Mia is now on 95% formula, just until i finsh weaning her off my breast as my breasts are having abit of a culture shock and i need to tell them not to produce anymore milk and to do that i need to slow things down gradually. Anyhoo my story is in the breastfeeding bit on here. I have an appointment to go on the pill on monday.. ahhh good ol contraception.. speaking of sex.. what is that? somethin u eat?
Moving on... today has been the BEST day ever since she came home. She is much happier and its only the first full formula day! Its such a sigh of relief. i love being a mummy!
hj - that really sucks about the reflux. Hopefully that stuff works.. i have heard of it but dont know anyone that has used it. I have heard reflux can be very painful for a baby so fingers crossed it gives her some relief. so glad u went to the doctors! big hugs!!
yeh Mia's doing the "oh look mummy, i can roll this way and that way..." hrmm makes changing a nappy very interesting!!!! tho she rolls to her right more. I have to encourage her to roll to her right too. so she can go from back to tummy but not tummy to back. tho she gets her knees up already.. i think i might have an early crawler on my hands.
anyhoo.. gonna go change my milk drenched top.. lol..
Oi - Good old Collingwood forever they know how to play the game!!!!
Collingwood is my team! they dont suck - and here i was thinking u were a pretty good person with good taste etc...... hahahaha
It is a big relief going on formula isnt it Hollye? what formula have u got Princess Mia on?
I was put on the pill too dry up my milk also - but cause i was still bleeding from giving birth it gave me massive clots - so OB told me too stop them - was only on them for 3days and than stopped - i think my milk is pretty much gone which is a bit sad - only get a few drops if i squeeze them!
and yeah im not sure what sex is either! hahaha - not sure if i want too know tho!
Wow! Liam's not even making any moves to roll over. I don't think he even knows he can do it. He loves to crawl tho - DH holds him just above the bed (paralel to it) so his feet reach and he instinctively kicks and moves himself along. He loves it. And he's fast!
HJ - that will be great if the Gaviscon helps her. It must be a relief to have an answer too! I've heard really good feedback about the hammocks for bubs with reflux. I haven't heard of any big issues getting them to a cot afterwards. I was looking into them before DS was born. Actually, I got one, but it was SO WRONG when we tried him in it not long after he came home. I've been thinking lately I'll pull it out and try it again, it might be better now he's bigger.
Hollye - What's bringing you up this way? That will be great! You know I just moved here a few years ago from Shepparton - are you stalking me??!! What sort of work is your DP after?
I'm still weighing up the BF vs Bottle thing. I just feel like such a cheat. I still have plenty of milk, but is it worth it? At the moment I feel like he just puts up with it until he gets to the bottle which is what he really wants. Anyway, I'll be calling the ABA today.
Oh, and um, sex is something that's interupted...just like everything else...
1stbub27 - ive lived here for 17 years and im just "over it". I need a change and yes ofcourse im stalking u silly! We decided now bubs here that we need to get out and start seeing abit before she starts school. How could u leave all sheps beautiful plastic cows behind? oh man they are pathetic. DP works in the tyre industry. So Dunlop.. Beaurepairs.. Tyrepower alll that sorta stuff.
Anyway, Im great, Mia's great.. She fed at 8pm lastnight and slept till 1am and then slept till 6am and just had another feed at 9:45am. Loving it! shes so much happier now!! Im expressing a little still coz my bb's have been getting a few blockd ducts which are hell painful. Going to have a nnice warm shower soon and try and give them a bit of a massage to try and fix them. I just wish it would dry up already.
OH hj - Mia is on KARICARE GOLD+ .. Oh my Bianca is gorgeous!
Hollye - Thanks Hollye - and my gosh have u got a angel on ur hands, how well does she sleep! whats ur secret?
1stBub27 - it is a relief to have an answer - and my fingers and toes are crossed that the gaviscon works! i was even thinking of bitting the bullet and putting Bianca too sleep of a night time on her belly in her cot - i know they say not too do it - but today she slept for 4hrs on her belly - so maybe that is another option!
How did u go with the ABA? did they help u at all decide on what too do?
my secret is.. gene's.. lol.. i was a great baby and so was DP thats all i can think of.
This not BFing thing is really getting to me.. im still expressing coz my supple has gone huge and im in so much pain from it. I want to BF so bad Im really at a loss.. its always on my mind.. i cry about Bfing and i cry about not Bfing. Also i think she has thrush in her mouth.. she has little white lump on the inside of her mouth.. is this thrush? what can i do it fix it? is it hurting her?
Hello everyone!!!.. well.. I am going to the bottle.. I cant do anymore to feed her when I have well NO milk.. due to stress etc.. I have gone to lactation lady here in Canada and said i cant do anythign when stressed... and to reduce stress is impossible.. with my parents hosue etc..
I feel ok with this decision as i have given her 8 weeks of all i can do!
how is everyone else doing??/ I have lost 20kg.. so happy happy!
which is a bit sad - only get a few drops if i squeeze them!
