My A is also 10 weeks old now. Getting lots of smiles and giggles, especially in the mornings. Still having issues with bfeeding, but persevering with both nursing when possible and expressing.
The wonder weeks are challenging though, just going through the 3rd leap at the moment, which seems to be affecting her sleep more than anything.
How's everyone else going?
I hear everyone talking about wonder weeks but I'm not exactly sure what they are? I notice some weeks she has been more unsettled than others and it shows with her sleeping.
Last night she slept from 9:30pm-6:30am! It was amazing! Although I did get up a few times to check on her!
There is a phone app about the wonder weeks, you can also buy the book. It helps describe the developmental leaps babies make and how their behavior is affected, and what we as care givers can do to ease and encourage babies through the leaps.
Hello lovely ladies.
The wonder weeks book/app is fantastic.
All is good here. Starting to get some longer stretches of sleep which is nice. Miss E is quite the chatterbox and we get lots of giggles now. She is such a happy baby (most of the time).
I can't believe how quickly the weeks/months are flying by its crazy!
So I'm 7 weeks out .... Started spotting old blood on the weekend, pretty consistently on and off since....last time I bled was at 5 weeks.... Everything I read says you bleed for six weeks, but I'm 7.5 now.... Normal??
With each baby my cycle returns around then :(
I'd speak to your dr to check!
Mckenzie is now 14 weeks & I'm still bleeding. Have had 2 d&cs and looks another one on Monday as still 6mm of placenta left. Am hoping this is the last time. Over bleeding :(
Oh beau! That sounds so crap!
Eddie is a little talker as well. He is 13 weeks atm. I feel like he is getting more and more sensitive to what I am eating. So no dairy, no coffee for me. Also no brassicas/broccoli or cauli for me. No spicy foods either. I am going insane!
Oh beau thats terrible :(
Bella I've been wheat free/restricted for a while now to help with E's wind. I'm craving garlic bread and pasta lol
Glad I am not the only one. Well I'm not glad that you and she are suffering, but glad someone else commiserates with me.
How are you doing now beau?
Bella I'm praying that there is some truth to babies growing out of colic at 3 months and that we will be able to eat normally again
My hubby says that the paediatricians he talks to all say that most babies do grow out of it at 12-13 weeks. And that whatever the mother tries then, is then assumed to work because that is just when the symptoms settle down. So I have my fingers crossed.
Just wanted to sneak in and say for DS his colic stopped at 14 weeks and he was a completely different baby. He has been and still is such a happy little guy since so hang in there I know how tough it is but it will pass xxx
Hi ladies sorry iv been Mia. How are you fab ladies and little ones? Jason is 39 weeks and 9 months tomorrow.
He's going to be a big brother in June. ..I'm 16 + 3 weeks pregnant x
Wow congrats. Your going to be one busy mum. :)
It's amazing how fast the time goes. I'd love to start planning for another one but I don't think hubby is there just yet.
All the best for a smooth pregnancy and an easy birth.
How have you been going so far?
This lo was not planned but is a true blessing. I'm doing ok been struggling with pain but I have been for many years. ...loving seeing how amazing Jason is doing every day. This latest pregnancy is okay I'm on asprin as my obstetrician thinks it was a clot that caused the failure in the placenta. It took a while to get our heads around it, how are you and your fab lo xxx
I saw your post footsteps and I was so happy for you :)
I remember after you had Jason you mentioned that your OB had said you may not be able to have another bub - so an extra miracle you have!
Amelia is so big now :) she is 7.5 months old and just started to crawl! I can't believe how much time has passed..
Shanleem- I have my days when I think I am ready for another, and then I get scared that I won't be able to cope with a toddler and a newborn- and I look at Amelia and I feel guilty for thinking about another child who will take my attention away from her and she will wonder what happened!
When do you know that your ready?
Any second/third timers have any advice?
Emma- we were told they didn't know how I'd got pregnant with Jason and I know with this lo he's happy but worried. I have got appointments every 4 weeks max. The aim atm is to make it to 20 weeks...how's your lo? X
