PB - sorry hon, just realised I'd left you off my post! Things sound wonderful at your end! Lottie looks adorable in your ticker, would love to see more pics of her. She sounds like a little angel! Which formula are you using and how much and how many feeds? We are topping up with S26 Gold. Izzy lives it but we haven't tried anything else. No point changing a good thing I guess! Izzy's eyes are a dark grey too so we are thinking theyllbe dark brown eventually as both DH and Ihave dark brown eyes. Can't wait to see how they turn out and how her hair turns out too for that matter! DH and I both have brown hair and were both born dark but both went blonde until we were 3 so anything is possible for Isobel I guess!

Well after my whinge about Izzy not sleping well during the day, she ended up sleeping for 4 hours this afternoon! Woohoo! The bottle of formula must have hit the spot for her.

Must run. I have a snoozy bubs in my arms. Night all!

Hey there, we're feeding with nestle nan 1ha gold and at this stage she's still on 6 feeds a day of between 120ml to 180ml depending on the time of day (the last feed of the day is usually a big one). She seems to like it and no problems so far

My supply is pretty much gone. I have her one last breast feed even though she didn't get much. I felt very sad bf wasn't 100% sucessful for me but I have to move on..

As you can see Lottie has a massive amount of hair! I was exactly the same when I was born and mines very very thick so I know that's what she's probably in for as well! lol

My eyes are hazel and DH dark blue so it will be interesting to see what will happen but I'm thinking more like mine at this stage as I would have thought they'd be really blue by now.

Hope everyone's doing well!

Hi

We are using Nestle HA Gold too, apparently I have been told that this is the closest formula to breastmilk as the proteins are broken down. Not that any formula is comparable to breastmilk.

Indigo's eyes are still very blue so Im thinking they will stay that way. Zanders are blue and Wyatts are brown...Dh is brown and Im blue. Interesting considering blue is the recessive gene.

Hi everyone!!! Sorry I have been MIA for what seems like aaaaaaaages!!! We've been busy with Jackson and when I think I have 5 minutes I get busy doing something. You know what its like lol

Taurena and Sangie Im pleased your boobies are better and the Mastitis has cleared. I also had mastitis and know its not terribly pleasant

Jackson and I are going well. Jackson is generally a very pleasant and content baby and is feeding generally 3 hourly. Sometimes he may go half an hour either side of that but for the most part he is 3 hourly. He is a great night sleeper too, thankfully. He generally cluster feeds from 6 - 9pm and is then down to sleep from 9pm to 3am. We are very lucky

Yesterday we had Jackson's 2 month jabs. Thankfully Dh took him in for them but I could still hear him crying from outside the surgery And I still managed to cry when I went to rescue him and give him booby Gawd I hope it gets easier as he gets older Then last night he was really unsettled which got me upset because he was probably in a bit of pain from the jabs argh it breaks my heart but its a necessary evil!!! I eventually gave in and DH gave him some paracetmol and he was much better after that so we'll be doing that next time if he is the same. Thankfully he has been much better today

I hope everyone else is going well? I have finally managed to update our list except for a few that I am unsure of the details. I hope I have everyone's details correct. Let me know if not

Brisbany ladies, I'd be keen for a catch up too. I dont mind when or where except I dont have a car at the moment as DH was in an accident yesterday (he's ok thankfully) so now we are 1 car down until its fixed.

Gah that post took me 2 hours to type up and post lol. Jackson did the biggest poo explosion and I needed to get in the shower too

Just a quickie while she has her eyes closed.

I have given up on trying to give her a bottle - after trying 4 diffrent brands with the "new and you beaut teats" she wont touch any of them. Looks like I am breastfeeding solely...would have been nice though to give my boobs a break!

We took V's brace off today - a week early but her hips are fine and I was really concerned as it had been cutting off circulation to her legs and has broken capillaries in her legs and has left nasty looking marks - I hope they fade in time.
So I can actually see what a baby feels like! She is super floppy...moving heaps more. I swear she tried to crawl! So strange.

Eyes are open and crying - gotta run

Hi ladies, just a quick question. Is everyone waiting for bubs 8 week jabs to get their and DP's whooping cough booster? I was thinking of going earlier but wasn't sure.

Wen't to visit the MW that delivered Frazer today. She was so touched that we came to visit that I'm really glad we went. We had a good chat about what happened post birth as she kinda wasn't kept in the loop. She thinks that I should have a good chance at a natural birth next time and says the likely hood of having the same side affect from the epi would be very slim. Good news if I go that way next time.

She weighed Frazer as well. I guessed he'd be pushing 6 kgs.... He was 6.08kg with clothes, official weight is 5.92kgs! Which is still heavier than his 13 wk old cousin!!! Holy Moley!!
