Hollye im sooo tired (already) and B is just really sooky and miserable - she isnt handling it well at all! she is hardly eating (drinking), and still hasnt slept its going to be another loooooong night!
On the brighter side of things tho - B had her 4mth check up today and her stats are:
Weight - 6.8kgs...... was when born 3.3kgs
Length - 63cm........ was when born 48cm
Head - 41.5cm........ was when born 33cm
So all is well - the nurse said she was also very strong, alert and active for her age?!
so i guess all the tummy time, playing, singing, painting, teaching how to crawl (hahahah) etc is paying off!
Hollye I forgot to answer you about the exercises, whenever I pick him up I have to roll him onto his left side and raise him up that way so that he straightens his head, I also have to hold him on my left arm with his head resting on my forearm and straighten his head and gently hold his shoulder down.
HJ I hope that little Miss B gets better soon. She's doing so well.
I thought that I would put up Julian's stats:
Weight 6.8kgs ........ 3.5kgs birth
Lenght 62cm .......... 50cm birth
Head Circ 41cm ....... 33cm birth
I think that I've got mastitis again in my left breast or at least a blocked duct, it's soo sore, has been since Monday. I think because of his torticollis he doesn't feed as effiently from that side.
Amanda - I had mastitis last week and it is sooo painful. Feeding is the best thing for it but hurts like hell. If it's not better by tomorrow I would be going to the doctor's as they say that if you can't unblock the duct within 12hrs then you need AB, especially if the blockage is red, hard and hot. Hope it clears up by itself for you.
hj - Hope B is better soon, that sounds awful, poor little darling. Do you give her water as well as formula?
Just got Olive to sleep after 3hrs of trying. I think she's a bit unsettled cause of the formula and was soo overtired. The trouble is that I will have to wake her and give her another feed otherwise ahe will be awake in the middle of the night. She is supposed to have 250mls for her age but only drank about 80-100 each feed but I suppose it will take some getting used to and must be more filling then bm. She did feed more frequently though and she lets me know when she is hungry. She also only usually drinks 120-140mls of bm as well.
HJ - Hope B is feeling better nothing worse when you've got a sick little bubba and you wana do all you can to make them better. She's growing nicely though. I can't wait to get Lara weighed next week. Hasnt been done since her 2month needles.
OM - Hope Olive gets used to the formula soon. What formula do you have her on? Lara is meant to be on 200mls for each feed and 5 bottles a day. She has the 5 bottles but only 200mls for her first morning and last nightly feed, all the rest are 150mls. She just can't handle 200mls all day long. I am sure Olive will let you know if she is hungry.
Hollye - I know you got Mia christened a few weeks ago. We haven't got DD1 or Lara christened but are thinking we would like to both get them done. What do we have to do, just contact the church we wish to have them done at and go from there?
Amanda - I hope the mastitis clears up soon for you. Julian's weights etc are great as well.
Nothing much to report from me. Lara is 4 months old today. I can't believe my little bubba is 4 months old already. My god time flies.
