Amber how organised are u with the SS present! i hope to get to the shops this week sometime.
anyway did the grocery shop thismorning, went pretty well! until coming home, Tyron carried on in the car while Nix fell asleep. Put him straight to bed but Ty just kept going. it had only been 2.5hrs since his feed so thought i had timed it well.
i had to let him scream while i got the grocery's out of the car and atleast shove the cold stuff in the fridge.from that it then took 2.5hrs of stop starting to pack everything away.....what a big eventure taken all day to do the dam shopping lol!
the last few nights Tyron has spent more of his sleep time with us, i get sick of getting up and down up and down up and down and then give in. Thismorning though after a feed at 2.45am, back down about 4am and slept till 9.15 in his bassinett.
Louise- dont feel bad or silly re the premminess of your bubs. Nixon was 7wks early which is nothing to compared to some others. but having a prem no matter what stage is such a different experience to a full term bub. You have to deal with a whole different set of emotions, and even when bub comes home it continues. You did great to carry your babies so far but at the same time finding a good support network with other people who have been through similar instances i found really helps.
dummy- i was one of those mums that thought i would never give my baby a dummy. but honestly it aint that bad! Nixon still has a dummy but cut it down to JUST bed time. if there is one around the house he'll find it and shove it in so i make sure they are put away and only give him one when i put him to bed.
its personal choice but like Trish i would prefer a dummy baby then a thumb sucker cause u cant take their thumb away!
Catherine- im a little the same as Trish with the bf for comfort, having a toddler to deal with aswell just doesnt make it feasable for me to have Tyron on the boob all the time. I need to juggle my mum time between both boys and well up until Friday of last week tyron wouldnt even take the boob so it wasnt an option! But again its personal choice and i think what ever works for you and bub is all that matters.
