Hi Ladies,
I posted yesterday and cant find it here. So not sure what happened.
I had my first bub Charlotte after having to be induced due to my BP increasing and the fluid levels dropping over the last few weeks. It was a 6hr labour and very intense, wish it had been spread out a bit but Im not really gonna complain lol.
When Charlotte was born she wasnt screaming or moving which kinda made me think what the H!@# is going on arent they meant to be screaming. After 5 mins on oxygen we got a whimper and she was whisked off to the special needs nursery for about an hour. DH didnt leave her for 1 minute which left me to twiddle my thumbs and wonder what the heck to do.
Anyway now she is almost 6 weeks old and after 2 weeks we chose to stop BF as she had kept loosing weight and at one stage wasnt off my boob for any longer than 1/2 hr. My mum and grandmother had the same problem so Im assuming maybe it could be a genetic issue or something.
Now she is feeding about every 4hrs and is putting on weight very well. Only problem is we have a wind issue. Lots of bottom burping which I have been told is normal but the amount she does kinda has me wondering. We will see the pead in 2 weeks so will wait till then. I have tried a few things like breaking up feeds with burps, using gripe water, infacol, changing formula, leg movements and tummy massages.
I was also wondering how many of you have issues with baths. Little Charlie screams soooo much and ends up with tears falling down her cheeks. Last night I tried bathing her with a towel draped over her and it did calm her a bit, I just want her to love the water as much as me.
Anyway chat to you all later
