Arghhhhhhhhh sleep kid. It's 10.45 you should be sleeping nearly 2 hrs ago.
Looks like its baby party night! Chloe has been up since 1 and its now 3.45 and ella will be up at 6! Ah the joys :)
Sorry still haven't had a chance to catch up properly, have only been on bb on my phone. Hope everyone is going well Xx
Eden had a night like that the other night. Was awake from 2 til 430, just wanted to be held. She did that this morning too, she's now sleeping comfortably on dh shoulder and has been for half an hour.
When DS was a baby, he would scream for hours. Started abOut 5pm and wouldn't let up til 8:30/9pm. Nurses and DRs just told me it was colic. Hang in there xx
Ds set his own routine of 2hrly feeds from birth. There's no way I'd wake Eden to feed every 2hrs. During the day, that's probably her schedule, but at night she's out from about 8 til 11. Then until 2, and again at 5. She'll start her day at 7:30.
Eden has passed her birth weight at 10days. The dr only had normal scales and told me 4kg. I got on the digital scales with her, and she's 3.9. 200g since birth :)
We have an appt when she's 6wks for her 8am needles - something to do with whooping cough. Dh and I also got a whooping cough vax the other day. It's free for parents and grandparents of newborns apparently!
I'm sure there's something else I had to say, but I've forgotten :wall:
If off to the health nurse... FX W is at his birth weight. If he is not i will know my booby isnt enough for him without the EMB, he has been on booby only since tuesday but i swear he is comfort sucking most of the time!
Just a really quick catch up from me before H wakes up for his feed. He woke me up for a feed and has now gone back to sleep!
I now have my mum and dad and MIL here, and a baby who isn't really sleeping as easily as he was before. It's either stomach aches from wind or he just wants to be held.
Plus my c-section incision has become a little infected. Thankfully I caught it really early so I'm on antibiotics and have a cream to try to get rid of it before it gets serious. My tummy is really sore, and I feel like I need a whole day of sleep to get it healing.
2 week catch up with the MHN yesterday! H is now 5.02kgs, so he has gained 200g over his birth weight, little buddah hehehe. He's not doing anything to help my carpal tunnel! lol
Hope I don't know how you're doing it! I think you should do whatever you need to to get through this time, and not feel guilty in the slightest.
Scones The MHN told me about the whooping cough vax the other day. My parents both got it done before they flew down here, which was very nice of them. DH and I are going to get it soon.
*waves* to everyone else. I will come in for a catch up when things stop being so crazy here
jaki: Hope W has put some weight on :)
scone: I got stabbed with the whooping cough needle a week after having C, went into the dr's to get them to check my c-sect incision and they were like, you know what you need...bang needle in the arm LOL
Ali: Thank god you caught the infection early. C was the same, when he first came home he was sleeping like clockwork but now he is so unpredictable! At least you have help in your parents and MIL, they should let you stress less.
Oh I thought C would have a super crap night because he literally slept all day yesterday from 8am to 3pm. I had to wake him up and shove a boob in his mouth and he sort of slurped at it then let go, then he slept again from 3pm to 7pm and I was so sure he would never want to go back to sleep and I was kind of right. He stayed up from 7pm to 10pm but then he finally wore himself out and went to sleep, and he only woke up at 3am and then again at 7am going back to sleep easily after both feeds. Heaven! I dont know what I did yesterday but I want me to do it again! LOL
Hi Ladies,
Hope everyone is well. Any news on Iona with her bubba? Ali, so jealous you have so much help. I have had really no one stop by in the last few weeks since being home. That includes dh's wonderful family that live 2 minutes down the road.
Feeling really homesick at the moment....
i got the whooping chough one the next day, they 'wouldnt' discharge me without it, i could have refused but would have to stay for the 2nd night, stuff that!!
Hope, do what you have to to get sleep hun, if its the odd ff, or what ever, do it and dont feel bad at all!! you sleeping so you can manage is more important than depriving yourself so you can do it all 'the right way'* sleep deprivation is very bad! even if you can, your dh could give them that feed while your sleeping, just so you get some extra z's. :hug: its hard with one, cant imagine with 2 new bubs, take my hat off that your still sane!! (*by right way i mean what they try to push as being best, whats best for you is what works, not what they say)
Jaki, i hope he has ganed weight for you! its great you can express, it hurts to much for me.
trying to wrestle a 1yo for the keyboard so forgoten what i was going to say, bugger it!!
Tams i come visit u.
Iona has Jack with her now. Don't know much more today. Was going to go visit but had really bad night with J so staying close to home plus I git a coffee date with kitty.
Nope, no weight gain :(
She said because we had a bad start they will give us another week. So I need to get as much milk in him as possible!
