Cass Peppar has a cold too. Its awful isnt it? She has a horrible little cough too that I got all parnoid about. Me thinking the worst, googled Whooping cough! Why did I do that???
It clearing up now but she gets all stuffed up and gets frustrated when she is feeding. Its so cute though to see her getting ****ty about it.
Well touch wood but im thinkng we may have this baby thing down pact. She has pretty much set herself on four hourly and occasionally some longer stints over night.
One day is a more awake and a bit unsettled day then the next she is an angel and sleeps all day. And lots of lovely smiles
She is such a time waster and I love just talking to her and having her respond back to me. Her little coos are so cute and she smiles with her whole face, it cracks me up everytime.
Thrilled dont let MIL get to you. Im sure she didnt mean to upset you but shes a MIL thats their job
Seriously though she is your baby and you are the one that knows her best so thicken the skin love and tell her whats what!
She will probably get her knickers in knot with you but oh well, not your problem! She is the Grandmother you are the Mother.
I had the same kinda issues with mine with my first son and like you I didnt wanna rock the boat. But then I felt anxious around her and felt that she was always judging me.
So one day I lost the plot at her and told her politely back off. It went down like a cup of cold sick and she didnt talk to me for a while but eventually we came right and she kept her 5c to herself after that. Not all the time of course but it was much better.
Good luck and its great the DH supports you.
I am baking today as I confiscated chocolate off my children so I had better turn it into something or they are going to want it back.
They got so many eggs its not funny. Even Peppar got spoilt and my backside does not need the eggs on her behalf!
Cass its called fess little noses, its just saline and a little dropper to help get the naughtys out but it works.
Girls also, i just got some infacol to have here for bad bad nights ,it says the ingredient is
Simethicone which is the ingrediant in the adult wind tablet Degas, whic you can buy from your supermarket , i use it after every meal as i get really bad bloated tummy and wind and stuff it works soooo well for me i dont have any problems anymore, its safe during pregnancy breastfeeding and they even give it to dogs lol ..so i am guessing its safe for Hannah .
Just thought i would let u all know if you are having bad wind with your bubs
PS Feijoa lucky u with the feeds , we are still at every 2 hours Hannah is a short feeder who falls asleep there fore needs more feeds sigh we will get there
Ive been busy with family over easter and you ladies have racked up almost three more pages – oh my!!
Feijoa – Im planning a shop tomorrow for the same reason (decent tops to feed in that aren’t daggy!) and mum is coming along to assist with bubs. Should be fun.
I was also going to get some new bras (only have 2 at the moment which are a bit small, and with milk leakage they don’t always last a fully day). Any ideas how long my boobs will stay this size? They are still a bit bigger than during my pregnancy, but I don’t want to buy new bras and then in 2 wks my boobs start shrinking again and it’s a real waste… experienced mums please advise!
Roxxie – sorry to hear you are having a tough time – hope its all passed by now M2W – Im also struggling with the boy being demanding during the day. He wont sleep unless im holding him (or laying on me) and is barely sleeping from 6am – midday so my mornings are pretty much a write off. Gosh I hope this pattern changes at 6wks!
Thrilled – ive just ordered myself a breast pump so hopefully that will speed up the expressing process will let you know!
Just read your Easter post – OMG that is horrendous and you have everyright to be upset. My MIL is testing me a lot to (she did controlled crying and was to lazy to breastfeed) but nothing this bad. If I was you I would have demanded she hand over YOUR baby (probably while crying). Do what you need to assert yourself, and maybe DH needs to chat to his mum and layout some ground rules???
Cass – Im still feeding in bed but just grab an extra pillow, half sit up/ lay back and feed away. That way I can still rest and be a bit sleepy and just lay bubs back down again after he finishes. I just find that once a night a need to get-up and walk him to sleep, but the rest of the time he just dozes right back to the land of nod for a few more hours.
Jandals – hows the boob change-over going? Sometimes the little man falls asleep before getting to the second side (annoying for me as he then wants to feed again in under an hour) so its not perfect.
Shell – that must have been scary. I gave Ciaran a tiny bruise on his arm taking his seat belt off, and felt bad for 2 days looking at that, so can imagine how you feel.
Other news:
I haven’t had Ciaran weighed for 2 weeks – is that bad? He is clearly putting on a lot of weight (getting chubby!) so no concerns about milk supply here thankfully.
My dad, brother and sister in law have just gone home after being here since the Thursday before Easter. It was sooo lovely to have them all here (they live interstate) and what a blessing having people to pass the baby to when in need a break! DH is still off work for another week, but still sometime we are both wanting to do things and only one can due to bubs wanting attention/grumbling so with others here it was SO EASY to pass him over for cuddles and was the easiest 5 days ive had in ages…. Now they are gone im sad and scared.
The other good news is I have been brave and ventured out in the last week for dinner (at a restaurant) twice, and most days with the sling/pram for a walk and social time with the family.
My earlier fears about taking bubs out at night have passed, so it’s a relief to have done it a few times and had good results (he slept most of the time!)
PS – No Easter Eggs in our house this weekend, Easter seemed a non-event with all of our focus on family and baby!
It went down like a cup of cold sick and she didnt talk to me for a while but eventually we came right and she kept her 5c to herself after that. Not all the time of course but it was much better.
Hannah is a short feeder who falls asleep there fore needs more feeds sigh 
we will get there
