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 :lol: - 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??!! :p 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... :rolleyes:

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+ .. :D:D 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!
-
ok my decision has been made. I had a big talk last night with DP and this is what we are going to do. Im going to express 1-3 times a day so she can have 1-3 BM bottles a day. The rest will be formula and once or twice a week i will try and re attach her to the breast. We are going to take tit nice and slow and hopefully if my supply favours me i will be able to wean her gradually off the bottle and formula all together. I feel much more at peace with this decision coz she is still getting full feeds from my breastmilk. hope that makes sense.
-
didi - 8 weeks is fannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnntastic! u go girl! whats the weather in canada? freezing here even tho its summer in about a week! Are u ever coming back?:( im going to geelong area ( i think thats where ur from) in december..
woohooo happy one month bday to Mia!!! :D:D:D:D
-
Happy One Month Mia (sorry its late)
wow Hollye that went so fast - i was only thinking today that Bianca is one mth old in 2days! how fast does it go!!!!!!
and im glad u are finally happy with ur decision about breastfeeding and bottle feeding!
didi - you know going to Canada would be a dream come true for me - i have made DH promise to take me to Canada/Alaska for my 30th, and i sooooooo can't wait!
Good work on losing 20kgs! i have lost 11kgs since having Bianca (without even trying) - but it seems to have come to a stop now! i wanna be a Yummy Mummy, so my plan is to lose at least another 5kgs and i will be happy!
Does anyone else miss being pregnant? i really do and i never thought i would! i went into a baby shop yesterday and everywhere i looked was pregnant woman and it made me feel sad for some reason!
I think im also regretting my labour - i keep thinking about it and wishing that i hadn't had the epi and that i had of took the time too enjoy it more (easier said than done at the time tho i guess)
Gosh im still a bag of mixed emotions and hormones - when will it stop?
-
Hi everyone - quick one here, Im on stupid dial up and we pay for downloads etc so Im trying not to spend too much time on here!
We are great - James is doing super dooper well! He is such a big boy, so many people think he is older than 5 weeks because he is over 5kgs and so long! He is sleeping really well (sorry ladies) Im only up once a night which makes my days so much easier to cope with 2 of them and Izzy is pretty demanding herself right now. We had 2 kids parties this weekend, one 1st birthday and one naming day/blessing so we are pretty tired but it was nice to get out and about to show off our lttle guy.
Right Im off - MG tomorrow so that should be fun! Will post before and after pics once I have boradband back on the 1st of our kitchen that DH is reno'ing! :) Big hugs to you all and to your gorgeous bubs!!

Hi all, just a quick one had a rough night in the sleep department last night due to both Paige (wouldn't go to sleep till 1am and stirring through the night) and then Angus (waking for a feed at 1:30am and not resettling till 3am) so DH and I are resembling Zombies today and both of them are still resisting sleep today have finally managed to get them both of to sleep but don't know for how long????
hope everyone else is well, one more day until DH goes back to work....sob!!!!
love to all Allie xxxxx

hi all,
sorry havent been posting much, been having a few "issues" :rolleyes: nothing to do with Jacob, he is perfect and feeding/sleeping well, which im really happy about otherwise on top of everything else I would probably be a drooling mess on the floor.We have the cyh nurse coming out today, she should be here any minute, just getting in aquick feed beforeshe gets here.
hj- I never thought I would miss being preggers either, but I do, and I am still getting weepy about it.

sorry loves gotta go,

im lazy so im just gonna paste this from the other thread.
Doc appotointment today went well. Im now on the mini pill.. yay for me. lol. He had a look in her mouth and said that she could have thrush and to keep her on the drops but also to try and get my finger in there to clean it a little as it could just be milk residue. Tried that.. didnt seem to work. He said that it is very common for babies to get some sort of thrush in their mouth and nearly every baby gets it. So im to keep her on the drops and keep cleaning it, if it doesnt work or gets worse to bring her back and he will suggest something else.
Re the rash.. he also said this is ok and he isnt too worried about it but once again, if it gets worse to bring her back in. I forgot what he said it was but one way to fix it, i think he said steriods? He also said not to apply any creams to it. So is all good.
I have my 6 week checkup next wednesday, with my midwife i seen right through the pregnancy. Im glad its with her. Pap smear booked for the 15th december... ho hum :( and Mia's needles are pretty much organised for the 17th december.. poor little munchkin.
Had a BF today.. went pretty well, it was just to stop her screaming while her bottle cooled down. But seemed to do the trick and she attached pretty well. Still pulled off a couple of times but not too bad.
anyway, its been a loooooong day with her today so going to try and get some housework done so after her 8pm feed i can go straight to bed! im absalutly buggered. Oh bubbi please let mummy get just a little sleep tonight..

Hi Everyone,
I just thought I would say "hello". Olive is getting huge, I think having to give her the extra formula combined with breast milk hasn't helped (see BF thread), she is already 58cms and weighs 5kgs. People ask me if she's 4-5 mths and i'm like no she is 5weeks. I am also still a bit sad about not being pregnant, I had a great pregnancy with no sickness at all and it feels as though you've lost a part of yourself even though i've finally got my precious girl. Does anyone else have seriously bad baby brain? I can't believe how forgetful I have become! i'm booked in for my 6 wk check next week as well and will also talk to dr a bit more about immunisation. I had decided not to then now i'm not sure. Olive is just so perfect I don't want to give her something that could potentially do long term damage but also don't want her to get sick, it's really hard. I always wanted to be able to pick and choose what she would and wouldn't have but apparently thats really hard now as they are all just bunged in together. Am interested in everyone's opinion, both for and against.

Hi ladies, hope you don't mind if i join in here. Some of you will know that I had Meara a month early due to pre eclampsia so now am not in the November group lol. Miss Meara was born on the 26th October at 36+3 weeks.
Is there anyone here from the Newcastle area?? Seems to be lots from Vic but not many from where I am.
Yes Olive'smummy I have terrible baby brain lol. Can't remember anything and forget my other kids names even..... oops. I have to write everything down on the calendar so I don't forget. If it doesn't get written down then I might as well not have been told about it lol.
will check in regularly from now on (hopefully) and look forward to seeing what everyone else is going through

Bianca is a 1 month old today! my gosh has it gone fast! i hope now that she is a "big" girl she will sleep through tonight or only get up once - as im all alone tonight! and im freaking a little - i will have no one to hand her over to when her screaming gets too much!
Olive'smummy - your not the only one feeling sad about not being pregnant no more! i feel exactly the same!
also i have an extreme bad case of baby brain too!
-
hey girls!
was an ok night and morning. Been quite a difficult arvo, but hay, take the good with the bad. Still Bfing here, usually for one full feed a day. the rest is formula. I think its time to bump up the amount to 150mls too as 100mls doesnt seem to be sustaining her for very long. I think about 120mls will do her but its just not possible to do that so we will be wasting abit for a while.
HJ - i dont know if i could handle a night all alone, tho DP doesnt help me at all during the night so i guess it wouldnt be any different. If anything i guess i would like having the bed to myself as Mia doesnt take up that much room :)
KimB - howdy fellow pre elampsian (is that even a word?). Love the name btw :)
re needles - im totoally for them. As far as i see it there is a reason they are given and if she fell ill with something i didnt immunise against i would feel awful. Im going to go get some baby panadol before then just incase she screams when she gets home coz it hurts. Better to be prepared i say.
