Welcome and Congrats to Mrzbaby, hope bubs is doing well.
Karamine - dont be to concerned with bubs weight, when they are weighed frequently within a few days, a small loss can be because of a bowel movement or not recently being feed, only big losses are of concern, its usually best to judge it over a couple of weeks when they are newborn and over a couple of months later on. DD was so petite and put weight on so slowly but my CHN assured me that she was wetting nappies, developing and was happy and healthy so it didnt matter how much weight she put on. She's 21mth now and only just hit 11kg.
Poo's - has anyone experience the number 3 yet? DD1 was the worst for it, she would go days (which is perfectly okay, especially for bf babies who can go up to 10) and then let rip with the explosion, taking with it everything in its path. When it had gone a couple I would prepare and have everything covered in old nappies, when I heard the onset it was a mad dash to the changetable where I would strip all her clothes off her bum as fast as possible.
Gabber - Hugs to you, sorry to hear you are still having problems, I hope it picks up for you soon. Did they say how long it can take before its better?
Vintrar - Chloe and Vaeda really sound like they are distant twins, lol. Chloe is such a pig she sucks away like crazy, gets a gob full and chokes on it too, sending milk spewing everywhere. I learnt with DD1 to get a burp cloth and tuck in into my bra underneath my boob to catch all the mess. The worst thing was putting yourself back together at the shops after a feed only to discover the little piggy had spilt milk all over your bra and top and you had to walk around with wet patches .
I finally got around to getting Chloe weighed yesterday (12days), she hadnt been done since she was 4 days, naughty me, she has put on 500gm the little porka and another 2cm in length. I look at her now at 4.5kg and 58cm and she doesnt look like a newborn, people keep asking how many weeks she is and I say how many days and get the ooohh big baby.
She has been feeding well every 3 to 4 hours but gone a bit silly on my left side all of a sudden, just have to keep taking her off and reattaching her so she doesnt hurt me. She's spending ages awake during the day now, her favourite is starring into the toy mirror on her mat, but if she is awake for awhile I need to help her back to sleep already before she gets overtired.
She got a free photoshoot done on Tuesday too, I was contacted by a lady who needed new photos for her website, I'll get 3 free prints. They photos that I saw were real nice, hopefully we get some good ones. I am on a roll with free photoshoots, got one done while I was pregnant to. Maybe a family shoot is next lol.
Well I better get back to the housework, lots to do.
