    Hi ladies
    Just wanted to check in and see how you're all going?
    My baby boy smiled this morning!! It was so beautiful
    Luckily my dd's little hitting phase only lasted a couple of days and she's had nothing but kisses and cuddles for ds ever since. Thank goodness for that!
    Hope you are all going well

    hi all well i am in this group too! jakob was born the 21st feb, weighing 6lb 15oz, 46cm long. beautiful head of hair and such gorgeous eyes!
    the last month has been wonderful, he grew 3cm in less than 2 weeks, he's gaining weight like a pro and finally filling out 0000's (they are not swimming on him no more!)
    i am slowly weaning him of breast as i seem to not be making enough (and also i am certain he has silent reflux) he is fussing over boob alot and not settling well, but give him a bottle (i have started him on 2 bottles a night) and he even will sleep for hours (5 hours last night!)
    also i feed him alot during the day and when it comes to feeding him again in the morning my boobs are not full, i did try putting him on extra but has not made a difference.
    not looking forward to his and mine ob appt in a couple of weeks, jakob was born with hypospadia ( his wee hold not where its supposed to be) and also i am certain he has chordee (which hypospadia and chordee do happen together) which has not been confirmed yet but his doodie end is not 100% normal. so he needs surgery, and i am hoping only once (they can need more then one surgery). i hate hearing about what he needs to go through its terrifying, at least it should be until he's at least 6 months of age.
    anyway sorry to go on, thought i would share a little about jakob (i wont tell my birth story it was a planned c section but left very not impressed lol) cant wait to get to know you all and your little ones xxx

    Ashie, how did you go with Jakobs appointments? It's horrible to think of them going through surgery at such a young age

    he's doing well at 9 weeks he's 52.5cm (still newborn legnth!), 5.080g, and head is 39cm! no wonder in weight he fits into 000 but length they still swim on him but his gorgeous!
    i have an appt with the surgeon on tuesday, to see what exactly is going on hopefully and to know what will happen from there.
    his reflux still giving him trouble been sicking a tad more so losec is our next step which should help if their is pain with it.
    he such a happy bub coo'ing, even trying to giggle alot and trying to roll (his tubby belly stops him) he just going so well, but sleeping he starting to do better the last week 7-8 hours in one block then a bottle and back to bed for another 2-3 so not too bad.
    hope all is well you everyones bundles of joy, they grow up so quickly!

    Hi all,
    we are going well here. Hazel is getting better with the breastfeeding although my nipples are still damaged i think it's now more a case of her having to get bigger to accommodate my large nipples. I have still been able to bf exclusively though which is great. DD is certainly getting plenty and weighs nearly 7kgs but is so gorgeous! She is also sleeping a good 7-9 hr stretch at night which i'm loving as DD1 has also recently started sleeping through, finally.
    ashie - your right, they grow so fast. Good luck with the surgeon.

    CW: Wow nearly 7kg's, thats awesome!! My little man has been putting in weight wonderfully and he's 5.5kg, but he was only 2.9kg at birth. So cute watchin him get all chubby
    Ashie: Good luck with the appointment on Tuesday.
    I'm jealous of you both with your 8-9 hour sleepers! Haha, we've had an 8 hour stretch over night....once! Oh well, we'll get there. Can't really complain, have had no other problems like reflux etc so getting up a couple of times a night is nothing
    DD is the one giving me trouble at the moment, she has gone backwards with her toilet training

    Hello all! Almost forgot about this thread! Not much chatter going on!
    Hope everyone is doing well!

    DD2 was 6kg at 2 months, so not sure what she is now at 11 weeks but she is sooo chubby. Her legs are huge and have heaps of rolls, lol. It is the cutest. But we use MCN's so not much good for that, need to get some side-snapping nappies.

    She is a little chatterbox always testing out her voice and 'talking' to me. Loving all the smiles, no laughs yet but it will be soon I think!

    Sleep not great but doesn't bother me too much because I'm used to it after DD1.
