Bambi had her photos taken last Fri & i can't wait to see how they turned out.
With b/fing i feed DD2(K) till she was 16months then she weaned, so i'm hoping to make it that long again but i'll be happy to hit 12 months.
My belly is all jelly lol i need to invest in one of those wraps i think.

Pippi due 29 sept
Congrats again OG :D
Had a long night here but i knew we would she slept all day & evening, so i knew she would have her awake period early morning.
3-5am she was wide awake, Not crying just not sleeping either lol
Woohoo Og! My milk took ages so good in you!!!
Cheshire, hope you ate feeling okay today. I also watch how much awake and asleep
Time my little man has during the day to gauge how the night will be.
He's turning into Mr Prefictable though, waking again at 12:40, 3am and I'm just feeding him now. I actually heard Jim
Stir around 6ish but he cries when he's pooing and I have a feeling we've been getting him
Up when he's not actually awake and therefore he's not having a good full feed. So this morning, I waited and sure enough after 30 seconds there was dead silence and he was asleep again. This happened once every 15 mins but the last time I checked him his eyes were open so I got him up. He still seems more interested in
Sleeping on me rather than feeding though-lol.
Dh had a rough night with dd and was up with her from 3-5am. They are both still sleeping. Not sure what is going on with dd and she's a fan sleeper normally. I did have a bit of a cry last night though because dd really didn't want me, just daddy. Mummy makes her cry even harder by just being in the room apparently :(
morning :)
re breastfeeding - im just a go with the flow kind of person so i just take it one day at a time. if i make it to 12 months that would be great... if i make it to next week, that will also be great iykwim.
yay OG thats wonderful!!!!
pretty good night here.. we went to bed about 9:45pm and she woke at 3:15 for a feed and then woke at 8am.
yesterday was pretty crap... she kept power spewing on me every chance she got :(
I'm not too tired yet, but i bet i hit the brick wall soon lol
MM bummer with the power spews, she reminds me of my DD2.
Star :hug:
:hug: Cheshire, almost half way through the day... hang in there. Your eyes must be buldging out of your head!
Oh and happy 2 weeks Ty xox
It wouldn't be so bad if i actually got to bed before 12.
Happy 2 weeks Ty, Bambi will be 2 weeks tomorrow.
What is everyone buying their little ones for Christmas? We wont be buying her much but i've been told by DD1 Santa will be bringing her stuff.
So we have to buy something from Santa.
We are also doing our own SS in the Octo thread for the babies.
We have had quite a good day today.. pretty content and not much spew at all :D I was playing with her before and got the biggest gummiest smile, it was so cute and i managed to catch it on camera :)
We arnt buying Taylah much for christmas... if anything. I think you realise when you have older children, it really isnt nessesary ( we went way OTT with DD1's first xmas.. she was 3 months old!). Though like you Cheshire, I think DD1 is going to clue on if Tay doesnt get anything for christmas so we will probably just grab a couple things.
How did everyone's weekend go?
Ours was good & Bambi has her weigh in tomorrow, i think she'll be 3.6kg so we shall see how close i am with my guess.
Gl with the weigh in Cheshire :)
We had a good weekend, I've started the antibiotics for the uti and feeling a bit better, still having 2 hour sleeps during the day though. Dh has gone to get me some iron tablets because I'm going back to work properly this week. Not full days but as needed, so prob 20-25 hrs a week in the office. I can do a fair bit from home these days.
So I've been trying to watch Mr T to see if he's in a routine he prefers and I think I'm figuring it out. He has a big awake chunk mid morning and then in the evening so before and after his big night sleep period. Other than the cluster feed, he feeds every 2-4 hours.....I've got about 1.5 liters of ebm immune freezer and we've been giving him 100ml bottles in the evening and then top up bf to get him used to the bottle. We bought a bottle warmer and it heats so fast so dh should be to provide milk as Mr T demands and then let me know how much has been taken so I can express the right amount.
Sleep is still much the same here-last night he woke at 11:30, 2:30 and then 6:30. I'm happy with it but as we are putting him down at 8:30, I l'm thinking in the next couple of weeks to start dreamfeeding. I never did it with dd though so not sure.
Is everyone planning to get bub weighed again soon? Im not sure we will until the 6 week pead check up.....
Bambi will have a weigh in at her 4wk & then 8wk health nurse appts.
Then again 4 & 6 months, unless i get a stupid health nurse who i can't stand....
They recently changed health nurses here & i'm yet to meet the new one & i wont meet her till the 4wk appt.
Our sleep is all over the place at the moment, she is feeding every 2hrs atm & feels like just as i get her to sleep she is wakes for a feed again.
Star good luck with going back to work next week & hope your feeling much better soon :)
Thanks Cheshire :)
Bambi loves her mummy milk by the sounds of it. Do you count 2 hour feedings as 1pm then 3pm? Or 2 hours from when she finished feeding? Maybe she's having a bit of a growth spurt?
Mr T will be weighed at his 6 wk pead appt and then 8 week injections and then at his 4 and 6 month injections I guess. I don't have much faith in the weight taking at the gp, their scales are vastly different from the ones at the hospital-as in up to a kg. They put the scales on the soft bed so I think that's why....
1pm then 3pm etc... i was always told to count it from the time she starts a feed. Really she is a quick feeder no longer than 10 mins a side but at 3am 10 mins seems like forever lol
I think she might be having a growth spurt, either that or my supply was lacking which wouldn't surprise me as i struggled with supply issues last time.
That's how I count the feeds too. If it is supply then the constant feeding will help boost it :) Ds feeds the best overnight as far as length which is pretty annoying! I'd rather he be slow during the day and speedy at night.
Oooh maybe Mr T reads this thread, I put him down at 8:30 and just feeding now. Actually we're done on one side (dh is currently burping bless him) and it was a 10 minute quick feed. So woweee. I wonder if I write that I want to win lotto that will also come true despite the fact we don't buy tickets? Lol
lol you can only try Star.
We had a much better night as well, she feed at 8:30 & then 2, then once again at 5:30 & she is still sleeping.....
