Woo hoo first again!
Thanks so much Nelly, I think you just wrote what we all think. mother guilt is incredible isnt it. So much of what you said rings true for me, after cold, virus, immunisations and reaction to cereal i got sick of trying to settle evie too, so i would just bf her to sleep then when i knew she wasnt hungry, i'd just put her in bed with me cos i knew she'd sleep. now we're in this f***ing cycle. Mind you, like i said i'm starting to think a lot of its because of looking after my nephew...and that has mother guilt plastered all over it. from the day evie was born i tried so hard to make sure she had that night/day difference down and she was perfect! i didnt mind getting up 3 times a night because i knew that after her 10min feed she'd be straight back to sleep. i'm so disappointed and annoyed that shes having so much trouble again. i really dont know how to break her out of it.
also, nephew is here today, sick so of course evie's getting even less attention. good thing i told sil to find another nanny
You said it Tara! I feel like i stuffed it up for the both of us too. Ah well at least we're trying to fix it now.
Nelly - Maybe you're right. She could be self weaning. Will see what happens at the 2.30 feed. I've been offering it to her a lot in an effort to get her weight back up. But I think she's had enough. My supply is great though
How many milk feeds is everyone else on? On a *normal day we're on about 4-5.
I gave evie some 'sticks' of avocado and banana today and she was so into it. she still pulled faces and had a bit of a cough but is starting to work out the whole 'swallow' thing. she kept looking at dh like 'see me! i'm so clever'. so i think i'll just do away with spoons for a while!
going to a job interview this afternoon and left a list for dh of putting evie to bed etc...it made me realise just how much we women do! theres always something on the go! of course we always make time for bb
Thanks i thought id put a pic of her in a towel as my mum takes photos your boy is cute he was born on the 29th Georgia was born on the 26th so there only a few days apart thats so cool
For the live chats there is a place on the toolbar up top, where it says articles, etc... you can click on there if you have java installed on your puter. Otherwise there is a thread at in one of the top threads that helps.
Even with all that... it took DH setting it up for me to be able to use it LMAO... I'm a technophobe.
