[Eloise]

Hi Guys,

My name is Eloise and I am the proud and extremely happy mum to "Leon", who arrived on the 18/06/09 at 3.24 AM.

So far he is a very calm yet alert little baby and I do not know what I would do without him.

Look forward to speaking with more of you new parents as time goes on.

Regards
Eloise

Hello Eloise Congratulations!

After only 8 days in the NICU/SCN and at my local hospital I finally have Tristan home

He is such a peaceful baby, doesnt cry much, feeds well and sleeps well.

Sally - on Tristan being home so quick!!! He is a little champ!!!

Leah was born at dinner time on the 15th and was due on the 20th so I got to know a lot of the girls who should be in here through belly buddies. Being late in the day we are kind of half way between baby buddies groups so I am going to go in both

She is quite a happy little bub. She is very petite though, right now, at 2.5 weeks she is wearing a 00000 suit. It is starting to get a little bit small for her though, so she will be in 0000 for our night out tonight and I doubt she will get back into the 00000 by tomorrow.

Good to see you in here ali

Tristan is 2 weeks old today! He's waking only once overnight, with a last feed at around 10pm and first morning feed around 8am. Usually waking around 3am, which is just fine for me

CHN is coming over for a home visit on Tuesday, cant wait to weigh him!

Hi Guys,

Amelia was born on 22 June (due date was 2 July) after around 12 hours of labour which went well - the problems started afterwards when the midwife realised that there was still some placenta left behind which was creating issues with breastfeeding.

Amelia lost 13% of her birth weight so she was initially topped up on formula but things seem to be going ok now - she is back on breastmilk only and sleeps between 2.5 to 4 hrs between feeds (she tend to sleep 4hrs + at night!). We have another visit to the maternal health nurse on Monday so will hopefully have more positive news to post

Time is flying by - I cant believe she is 12 days old already!

Hello baby09

I hear you on the time flying by! Goes far too quick!

Tristan is finally starting to look 'normal' in colour. He's not so yellow and glowing (Jaundice) He's also not as sleepy when feeding now either. Glad that his Jaundice is clearing up!

Hello Girls, congratulations on the arrival of your little ones, hope your all doing well.

Ethan is 3 weeks old today, not sure how that time went so quickly, he`s lost his new baby look and is starting to smile and make baby noises.

For once I actually have a little boy, his brothers were 2lbs heavier at birth, only problem is I had all 000 outfits but MIL and my Mum brought a couple of 0000 for me which fit him nicely, he only lost 30gms at 3 days old, he gets his first weigh in tomorrow, he`s quite heavy now and has got longer so I`ll be interested to know what he`s put on.

Matthew has been nicknamed mother Hen by me, he`s so very clucky, Adrian is at times as well but he`s a bit rougher.

BFing is going well, although I came down with suspected mastitis at 5 days, I rang my OB and he said it sounded like mastitis, I`ve never had a problem with BFing before so that was all new to me.
