Babies Born May 16th - 31st 2008

Good morning all

Well my boobs are still burning and throbbing, so I am going to visit a lactation consultant, as I am seriously considering other options as bub is feeding so often during the day my nipples are not coping so well Does everyone else's bubs feed often during the day?? Zali feeds every 1hr-1 1/2hrs during the day and my poor nipples are just getting so sore she feeds for at least 20-30mins each feed too. She only feeds every 3-4hrs during the night. I am concerned she is not getting enough nourishment out of the milk to last the day?? I will also check this out with the lactation consultant but wanted to hear what your little munchkins are up to.

I am using a dummy now to try and get her to last longer between feeds but she keeps spitting the silly thing out I am quickly getting frustrated by having to keep putting it back in every 2-3mins.

Deancey I know what you mean about routine, we had 2 serious days of visitors and then also went over to DH Nans for Dinner and Zali was just so unsettled all night it was horrible. She was not getting much sleep during the day so I think she was over tired.

I hope everyone else is having a great day.

Will talk again soon.

Hi ladies

Welcome to all the newbies and congratulations on your bundles of joy!

good to hear everyone is going well.

Abbie is still sleeping like a trooper! But i am soooooooo sick of people visiting. My sil thinkgs that its ok to come over every day when DH is at work. Its not ok and i am sick of it, so i have decided that i am going to tell her that i just need time to my self. I enjoy being by my self and with the kids not having to entertain another child and her. I am so over it. Sorry about the whinge. had to get it out.

Sorry no personals the boys are wrestling and i need to go and be the referee!!!!

well it has taken me 3 weeks to get into this thread lol.
We have moved, had bubs, set up my business again in a new location all within the last 3 weeks.
i will catch up wit personals from here i dont have the time to go back.

how is everyone going of a night time? jayda sleeps for 5hrs then every 2 hrs after that. but that is from like 930 so that gets us through most of the night.
she started off in a snuggle bed thing in bed with us while we were moving, then she went to the bassinet beside our bed. i am tryin to get her to the cot but i am scared lol.
Her room is so much colder then ours and i feel like i wont hear her even though i have the monitor, and she will be all alone in the big room lol.
I swear mums r bigger sooks then babie most of the time lol.

Blah, just did a huge reply & madame did a projectile vomit, I hit the wrong thing & lost it

Sounds like everyone is doing well. Juliette is still sleeping pretty well 5-6 hours overnight then every 2 or so hours there after. Not sure if she's back to her birth weight yet, but we're getting her weighed this week. My scar has finally healed up, still getting twinges in the muscles around it, but that's to be expected.

Hi all - just thought i'd pop in- havent had a chance to update anything just yet or read about all of your beautiful babies. Have so much to catch up on... Just FYI- i'm sure sass filled you all in though...

My baby girl Tiahna Imogen was born on May 29th 7lbs 3oz 51.5cm long and H/C was 33. All is well she's been great- sleeps feeds- sleeps poops, sleeps... hoping she stays this good- although i think she's comming down sick- has a blocked nose... ARGH hope not yet... she's so little... be back later to catch up on personals

and also to post pics of course

HI Ladies

havent been online as internet wasnt working but we are up and running now, thank god. I was having withdrawels LOL
Liam has been a darling. He is still sleeping really well and he is also self settling which is good. I am determined not to get into habit of rocking him to sleep like I did with Jordan, it was hard to break.
I had GFs from BB over today with their kids, we had 8 kids total and it was fun but chaos. Jordan had a good time with his friends and Liam enjoyed being doted over......
Just before I was putting Jordan to bed Liam starting screaming so I picked him up to change his nappy as it was dirty and he projectile vomited all over me. I still smell of BM spew, so not nice. He is sleeping now as is Jordan so I was able to get dishes done and one of my GF vacuumed for me as I am not meant to still.

Jess glad you could join us and so good to see Tiahna is a good sleeper and eater.
Sarah I am glad to see your scar has healed. I still get some twinges too ( mostly after I do something I am not meant to ) Juliette is an awesome sleeper to go 5-6 hrs overnight, what a gem
Sassy you also seem to have a good sleeper on your hands, well done. Its true the move from basinette to cot is prob more traumatic for mum than bubs......we are sooks, we dont want them to grow up
LMK I know what you mean about visitors.....It is easier to just be alone some times, especially when you want to settle everyone in. Will she be upset if you tell her not to come over? I had my parents stop in the other day and I so wasnt up for it, I just wanted to chill on my own and not host them.
hannahfrodoo well done on your outing but WOW at the length of time in parents room.... I can imagine all the looks you would get with twins and toddler. People are facinated with prams and always want to look in.

sorry to those I have missed take care
