B - sorry, no advice to offer, I'm afraid! Fraser takes 240 ml per feed at the moment, but that is subject to change. 2 weeks ago, I couldn't get him to take any more than 100 ml, but that was on one of his off weeks. He's thriving, so I'm not worried about it. The CHN says just to keep going as we are and trying to get him to take as much as possible. Glad to see you back
Teresa - yay for Hamish's second tooth! Hope he's going okay with them!
Human Bean - good luck with MIL - hope all goes okay!
Meercat - wow, that's certainly a huge difference! I should go and get measured but I'm scared of only being able to wear granny bras. I have a huge difference in size on each side, so I can never get an accurate fit anyway.
As for us, we had our appointment at the Specialist on Thursday and .......... he thinks the doctor was being cautious and giving us the worst case scenario. The upshot is that he does have a hernia, but it should resolve by about 12 months - THANK GOODNESS! I was sooooo stressed and worried about it. I was even scared to give Fraser tummy time as I thought it might be hurting him. We're still having the 'ol constipation so we're onto one scoop less per bottle, which seems to be doing the trick. In fact, in this last week, we have only had wet poos and Fraser has been so much happier! Touch wood it continues! Also, Fraser slept through the night for the first time last night - it was awesome!!! We put him down about 8.15 and I heard him stirring about 4.30 am. I was about to go and make up his milk when all went quiet. Same happened at 5.20 (the time my DH usually gets up for work on weekdays), then again at 6 am (when DH got up for work), but didn't actually call out to me til 6.55 am. Even then, he wasn't starving like he usually is (he's usually shaking with hunger) so I'm hoping that this may be the start of a beautiful thing!! Not holding out all hope though!!
Claire that's great news about Fraser's hernia hopefully resolving itself - that should ease some worries for you! And yay for sleeping through!
For those ladies in Perth or surrounds, Silk Elegance in Leederville has some fantastic maternity bras in all kinds of sizes, not just granny ones either
Mia, so glad to hear the news on wee Fraser!! That must be such a relief for you
Teresa, yay for the second tooth!!! How exciting hun!
B, are you dream feeding Ewan? I do a 7-7.30 pm feed and then a dream feed at around 10.30. I find that it gets him through the night.
Meercat, I wish my boobies stayed a C cup from when I was pg!! I am now back to a B cup, and my (.)(.) are a bit floppier now WTF???!!!
HB, Cam loves his Grandma as he sees her about 4 to 5 days a week. When my dad tries to get a cuddle he doesn't get those cute smiles and giggles that my mum gets!! Poor dad It's b/c dad doesn't spend much time with him.....
AFM, all is well, fingers crossed that it continues!! Last night I fed wee man at 7 pm, and then gave him a dream feed at 11 pm (I wait longer on the weekends) and he slept til 7 am. What a little trooper!!
A big hello to all the yummy mummies in here, hope you and your bubs are doing well
