Poor bugger. Can ur partner help with with ur toddler at all? . I'm very lucky in that hubby has taken over night duties for the other 2 kids. They don't normally wake at night but last night they were up 6 times between each other so hubby had a crap night. But means I only have to get up to bub.
Have u been using anything for the wind? I've been giving infants friend a little bit.
Fingers crossed the wind settles and u get some long stretches soon so u can get more sleep! 😄
Great to hear u aren't having to top of. That's awesome.
Just feeding now and attempted without the shield. Latest all of a minute lol. It's a work in progress.
My hubby helps with DS1 but he just wants to be with mummy so no chance to catch up during the day, oh well I know its only a few more weeks and then should improve.
Even a minute off the shield is good for first attempt. I managed to feed without the shield on the right side yesterday but not the left. I have s bit much milk at the start of the feed for DS2 to latch without so I am undecided whether to try without again or not.
Congrats mumma t on the no more top ups.
Wow lc 5-7 hours sounds awesome. Max is still every 3 or so hours.
DH and DS1 have been pretty sick for the past couple of weeks. So far max and I have largely avoided it but I'm still dreading little max getting sick too.
I've been trying to write job applications but I really just want to hang out with the boys and rest.
Urgh I'm tired just spent the evening with max at the hospital while they decided what to do with him. He's definitely sick now but in the end they decided not to admit him. Glad to be going home. Though it will be midnight by the time we get there. Really hope all my boys get better soon!
Oh no thats terrible Nyigi. I hope that he improves quickly. How are you all settling in now. I have been busy applying for jobs and have found a few interesting potentials. DS2 is vomitting a fair bit after feeds but I think its because he is gutsing his food and has a fair bit of wind, oh well it should start to settle in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks Mumma T, he's doing a bit better so far today so fingers crossed. DS1 is still sick though he's on antibiotics now and improving. I just want everyone to be better. Sick of trying to keep DS1 away from his beloved little brother to try to limit contamination...
Other than everyone except me being sick we're settling in really well.
Oh I didn't know you were also applying for jobs. Good luck! What kind of thing are you looking for?
I'll be really glad when I've sent off the job application I'm working on now. Applications in my field are pretty involved so it's been quite a lot of work and hard to juggle between looking after the kids. Looking forward to taking a little break before the next application.
Yeah DS1 had the same spewing and wind problem. Hope it settles down soon.
So far DS2 is handling my fast let down much better but I also don't think it's nearly as fast as it was with DS1. DS2 still gets some wind but he's dealing with it ok.
Hello everyone. Not sure if anyone reads this anymore, but I thought I'd let you know that I've finally posted my birth story. Hope you're all going well.
Back in nov the belly belly app wasn't working so I deleted to reinstall and now can't find it hence why I haven't been around.
Will pop over and read your birth story
How r u going with bubs?
Emma is 9 weeks old now and probably my best baby so far. She's pretty relaxed, sleeps pretty well at night and self settles during the day now. But of a handful with 3 kids but I'm managing.

Hi LC!
Going great. Max is also a really awesome baby, relaxed happy and sleeping really well. Except he's sick again now. Gosh I'm finding 2 a handful, no idea how you're doing 3.
I'm finding my 5 yr old much more work than my 2 month old. Any one else finding the older ones more work? I wasn't expecting it...
Hi Ladies, DS2 is now 10 weeks old and doing great. We have had awful time of it until about 2 weeks ago with colic, its dissipating now but we still get about 3 nights a week bad.
He is breastfed with only the occasional formula top up because my supply can't keep up or I am shattered tired. Finding the night feeds much harder this time, DS1 was sleeping through the night by now so I think I had some false hope that DS2 would be the same.
I agree with you Nyigi on the older one being harder work! And I can guarantee I am not having more kids lol. We ate toilet trading DS1 at the moment so I am feeling the combined effort especially with no hot water service. It died 2 days before Christmas and we can't get the part til at least tomorrow as all the plumbing supply places are closed.
Hi Nyigi! Glad to hear Max has been an awesome baby. Hope he is feeling better now.
Haha yes 3 can sometimes be a handful. My older 2 go to day care 2 days a week which gives me a nice break!!
Yes I am finding my almost 4 yo is a handful. The attitude and stubbornness is crazy!!
Hi Mumma T. Sorry to hear about the colic. It's a hard time my son was shocking worth it.
I know what u mean about struggling with night feeds. Emma is back to waking up twice a night and I am exhausted.
Hope u got your hot water back quickly that must have been a nightmare!!
Hear u on the toilet training. We just toilet trained my 2.5yo. Thankgoodness it only took a week. So many things to think about and worry about with these kids. It's hard work!!
Emma was 3 months old yesterday. She is becoming fussy at naptime it's like she knows I'm walking out of the room now. Also having a hard time getting her to take a bottle.
Awww what a cutie, DS2 is 3 months today, seriously where has the time gone. I feel a little sad i will never get these early months again but i am loving watching my two boys grow and adore each other. I think we will try toilet training DS1 again soon urgh
Hi guys. Oh what a cutie. Here's a pic of mine
Clearly it's a bit colder here
Yeah I feel the same Mumma T. I can't believe he's 3 months already. Sad to see the end of the newborn time but also happy to see him growing up and showing more personality.
Unfortunately Max got well and then sick again and is now pretty sick with the flu. We've had a couple of trips to the hospital this week (he's not breathing great) but so far have avoided being admitted. Really hoping the medicine he's on now helps him get all better soon. And now DS1 and DH are starting to get sick again too...