Hi guys, reading but not posting much (hate typing on iPhone)
Finally with number 4 I have managed to avoid a formula feed so far. She had a feed at around 11pm last night, fed both sides at 3.30 then up at 8 for another feed. Pity Eden was also in our bed keeping me awake cos she's teething, and kelti is currently going through a stage of not wanting to sleep so I finally got back to bed at 5.30 this morning. Think I would be having so much sleep if I only had the newborn to deal with lol
Better go, Eden is up from her extremely short day nap and is cranky - again.
Hi ladies i know i have been MIA i have been packing and cleaning ready to move and trying not to over do it with my c section wound it hurts when i do to much but i have to help DH.
Jaki-Mowgli seems to be more sooky with me and follows me everywhere i try to give them as much attenttion as possible but have trouble bending over to pick him up like i use to my belly is still really sore.
Sarabi isnt fussed on Ella she has had i sniff and turned her nose up and walked away.
We have only stopped them coming into our room when we are sleeping and when Ella is asleep in there otherwise they can come in.
AFM-I just wanted to say sorry for being absent for a while we are packing and cleaning like crazy to get out of this house and not have to pay double rent for 2 weeks my paid parental leave has kicked in and because DH is still out of work i am getting parenting payment partnered also so the money situation is looking a bit better.
But i did want to say i wont be on BB for 2 weeks beacuse our internet will be disconnected while we move and telstra said we might not be able to get it at our new address as there is no port available for that area WTF!! i yelled at them and said i am a long term customer and pay a fortune in phone bills so fix it so they are working on it i hope it will be up and running as soon as possible.
Ella is having a grissly hour every night now seems to be wind she plays up and wants to he held and patted on the back it only lasts about and hour or two then she is fine otherwise she is a happy baby and sleeps well i usually put her to bed about about 9:30 10:00 and she wakes at 2 and then again about 6:30 we have the pead appt tomorrow then off the see the surgeon.
Anyway i am off and i hope to be back a.s.a.p and that i dont miss to much talk to you all soon.
We are doing the same with Molly re the bedroom. She is taking to him more and more. She sits on my lap while I'm BFing and we all snuggle up. So cute.
Good luck with the move!

Hey ladies
So, as i thought, I did end up making the march group! Congrats to you all.
So i should be in here for babies buddies group but as with a few of you I think I wil do both this group (maybe stalk and drop by occasionally) and be in my belly buddies date group.
Hope its all going well, congrats again and now im subbed in it will be cool to keep up with the bubbas.
Shar xx
Your so sweet Kylz. Thanks so much but it is too far! We will have to meet up soon. Just been a hard 24 hours.. getting better though. : ) xx:
:
Never too far for a Friend.
Awww hugs Kylz. Thank you!! I am just heading out of the house to Myers.. Some retail therapy, might do me good. Will see what is happening next week and maybe we can do coffee halfway? xx
just stopping by briefly to sub.
Got home last night, feeling pretty good, though tired and a bit sore down below lol never knew grazes down there would hurt so much, feels like some has rubbed me raw with sandpaper down there.
Elise is feeding well, combining BFing (using the shield as she forgets to put her tongue down and pushes the boob out and loses the vacuum suction) and EBM at the moment, haven't had to resort to formula yet, and she's taking 40-50mls a feed from a bottle, plus what she gets from the boobies.
Milk started coming in early yesterday morning, my boobs look huge! I need to express again too, but she's asleep on my shoulder and I really don't want to disturb her.
Haven't had much sleep since she was born, a few hours here and there, but not feeling too bad yet, still floating on cloud 9 at the moment, can't believe how quickly it all happened. Will write out my birth story later on when I get another free moment, though I do have to admit it is very short lol
And OMG does she have the smelliest farts! Smells like rotten eggs & sulphur.
The midwife who stopped by this morning said it's probably because my milk is coming out so quickly that she's taking in lots of air as well, but at least her bowels are working lol
Hope you're all going well!
no worries:
Waaaaahhhhh!!!! Me toooo :( I'll fly down, haha:
Yes pls:
Hi girls, just popping on to say hi. Have read everything but on my phone so can't go back and have forgotten half my persies!
Scone - I had my whooping cough vac yesterday when I took C for her 1 week check up. DH,mil,my parents and sister all had it too. My arm is killing me today!
Ali- that sucks about your ur c section wound, but glad you got it early. Is having all the extra people around a help or hindrance? It would sh*t me lol.
LMP-sorry you are feeling homesick. I will come visit! When I can drive, its only been 9 days and its driving Me nuts depending on DH to go anywhere.
Hope- you are doing an amazing job! The mothers guilt attached to everything is BS. As long as you and your boys are happy is all that matters. You must be exhausted, I know I am with one newborn!
Ferrals- hope the packing and cleaning is going ok and you're not overdoing it!
Kylz-hope j man is settling for you :)
Mel- yaay for boobie milk.
Jenna and Iona- hope all is going well with you guys and your bubbas.
