Babies Born March 1st - 15th 2008

Hi guys,

I did post in the old thread trying to explain the split......

I would imagine you girls all stay together anyway? Aren't your little ones all born between the 1st and 15th anyway? And if there is anyone who falls outside the dates I don't know why they can't still post here? If it's a bonding/comfortable thing then I dont know why it would be a problem??

Sorry to butt in.

Afternoon girls,

DJ has had such bad wind this morning arghhhh roll on 12 weeks well at least I am told it is supposed to settle down by then. I have the apt with paed next week so will bring it up and see what he says about it. Infants Friend is working, making him fart which is good so releasing the gas so to speak.

But great news, went to baby clinic earlier and got DJ weighed etc and he now weighs 5.5kg, 60cm long and his head circum is now 38cm. I am very happy with that

Such a growing boy.

Ania - thanks for posting the schedule - how long did she say to feed for? ie. duration - 10 mins?? especially those frequent feeds in the afternoon, how long should they be. I might give something like that a go and see how we go. I have fed basically all morning with DJ because he has been so unsettled.

Danni - don't worry I know what you mean and you know what when you start to relax that is when they wake up and you get no rest. arghhh it is a vicious cycle haha I am always hoping I can stretch out feeds so I get a break.

Prama - how is poopy doing? have you managed to get outside today - it is stunning outside, went for a walk to baby clinic and then visited a friend also. It was good to get outside and walk DJ in his pram.

Looks like DJ is finally asleep - not sure how long that will last he is only having mini sleeps today. Hopefully that means he will sleep really well tonight.

Take care everyone and make sure you get outside in the sunshine - great medicine for us

Shell xxxx

shell - it is a lovely day outside!! it was so nice to be outside!
well done on DJ's weight gain! he's so lovely! and im so glad his hair is growing back!
went to pharmacy direct to get some huggies wipes, not going to use JJ ones, some infacol & little fess for us to take away. and got a big tin of sustagen. the midwife recommended it before, to keep the energy level up while bf-ing. then poopy got hungry so fed him in the car, and realised the aircon was too cold, so i got out of the back seat with him still on my boob, and turned it down.. didnt even realise i was out in public! there was a man in the car parked next to me, i think he didnt notice cos he was playing with his baby and singing.. lol

ania - did she say how long? im feeding about 20mins each side, but he still seems hungry always, thats why im topping up. im back to taking fenugreek tablets and cont with motilium.

guess it's back to just us in this thread, i will miss the others. but then again, i suppose they could say i dont belong here....

I have a question.... its going to be TMI - but have to ask...
Anyone noticed CM changes? mine has changed and TBH i am ****ting myself, CM is thin and stringy - egg whiteish, i have read that means possible ovulation.... heres the problem, we DTD the day that it changed with no contraception... could this be the case, or do changes happen that are not related to cycles? I guess as she has started sleeping through i am more likely to ovulate, but she it still totally BF...
wht do you think?

SJ - yeah, im afraid that that's one of signs of ovulation, i was doing the billings method when TTC poopy. but with that you have to DTD within 48hrs to concieve. what you could try is to monitor your basal temperature, if you want. after ovulation your temp goes up, and just before AF is due it will drop again, if you are pg it will stay up. im not sure how it works if you are bf-ing tho. but then with basal temp you have to take your first morning temp, so that wont work with bf-ng in the middle of hte night. sorry, im not helping.

so sorry, im not helping.. i hope it will all be ok.. you could do a HPT after 10-14 days.
