i say 2/3 weeks but thats me.Ashton has been on sma for 2 and has got worse so i know its time to switch x

 

[Eoz]

how long should we give them on a certain type of milk before changing it? i mean does it take a while to get into their system?

sorry for sounding thick, the formula thing is all new to me

and me!all mine were boob fed x

 

[Lollip0p]

I was breast feeding Kaiya too, but I just wasnt producing enough milk for her, and she was feeding every hour for 20 mins, but after 40 mins to an hour she wanting feeding again, and i was just so drained, so we made the decision to move her onto formula, as we wanted whats best for her. she was only breast fed for 2 weeks, broke my heart moing her onto formula.

she has only been on formula for 8 days, so i might give it till the weekend, and see if its any better

I take my hat off to you Zoe, I am finding it hard with one baby that wants feeding and cuddles constantly. So I totally admire you and anyone else with more than one child, you all must be super woman. x

Lollipop I have moved Avalon on to Aptamil after a week and a bit on c+g and it seems to be suiting her. Their poos should be yellowy like chicken korma. Avalon was constipated but yesterday she had 3oz of water and a tiny dash of oj in it spred out throughout the day and then hallelujah she pooed and slept for 6 hrs from midnight till 6am. I was so happy and she was much more relieved.

If your lo is feeding that much she could need hungry baby milk. Might be worth asking health visitor

Morning ladies (wowie! nearly 1000 Pages already!!!)

Had a MW appt. this morning. (now 3 days "overdue").

I am 50% effaced/thinned (up from 0% 3 weeks ago)
I am nearly 2CMs dilated (up from 1-1.5cm from 3 weeks ago)
I am stationed at -1 (up, or should i say "down" from -3, three weeks ago)

SO progress is def. being made!! just hope i go into labor soon!!!! (especially since today would be my *technical* due date if they would have based it off ovulation)

 

[vespersonicca]

I think it's safe to say I will soon be announcing the birth of another August baby! Contractions (the first of the whole pregnancy) have started and only gotten worse. I started losing plug too within the hour. Since I was due last Saturday already I think I have permission to start getting a little excited at last.

to all in waiting! Especially those past due!

so exciting!!!!
How far apart and how long are contractions lasting now? Hope you have a quick labor and delivery!

 

[vespersonicca]

Haven't been timing for a while but 6ish minutes maybe? I'm still coping well but definitely needing to breathe deeper and occasionally concentrate. I'll see how long I can play my video game before I just keep getting game over...

 

[Guppy051708]

EK! Im so happy for you!!!! COME ON CONTRACTIONS!!!

Hello ladies

Just a quick question for me for anyone who can help; does the mucus plug have to come out all in one? I thought I lost it a few weeks back but today there is like an insane amount of mucusy stuff being lost! (sorry TMI).
I also had one streak of bright red blood which I presumed was the start opf my bloody show, but no blood since then, just loads of snotty mucus?

Any help much appreciated
x x

10 days old, and I am on my own today for the first time. That's with a 7 and 5 year old too. It's just morning here and so far it's going pretty good actually (touch wood). Silly question...when does a baby start smiling, like intended smiles?

 

[daniellelk]

well as every day passes it's looking like i'm going to be having a September star...I'v not caught up on all the page's i'v missed

 

[Blob]

what is it i need it badly lol

I'll ask its just one of my friends has just moved her LO onto it and says its a bonus as you get it perscribed and its free

 

[Guppy051708]

rainbows, you can loose pieces or lose all of it in one chunk. I lost the majority of mine at 37+3 (it can grow back tho! ) Then i lost a HUGE chunk of it again at 39+6. I would guess since your so far and that there was blood that you got the bulk of it

Just got done timing 5 in a row. They were all 1 minute long and always 4.5 minutes apart. I guess I'm consistent. Interesting that they are already under 5 minutes apart since they say you should go to the hospital then. I'm coping just fine at home... maybe I should go take a nap?
