Kat - you really have been through a lot, I can't imagine how you feel. I hope you and your boy are feeling better by the day.
Hubba - thanks for all the advice. Great to hear you're managing well with that age gap, as Hubby and I always said we'd have about 3 years between our children if we have more. With Damian, the funny thing I'd that it is not happening with every feed, just a couple of times a day where he looks really unsettled and in pain (it's distressing as it can last hours at a time). So we went to a paeditrician yesterday and they think it's wind and gas causing the issue as I tend to let him snack too much so they've told me to space out my feeding more to make him more hungry. So far nothings really changed so I'm not sureI have dine what you have said and baby really seems to love being upright when he is distressed so that helps a bit. It's horrible seeing your baby cry and not know how to help! (and yes I am breastfeeding). It's good to hear your bub is doing well now. Are you going to stay with formula feeding? And yes I'm a sucka I agree you can't spoil a baby
cuddles it is for me too! Lol
Hope everyone's going well with your little babys, would love to hear how you're all coping! And Ella hope all is well with you, you're in my thoughts.

Hello ladies
Isabelle is mostly doing well..she is no longer our orange baby and is getting a nice pink look instead
I am doing a combined breast feeding and formula at the moment and also expressing. I am only giving her about 45ml to 50ml of formula each feed though to encourage breast feeding.
We get the I am in pain or have bad wind cries at night between 1am and 4am and the only thing that settles her is laying on my belly whilst I sit on the lounge..not so good for me though. Today she is burping much better though so perhaps that will see an improvement.
She has not had a bowel movement since last Thursday which is starting to get concerning.
Hope every has a good day with their babies..Hopefully Ella will join us soon.

Girls.
Our beautiful baby was born at 11:47am this morning. Guess what... ITS A BOY!!! We had no names prepared so I'm on the hunt right now for a gorgeous name to suit our gorgeous boy.
I'll be back a little later to fill you all in on the details.

How silly am I, I only just noticed we have a babies born thread.
Kat, sounds like your little boy is a strong little guy even after srriving so early. Congratulations.
Danni. Amelia had silent reflux from the day she was born. She would vomit everyfeed but never cry in pain. It took 7weeks for her to get back to her birth weight. This continued until she was 8 months. Like Hubba said, the vomit gets very annoying but I got so us to it happening. We found Zantac worked the best for her. Also like hubba said, a raised matress was the best for her too.
If Damien has wind then the best thing I find is after bubs has been burped, lay him down and bend their legs up to their belly a few times. Then try burping them again. Macey seems to hold her burps in for ages and this has worked for me. Also I let her lay on her side alot, but only ever when I am with her. I will not leave her alone like that. I think been on their side helps them move the wind out. I also use Infants Friend, Amelia had it and Macey has had it a few times and it works great.
Heidi. Macey is a one or two poo a week baby which is completely normal. Some babies (like Amelia) will poo after every feed, some 1-2 times a day, 1 time a day or even once a week. Breastmilk is like a natural laxative and that is why their poos are so runny.
Eng, I hope peter settles at night for you soon. How have you been with you PND, have you been seeing your dr still? What about your hormones and nose bleeds. Have they cleared up?
Ella, Congrats again, I posted in the belly buddies thread before I realised this thread was here. Still can not believe 2 girls turned out to be boys in our group.
Hubba, 6 weeks already, time is flying but I am glad you want to stick with us.
AFM, things are going great. Macey is a little gem. She does not cry. She loves been were the noise is. If I put her down during the day in the bassinet she wakes up straight away. So she spends the day in the lounge room and nights in the bassinet. She does not like been wrapped tightly either, she likes to wriggly her arms out and kick her legs until the blanket is off them so I am glad the weather is warming up for her not to be wrapped. I am in absolute love with my girls. Amelia is so great with her, except for the occasional heavy handed touch. I sure am one lucky mummy.

Hey girls! Thought I'd pop in, ever-so-late, to say hi, but you're only up to page 2?! Having babes is a little more taxing than sitting about complaining about being preggo, isn't it?!
Spencer James was born on the 7th after an hour at the hospital - intense but FAST, & my last baby thank goodness!
Have to admit I am struggling to do anything right now except feed, hold & change Spence, the house & poor Punk are horribly neglected, but HE WILL NOT sleep alone, no way, no how, nor will he sleep in a sling or the infant insert in the ergo... Will nap in the baby bjorn but I don't really like it. *sigh*
Anybody else having sleep issues?!
Speaking of issues, he's whinging in my arms right now....
