Hello everyone

Im taking Milly to the doctors today...just to put my mind at ease I weighed her this morning on our bathroom scales by getting DS to hold her and worked out she weights 4.2kgs im hoping there is something wrong with the scales because she was more than that at her 6 week check up!
She is still in 000's
but shes gotten really long
Im sure our scales are just out
im just having a stress because Im used to having big fatties DS was in 0's at this age and Lucy was in 00-0's
Sorry about the selfish post
Ill be back later this arvo to tell youz i was stressing for no reason

Hope everything goes well at the Dr's.. we are opposites, i was sooo used to having a midget baby it's odd having one thats on or above average for her age.

thanks janjams we just seem to have the same argument over and over and DP makes me feel like CRAP but we seemed ok last night, then i get up this morning to the news my brother and his fiance have split!

Well Z is doing well, i have had to put her in 00 suits for length now, it's odd as she is in suits that Ava was wearing at 6mths+, i can't wait til her next check-up on the 5.5 i think, wanna see how she's going.
I have found today she has gone back to being fussy feeding and a bit grizzly the last couple of days, think the change in weather is getting to her a bit.

How is everyone going with the o/night feeds now?
Z had 2 nights where she went 10 through til 6 and then the other night she went back to feeding at about 3ish.

Hope your all well.

Hey girlies i just have a quick question! (now that I've finally found the new thread!! thought it was quiet....)
DS is staying at nana's and pops for a couple of hours on saturday night (first time without mummy... i think mummy is gonna find it harder!) and I was just wondering with a bottle, would he be ok with a "1" teat still or should I go the next one up? I tried looking on the packet (it came with my breast pump...) but it doesn't say anything about ages and teat sizes...

Thanks muchly lovies!!

Teagz - sometimes it depends on your flow, i would leave a 1 and a 2 JIC, are you able to maybe try and see what works at home first?
I am thinking about this with Z aswell, i have expressed a bit today and want to make it a regular thing for DP to feed Z so i can have a break and get her used to a bottle, i have quite a fast 'flow' so am thinking she might prefer a 2.... hmmm interesting to see what everyone else suggests.

I would maybe try him out on the bottle teats before you leave him just to see which one he takes to. Sebs still on 1's never thought about changing it but he seems to be fine drinking it although apparently he does fall asleep then wake up a bit later for the rest of the bottle. Maybe hes getting to tired as its not fast enough? Hmmm might try him on a 2 soon then.

ZF - I hope you are feeling better about things!

PO5 - how did Milly's appt go?

Teagz, no idea about the bottle maybe a slow one? That way he will still have to work for it like he does at the boob.

AFM, we're going well. Amelia gets her 4 month needles on Monday boo She's still feeding lots, her biggest break is between 7:30pm and anywhere between 1am-2am, then she comes into bed with me and is on and off several times until 6am. Not much else to report!

Hope you're all well xox

Hey girls Milly is a bit on the small side she is in the 10th percentile
doc has put her on medication for her reflux and has ordered a urine test
she has to go back in 3 weeks and doctor is hoping for a gain of weight in that time

Teagz_ im no expert but id say use a size 1 teat so he has to work for it, Milly has just gone onto the stage 2 teats but my SIL who sometimes gives her BF bub a bottle just uses stage 1 teats

Leah_ Thanks about the pics
