was going to write a bit in here as well, but just heard DS start to stir. He had a late nap, which was good from the cooking tea point of view, but I'm not looking forward to trying to put him to bed tonight
So glad that all you ladies whose bubs arrived in August have decided to hang around with us I'd have missed you.
Hello ladies. I have finally had a chance to check in.
How is everyone going?
All good here. Amelia seems to have her days and nights around the right way now. She is awake a fair bit of the day but grizzles a lot. She seems to be in pain. It's horrible to see.
DDB, we're getting quite a bit of grizzling/in pain faces, etc, from Thor, too. Apparently the lactose levels in BM sometimes increase too fast for their systems to develop enough to cope with it, so they get a bit of temporary lactose intolerance as it sits there in their bellies and ferments a bit. We find that keeping him upright helps, and sleeping him on his belly on DPs chest - only ever while DP is awake - means he at least gets a good long sleep once during the day.
Nothing like a cuddle from DD after a hard day's work!

Oh Pholi you might be onto somethng.
DD has been so hard to settle and only likes to be held or sleeping on DH's chest we thought she was crsvng for human warmth.
I have been cutting out milk to see if thsts the causs.
example, yesterdau she would not sleep from 5.30am to about 1pm.
Everytime we tried putting her down after she closes her eyes she would sleep for like 5 mins then wake up crying again.
i saw in chemist last week this stuff you add to milk for lactose intolerance it was with the baby stuff so i assume it could be added to formula or expressed breast milk i will have better look when go town next time, and may give go myself as Amelia gets bad wind pains at times. She is mixed fed breast and formula (mostly breast) and she drinks a lot more than 60-80ml per feed lol. She averaging 120ml per feed about every 2 hours. I do wonder if this because she was big when born. And oh my do her fluffs stink. Pwoar.
Hello everyone glad to see some honorary September babymamas in here- I wouldn't have wanted to lose you! I am doing really well, Anissa sleeps and feeds and dirties many nappies so nothing much to report here!
hi everyone. Just a quick update before I go to bed. We had a health centre visit today and Amelia has put on 260grams in 7 days and is up 410 from her birth weight so we are very happy here. She is also half a cm taller and her head is 2.5 bigger.
It makes me feel a lot more confident in my feeding abilities seeing the results on the scales. I was worried I wouldn't be able to make her grow with her being so little.
Hello ladies! Figured I should actually get my butt over here! Don't have time to say much now, we're having a growth spurt at the moment so I have a very fussy girl on my hands. I finally managed to finish writing birth story if anyone wants to read it. Just a warning though, it's pretty long!
Lady N sorry to hear that Jaxon is back in hospital hopefully they can figure out what's going on soon and you can take him home
Dr Tal sorry to hear that your also having a tough time as well. Hopefully you can spend a few nights in hospital and get things sorted out
Hi to all the others
AFU well DD slept for 6 hours straight last night so I got about 5 and today I really don't know myself. I haven't had such a block of sleep since before being pregnant. Fingers crossed she can continue sleeping for bigger blocks during the night. Anyway feeding has finished so off to do some chores while she sleeps
Lady Neon-so sorry to hear Jaxon is in hospital. Sending lots of get well vibes.
Dr Tal-Sorry to hear Annabella is also unwell FX they can get it sorted soon.
How is everyone else?
AFU-we are good. Amelia was very unsettled for about 5 hours last night and I was alone because DH is at work. I finally settled her though and she slept 6.5hrs. It means I had a good sleep but my breasts objected, that's for sure.
Nothing like a cuddle from DD after a hard day's work!

Lady Neon - sending heaps of healing vibes to Jaxon oxoxo
Dr Tal - I'm hoping that your Annabella is all fine and healthy. FWIW- DD makes heaps of sounds too when she sleeps and some weird gasping for air sounds but GP said its all normal. I still get worried though with all the noises she makes
DDB - Glad Amelia finally settled.
Ambersky - CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW BABY!!!!!
AFM - Finally took DD out to the shops today although she refused to sit in the pram so I was pushing the pram while holding her in one arm. She is currently sleeping peacefully on the couch instead of in my arms for once!
