Just going to say a quick hi to let you know i'll be joining you all. Charlie was born Tuesday 10 March, he's one week old today!! It may take a bit for me to settle back into the swing of things with posting and keeping up to date. Charlie is DH and my second son, we have a two year old named Aidan.
I look forward to carrying on with my belly buddies as well as maybe meeting a few newbies. Hope the feeding and sleeping isn't consuming you all too much. I have so many things going through my head and want to ask you all about but just struggle to get the time to do it.
I had my and DH first child, a girl on 1st March. Eleanor Daisy is doing pretty well and I think I'm surviving the new mother thing okay. Hope to be in here a bit more often to chat and debreif.
my first quiet time in the last 4 hours - little poppet decided that she wanted to feed for hours and even a top of of formula hasnt done the trick! And then on top she became over tired. My little chick must be going through a growth phase - she is like a bottomless milk pit I applaud all of you that exclusively breastfeed. i think my sanity would have been lost a few days ago if i didnt have formula as the back up!
I have been dying for some ice cream so now there is a little bit of piece i'm off to have a bowl.
Samm yesterday Charlie decided to sleep ALL day, he woke for feeds but was asleep again right after. I think he had a growth spurt I'm not ready for him to get bigger yet!!
Hi everyone. I just wanted to wish you all a big congratulations on the births of your new babies. It seems like just yesterday I was in the same boat as you all and now my baby is one.
Enjoy getting to know your princes and princesses. I hope you get some rest and have a good recovery.
Hi Im Meg and my son Jasper was born on 3.3.09. Like his two older sisters he is not a sleeper, and even his day sleeps have gone out the window. So we're lucky to be getting half an hour of peace day or night. To be honest I don't like this part AT ALL. I have to just let him cry as Im exhausted. So different doing this with a toddler. At least last time DD1 was 7, so it was easier to bargain with her!!
Love my little man and want to appreciate every moment but to be honest I can't wait till he's older!
Congrats to everyone else!!
Meg - is Jasper still hungry? I know that i am new to all of this but if he is not settling for you could that be a reason and not sleeping for very long? I find with Ruby, now that she is BF, that my milk is just not enough and that she is still hungry - no matter how long she feeds and is easily settled with a top up of around 30 ml of formula. I know this may not to be everyones taste given the whole BF ideal but it may help and it may let you get some rest
