Ashton's little santa suit was ADORABLE!! He looked so cute!!

we had a great Christmas, she had lots of short naps which was good as she was getting very tired out from everyone wanting to hold her.

i got a hot milk bra from my sister - yay! she's got good taste my mum also bought me some new swimmers as i'm taking liberty to swimming lessons in a few weeks time. my mum bought me a present from liberty too - some natio stuff as well as other bits and pieces that i was given this year. hope you guys all got spoilt too!

Glad to hear that everyone's bubby's first Christmas went well and that most of you were able to spend it with family and friends - and yummy food too!!

Hey girls, glad everyone had a great Chrissy! Both the girls got terribly spoilt. Ashlyn had a good time with lots of people to admire her, but she is really teething poor thing. I didn't have any teething relief at my parents place so I ended having to rub her gums with ice. Did the trick though.

Will try to bbl for more

Hi ladies I've just been reading about the facebook breastfeeding protest on BB.
Apparently they have been removing photos of breastfeeding under the guise its "obscene" all the while I joined the protest group even tho I'm an expresser. I'd be BFing if I could. Mel I added you as a friend.

Here is the page sorry I don't know how to link to the page properly https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...obscene-3.html.

Good morning everyone

Well, not so good morning here. I'm sitting here after another night of broken sleep wondering how everyone else is coping? Am I the only not getting a decent sleep? Last night Ashlyn woke up at 10pm, 1am, 4am and then 5.30am. After that I gave up, she went back to sleep but I decided to do some housework instead - less frustrating. I know she can sleep longer because she has gone a couple of nights only waking once, but she seems to need everything to be just right to sleep, ie tummy full, nappy clean, not to hot/cold etc.... It can still take an hour to settle her at night.

Sorry for the ramble, just feeling a bit down after listening to people at Christmas talking about friends babies who sleep through from very young, girls that lost weight and look fantastic after having babies, all the things I don't want to hear when I'm exhausted and feeling fat

Oh Captain that's rough. I feel for you hun. I don't think you are alone. We have been extremely lucky with Emily and I don't take any of the credit for it I think its just her. So don't feel its anything you can do, you are doing everything in your control you can to make the conditions right for her to sleep, the rest is up to her. I'm not really sure what else you can do, so I'll just offer more hugs and sleep vibes.
Saying that we didn't have a great night last night either, She was awake from 2-3.30 and i'm not really sure why. All I can put it down to is that we did use a different wrap that she could get her arms out of and I think it made a big difference. She has nearly grown out of her miracle wrap which keeps her more secure. Tho she sleeps during the day with her arms out. DH just slept through all her noises which really frustrated me.
I think she is getting to big to wrap at all but now i'm worried she won't sleep as well as she has been without wrapping. She still startles herself awake.
Does anyone use grobags? I have one but haven't tried it yet.

just quickly cos i saw your post captain and i know how you feel but before i finished work i had twins in my care at child care and one was a perfect sleeper, ate well, never cried and the other was the complete opposite - woke every hour, ate sporadically and cried all the time so it's not the parent (or the womb haha)!!

liberty slept better at 6 weeks than what she does atm, in saying that 4 months and 8 months are the worst times supposedly for sleeping habits?? i'm getting woken up a fair bit atm but i've stopped looking at the clock because it makes it worse for me. and even though i've wanted her to not sleep next to me as often in the bed, i'm too tired/lazy to settle her all the time so she's been sleeping next to me heaps more.

and if you're feeling frumpy, liberty sits on my roll of fat on my belly when i'm holding her!!

no i here you on all counts feeling fat and tired, Eireann has been waking up more and ive found im sleeping in the day sometimes because of it ,doesnt help that my two year old wakes up at about half 5 in the morning, cant get cross at him though as he is so sweet with lots of cuddles and kisses ,

but yep feeling fat as well think ill join WW after christmas try and lose some weight

Dont feelto bad hun ((((HUGS))))) i hope Ashlyn sorts it out and sleeps better for you

Captain I feel for you, Poppy is my only one that sleeps..... The others still wake at night??? I can't remember the last full nights sleep I got...Funny if it was'nt so draining!!!
Can you tell me where to find the body transformation??? I need it!!!! 20kgs to lose but would settle for 15kgs. Really don't know how I am going to do it?????

eej, yes I am still wrapping also, luckily Victoria is still cool not sure how much longer I will be able to do it, heat wise and also she is nearly rolling over everything but an arm. When she gets anything out she wakes up

Iserve, only one roll?????Unfortunately I have to say I have a few, DH took a pic of me in the bath with Poppy, I swear I have had my body stolen and replaced with chubba bubba one!!!! I nearly deleted it but decided to keep it, to help me on my weight loss journey I have put on 3 kgs since I had Poppy, stress, anxiety, health issues to blame..

Mummatwo Poppy is 6.5kgs at 3 months and 64cm off the chart for height and on the 75 percenetile for weight.

Hi Angie, yes come and post in here... We are'nt as chatty as we used to be but....you are welcome.

Poppy has started to laugh is batting at all her toys, trying to roll over, everything but one shoulder gets there, then she gets all angry and starts growling.

Hi to the rest of you girls.

Have a Happy New Year, stay safe...

we are just at home this year but suits me just fine.
