Traylee - i'm with pmc, just make sure she is having enough wet nappies and is mainly content.
PM - Phoebe is the same the reflux is shocking during the day but she sleeps really well at night.
JLeigh - I bet you never thought you would fine someone elses poo interesting hey! lol
Thanks for all the well wishes with my rash. I thought I was better but I get up this morning and it is back! The only thing I think it could be is my body wash. I have never had hives like this before. I went from red spots to full on joined welts to a purple rash. I look like a leper. Also the daytime drugs they gave me do nothing so I took one Phenergen so have been dopey today. On the upside P seems to be sleeping well cause of it! I have done a heap of cleaning for my house inspection Monday, so am a bit tired!
What does everyones bubs weigh now? Phoebe is 5.95gm at 11 weeks! I can't believe how quickly my little bubba is growing. Also how is the breastfeeding for everyone going?
-
Evening everyone
Marni - what a bummer that the hives haven't cleared up yet. What body wash are you using, there are some that make me break out in a rash and super itchy but never hives yet (touch wood)
Traylee - how is S going today? She having enough wet nappies?
Jleigh - who would of thought onions would give B green poo but as long as he's happy and doesn't have a sore belly. YAY for an easy transition into his cot.
PM - how is E doing now after her needles? Hope she's starting to perk up, though the sleepy side effect isn't all bad lol
Caplay - hope your doc appt on Tues goes well and M gets some medication to help her reflux.
Spewing - A isn't a chucker, we've had a couple of decent spews but most she gets the excess milk dribble out the side of her mouth.
Weight - Two and a half weeks ago A was about 4.7kgs, she really seems to have had a growth spurt past week or so. Might do an estimate weigh on our scales at bath time to see but I reckon she's now over the 5kg mark.
Breastfeeding - I did my first public BF in a cafe on Wed arvo mothers group, followed up with another yesterday in a snobby shopping centre when I had lunch with my friend. It doesn't really phase me anymore. A is a power drinker, her feeds are over in about 10-15mins max.
Question - do you still attach your littlies on your breast or do you let them do it themselves? I find A gets on nearly first go now by herself, I still do it sometimes when she gets it a little wrong and it hurts.
Hello to BW, Tiff, Socks, Tina, Sleepy and anyone else I've missed.
Well DH has been 4 days now and we're coasting along. After being so unsettled on Tues night, Wed was a little better but yesterday I'm sure someone kidnapped and swapped my baby lol I managed to get her bathed without her usual hissy fit, fed and down to bed (awake when put down) without so much as a squeak out of her until 6am this morning. She's been good today and I've got her down for a nap before I go out to a friends place for dinner tonight.
Take care everyone and have a great weekend

i got scarlet weighed today she was 5.14kgs, so gain of 580grams in 2 weeks,
i am not sure about wet nappies as yet cause she had a wet one this morning, (not her first but second one )
and then next was poo so couldnt tell, and next was po and couldnt tell, and now she is alseep and has been for ages lol so i will no when she wakes up,
mmmm i hope she has wet in her poo when i changed them what would stop her weeing if she is feeding normally she isnt unhappy she has been happy the last 2 days
-
Our bubbas sure are growing!
Breastfeeding - I feed pretty much anywhere now. The way I see it if I was hungry/ thirsty I would eat or drink so why shouldn't she? With attaching I pretty much let her go at it and she gets herself on! I have another that feeds in 15 mins or so too.
BW - How are you going with the relactating?

Hi all
Weight- I weighed May a few days ago and she was 4.79kg she is averaging about 200-250grms a week which i think is good have gotta get an appointment to see the health nurse soon though forgot again today to ring every time i ring no one answers thank goodness i got my own scales to weigh her she has grown so much and she is long some 000 all in ones just fit and she will most likely only wear some things once.
Traylee- maybe next nappy change there wont be poo there and you should be able to tell how wet her nap is.
