Mini - I was asking about everyone's babies. I remember now that there's a list somewhere with birthdays I could look at. I'm lucky that my girls attach. They just don't stay on! So DD1 started losing weight and I had to give FF as well. I was hoping this time I could solely BF but DD2 is also pulling off.
Peace - I'm seeing the MCHN tomorrow for Milla's 4 week checkup so I'll ask her too. Did you find a bed rail?
Silly me. Excuse my brain..must be the complete lack of sleep I'm getting. Lachlan is almost 5 weeks..I have updated my ticker now. Good luck with you bf journey, I hope it works out well for you.
Lachlan is super fussy atm...he cries all the time, wants to be carried and seems hungry all the time but fussed at the bottle. According to my wonder weeks chart he's due for a leap. Hes given us a few odd smiles too. I'm hoping he settles soon coz I'm knackered. My Boobs are aching but getting better. Tomorrow is his kidney ultrasound, then for the next 2 weeks he has a hip u/s a surgical review, our 6 week check up and his newborn services review for hips and kidneys. My poor girls have school holidays at this time and all we will be doing is running around for appointments. Never mind. Well I'm off to bed hoping to get some sleep .
That must be so frustrating for you moi. I couldnt get to the shops yesterday as henry was being a bugger and demanding me almost all day. Ill try tomorrow I think because I need to go out to the clinic anyway. Cant wait to get him measured and weighed! Hes starting to grow out of lots of 0-3m and 000 stuff its crazy.
Sorry L is giving you a hard time mini. I hope it doesn't last too long.
I bought up big on book depository yesterday. I have 5 books on the way including the wonder weeks and some gentle parenting and attachment parenting books. If henrys going to glue himself to me I may as well make it look intended!
Better go get breakfast before dp goes to work and I miss my chance.
Mini - Why does L need an ultrasound for his kidneys & hips? I really should read back through old posts as I'm sure some things have already been covered.
I had Milla's four week check today and the MCHN thinks there's something wrong with her left hip. :-( So she said I need to make an appointment with the paediatrician who was present at her birth and get it checked out. The good news though is that despite her fussiness at the breast, she has put on weight! :-) So I can keep BF only for now. :-)
Peace - I also bought a few books on book depository a couple of weeks ago and they've already arrived. :-)
During the scans they found his kidney s to be dilated...excess fluid, so he is n daily antibiotics and had a scan to make sure its OK. The hip scan is because he was breech and also I have a strong family history of hip dysplasia. My eldest was in a pavlik harness until 8 months old.
Mini - DD1 was breech so she had an ultrasound on her hips and they were fine. DD2 wasn't breech but the nurse thinks her hips aren't fine. I have an appointment with the paed in 2 weeks, so I guess he'll decide whether to send her for an ultrasound.
I hope the excess fluid has gone now from his kidneys.
Did you birth dd1 vaginally or was she a sec? I got to do mine vaginally because I'd had 3 previous v births. It was the most surreal experience ever. Good luck with dd2 and her hips. Hoping all is well. If you need any info I'm happy to try and help. Where did you have dd2 if your just down the road from me? I had mine at Monash.
Hope everyone else is well. I think I'm coming down with something but trying to ignore it. Hard to escape in this sick house. Lachlan is 5 weeks old today. Its so hard to believe. I'm feeling pretty good otherwise and m thinking of starting an exercise regime. I put on so much weight this time, but I'm at the same point in KGS as I was with dd3, so I've got a long road ahead..
Dh is booking in for the snip soon. Good man:-) anyone DTD yet? I'm starting to get any but nervous....lol.
We dtd at about 4 and a half wks pp mini. I only had a couple of labial grazes after the birth but it was still uncomfortable and we've only done it 2-3 times since.
We went up to our clinic this morning and h has gained 750g and 3.5 cm in 2 weeks. Little binge eater isnt wasting a drop it would seem!
Mini - I had a Caesar with DD1, which I'm glad I did as at the time it was discovered she was doing the splits, so one leg would have come out and she would have gotten stuck! I decided with DD2 to have a VBAC and I did start labour but ended up with another CS. I had DD2 at Cabrini. It was a choice between Monash & Cabrini but I went private and my ob only delivered at Cabrini.
We haven't DTD yet as I've been healing from the CS. M will be 5 weeks tomorrow so I might be healed enough by now.
Little H had his immunizations today. I couldnt go in I was close to tears in the waiting room before we even saw the nurse! Anyway dp handled it and I just popped h on the boob when they came out. Hes a bit sooky tonight but no temp yet.
I got milky smiles this afternoon :-) made my day.
Hi Girls I have a lot of catching up to do..... I seem to have no free time atm
Easton is not a sleeper both my boys got colds and he hasn't slept well since then, doesn't like his bassinet and I'll put him to sleep and 5 mins later he's awake it's exhausting....only way is if I wear him in my soft carrier but can't do that all day as my back isn't great :/ I really feel like I'm neglecting my 3.5yr old tho he seems to be coping fine. I think we've just done a wonder week so hoping he'll settle abit more nxt week. Can't believe he's 6weeks old tho has gone so fast!
Peace have u had success with a dummy yet? I went through 2 brands till I got one that worked he seems to like the mam ones, but its a life saver otherwise he's attached 24/7
Hey blue nice to hear from you. I hope your boys are feeling better. Dummy still not happening here. Im hesitant to keep buying more because it seems such a waste of money if he still won't take one. Such a weird kid lol
That's no good but at least you've been seen to and hopefully you'll get on top of it.
I'm having a rough time with L. He's by far my hardest baby. He screams all the time...I'd definitely go with reflux. He's also got an umbilical hernia and today I've noticed the other side of his groin has also herniated...thankfully we have a review at the hospital tomorrow morning. I'm just tired. I hope we get on top of these issues soon.
