Just uploaded a pic for you girls.
ohhh Danni she is gorgeous!
Well done!
Hello,
Danni - aww she is so cute. Congrats again!
Nikky sorry to hear both your girls are sick :( I hope they get better quickly for you. DS started with scrubby nose and cough tonight. Im hoping that disappears quickly too.
AM wow home already! Glad to hear the jaundice is much better.
Amanda i hope you are both well
Lolpigs so glad to hear that feeding has improved for you. Yay!!! I hope it keeps up :)
We had screaming again last night starting after her feed at 9:30 and through to 3:30am. DH had to take over at that point as I was exhausted. She settled after a feed then slept for 3 hours. I'm pretty sure it was gas again. Not much I can do about it is there? Hard to see her in pain. I'm hoping tonight will be better.
So beautiful Danni!
Oh no, hope they're both on the mend very soon Nikky - sick kids aren't fun especially this little.
Sweetpea have you tried holding her laying along your arm face down with her head in your hand, feet at your elbow - DD used to get wind pain and the pressure on her tummy used to really help, especially if she was rocked like that? Windy bellies do suck for the poor little mites :(
Back with the TMI for a sec for me - I think my stitches are starting to dissolve or something, that or it's just the healing process itself, but jiminy cricket it's flipping itchy as all hell tonight! Have had a quick salt bath, rinse and am now sitting on an ice-pack as it's driving me barmy :rolleyes:
Alex is doing awesome but I keep having to remind DD that it'll be ages before he does much more than just feed/sleep - she so badly wants to play with him, I try to keep her as involved as possible but am going to wait till his head control is better before she can change him etc.
Ack Lilly seems to have conjuntivitus, where did she get that from :( Oh well breastmilk wiping until it heals, hopefully I caught it soon enough.
Thanks sweetpea, gripe water or infacol might help? I second the tummy pressure, even tummy time tends to help Lilly when she is in pain like that.
Lol Dan I've been bra free for 2 weeks now I can't find anything that dosent cut into my boobs and make them get big lines and annoy them.
Lilly has been cluster feeding since 7:30pm, making up for lost time perhaps? Put her down in her bassinet this time to try and get a break, her sleeping on me means she wakes every hour becuase she has close access I think haha
Heh, maybe Lolpigs...though Alex does the cluster-feeding thing around that time of evening too, sometimes starting a bit earlier (which makes dinner time for me a bit tricky) but it does tend to mean he sleeps better overnight thankfully. Hopefully she'll get herself nice and full for a good night's sleep for you!
DD had a devil of a time with conjunctivitis though that was once she started daycare. Sometimes they do just get gunky eyes, so long as you're keeping it clean and only using a cotton wool pad once should clear up soon enough.
Little Mister was incidentally more than a little over-baked after all, his skin is all peeling off on his belly and around his neck at the moment, looks awful but my mum says it clears up relatively quickly.
Well we had sleep on an off tonight, however my husband fed her some formula at 12:30 feed becuase she just wasnt settling after that one. I guess my supply just isnt up there yet, but is getting there.
At least we had some success today so that is something I guess?
Hello :)
Jess slept last night and no screaming. So relieved, didn't think I could take another night like that in a row. She did a 4 hour stretch and a 2 hour stretch. Though DS then woke up and was sick. Vomiting, coughing, runny nose. DH is at the doctor with him now. I hope he gets better quickly and I'm nervous managing the two of them tomorrow when he is so sick.
I've changed the bottles and the formula so I'm hoping it helped her. Though I've read with colic the test is 3 hours crying a day for 3 days a week and for 3 weeks or more. I'm hoping it was just some gas and nothing more.
Every little improvement is a step in the right direction Lolpigs :)
And glad to hear you got some sleep Jan, though sad to hear your boy is unwell - hope he's better soon and Jess doesn't catch it!
Waiting for Alex to wake up so I can change/feed him before we have to take DD to nippers...but he's still asleep! Might have to pop him in the car without the change and feed and hope for the best....
Sounds like what my DD gets in the evening Sweetpea. She also gets really unsettled and cries before a big BM for some reason. I guess she doesnt like how it feels haha.
Only had to do a 30ml comp so far today. Much better than every feed. I'm going to pump now and hope bubs stays asleep till 1... keep your fingers crossed for me :D
Lilly's conjunctivitis is already better. go go breastmilk!
Dan she is beautiful :)
Well after a good night hoping today keeps up lol.
Went through his draws and got rid of all 0000 and pink items I had been given. Empty draws now lol. Hanging out to go shopping lol.
LOL I need more 0000 stuff, I bought mostly 000 thinking bubs would be big like the rest of the babies in the family.. nope!
She is currently using a rotation of about 10 jumpsuits and some singlets haha, she needs to get chubbier
Can't believe we had to go out the day after we got home to buy more long sleeved stuff - was colder than I thought it'd be this time of year. Warming up now so the little onesies are coming out, and supposed to be hitting high 30's next week - think we're going to stay at home in the a/c!
We didn't have enough 0000 stuff. My mum went and bought a whole heap. I thought it was going to be cooler than it is and had a whole heap of bonds suits which have hardly been used. The 0-3 mth pumpkin patch stuff is too big for her too.
Sitting at the docs with DS. Poor little thing is so sick :(
Hi there,
I hope you ladies dont mind me joining, my little DD1 was born on the 12/11.. Im just in the middle of writing my birth story...
Ive read most of the posts, but it might take me a little while to catch up, and work out who is who :)
Nice to meet you Mollie, and congrats on the arrival of your little girl!
Hi Mollie, welcome to the group.
I have been so slack posting photos up lol. I have heaps on my phone but I don't think I can post them on here.
