Hi girls
Thank you all so much for the lovely welcome back. Sorry i haven't been around much but i don't get too much online time these days with 2 gorgeous girls to look after and frequent Drs appointments.
Heather - life with a newborn is certainly a hell of a lot easier the second time around. Paul and i are just so relaxed about everything cause we just don't fret over every little sound, reaction, routine...like we did with Ella. Ella is loving being a big sister and is very cooperative. I'm sure Hendy is loving little Ivy the same way. I'm absolutely loving having a newborn in the house again!!!
Lis - i hope things go well with the LC. I take my hat off to you for persevering...you're doing a great job. You're prob already doing this but i have found that drinking a HEAP of water frequently throughout the day helps keep my supply up and regular.
Danni - sorry to hear that Mason has reflux. Ella had it quite severe when she was a few months old. Nothing seemed to work - not even her meds - so our early childhood nurse referred us to an osteopath and after several very gentle sessions (Ella slept through them - he pretty much just massaged her head, neck and back in certain places) she was totally cured and a completely different baby. I highly recommend looking into it.
Ash - you weak - ppffttt!!!!! Don't you dare be so hard on yourself sweetie - you're doing an awesome job with Blakey despite all the obstacles you've faced. By the way i lve his new ticker pic! I can see a lot of you in him.
Sarah - i hope that the Dr was correct with saying that Noah's foot will correct itself - how great will that be! Sorry to hear you had to travel so far for the appointment though.
Mel - how's Isobella going? We'll have to try and catch up soon.
Lulu - i also use Avent brand for my bottles for my EBM but have also used Chuchu teats with bith girls cause that's what was recommended by the NICU's the girls were in. It's a great teat cause it's the most similar to the action used by a baby when sucking a nipple. You can get them from most Chemists.
Jan - you're so right - places are certainly not pram friendly! It's sooooo frustrating. As for b/f in public i got fed up with trying to make my way to a parents room with a hungry child so i always carry a light muslin wrap which i drape over my shoulder then sit wherever i'm comfortable and feed. I'm fortunate that both my girls don't mind where they are fed...just as long as their food is provided!
Kelly - sorry to hear about the mastitis - you poor thing. I hope it clears up soon
Alex - how's Toby going? Is he all recovered now? I'd be interested in hearing your birth story since we were both hoping for VBACs and ended up with c/s. My birth story is in my preg journal if you're interested.
Hi Ange, Tan, Beck and Tara - has anyone heard from Lindy? I hope she and her little boy (i'm presuming she's had him by now) are happy and healthy.
And hello to everyone else - sorry i'm still struggling to remember everyone's names...will eventually catch up - lol.
