She weighs 6.7kg & is 65.5 cms long.
Hi,
can i rejoin??? I was here ages ago but have been having a hard time with my girl!! she is currently being investigated for rare metabolic disorders due to lesions found on her liver!! she also has a nasogastric tube in her nose as she refuses to feed and we are currently going through feeding therapy at Princess Margaret hospital due to her oral sensitivities! none of this has been what i imagined, my little girl is only 52cm long and weighs a tiny 4.5kg. Every day is a struggle for us but i'm just praying we get some answers soon so our little girl can be a normal happy and healthy bub!!! sorry for the vent but just wanted to let you know about me. look forward to getting to know you all. hope everyone's stories are a lot more positive!
Kodi is 6 months today & i'm so happy we made t to 6 months b/fing
Does anyone else have a super clingy baby? I can't even leave the room without K cracking up!
How exciting, Linda! Sending you the best of vibes. Also hope you have a fantastic trip, will miss you and miss c!
Dotty, hope things improve for you and your little one.
Mo, we are having a super clingy bub but to be honest, she has always been much like that. She won't go to anyone and freaks if I go out of sight... Happy 6 Months to your little lady.
I have had the worst day. I must have broken a mirror or walked under a ladder. I am sitting here, just days after my proud 6 month breastfeeding mark, wondering if we are approaching the end. I don't know if it is the heat, the fact I have AF, if she is cutting her top teeth or she has nipple confusion but I cannot get Imogen to attach... she doesn't even try to suck, not once, just clamps down with her top gum and bottom teeth... my nipples are sore, she hasn't eaten for hours and I don't know what to do... I'm so scared that she will never come back to the boob. I don't mind expressing or formula feeding but I don't know the first thing about it and feel so overwhelmed.
Awww JB sweety, i'm so sorry
I bet it's all of those factors & she will come back to boob.
Can't really help with the b/fing issue but i can listen & if you decide on ff i can help you with that.
Just missed by Baby Buddies and wanted to share the TTc of #2 with you
to all
