Babies Born ~ January 2014 #1

[YoYo]

Dansta - my pelvic floor felt so weak I would lose all my guts! But that was because of my uti and a bit of constipation. Even though no tears from birth, my nether region copped a hammering afterwards. Hopefully there isn't anything else going on for you.

Dansta - my pelvic floor felt non existent for the first week, but is much better now

Jen - Jealous of your cruisy Bub

Yules - looking forward to your birth story too.

Little O - I hear you! My nipples are cracked, peeling, red and SORE! I'm looking for a LC as Dr Google and I think there's a link between DS' poor latch/pulling off/crying at feeds, my pain and thrush and DS' silent reflux....I don't think there's any food intolerances, but perhaps a lip or tongue tie?? If we can get this sorted (or just improved), we can maybe work on the sleep issues...DS fights sleep too. He is extremely hard to put down when he's in our arms and because he needs to be upright after feeds for his reflux, it keeps him awake. Night feeds can be two hours by the time he's back in bed, so I get about an hour sleep after midnight unless DH takes over. He likes to be worn, but gets too hot in the wrap, even inside in the AC, so 40 mins is max.

On the plus side, he usually has a decent nap in the morning (2hrs maybe), a 5-6 hr stretch from 6ish at night and...


....is starting to smile!!!! One side of his mouth is better at it than the other, which is extra cute. Can't manage to get a pic yet
