Jess i had hamish the same day as you had Tiahna and i am still bleeding also but only very very lightly so i presume it will finish for me in the next day or so (tmi). I cannot remember how long it lasted the last time for me either.

Hi Just wondering if I can join in? My little girl Kate Elizabeth was born two weeks early on the 20/05.
She is doing really well and feeds a little too good! (she put on over 500g last week!)
Night time is not too bad as she normally goes at least 4 hours but has done 6.
Last night however she had wind so was up from 2 til 5 so am quite tied today and no chance to rest as I have a ds who is 2 and a half!
Anyway I look forward to getting to know everyone and share ideas on our little bubs!
cheers

Hi Ladies
Welcome to the newbies, this thread is really starting to liven up now and it is getting hard to keep track of personals.... I will do my best.
Jess - I had a girl named Zali Anne, weighed 8lb 13oz or 4009grms, 54cm long and HC 37cm. Had Caesarean as she was breech, born on the 16th of May at 3:16pm. Great baby, sleeps well and only crys for short time when she is hungry or has wind.
Jess it is really cute when they make little goo goo ga ga noises hey! I just love it when Zali is awake and tells me stories with her face expresions and noises she makes.... so so cute.
Abb34 Happy birthday for yesterday!! I hope you had a wonderful day. It is my birthday tomorrow so you must be a Gemini too! Good people we are!
NaNa you and I have a similar routine where we have bubs in bed with us till bout 10ish, so I know what you mean about the do your hair, get dressed before lunch thing, but hey who cares.... don't have anything else I would rather do. Snuggling with bub is my fav part of the day. I lay on my back and she sleeps on her tummy with her head on my boobs like a pillow.
Princepessa - Zali used to want to play for 2 hours from 3-5am in the first 2 weeks, I started just picking her up but not talking to her, and just snuggled her till she fell back asleep, this way she knew it was not play time, she now sleeps through with no issues, worth a try if you want to break that habit.
Lis - Zali sometimes goes through an afternoon unsettled period where I cannot put her down, she seems to scream for no reason, so I take her for a walk around the house to distract her from the screaming fit which seems to work. Also I sit her up in the corner of the couch which she loves and also seems to calm her down.
My bleeding is still there every now and then, just spotting but so annoying (sorry TMI) is anyone else still having this issue, it has now been 5 weeks!!! I am going for my 6 week check up on the 2nd of July so hopefully all stopped by then!
I still have thrush in my nipples despite using Daktarin on them twice a day and using Canesten wash for our clothes to avoid reinfection. I have started giving Zali Nilstat drops to fix her mouth thrush however EVERY time I give it to her she vomits, so I have stopped. Has anyone else used Nilstat and did you have this issue?? Her poo was also mostly yellow but had some GREEN in it??? Not sure what is going on there.
Still not DTD as too scared to try! So painful the 2 times I have tried, will wait for the 6 week check up and go from there.
Sorry if I missed anyone, will try to catch up next time.
Cheers Mecil

Morning all-
Mecil - jut added your details to the list- cant believe i missed you... Sorry...
Also as you said the cute little noises bubs makes are just adorable. I could listen to her all day... so different from my son who just used to grunt all the time...
Also i wish i could have a sleep til 10ish with bubs next to me... DS is always up anywhere from 6-7.30 at the latest.
Well DP was back at work this morning. Unfortunatley Tiahna must have known her daddy needed his sleep and decided she's cry for 2 hours while i tried everything to settle her down. I gave her drops for the colic- she appeared to be in pain- this made her scream more (so much for pleasant taste babies will love) she drank me dry so i tried to offer her a bottle- didnt want a bar to is... spatt it out and everywhere.
Tried a dummy- all 10 that i have brought but she doesnt like any of them.... Tried rocking her, patting her- little bouncing. I tried music, rubbing her tummy, was told when there colicy to slowly lift their legs and do like a little bike riding excercise thing- didnt work... In the end she wore herself out i think. i wrapped her up tight and just held her close gave her the boob- although super sore from her sucking like crazy and nothing comming out but it was enough to settle her down after the 2 hours...
Cant wait for my breast pump to get here so i can try to express milk throughout the day to increase my supply hopefully- i'd hate for that to happen again- she just doesnt like the formula milk every time i have tried. Maybe if i have to supp feed later i'll have to try a different formula??? but hoping i can breast feed as long as possible... I brought a double pump off ebay- cherub brand??? not sure if there anygood got it for $87. which seemed cheap compared to single electric ones at the shops??? Would love to give BM or EBM as long as my body can make it.
Also- kinda of a YUK topic but how many poo's do your babies do??? Tiahna is lucky if she does one every 2-3 days...went 4 days before the last one which was thursday morning. She has plenty of wet nappies and the last week or so my milk has been squirting out at her face when she spits it out (probably comming ouit too fast) so i know she's getting some milk i hear her gulping it down

Hey Ladies
Sorry i have been mia for a week or so. I did come in one day last week but the server kept going down and lost my post and i did not have enough time to retype it again.
Been so busy birthday parties after birthday parties here at the moment and another one next week.
Welcome to all the newbies and the oldies returning from the due date club.
Jess you missed me on your list Abbie was born on the 17th of may 7 p 7 oz natural birth 54cm long Is a great sleeper and boobie feeding like there is no tomorrow.
Abbie has been a bit unsettled at the moment but i think that her appetite is increasing and she is just waiting for my milk to increase as well. Is anyone else finding this at the moment?
Hope everyone is doing well and i will be back next week some more.

Hi all-
Nikki- so sorry i missed little Abbie on the list... Have added it now... ite unsettled last night and today also... think she's getting more hungry and my supply just isnt keeping up at the moment.
So cold and windy this arfternoon. Bathed Tiahna this morning as it was looking like a nice warmish day. Ahe has developed what appear to be neonatal acne... Poor thing is covered in pimples all over her face and head... It looks horrible but i know it will disappear within the next few weeks...
Tried to do some cleaning up as it was my first day all alone with the kids... Had to use the carrier as Tiahna is so unsettled she wont sleep and just wants cuddles... Did the vacuming and most of the washing thankfully

HI guys
well yesterday we had my brothers wedding and the boys did so well. I fed Liam at 1before we left and he slept in the car on the way there and then had a bit of awake time before the ceremony. We then went home where I fed him again and then he slept again. We took him asleep to the reception and he fed whilst we were there and he fell straight back asleep. He then went 6 hrs in between feeds, I was so excited.
Today he has been very good. We went out looking at cubby houses for the boys and he slept in the baby bjorn. We then went to nannas and he fed and slept there also.
He resettled tonight in his cradle really easily. He is getting better at self settling which is good news.
I hope all bubs have a good night tonight. Sorry this is short but hubby wants the laptop so gotta make it short
take care
