Hi all DS2 had check up on fri and he now wg 4595 grams up 410 grams in 2 weeks.

I dont wake him for feeds he wakes regularly seems to have 1 or 2 good sleeps a day and rest is naps!!! Over night he sleeps better in bed with us but I dont so hopefully we can fix that ASAP as I am so tired and I am snapping at DS1.

I don't tend to wake Z either, but she generally wakes every 3-4hrs for feeds anyway.

Feeb - well done on the weight gain, i have had a couple of nights where Z seems to like sleeping in with me, but she's fine during the day.. go figure! I think her prob is my flow is so so fast and she gets HEAPS then gets a belly ache no matter how much wind she brings up

Eluned - oh hun you poor thing, we have our 6wk check-up tomorrow and i have to have one too.. was meant to get them every yr from b4 A was born and i haven't had one
I am so not looking forward to it now/
Go Amelia, that is an awesome weight gain... seems we all have good lil bubbas!

Hope everyone else is well...

AFM - Z has fed every hr from 10 til 2 this morn so i think she might be having a growth spurt which is great except A is still teething and now has a runny nose and is clinging to me like glue!
She tends to gave a feed, a bit of a play and then a sleep and feeds roughly every 3hrs so is normally awake about 1hr to 1.5hrs and then asleep the same time period, although she is stirring a lot more the last couple of days and at times is happy to have a bit of a play and go back to sleep.

Ava is LOVING her, we ask if she wants to kiss Zara and she goes up to her on the floor, kneels down and kisses her head then pats her head. When i am burping her A comes up, moves my hand and gently pats her on the back! it's gorgeous.

Z went into a 000 suit today for length, A wasn't in 000 until she was a couple of months old, i am so proud of my growing baby girl!
Will add some pics to my album on here and have updated some albums on FB.. i'm ADDICTED to photos... lol

Well hope everyone is well, have managed to do the dishes, some washing, let Ava play outside and vac the lounge even in b/w hourly feeds and A only sleeping an hour.. NOT BAD i reckon.. DP better not say anything about the state of the house!

Eluned, sorry to hear that the pap smear was so painful, hope you feel better soon. I also have to have one cause my last 2 which I have had every six months have been irregular so they need to keep a close eye on whats going on down there.

I have a question for the mums that are using the Brauers Colic Relief.....I started using it a few days ago and it seems to be helping....Madison is burping a lot more after feeds than she used to although she still does get wind that gets trapped and no matter what I do it just wont come out but it doesnt seem to be as bad as it was. So my question is how long is it OK to keep using the drops for? There is not much info in the box about them. I am putting them into her bottle at each feed atm. Is that what everyone else is doing?

hhmm I think i need to update my ticker....wonder if I can remember how to do it

[feeb]

tracehb i just squirt straight into his mouth, I have cut down on how often he only has it now in late evening as that is when he seems to be uncomfortable.

~ Zarava Flutterby ~ well done good effort!!!!!!!!!!! DS2 has only been in 000 clothes and finding feet are to small for him now!!!!!!!

Thanks feebs, I might see how she goes for a couple more days then cut back as well.

Can someone please let me know how to change my ticker to a birth ticker instead of a pregnancy ticker....I could only find the preg ticker on here.

Thanks
