Morning - I had sleep last night for 5 hours straight I feel like a new woman!!!!
Nic - can't help with nappy Q, we using Huggies newborn, but I remember it happening with James back then and I used snugglers and made sure his doodle always pointed down so he couldn't wee upwards. But I don't think snugglers are that good anymore.
Sarah - woot on the weight gain for Elijah....
Welcome Dragonbub - how's the BP going. I had PE with both pregnancies (both bubs early too), bubs is a good size and don't worry abt feeling blue it's all part of the baby deal...
Ange - no probs with the drinks. I might try sending food soon LOL!!! How's your BP - do you have any swelling left, spots in eyes or dizzyness??? I found by week 4 last time was when my body started to go back to normal and leave the high BP symptoms behind.....I'm sure Luella will giving you a beaming toothless grin real soon....
Peta - rest, rest, rest......thank god for the sling in helping our bubs settle.....Maddison spent the majority of Wed in her baby bjorn cos she just wouldn't sleep....How's Kaylee????
Amber - checked out Myles professional photos and all of them are gorgeous, I esp. love the one where Myles and Daddy are looking at each other....
Leah - Yay for Amara leaving the party night life behind, atleast for the next 18 years we hope....nice info abt the Happy Baby dummy as well didn't know that....actually had nurse say yesterday that those dummies are v. popular
Mo - Maddi in the papers already - congrats. Seems both our girls are claiming fame - while Maddison was in hospital they asked if they could bath her and take photos which are being used in their "How to bath a baby phamplet"
Hi to all other mummies!!!!!
Had my clinic nurse visit yesterday - Maddison has put on another 310g she now weighs 3460g and her head circ is 35.5cm. Had a good discussion abt her magic evening hours and poos - she is constipated (which i suspected) so am adding extra 10mls of boiled water to her milk to help soften them. Also discussed that she maybe suffering from silent reflux cos she gags and coughs alot when burping so raising her mattress by 45 degrees and keeping her upright for 15mins after feeds are our first tactic to use. Resolving the constipation is most important and might even help with the reflux. Nurse also suggested offering Maddison 10-30mls of cooled boiled water late at night to help with settling - tried it last night and she drank the water no probs and did the loudest burp ever afterwards and I think that's why she slept for such a long time.
Anyway seems I've written a novel with one hand......Hope we all have a good day with our new bubbies and toddlers or older children...
