We will be immunising as well. I have an appt at the GP on Friday morning for it. I thought it best to check that my other kids are up to date with whooping cough and I have discovered that my DS seems to have missed his 4 year old shots. So on Friday Miss P has her 8 weeks, DS will have his 4 year olds and I will get a whooping cough booster (haven't managed to get it yet!). What a miserable way to spend the morning, will have to do something nice afterwards. My DD never reacted at all to her immunisations, DS was a bit febrile and miserable for 24 hours or so after. Hope Miss P is like DD!
My goodness, all these beautiful big bubba's in here! Miss P was only 4.5kg at 7 weeks. She is being weighed again next week. My DD is very small for her age but she was born small (5pd 10oz at FT). Maybe Miss P was born bigger but will be little like her sister?
I bought some nursing singlets at Target which only cost $16 but they're not great quality. I tend to wear a stretchy spaghetti strap singlet under whatever normal top I like. I undo my BF bra and pop my boob over the top of the singlet (out the neck) the pull up the outer top. I feel pretty well covered and discreet. I also have some great V-neck dresses and I just pop my boob (my boobs seem to 'pop' a lot!!) out the neckline.
Feeding is going well here. We don't have a routine, Miss P just eats when she's hungry. She has a couple of comp feeds (maybe 3 or so?) a day, after BF if she is not satisfied. She refuses the FF overnight and just has one or two BF's. We are co-sleeping so overnight is pretty easy. I am still giving her Gaviscon for what I suspect is silent reflux and it has made a noticeable difference to how settled Miss P is during the day. Having said that, the only place she will sleep during the day is in her swing or on my chest and even then she doesn't sleep for more than 30 minutes. If I put her in her cot she SCREECHES. I have also tried her pram, my bed, the couch... you name it!! She loves a sling and I have several of them but I have back problems and I simply can't carry her all day long. Anyway, as long as she sleeps at night I can cope. Perhaps she will eventually learn to sleep during the day!
I hope you are all enjoying your beautiful babies!
