Babies Born October 1st ~ 15th 2008

[SunnyRain]

Itsme: There's some consolation knowing we're not alone. I'll think of you tonight, knowing you're probably awake at the same time. That sounds just like my schedule.

Pinkpalace: Ugh, that sounds so tough.

According to that list there are only 7 bubs born between October 1st and 15th. It would be nice to combine the October baby threads, wouldn't it?

Hi all,

Belfie, SamiH and myself are in the Sept 16-30 and we are the only ones in it from our bellybuddy thread and there is only one other person besides that so its very lonely in there too. I'm sure that everyone jumps into each others threads for familiarity and I'd like to do the same in yours if its okay.

As for the sleep deprived new mothers out there, it does get better. You learn to cope with less hours sleep and your babies will start to feed more efficiently and sleep longer. The first 6-8 weeks of new babies lives is the toughest in my experience so just hang in there all zombie eyed. If you find yourself getting frustrated with bubs crying and nothing seems to work close the door and sit outside for a few minutes. You'll be amazed how much it changes the situation for you mentally and you will be more calm to deal again effectively.

Take care of yourselves and make sure you put those feet up every chance you can.

PinkPalace - I do try and burp DD during and after feeds. She doesn't seem to burp much though.. but does have a lot of wind coming out the other end along with all the poop! Not sure if there's much I can do about the wind down there. It seems to come out fine though!

kuraiza - Yes I must admit it is nice knowing that I am not the only one with a constantly pooping baby. Oh.. and I saw your comment on my bathing photo about bathing Maya properly... umm.. that's actually a picture of the mid-wife demonstrating how to bathe her. DH and I also struggle bathing Maya.. lots of squirming, legs and arms everywhere!

curl - It's good to see you in here.

Hi all,


I have finally made my way here. I hope everyone is doing well. I will try and catch up soon ladies. So how many of us are breastfeeding? How are you all going with it? Olivia has been sleeping abit today, not all that surprising considering yesterday all she wanted to do was be on the boob. hehehe. Expecting she will be up abit tonight tho.

Take care all. Enjoy those new bubbas. hugs
