PP - Mia does about 60-80 mls each feed (but throws most of it back up) for her weight (5.72) shes meant to be having 143 mls (5 bottles) or 173ml (6 bottles).
Mia had her MCHN 3 month check today. She has only put on 20 grams in a week so the MCHN wants to see her again tomorrow. Mothers group tomorrow again yay! and bishop is coming here at 4pm to talk to me about Mia's baptism.
teru - i could put him on if i had expressed enough first so he doesnt get the let down
Hollye - woohoo for the bishop! we have decided to wait until winter to get ethan done, it is just oo hot atm
HOw is mias development hollye - is she meeting milestones? Its hard because ashley was the same with weight gain as you know. (not as little as 20gm but i weighed her monthly as it was doing my head in and watched her development instead).
Hopefully after a few doses of losec she will pick up in the feeding.
Oh i found a good article for you too.. will send the link to your msn re: formulas.
pp -yeh we are doing the christing in a couple weeks coz we want to move so we want to make sure we do it here before we go. Now i have a new car, we are saving to move. Its great, we are putting away about 100-150 bucks a week. Which is good. Thanks for the article, its very interesting. Yep Mia is quite advanced in her mental development. The MCHN said she is already doing some stuff she expects to see in a 4-5 month old. So that easers my mind abit. More than likley shes just gonna be a little kid. She is getting longer, a good 1-2 cm a week and her head is growing (40cm atm). so shes doing good in every other aspect.
Tanya - i am with sami. As i have another.. i often let the 2 play together. E thinks A is just fab lol!!
Otherwise when we get 1 on 1 time, we will play tickles or peek a boo and he loves to be sung to and it doesnt matter what i sing! lol
More than anything he just loved eye contact.
But i hear you on feeling isolated. I am having issues now that with 2 it is even harder. Since we moved to brisbane in march last year, fitting into a mothers group is hard. all my friends are single and my family arent close to me here. I keep trying to meet new people though.
Well Expressing no... i didnt before this mornings feed. He did a huge poo at 2am, and then took a few hours to settle so i threw him on at 4am.. he did fine.
Did have a spew today though, but i fed him laying down.. so there you go.
I almost just went screw this and got the formula out, then my conscious got the better of me and i kept with the boob
Ethan only took 50ml... mmm so not sure what that means. will try tonight a little more
(ashley drinks the left overs so nothing is wasted hehehe).
Cathie - i have no idea what hubby and me time is.. i am actually going to see if my parents can babysit and we pop out to see marley and me on monday or tuesday.....
teru - That's great that you can take Dragon to the cinema. I don't think I'd be able to do it with Maya. She doesn't like being in the dark, unless she's asleep, and she is hard to settle to sleep. I'm thinking of trying one of the mums and bubs sessions, though I know what you mean about other bubs being there and crying. But it's the only way I'd be able to go see a movie.
PP - If Maya does a long sleep, I express a little from each bb before putting her on - otherwise it's too painful for me and she chokes on the let down. That seems to be working for me.
belfie - Wow.. a bit of patting and straight to sleep. That's great for you. I wish I could do that. I still have to rock her to sleep. Sometimes she does wake when I put her down and I can pat her and she'll fall asleep straight away. Which I'm happy with because earlier on I had to pick her back up and start rocking again!
Maya's awake so gotta go. Hi to everyone I missed!
