Thanks for the advice girls. Helen I might start giving her one bottle of formula just so she can at least get used to it. Is night time better to do this or during the day. She hasn't had formula for about 4 months now.
I wrote down my special personals for nessa & kel and Nina has just eaten the paper ... damn!!
But you girls are gonna love the msn chat. Very busy, but heaps of fun. And don't forget your wine & chocolate! maz, I'll drink for you.
When are we gonna have it? Nina is going to my parents on Saturday night, so I'm free then???
well I just can't win with this sleep business. Day sleeps have improved, she still only has half hour naps but thats ok for her. But we've gone from taking an hour to settle and scream to her settling herself pretty much, just needs a few pats.
But now nighttime is a nightmare. I've only ever been lucky to get 3-4 hour blocks from her but last few nights its like 2 hourly. Wed night was good night but thats one night. I don't know what has happened, don't know if its because we've changed the way we settle her in the day or I wonder if starting solids is making her tummy funny? Whatever it is better stop cause I am so exhausted and feel ill. Last night she woke after 1.5 and I tried to resettle by patting but she started screaming til I gave her the breast. I would've perservered but I worry bout poor neighbours (we live in block of units).
Jodi- PMSL at Nina eating your paper! As the others have said you gotta look after yourself, I understand how you must be feeling cause I know I'll be sad when I start weaning Ashleigh. maybe give the bottle in the evening and she might sleep longer? Or does she still like a BF before she goes to sleep?
maz- i don't think I'll be drinking that bottle wine for you. I'm ****ed on 2 glasses! Althogh maybe thw wine in my breast milk might get Ashleigh asleep bit longer... And now you've mentioned twins its in my head that that is what you're going to have, twin girls!
Nelle- I think I need to impose a strict bedtime on you! If you don't go at a reasonable hour I will confiscate all slurpees from you!
AnnaT- faint line sounds good if your friend can see it. I tell you I'm glad its you not me, I remember how stressful the whole TTC time was wondering if you are or aren't.
Oh and send Jett down to show Ashleigh how to eat. She will only take a couple small spoonfuls then shut her mouth up!
Helen.p- Not long now til Dh of yours gets back! i was joking to my Df yesterday that I wouldn't even notice if he went away cause he never talks anyway!
Well one good thing I have to report that is a big deal to me, Ashleigh drank 40mls formula out of her sippy cup yesterday! She has never drank that much and she was putting it in her mouth herself with a little help from me but then got sick of it and wanted the breast. But it is progress I can see the light that maybe Df and I can go out for a dinner and movie in the near future. Thats all i ask for!
ETA: Lil P- I will PM you my e-mail address for the article.
Anna- We do the same thing here eat all this junk while watching biggest loser! But I justify it by saying BFing will burn it all off!