Pheonix- isnt strange how they can change so quick Mays so unpredictable enjoy your dinner tonight.
Jleigh- Thats good B has made the transition to the cot so smoothly hope M is the same when the time comes we have some serious re organising before then though.
PM- Yes enjoy it while it lasts hope you got the things done you wanted to and E sleeps well for you tonight.
Hi to everyone else
We have had a shocker of a day i slept in again cause i was so tired now we are back to the 3:30-4:00am feed and then the whole job of getting her settled again am glad it is the weekend no school thank goodness guess i am lucky i got up this morning and the kids were already dressed had breakfast i am glad they can be independent like that the 2 older ones helps alot.
May has been unsettled all day damn reflux i am counting the days till tuesday i have been pucked on i dont know how many times today i have lost count and the smell poor little thing.and things are made harder as she wont be put down she dosent like to amuse herself she is only happy in my arms or over my shoulder or in my lap she hates the rocker to.
She has cat napped all day on and off everytime i pick her up she just wants to burp or spew she hasnt had a decent sleep today at all i am hoping tonight she does she has been taking alot to get settled again lately so not getting as much sleep as i was she was sleeping right through but thats gone out the window now again but anyway could be worse i guess.
DD3 has been a real toddler the last few days to getting into everything she is not supposed to and the tantrums have started to so lots of fun there with her atm to.
Looking forward to mums arrival tommorrow and to top it all off i have a sore shoulder and can hardly move my arm.
Anyway good thing today i got my slow cooker and am looking forward to using it but cant decide what to try first so many yummy things to have.
Ok enough babbling better go sorry to go on just been one of them days today hopefully tommorrow is better.
takecare everyone and have a good night.
-
does anyone use babylove nappies, od they have wetness indicator,
she has been asleep for ages lol so i wont no till she wakes up, she went down at 5, i hope she wakes before i go to sleep she hasnt been changed since like 3.30ish i feel bad
-
Cap - Oh you poor thing! Its so difficult when they are like that. Even on Phoebe's bad days she is better than Tiana was on a great day so I do know how you feel. Hopefully the dr will help you on Tuesday. Only a few more days! P is on the Losec tablets now, the Zantac just wasn't cutting it anymore. It has only been a day though so I am sure it will improve soon. I also feed her upright on my lap. And she does have days where she just wants to be help. Tues was one of them. Have fun with your slow cooker though!
Traylee - We use Huggies. Do you wake her and change and feed before you go to bed? Thats what I do in the hope that she sleeps longer and it generally works?
-
Hi all. I haven't been getting notifications. :( I just had to read 2 pages to catch up. Lol. But seeing as it's so early, it'll just be q quick one for now. We have a huge day today. We going to see DH's grandma who lives 2 house away. Plus we not staying over night so we gotta drive home later on too.
I bought a 5L slow cooker from K-Mart, the home maker brand for $35. Pretty cheap. But works a treat!
Elijah can attach himself for feeds, when his hands are not in his face. Lol. He tends to want to suck them so I have to move them sometimes.
How are your hives marni? Hope you're feeling better!
Swaddlng - I still wrap E! He won't sleep unless I do. Just use normal bunny rugs. But they work fine.
Hope everyone has a great weekend, and hopefully be back tomorrow to update properly. Xox
-
hi marni no way i dont beleive in waking babies or doing a dream feed i think when they hungry they wake on there own its the only way they break the habit themselves i believe.
anyways she slept from 5pm till 3am, then tilll 7 but only woke at 7 cause we had to put her in her capsule to take her father to be dropped off with the catamaran he is goin sailing on fraser for a few days with his friend and camping
she had a soaking wet nappy lol, and i fed her at 8am and she was wet again so thats good tryin to get her off to sleep now :)
-
Afternoon all how has your day been so far?
