hehe thanks regarding squirts! it's interesting to see how the milk squirts.
sj - thanks for the reassuring words, i know what you mean abt weight. i was also upset cos he's at the lowest in length too. i just cry over this. im trying my best to bf him and get him to put on weight.im also topping up cos he still seems hungry after the boob.
nappies - im going to start using the longer insert now and fold it in half. ive been using the small insert but he's wetting more and more heavily. i havent used boosters yet.
im glad ive actually managed to bf him so far, even tho it's w formula. im doing most feeds on the boob now, still with pain but im managing it better. im taking it one week at a time, setting myself little goals. i was thinking till 4mths, but his GP said to try till we come back fr OS which will be at 6mths. he'll start solids then, so will see how we go with bf. either 6 mths now or till he teeths. the LC reckons i have sensitive nerve endings which makes it more painful, so i think with teeth it's going to hurt me. thanks for letting me know.
i like the idea of trim nappies, poopy looks like a bumble bee in his BBHs.
the nice thing about the colourful nappies that on girls you can show them off under their dresses, hehe they can flash a little.
good on you on feeding in the pub! i think id be more comfortable in front of strangers than ppl i know.
are you girls going to bf for a year or till you go back to work?
bron - so sorry abt the relos.. hopefully she doesnt come back for a long long time! does she have anykids?
i hope you get the bc soon. we paid for it yesterday. it's not the old one we submitted. when it turns up (poopy might be a year old by then!) we can send it back and get our money. htats what they told us and lets hope so.
fantastic on his weight gain!! well done hun. you should stick your tongue out at your aunt and go nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah! sorry just kidding.
ania - no worries, oh the nurse yesterday asked if you hv had your homevisit yet. i think poopy will be a boob man too. lol, he smiles sometimes while he's on and then dribbles. and sometimes when im about to attach him, he has the cheekiest smile.
he's drooling too and blowing bubbles. not teething yet. at this stage they have a lot of saliva but dont knowhow to control it.
teach - i'll check them out!! thanks. ive that green one.. hehe cute bum.
yeah, i know ppl have all sorts of misconceptions. im just afraid he will grow up to be puny and i dont want him to get picked on. i was picked on in school and i have bad self-esteem issues till today.
ive just put him to sleep in a sleeping suit i got off ebay. i wanted to try it out instead of a wrap. it's white with pink lining and has pink butterflies! lol, he looks like a metrosexual baby.
catherine - good luck on bf, it's challenging isnt it.. all the theory seems easy but it actually isnt for some of us. i was planning to for a yr till i went back to work. but it's a challenge for me, so im doing it a week at a time. we're going to kuala lumpur next mth, and im already thinking how i should feed him on the plane. i know bf-ing will be more comforting and bottle will be more of a hassle. it will be uncomfy stuck in a plane for 8 hrs and then some at the airport.
shell - hope you got more sleep.
