Sophie is on her 2nd sucking blister. It doesnt seem to worry her.
She also has a big unsettled period each night from about 9pm- 10/11pm (just when everybody is desparte for sleep) crys, feeds, pulls off, burps/pukes, feeds, screams. Hope that sorts it self out soon
PZ- how you feeling love?
JM and Kitten how you guys going?
K- did the bricks elevating the bassinette help? we have ours raised at 1 end too
Looks like we'll be seeing Anila soon- congrats hun
Hey ladies I've been a bit absent - in a sleep deprived haze lol. So I read a lot, try to reply and nothing comes out But, I figured I better contribute something one of these days! And now I've got a lot to catch up on so this'll probably be long lol.
Annabelle had a little blister on her top lip too, but it's gone today. Didn't fuss her at all at least.
DT, we have those unsettled periods too. We found that she had gas, and she fell asleep really easily if I stood up with her (usually with her still attached to the boob lol). I think so far all of our unsettled periods have been due to gas, but I can't work out if there's anything I'm eating which is causing it - it's pretty random. Hope Sophie gets better for you soon.
Lol at the tap boobs K! I've got the same thing, I'm going through so many breast pads, it's ridiculous. I agree with MoT, I wouldn't worry about her not getting hind milk - your breasts know what they're doing. Sounds more like an intolerance to something to me, based on what our Community Midwife has told us.
PZ, how are you feeling? I saw your other post about going to hospital, hope you're feeling ok now.
MoT, what a sleeper you've got there!! Do you reckon the co-sleeping helps? We've had a bit of trial and error with Annabelle's bed, getting it right for her. We've now got it warmer, and a bit softer, and adjusted the temp in our room. Seems to have worked - night before last she fed every three hours, last night she slept from 10-4, then 4:30-7:30 I couldn't believe it! I had a fantastic sleep for those 6 hours, but poor DH was up all the time checking on her cos he got worried. I woke up absolutely soaked though, with giant melon boobs
As for bubs herself, she's going strong - she's growing so fast! Getting lots of awake time too - last night we bathed her at about 6:30 (she loves baths) she fed a bit, then just was awake for ages. Went in her swing, and had lots of play with Daddy - he managed to get out lots of gas lol. She had a change, another feed and into bed at 10. Can't believe she was awake that long, but I guess that contributed to the 6 hour sleep last night.
We took her into my work yesterday to open an account for her (I work in a bank) and she got loads of attention as she was having more awake time and charming everyone with her cute little expressions lol. Got hungry half way through the appointment so I did my first public BF! Took her out shopping again today and went much better than last time, she just looked around at everything.
Well, enough about me, hope everyone's doing well and enjoying your little ones
Also just wanted to say if anyone wants to add me on FB, feel free - you'll find me under K.iri T.ee. Profile pic of me & bubs. I added my Belly Buddies and I love seeing all the gorgeous baby pics
awesome KT ill add you (my profile pic is bubs face)
i doubt co-sleeping is making him an awesome sleeper as my daughter was the same and she slept in the bassinette
he co-sleeps cause he wouldnt stay settled in the bassinette and its easier in the bed.
MCH nurse came and his put on 80gms! so his almost back to his birth weight
Annabel Constance was born 2 days ago 27th June at 2.25pm, 3.25kgs, head circ 35cm and length 53cm via c/section, she is just gorgeous. She is one hungry and unsettled bubba, she feeds well when she can shes just waiting for the milk to come in... so heres hoping it will soon. We are still at hospital at the moment, going home on Saturday.