Sleepy- hope you have a great day out i looked at k-mart and sore those slow cookers but they had none on the shelf we ended up going to retravision and got a 6L kambrook for $55 were originally $79.95 not on special havent used it yet though maybe tommorrow.
Traylee- thats good S had some good soaking nappies.
Hi to everyone else.
We had a fantastic night just what i needed May was fed at 9:00pm asleep by 10:15pm i was in bed by 11:00pm and she slept till 8:00am this morning which was fantastic last few nights she had been waking at 3:30-4:00am see she is just full of suprises and so unpredictable then this morning i got welcomed with a big puke all over me once again (lovely) and she has been a different baby today sleeping alot better reflux seems to be not as bad today thank goodness.
But Little miss toddler is not well getting teeth i think and very clingy and sooky so if it isnt one it is the other lol.
And i think AF is just around the corner have had a few cramps last couple days went to toilet this morning and was abit of spotting so any day now i think (damn) not looking forward to it returning but i spose the time has to come
question when it is your first period back after having a baby do you use tampons or pads?
anyway have spent all morning washing,pegging,drying,folding and still have plenty more so better get back to it before mum arrives.
Have a good weekend takecare
-
cap i no what u mean about AF, mine returned yesterday but i suspected it to be coming soon enough, as the tues before i had so much ewcm lol so i new it would be coming,
is it meant to be heavier the first return after bubs, as mine is bit heavier than it was before getting pregnant thats all
yea scarlet has had lots of wet ones today, well not lots but eveyr change so thats good,
hubby has gone off sailing i miss him lots lol, so does hayley, she keeps sooking, but we made ginger bickys today to keep busy and i cleaned up abit, did some washing
i found headlice in hayleys hair ugh so had to put some kero in it and use the comb to get it all out, then sent her to shwoer and was the smell out a few times lol
i so hate headlice im so over it, she onl got them when she started school
i have tried the tea tree oil ion her, sorbeline cream, baby oil, hairspray lots and nothign works to keep the buggers away so over it hey, as soon as i see one egg or nit i do her hair why cant other parents do the same thing
-
Traylee AF has always been heavier first time back for me but i am hoping this time it wont be so bad when it properly comes havent had anything else today now so not sure whats going on its on its way though maybe tommorrow.
ARAHHHH headlice i hate them to we have been lucky to only have them twice well the 2 older kids but they are rageing through the schools here always are i just take the precautions to prevent them getting them and havent had them for awhile now i just use the treatment if they do get them and then comb all the little buggers out the eggs that is it is such a chore.
I agree you just wish other parents would do the right thing to.
-
yea and now i gotta keep combing her hair eveyr 2 days to break the cycle thats the only way to kill them off for a while, i just use do it in shower with the comb and conditioner and keep doin it, its so annoying, and worst off hope i dont have them troy isnt here to check wont be back till mon :(. we miss him so much lol hard when ur use to someone being around all the time
-
Traylee yeah i have been lucky to never have them thank goodness as it would take a lot to get them out of my hair it is so thick.
I cant stand to be away from my DP either i get lonely if he goes anywhere troy will be back before you know it.
have a nice night.
-
hey all
just a quick qu - how long were your babies affected by the needles? E has had 2 shocker unsettled nights but wanted to sleep all day (up until thurs we had a pretty good routine and awesome nights). She's also got a bit of a cold and we found out the rash on her face is eczema so i've been putting hydrocortisone on it to clear it up. I wonder how much of her sleepiness is due to the needles.
Fingers crossed we have a good night tonight but I have barely been able to keep her awake for feeds today so she's been asleep most of the day so I fear tonight may be bad again.
-
PM all babies are different but i remeber with our 1st DD she would be unsettled for a week after having needles May was worse 2-3days after her needles and then came good again it could also be from her cold hopefully you have a better night tonight.
-
thanks caplay, i can't remember what A was like after her needles but she was a pretty unsettled bub all round at this age. Fingers crossed all her sleep today has hit reset :)
-
