Karina, Oskar is an oofer now!! lol I can't believe how much weight he's put on and how fast!! lol @ you DH! I would've thought the same as you did. Mind you I'm not sure that I could actually leave Oskar for that long yet...I'd feel "naked". I hate vax time too It's awful how they cry. I haven't had my pap either. I HATE them. Why couldn't they just do it when I had my legs spread already!!! PMSL.
Rachel, Oskar was full term (just over in fact) so maybe they weren't concerned as much? They did keep an eye on his temp as it wasn't stable. They put him in bed with me to keep his temp more stable Nothing was mentioned about formula EVER! He didn't lose any weight at all, he had gained 50 gms when we left 2 1/2 days after he was born... so he was a freak!! Oskar wasn't sleepy I don't think?? He was vacuumed assisted so he was a bit upset and basically spent almost ALL his time attached to my boob!! I'm surprised that they seem to be pushing formula so badly. I would say to your friend to ask ask ask questions of why they are pushing what they are and why they want to do things... and let her know that it's ultimately her decision but to make an informed one and don't be afraid to say no if she doesn't agree or doesn't think they have a reasonable or strong enough argument for what they are suggesting. I would think that there could be more to it for them to be pushing it so hard though. Maybe she needs to ask more questions or if she is afraid to get you or her DH/DP or someone else to ask for her. Sorry I can't really help more. As for Grace, is she getting a bit cold? Oskar has woken when cold (well I think so) cos the next night I changed his blanket to a fleece one instead of cotton and he was heaps better. Apparently they have a bit of a developmental change at around 4 months and it can interfere with and change their sleeping habits. I've come to the conclusion if I can't settle Oskar by rocking him and it's not a dirty bum then I chuck him on the boob... works for him and sometimes he's hungry other times I think it's just comfort or maybe he wanted a real mummy hug ...lol. Pity you're not staying in Brissie!!! We could've caught up, we'll see what happens as it gets closer though. If you have msn messenger add me buggy131 @ hotmail dot com.
Sarah, isn't it funny how it's like OMG they fell asleep on their own!! Oskar likes holding onto a nappy or a toy when he's in his capsule or pram.. looks sooooo cute!
Nat, as long as you're happy that's all that matters. It sounds like you were getting stressed before feed time which wasn't helping how you felt already. I completely understand how that would be dreading feed time though, nipples are VERY sensitive!!
Oskar has really started to grab and hold his toys a lot more lately and well CHEW them. Everything is into his mouth now...kinda gross really! He hasn't rolled yet, but looks like he's working up to it. On his back he draws his legs up and can roll the bottom half but hasn't followed through yet. Do they usually roll from back to tummy first or tummy to back first???
It's awful how they cry. I haven't had my pap either. I HATE them. Why couldn't they just do it when I had my legs spread already!!!
