Morning girls :)
Tay will be getting weighed at every MCHN appointment aswell. Next one is next week.
Seems we all had a simular night :) Tay fed at 8pm and was asleep by 8:30. Woke at 2:30 and and then up at 7:30 for the day. Poor darlin has the hicccups again! Shes always has the hiccups after a feed!
Bambi is upto 3810g, which is a gain of 400g in 2 weeks!
wow!!! thats wonderful Cheshire! Good work :)
Thanks MM feeling kinda proud of my boobies & of my little girl :D
Oh and your new Avi just got uploaded!!!! How hot do you look!!
I love my new avi, it looks so girly which is how i feel at the moment being surrounded by girls
Your new avi shouldn't be too far off MM, are you getting a whole new one or just adding a pink bundle to your current one?
Awesome mummy work Cheshire !!! Fab weight gain :)
Hmmm maybe I should get a new avi sorted.
I kind of just leave it up to who ever does it :) It will be interesting to see :D
That's what i did MM, as along as they stuck to the Alice in wonderland theme i didn't care :)
I do love seeing what they come up while trying to stick with the theme.
Thanks Star :D
Tonight will either be very good or shocking....to date he's been like clockwork waking twice a night but my prediction is tonight will be different. Hes been a bit out of sorts all day, snacking hourly and waking to do very nosy poos! He really only rested and didn't sleep except for a few hours this arv in the swing but I never gave him a sleep in the cot today as we were at the office, then he fell asleep in the swing and I didn't want to move him. To ighg he was really unsettled and cried more than usual and even squealed a few times. :( it was like his belly was sore. Just before I put him to bed he did a massive chunky spew, it was so gross and stinky. I was glad I washoldi g him though as if he'd been in bed he might have choked. He pretty much just slept through it so I didn't get a chance to feed him again and he's in bed now. I can hear him moaning a bit but that's pretty normal really. Anyway, we'll see how my prediction works out.
How's everyone else going?
:( first day alone with the girls tomorrow :( wish dh could take another week off but bc he had his appendix out earlier this year he only has a wks worth of hols... My head hurts already! Darn school holidays!!! How r u girls??

Bambi has turned into a screaming refluxy baby.
Last night was actually pretty good tho, we learnt not what not to do from the night before when she scream for 4 hours & nothing i did helped.
Star hope your night wasn't too bad & Mr T is feeling better today.
OG i dreaded my DH going back to work but it wasn't as bad as i thought & i'm sure you'll do great as well :D
Oh no Cheshire. Your poor little Bambi :( I hope she doesn't really have reflux....that's horrible.
OG-you can do it Hun :) I'm on the other end of the stick going to work and leaving Mr T. It's hard too.....if only money grew on trees.
My prediction was totally wrong! He woke at midnight, 2am then 6am. He's really loving that short turnaround in the middle of the night and I know it's because he's not feeding well enough because he's so tired. I'm thinking we might not feed him right away, do thenappy change first or just let him whinge for a bit longer and wake himself up a bit more.....not sure.
Me 2 Star, she shows all the classic signs but she doesn't vomit she constantly throws up small amounts of milk.
We learned her comforting sucking made it worse as she would just chuck it up, so now i just give her a dummy if she can't settle & wants to suck.
Now i'm also a little worried because i wont let her comfort suck that her weight gains & my supply will start to dwindle. Guess we will find out in 2 weeks.
It was actually the health nurse who said it sounds & looks like she has reflux, i was shocked as i always thought they had poor weight gains & vomited.
She said if she comforts sucks a lot it would explain the good weight gain & as for the vomiting she does the Posseting instead.
Yay for having a good night & i do the nappy change before each feed, also give her enough time to wake up otherwise she just falls asleep on the boob within 5mins & then wakes 40mins later hungry again.
Hi girls :D You may not remember me, i haven't been in here lol....
I haven't read through anything other than this page but it sounds like bubbies are doing well :D
Mr R is an awesome sleeper still, and just a very settled happy baby :D He hardly ever cries.
He had a checkup on monday and he had put on 480 grams in 2 weeks! I was very proud of him lol. Big brother A is loving having a baby brother around- he shows him off to everyone and dotes on him.
It seems iv'e been lucky, my DF is still on holidays, he goes back to work next tuesday so Mr R will nearly be 4 weeks old.
I'll be back later Mr R is hungry!!!
How is everyone??? xxxx
Yas-so wonderful to see you posting babe. I've missed you! I am so glad your bubba is so happy and content, that's wonderful. How is your other little one coping?
Cheshire-thanks, I will try the pre feed nappy change tonight and see how we go.
Mr T has a bit of a cold and been a bit grizzly this morning, I would guess mostly because I kept moving him and all he wanted to do was sleep! He had 3 hour feeds tOday which makes me a bit nervous as he has been feeding a bit more regular than that. So we'll see how tonight goes.
What sort of awake time is everyone getting? Mr T is having a couple of hours in the morning and 1-2 hours in the evening and then about half an hour each feed.
Hi girls.
I havent posted much because Im dealing with abit of stuff atm regarding breastfeeding and on such a pro breastfeeding site, I was feeling very pressured. As much as I hate it, I have decided to make the switch to formula for DD. She was up to feeding constantly for days and I had a very sad little girl that just kept fussing and getting upset. I expressed lastnight (5-6 hours after a previous feed) and it seems she is so upset because she is hungry and my supply is dropping. I only managed to get 60(ish) mls all together and thats from massaging and getting every last drop out. So she has been draining me and still very upset and hungry at the end of it... Im no suprised. I couldnt get her to keep sucking when nothing was there to encourage more supply. I also have a problem jaw (it discolates everytime I open my mouth and then goes back into place when I close) so have started taking some pretty strong pain killers (this as well as the stress from the pain is probably causing supply issues) and I dont want these getting through to her.
Its not a decision I made lighty and its going to take a little while before I come to terms with it so I wont be around as much as seeing the breastfeeding talk hurts a little atm. But i thought I would let you know whats going on.
