Nic - I went for a little drive today... up to Maccas for breakie in my PJs lol! Has been over 4-weeks and I feel fine to drive. Still being careful about the lifting, but otherwise think I'm pretty much ok now to do most things. Will wait until the 6-week mark to start exercising tho! That is anything besides a short gentle walk.
Urusla - thanks heaps, that's really helpful! We are using S26 Gold, same as you continuing on from what she had in hossy, the m/w told me to be careful switching around as it can give them an upset tummy. Kaylee does look/sound like she is straining to poo sometimes, but her poos are a lot softer than what you described, and they are moist, not dry. I have been adding a lil bit more water when I mix up the bottles, like you I mix up a bigger bottle, then poor out a smaller amount to feed = usually around 120ml, although she drinks a different amount each feed, can be anywhere from 100-200ml per feed... Will definitely try the boiled water at night. Sometimes the dummy just does the trick, which apparently also helps their digestion.
Catherine - glad b/f is going well for you = lucky girl!
Ange - are you b/f?? Apparently b/f babies poos are usually very runny, it's only f/f babies that can sometimes get constipated and generally their poos are a lot firmer. LOL re talking about chocolate brownies straight after poos!
Leah - see above comment to Ange re runny poos
We had our first big outing today, a family luncheon at mums... we're all exhausted now. And Kaylee has finally crashed and will hopefully get some sleep, because she didn't get much today and was rather grizzly when we got home, me thinks from over tiredness!
