Tams-my ex husbands best friends wife did with all her kids to keep them quiet at night all 5 of her kids had shocking teeth.
Ella has got herself into a sort of routine seems to have her last feed at 8ish then goes to bed then its 12:30 and 4:30 and she is awake at 7am her daytime feeds are anywhere from 4 to 6 hours and she is staying awake longer and getting over tired if we have a day out shopping ect she likes her bed to sleep and will sleep solidly there for hours but if only cat naps off and on if in the pram or car seat little bugger.

I had a friend who gave her daughter strawberry quick in a bottle until she started primary school. She is now 7 and still talks like a baby, not on purpose she really does sound like a toddler trying to speak.
Kitty GL with the hold, let me know how it goes :)
AFM- tried to DTD for the first time..... bit upset, i think they stitched me up wrong cause it wouldnt go in :( It really hurt and now it stings when i pee. Did anyone else need more than the recommended 6 weeks?

Argh....at night jack only feeds off my left bb for like 5-19mins before he has fallen asleep and then when he goes to have my right next time his on there for the usual 20-30mins. Wondering if my flow is too slow on the left???

iona: C is the same, I just assumed it was because he favours my left boobie that he just drains it quicker/easier. He really hates the right boobie so takes longer fussing around on it.

Hi everyone, how are we all this fine morning? lol
SJ - I'll post on FB when we get to Crown as I can't access BB from my phone and I won't have net access while we're up in Lara. I'm really looking forward to tuesday, should be fun, and I can't wait to see the look on DS's face when he see's all the fishies (he's obsessed with fish lol)
Ferrals - I'm still bleeding, most days it will stop for half a day and then start again in the afternoon or start in the morning and stop in the afternoon, and it's like a light to medium AF with AF type cramping too, it's been like that for 2 weeks now. With DS my bleeding stopped at 3wks, an then I got AF again 2 weeks later.
Wish it would make up it's mind, I want to DTD already :(
hi everyone else :)
afm - I feel a bit bad by saying that Elise sleeps through most nights from 10-11pm through to 8-9am... sometimes she wakes up at 5am for a feed though and then sleeps for 2-3 hours.
DS was similar though, sleeping through from 8pm to 6am from 3wks. I think it's the formula that makes Elise sleep so well, she always has a formula feed last thing at night when she sleeps through.
Heading up to Lara tomorrow afternoon, so won't be online again until either tuesday night or wednesday morning. Have no idea what we will be doing on monday but I'm sure my MIL will think of something lol and should be a great day on tuesday :)
Anyway, I'm going to go to try and put Elise down - she's been asleep in both mine & hubbies arms since 10:30 - as I need to go to bed, I'm exhausted.
Have a great night & weekend all!

Oh kitty good I'm not the only one but sometimes it doesn't feel like he drains it all....so many things to ponder on!!!
Jenna - hope u have a good time away

morning everyone,
I'm having a really hard time with DS feeding at the moment. He is only taking half his usual amount of EBM in the bottle before grizzling or just ejecting the teat. Sometimes I think he is still hungry but won't accept the bottle. I took him to a GP yesterday who didn't really come up with any explanation other than he couldn't find anything wrong with him. DS is still putting out regular wet nappies but not as saturated as they have been. I am quite concerned. He does share some of the reflux symptoms like some back arching, regular large vomits and now refusing to complete a feed. He doesn't have the crying which I've read about from the accounts here. I'm not sure what to do. He does have a MCHN appointment on Monday so I will raise it with the nurse. We also have paediatrician appointment on Wednesday.

