welcome berrme, glad to hear that alice is putting on weight well. im hoping my next wont be as big, even though they say your first is generally smaller, but honestly cant think of having a baby larger than 9lbs 6oz.
william is starting to learn to feed correctly now, but think he does have trouble opening his mouth enough and he keeps wanting to tuck his chin into his chest which makes attaching difficult. i am lucky in the respect of this being my first as i dont have other children to worry about, we will see how it goes next time.
afm - i have started bleeding again, and dr seems to think i may be having my period already. i am so disappointed, i was really looking forward to going without it for a little while longer. not bad for someone who is demand feeding, generally 2-3hourly, and rarely has a 4 hourly feed.
It does seem really quiet in here! I jinxed myself this morning (but in a good way) Chase slept for nearly 2 hours and has gone down for his 2nd sleep and that is over an hr now!
WOW Alice is growing really well isn't she! I havent bought any summer stuff yet in case he has a growth spurt in the next few weeks (fingers crossed!).
I can imagine it would be difficult with the boys wanting to 'help' her all the time when she is on the floor, lol.

Emzi - yeh william seems to have recovered from colic a few weeks ago too, much happier bub which makes for much happier mum. loving the less crying.
how big are you and dp, if you arent big people you cant expect to have a big baby. william is big but i am 5"9' and dh is 6"2', so we arent exactly small lol.
william is still feeding 2.5-3hourly during day but goes 8hrs without feed overnight, which makes for painful bb when he increases the flow lol. william sleeps a lot during day but lots of mums at my mothers group are lucky to get 20mins naps at a time. so i would be happy with 45mins if i were you. william has long ones in the morning which gradually taper off until 5pm when he doesnt sleep til bedtime.
william isnt rolling yet, but doesnt seem to like being on his tummy even in the nuddy, but he looks close to rolling from back to tummy lol. he also enjoys being naked and hates getting dressed after his shower of a night so i think this is totally normal behaviour for this age.
glad you are doing alright with dh gone but bet you cant wait til hes home, i count the days til the weekend. and dh only had fathers day off last weekend so poor little ds missed out on daddy time.
good luck with your next round of immunisations, got another month to go here.
berrme - william is getting to the 97th percentile for height at over 65cm tall, but weight in 90th at 6.9kg last week. he is getting close to being in 0 though, he is too tall and feet are too long. william has his 3 month appt next monday so we will see where he comes after that. he is definately taking after his dad, tall and skinny lol.
Every baby is different with their sleeping habits. Amelie is a biiiiigg sleeper. She sleeps from about 6.30-7pm until around 8-9am, without waking during the night. Then she has 2 sleeps during the day, both lasting 2-3 hours. I know it isn't "normal" to sleep for so long at this age. We don't really have a routine, I feed her when she shows signs of hunger and put her to bed when she shows signs of being tired. Apart from at night, I put her to bed at the same time every night and she settles herself to sleep with no problems (usually).
Milly has been really drooly lately! So much so that I have to change her a few times per day. Reason? She has a TOOTH! Last week I noticed she was drooling an awful lot and would get upset when she put her thumb in her mouth. I thought she might have scratched her mouth so I had a look in her mouth and there it was, a little white tooth peaking out of her gums. I couldn't believe it. It doesn't seem to bother her much though, which is so great.
She is rolling from back to front - front to back too!
DS is back at Kinder now, he had 4 weeks home with us for the summer. He was so excited to be going back, he really missed it.
Keep posting girls! I love hearing about your little ones!!
Happy Monday girls, I hope you all had a great weekend! I havent been on for a few days as DH arrived home last Thursday so had a few family days. Was so funny to see Chase's reaction to him after not seeing him for a few weeks. It took him 2 days to warm upto him again. Now he is back to his usual chatty, smiling self. We had a bad night last night so I must have eaten something that didnt agree with him. Not sure if I already mentioned it but I have had to cut out all dairy, soy and egg from my diet as Chase has intolerances to them (same as his dad).
We visited the nurse last week and Chase for weighed and measured. He is 5.3kg now so still putting on weight which is the main thing. 60.5cm long which is good. She suggested stretching his feeds out to at least 3 hourly which I was nervous about but Chase has responded really well, even lasting 4 hours in between some. Has put us on more of a routine now which has made it easier and he seems to be sleeping better during the day as well (even went down for nearly 3 hours yesterday- didnt know what to do with myself!)
Kaydee- Cant believe Milly has a tooth already! I was thinking same thing about Chase as he has had red cheeks and been super drooly but has seemed to settle down the last few days.
afm - william had to show off for maternal nurse again, and rolled for the first time from tummy to back whilst having his 3month appt. my little show off.
and he has started to show an eye tooth, which is starting to push on the skin, but hasnt broken through yet.
well as said he had his weigh in, and the stats are lol:
height 65.5cm
weight 6.89kg
head 62.5cm