Shar- hi! *waves* you always knew you would have a march bub!
Hi Sarah,sammie,maz and anyone else I forgot :)
AFM-going pretty well, miss c has been unofficially cleared of having dd's genetic syndrome. They won't actually do the micro array test unless she shows signs of having it, and thank god she doesn't.
Feeding going well now it doesn't feel like her tongue is made of razor blades for the first bit of every feed lol. Just the first couple of sucks. Fatty is above her birth weight already :) she feeds Sooo much though, I was worried I don't have enough milk or its not filling her up, but gp said her weight gain is fine so milk is ok. It'd just her little belly.
Ooh hi jak!!
Love the new name :) guess I should change mine too
trying not to get too excited, but we have a list of at least 5 names we both agree on!!:happydance: we were up untill 2am discussing it, but woohoo were getting there!
i have to pull my finger out my rear, noticed over the last few days im slipping back into my old crap eating habits, only having one meal a day and just eating crap during the day, if i remember to eat at all, so df has been cooking pies befor bed so im atleast eating twice a day, im such a moron sometimes. been trying to remember to eat FOOD not crap all day, so far so good, planing on doing some cinnamon muffins later so i have someting to just grab n eat thats not chocolate! (also better for the boob supply i hope)
Oh nice name jak. Is that avi new?
Woohoo!!! Love my new name! Thanx for the suggestion Kylz my love!!!
Just waiting for my new Avvy to be uploaded. Sterla has done one for me :D
My pleasure. I enjoy being awwwweeeeeesssooooommmmeeeee lol
On my phone the avi looked different.
Kylz: how'd you go last night with J? Chase woke up at 1am and refused to go back to sleep till about 230am :(
jaki: ur new name is awesome :)
louise: miss c sounds like she is doing really, really well and its good news on the unoffical clearance, one less thing for you to worry about.
sarah: LOL down to 5 names, DH and I couldn't even come up with 5 to choose from. its so hard to find time and energy to make something healthy to eat, and I only have 1 baby LOL
jenna: looking forward to hearing your birth story :) oh smelly farts, took Chase in for the 4 week outpatient appt at the hospital today and in the middle of discussing him while he was sitting in my lap he decided to do a huge fart and then the stinkiest poo ive ever smelled!!!!
Hey everyone that i missed, hope you are all getting sleep!!! I'd write more but my head feels blocked. I have the worst cold and C has little rash on his butt from the nappies that I am putting sudacream on to try and help. Poor bubby. Plus his cold. Its just not looking good here at the moment.
Righto The Miz. Lol:
Bloody WWE was on as i wrote it lol
Kitty was ok went down at 10 up R 130 screaming. Tried to feed him bottle scream tried to feed boob scream. Finally took boob for 20 min fell asleep back to bed. Then woke up again and wouldn't go back down. Ended up in our bed slept fine. Woke at 530 feed 730 feed. So over the screaming unsettled stiff body business
W has fed all day! Good boy... Pack that weight on :D
Kylz - does he have reflux? Sorry if you've said it, I've missed lot of goss lately - for some reason I'm much busier with 4.
Jak - woohoo!!!!! Pack on that weight baby!!!
AFM - saw my midwife today, my uterus has already shrunk all the way down so she is super pleased. Plus DD3 is back at her birth weight, even more awesome!!!! DD2 took about 3 or 4 weeks to get to her's, plus was on the border of being diagnosed with failure to thrive, so I'm pretty chuffed that everything is working this time. Went to my chiro, my hips are stuffed so that kinda sucks.
Urgh I'm sick of my boobs having random leaks! DD3 has just fed and conked out and now I'm leaking all over the shop.
I'm not sure Mel. He doesn't throw up. If anything might be colic?
I.don't know what the diff is :(
Hey Ladies!
Congrats to all those who have popped that I have missed! Did we all make it to this baby buddies thread??
All good here - just taking a while to get into the swing of being a mum of 2 so been reading but not posting. Hamish is doing very well - he is on Formula - and I am really ok with that this time after working with the LC at the hossy and both she and I agreesing that its best for us - he is feeding between every 2.5 - 3 hrs and downing 100ml plus - I can already tell he is going to be a good doer like his sister.
I sustained a 3rd degree tear with H's VBAC and its been giving me a bit of curry! But its getting better and not infected, just realy constipated at the moment and afraid that Im going to pop a stitch! Anyway Im off for a shower while H sleeps in his rocker and Bella is at a sleep over at G'ma's house.
Ill be back latter I hope!
Love to all xox

Could be silent reflux? DD1 had that, the other two had reflux. They don't vomit with silent reflux.
How do I tell?
Read some of the symptoms of reflux, in the forum part.
I found mine were really unsettled, pulled back during feeds, screamed and cried during feeds, arched their backs etc
That sounds like him.