Is it only a public holiday here in QLD tomorrow?
Some asked earlier how the photo shoot went. E was good for about 20 mins and heard "let's try her on her tummy" and that was it! Apparently they got some good ones. We go back Saturday and choose one. Im taking dh with me coz I'm in decisive and picky :) least then too if they try to push a package (coz they took lots of photos), he can say no, coz I don't like to offend. I'm already dreading calling pixi about their free 0-3mth photo... I just want it coz it's free!!
Ended up calling little images at shailer park, theyre letting me get the free newborn package (at 6.5wks) on wednesday. Its only valid up til 1mth but they they stuffed me round and head office approved it for me :) hopefully, E will pose well :)
BIL leaves for Doomadgee today with his fiancée. They're teachers and have a 7week contract. They come back 1am before end of term, then get married, have their honeymoon and (if they liked Doomadgee) head back for a 6mth contract!
-
Yep only a holiday here scone. All the other states have it either later or have had it already.
Im still waiting to seem my Little Images photos I got done for free and like you will prob have a hard time picking one. I too have to use the pixie one but im leaving it to closrer to 3 months.
-
Lisa do you try him on the breast regularly? He may be ready. When we were on full time ebm I would give it a go with and without the shield before most feeds until he took it. Do you give him some infants friend first?
No other advice I'm afraid.
-
Grrrr post from 3am stupid phone wouldn't post.
Iona mine is the same. Chloe hates the right side and stuffs around for ages. It also never feels overly full, but I have expressed that side cos I panicked there was no milk on there, and got heaps,not as much as the left though. Like right now c hasn't had a feed for 6 hours, but for the last 2 days has been feeding 2 hourly, left side woke me up and is rock hard sore and leaking, but right side not really bothering me. I have been making her feed from that side first to perhaps encourage more milk cos she sucks so hard but no change....
Meanwhile chloe was awake yesterday for 13 hours straight with a couple of 5 minute cat naps hereand there. Wtf don't know how she does it, I was under the impression newborns sleep a lot!
Scone how did the photos go?
Tams - those WW prices don't sound too bad. I'm going to go cheapo and figure out how many calories I need then use calorie king to work out my food. And going to start meal planning again, used to every week but since Chloe dinner is whatever DH or I could be bothered making
-
Ah Scone just read about e photos. Can u fb me their number when u have time? was it at a studio

Jenna-dont feel bad for saying elise sleeps so well my 3 boys did i just lucked out with missy moo she actually goes to sleep really well just wakes up for her dummy or food and its always 12ish and 4ish i need to try and get her last bottle for the night to be about 10pm then i might be able to get her to 5 or 6am what formula is she on?
Ellasmummy-newborns are supposed to sleep 18 hour a day but ella is staying awake more during they day she had a good 4 hour sleep in the morning and then was awake from 12 until 5pm with just a few 10min naps here and there and i can tell you she was over tired and a biatch!!!!! to get to sleep last night.
Well its 8:15 and Ella is playing up she is tired and is fighting going down for a sleep so making me eat my words.

Jaki - we aren't having much joy at the breast either, it's still the same pattern of failed latching and resorting to EBM on bottle. I haven't tried infants friend. I think we have something similar in the cupboard so maybe we can try that before the next feed.
Ellasmummy - I know what you mean. My DS doesn't sleep for long period, or has some catnaps a few days a week. I find it difficult because he is usually unsettled on these days and just can't get himself off to sleep. Ouchy for the left boob. I have had blocked ducts maybe about 3 times and that is the feeling I have got. Sometimes it takes me about 24-48 hours to clear it via expressing and trying to latch DS onto it first. DS can usually clear it (despite his short latches) better than expressing. I had antibiotics on one occasion just in case it went onto mastitis but now I just keep an eye on the symptoms as the ABs led to DS getting oral thrush so I'm not as quick to turn to ABs.

We switched from infants friend to infacol but I'm switching back, I found it had a bit of a calming effect as well as a wind helper :)
-
Thanks girls glad its not just chloe. She has slept pretty well today,will see what tonight brings lol.
Jaki I found that with IF vs infacol too
-
Chase has been lovely all day :) don't know what I did but I like it. The only thing now is the stinky stinky fluffs he does when i am BFing lol we are heading to Jacobs well tomorrow with SIL to see if we can go swimming, if its too cold we are heading back to beenleigh to the heated pool, so excited that I can finally get him in the togs i bought hehehe

hi ladies, have read this thread and a little of the other, but not sure any of it actualy sunk in :shakehead: so :hello: to you all.
Jenna, i know how you feel with the bras, all the b cup nursing ones i got are now big and they dont have any smaller sizes in them and my pre-preg ones dig in and are to small :( i know not the same, but still frustrating!!
who mentioned older siblings being pests and noisy? poor Allyssa cant sleep in her room during the day as K wakes her up, so i have her in a rocker on the dining table, and the past week T hass taken it upon himself, everytime she moves or makes a sound, he jumps up and climbes in it to give her kisses and cuddles, so for the last 2 days she has been grizly crabby and needing to be held, just when i was getting her to self settle, its out the window.
im regreting having her in our bed now. i needed sleep and the first few days, each time she woke she would wake Krystal up and they would spend the night screaming at each other, was easier to put allyssa in our bed, and k would stay asleep, now id love one night were i dont wake up with a sore arm/neck and back, its easier when there todlers you dont have to hold them in the right possition all night!
anyone else still getting bad cramps??
