Jodi_Lee - I've got the same thing happening over here with Xander! Your night last night sounded a lot like ours 'cept Xander managed to fit in a few more feeds (oink). In the end I just went into the spare guest bed with him, took my top off and let him self feed all night. I didn't realise they had a growth spurt at this time... I thought the next was at 12 weeks!
Maz - Xander doesn't poo much either, but no sheep poo over here! He only goes every 3-4 days (doctor said that is normal) but boy, when he does... yikes can he fill a nappy!
Adele - Xander likes soft lighting at night too, kinda handy as his night light is bright enough I can see to change his nappy at night and don't need to turn on the bright room lights. I bought one that has a sensor built in - it automatically turns on when it's dark and off when it's light. Only cost $10 and is so worth it.
Mummymeegs - Not sure what you could do re the pillow.. the hammock does sound like a good idea, but what age do they outgrow these? I think they are quite exxy, so be terrible if he outgrew it in a month or two. I've got a cuddly baby that hates being put down too, so little gets done these days!
Rach - What a huge weight gain!
Nelle - I use a bottle warmer to heat EBM, but standing the bottle in warm (not hot) water for 30 mins will heat it nicely as well. Just don't microwave EBM as it's not good for it. To wake Xander I always just change his nappy - he hasn't ever slept through that!
ShellBell - Xander will suck DH's bicep too! and his nose, chin, shoulder, neck. LOL
Belle - Chin up hon... always here if you need to chat. Was good to talk to you yesterday.
Can't remember who asked, but I used Gaia Soothing Lotion on Xander's bum when it was a bit red a few weeks ago - worked really well. Actually I still put a tiny smear on now at most changes and we haven't had a problem since.
I dunno what we are gonna do for contraceptive, at the moment I aint getting none so it isn't an issue! I was on implanon prior to ttc, but hormonal birth control just doesn't seem to agree with me and I hate condoms. Mind you, it took 3 years and then clomid to fall pg, so I can only assume I have crappy ferility... not risking it tho!
