S'rose - how did the new mothers group go? It seems you have the only boy here so far!
Hi allyjane - Congrats on the birth of Arabella!
Hi Juniper - nice to see you here! I wonder if mum+mum will join here or the Feb group??
AFM - I don't know if any of you are experiencing this, but Amelia seems to LOVE to eat, to the point where she seems to get overfull and then vomit an awful lot of it up again..... Are any of you having this? If so, any tips on minimising the overfullness whilst also ensuring she gets enough to eat?? (oh, I am breastfeeding...)
Welcome Juniper and congrats on your baby girls arrival.
chody47 - new mums group was interesting and there are some upcoming topics i hope to find really useful!! Oscar is a fair eater and use to do that.. If Amelia is demand feeding, then you can shorten her feeds yourself and know that she won't go hungry as she'll tell you when next to feed. Just note the time for length of feed and time between feeds.. you can lengthen or shorten according to her needs then and avoid the vomiting.. She will get to know her limits soon!! Its so distressing to see them vomit.
Hi... jumping over here from the BellyBuddies...
guess i should probably update the ticker and signature and stuff.
Lewis Henry was born 26th January (Happy Australia Day!), little brother to Edward.
All going beautifully so far! A couple of 'baby blue' days under my belt but generally a lot more relaxed with #2, although i constantly feel guilty and worried that i'm not managing to give anyone the 100% attention that they deserve.
Feeding going well - he loves it, think my milk comes out a bit fast for him sometimes though - probably due to Edward still BF until a few weeks ago, all good - he'll learn to keep up!!
Snuggles to all these beautiful babes
Are everyone's partners on holidays or are you into 'real life' yet? my DH has one more week off... getting nervous about handling two by myself, but everyone else seems to survive it don't they?!?!?!
S'rose - I'm glad the group went well. Amelia is demand feeding and yesterday I did exactly what you suggested, shortened her feeds and she seemed to cope ok. She didn't actually want to be fed anymore than previous days and the amount of vomit was considerably reduced
AliMoy - congrats on the birth of Lewis! My DH is still at home, he has one more week to go too. TBH I'm a little nervous about when he goes back to work too!
