I had my little man on 9 January.
So far he has been excellent. Just feeding and sleeping. I must have the hang of it now as he is number 3.
I have 3boys - a just 3year old, 13month old and the new one. Things can be a little hectic at meal times or if I am BF and the older 2 want something, but so far we are managing.
My ds (first baby) was born on the 25th of Jan. I had a quick labour and feel really positive about it all. Unfortunately I was group b strep positive and didn't get my antibiotics in time and my ds contracted the infection. He finished his antibiotics last night so fingers crossed will be in the all clear when we see dr on Tuesday. He is a very placid baby and only upset when he gets a tummy ache from his medicine. We are very much in love with him.
Chody I hope you get to bring your little girl home soon. Xxx
Finally I have 5 minutes to stick my head in here!!! My DS (our first bubba!) was born on 11 Jan. The birth wasn't what I expected - Induction, 10 hours of labour and still only 3cm and ended with an emergency C-Section. The recovery was a lot harder than I expected and my milk took a long time to come in. Once it did come in, I got Mastitis so bad my milk turned green DS is now fully formula fed and is sleeping really well and putting on the pud. Most nights he has a feed between 10.30pm-midnight, then sleeps for about 4.5 hours and then goes back down for about 4 hours so we are really lucky. During the day he feeds about every 3.5hours. DH has had the last 5 weeks off work but goes back on Thursday, he is FIFO so im really not looking forward to having him away for a week at a time.
Also found out that my pram is bloody heavy today.... Uh oh!!!
Chody - Wishing your little one all the strength in the world so they can come home soon.
Hi to everyone else, i'm up to date with where most of you are at from the BB group.
3 weeks old today. i think he has silent reflux too. He's also very windy. He will not sleep in his cradle so he sleeps in his rocker and i sleep on the couch. lol i don't want him disturbing dh. He wakes up about twice during the night. which isn't too bad but i'm dead tired and he likes to be held. alot. it's exhausting. He's feeding very well now! For anyone not in the know, James was born with pneumothorax and spent 15.5 days in hospital. He had trouble suck feeding because he could not breath and eat at the same time and it made him tired. But he's doing great now!
He hasn't had any outings yet. My dh has been doing the school run this week but i'm guessing next week i'll be doing it.
Hi all, been a busy week with visitors here and trying to get outings done while DH still at home, he goes back to work on Tuesday, I even managed to get to hairdresser!
4cheekyboys-sounds exhausting! Hope you have a comy couch.
Keta- explosive poos sounds like fun, better wear an apron while changing.
Sara- sounds like you had a rough start, my sister had retained products as well they, went by themselves ( although I think she was on antibiotics) and she didn't ever have a major bleed.
congrats on Daleys birth, I have to go and read hte birth story when I get a minute.
chody- what did you call your baby? Sorry, I think i missed your birth announcement, as I was in hospital nad now i have baby brain- hope the feeding has gone well.
Amy- hope you are coping well without your DH, its amazing how much help they give, I am worried that all i will do is feed and change nappies when he is gone, might be a good chance to use those frozen meals, i have heaps that I made ages ago.
Dusty- any improvement on the settling?- what are you trying?? DH and I have no idea, we are winging it, just had a few unsettled nights so am trying a swaddle wrap tonight. It must be so difficult with a toddler as wel, how is she adjusting to the new arrival??
hi anyone i missed, I am doing this in a hurry!
We are going well, the BF is great, my nipples are finally less sore. We don't have reflux here but I will say my little one is a spewer, she was from the start, I am imagining a lot of laundry in the months to come. She burps after feeds but nothing much comes up and then 30mins to an hour later she spews everywhere which wakes her up- annoying!
