hi all and happy sunday, quick post so here goes . . .
sunshine, good uck on the sleep thing. Happy to hear all is well! Hang in there!
svet, how are you?
MA, Jo is queen of the flailing arms and knuckle suck, totally normal,but as svet suggeted, the flailing arms might wake her up so i'd swaddle her when sleeping to keep her feel safe. As for colic, it's actually not a disease but a name given to a bunch of sympotms that no one really knows what causes. At least that's the way I read it. A lot of babiies get gas so do some sluthing on reducing gas and ways to help her feeel better if she has it. Examp., burping often, keep her up right for 20 min after feeding, elevate her bed a little at the head. Then for relief, moving her legs, rubbing her belly, putting a warm towl on her stomach, stomach massage. As for pumping, I still don't have any extra milk, it dpepends on person to person, but give it some time. I have heard it takes around 6-8 weeks for mom and baby to get on the same page milk wise. Your body is still getting used to providing, patience.
Lava, how was the birthing class? Did your DH get to watch his game?
AFM, girl doing better. Drugs are helping, but she's still fussy. Took her for first walk in a stroller today. Had to bundle her up as it was 35 degrees with snow fluries! Anyway, five weeks in and getting into a routine. When will she seep for more than four hours??? Hope everyone had a good weekend! Anna
