I'm going to the docs tomorrow for constipation (could that count for not having the strength to push one out? Lol) midwife said if I haven't gone by Friday I need to see doc.

Lennies feeding has been all over the place today from 2pm he was feeding every hour but not for very long. It's only just now I've managed to get a feed for 25 minutes into him.

He also has lots of spots! Ive read it's to do with hormone changes from the birth, and I think my milk, when it spills over his face, hasnt helped either.

Lennies cord came off today! It was a bit infected, so I'm glad it finally off. Couldn't keep it though like I did with dd cos it just looked wet and it smelt

Today is the first day I have actually felt ok! I've done some housework too. Lol. X

boys cords always go manky i think its cus they pee upwards , both my boys were infected but hollys came off on day 3 clean as a whistle ..idk !

constipation .. well ive been ok in that department until last 2 days i can only do half a poo at a time (tmi lol ) so my tummy hurts a bit .

holly has just fed for 45 mins non stop gave her to her dad to get her dressed for bed and she is begging for more ..lets hope it means i get some sleep ...wishful thinking ?

oh wow, I didnt know that about the cord. Makes me feel less guilty I was doing something wrong.

I've just fed Lennie again. lol, same thinking he's stocking up for bed! My nipples are feeling much better now so I don't dread the feeds. x

Hi girls glad every one is well they all look super cute now they are less rinkley looking lol.

Hope the rest of the poor overdue feb mummies go soon.

We had 1st HV appointment today Grrrr she pissed me off talking to me like i dont know what i am doing on baby number 4 !!!! she told me not asked but told me i would be having a weaning visit when he is 4 months old , I dont think so lady !!!.

As for weight not sure how much he weighs until tomorrow when MW comes for final visit she discharged us other day to HV but said as he was still just under birth weight to come check it tomorrow sure he has gained though

.

Glad every ones little bundles are sleeping well Corey does 9pm till 4am every night has since day 2.

I am totally shattered tho as my other little boy (The one that was in hospital in december) Is real real poorly again on sofa bad chest had his inhaler and keeps been sick really really dont want to have him admitted again just so hard with a 2 week old baby aswell bless him really feel for him xxxx

evewidow · Feb 17th, 2011, 15:48 PM

aww mummymadness hope he feels better soon it must be hard work.

a weaning visit - wtf .. i hope i dont get that , i cant stand our local hv they came once with ds2 and i never bothered letting them in again lol .

winegums · Feb 17th, 2011, 16:00 PM

weaning visit? never heard of that one :S never liked any of my mws or hvs last time round but so far this time they seem to be lovely - although now i've said that....... lol!

mummymadness · Feb 17th, 2011, 16:58 PM

Thanks girls i hope Oscar perks up soon i hate to see him ill its only when he is bad its real hard on us him and the other kids

.

Yes aparently all Mothers need to know how to wean there children on to solida at 4 months (Well since i will not be weaning till at least 6 she can feck off) You honestly would not believe i had 4 children the way she went on today about temps and hats and mittens like i was a prat. xxxxxx

winegums · Feb 17th, 2011, 17:54 PM

Some of them are idiots they asked me why my son wasn't on solids at 5 months last time, she was like 'what not even rusks??!!' lol

wiiwidow · Feb 17th, 2011, 21:51 PM

Ha my hv was too much too - what is it do you think it's in the job description or something. I was glad I was bf cos I dread to think what shed have been like if I wasn't. She was so bloody militant. Talked at me for half an hour didn't let me say a word about how I was feeling etc i.e blues and stuff and then left. Honestly a waste of a visit tbh.

O was fine and am lucky he is gaining weight. But we've had a few rough nights with him. Last night he pretty much screamed all night in pain. I think he had a bad tummy but it was so awful. So tired tonight that OH had to give him some formula just so I could sleep.

Hey ladies

how are you all????

God i am sick of feeling like a walking dummy! Dustin has been feeding every hour today!! SOOOO frustrating. i am not able to re-fil (so to speak lol) and i am not feeling the let down anymore.... i am worried that i am not getting enough to him and that is why he is feeding so often! grrr i hate this breast feeding thing

i dont really but god it is frustrating at times! i wish it was a little easier at times

Dustin is growing up so much! Changing every day..... He is now 6 days old and he has already lost his cord

Thank god.. there is nothing worse i dont think

Yuckies!!!!!!!

How is everyone doing with their sleeping etc?
