Bella, sorry you're in pain! :hugs:

I think I missed a lot during the weekend and it's so hard to catch up!

What's up girls? How was your weekend? :flower:
 
Hey Pola :hugs:

I think the baby blues have caught up with me :dohh: yesterday and today I have had a few moments hope they pass soon :nope: :nope: last night was a shocker of a night! went to bed at 11 .30 Ryan woke at 1.30 and cluster fed ontill 5am we then got a little sleep till 7.30am and back to cluster feeding again! can not complain to much though he was doing great up till last night!

had loads todo today as well so no nap might get to bed early if I am lucky :flower:
could not even go for a nap waiting on the health nurse to come to weigh Ryan he has not reached his birth weight yet 7 pounds 8 today I was sure he would have reached it by now.
 
Eurgh that sounds rough celtic. I'm getting my best sleep as soon as I go to bed and then it feels like he feeds every two hours there after. Last night it didn't help that Paige was up twice too.

I have to confess that at nap time today I let him sleep on his front with the movement monitor on and we all got a solid two hour nap. :blush:

How are all the mums using cloth getting on? I'm constantly on the edge of running out of nappies waiting on them to dry. :dohh:

I put Ryan on his side as he hates his back but trun him when he is more settled as long as your watching him:thumbup:

Hey ladies, I think my baby is a little congested. His breathing is a little louder than normal and feeding takes longer since he has to take time to breath. I am going to put him in his crib later with a humidifier on, but does anybody have any other tips for getting him better. He was also Mr McFusserson with fussy pants last night so neither of us got much sleep.

Sooz-Raptor just started fitting into his clothe diapers last week, we got some Bum Genius 4.0 which fit well. I am just having an issue with our prefolds and covers since they seem really bulky when I trifold them to put them on. I need to find other ways to fold and use them. We also use disposables at night to take the weight off washing the cloth ones until I get the hang of the prefolds.

I use saline drops for quick relief but a humidifier will help it as well :thumbup:
 
Guys who are still waiting, I understand it must feel awful seeing all is with our baby's but enjoy the last few days of pregnancy! Xxx :hugs:

Ugh sorry yous had rough night sooz and Celtic, it's v tiring these first few weeks!

I have hama at tongue tie clinic tomorrow and I am really hoping they will sort it as I think I may have to make the hard decision to give up bf as its just to hard. He now has 3 bottles of formula a day. The reason is because he actually never stops feeding only cat naps for 10-20 mins when bf and I am unable to do anything as he crys for more and I know he's hungry :( it's breaking my heart but I am at a loss. I do pump while he gets a bottle but can barely pump more than an ounce from both breasts. I think cos he is eating constantly my boobs only make small amounts of milk every hour or so. I gave him 3oz formula at 4pm and he's been sleeping since!

Can I ask how long are your lo's going between feeds? Xxx
 
I've had to order vest extenders because of the bulk of our fitteds and wraps, we were getting some wicking at the sides even though I'm using 0-3 vests, they're just too tight!

I have five fleece fitteds which dry in an hour or so as emergency nappies but I've ordered a few more. Ideally I want to wash every third day not every other.
 
It's hard to say with Mason because he cluster feeds but I'd say on average 2 hours max, but maybe 3 if we're out or the first part of the night. I tried to give him am expressed bottle last night but he wasn't having any of it. :roll:

I've completely forgotten how to give a baby a bottle. :blush:

I hope all goes well at the clinic tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be a turning point for you guys. :hugs:
 
My daughter feeds every two hours in the daytime. Midnight to morning she will go 3.5 he's once.
 
Hey Celtic! :hugs: sorry you're having the baby blues!

Mac: I'm having the same problem! I clean his nose, and congestion returns! :dohh:
 
Celtic that sounds like my LO with the cluster feeding!! sorry to hear you have the blues :(
Today is a good day for a bday, is it a bank holiday there too?

Lol xx
 
Henry goes up to 5/6 hours sometimes between feeds. Occasionally only an hour inbetween during the day but averages 3 hours. He gained to 8 lb 9 oz with clothes on today so he's getting plenty. Everyones posts about constant feeding and no sleep made me worry.... Sometimes he just wants to suck though so I give him a paci. He has a yeast diaper infection and cradle cap on his head though. :-(. Hoping to clear them both soon!!

Mac, a steamy bathroom can help too.
 
Jaylie wants to eat every 1-2 hours day or night. Occasionally she will go 3 hours but not usually
 
I really wish my boy went at least 1-2 hours between feeds :( only formula gets him a good 3 hour until next feed.
 
She's gorgeous HH!

My cheeky chap today:

Jenzy Isabela is like that too... She eats every 3 hours during the day and has her last feed at 9:30 then wakes up at 2 to eat and then wakes up at 6... She also has been gaining weight well so I am not worried she doesn't get enough... I give her her paci also when she only wants to suck...

Celtic I hope you feel better soon :hugs:

HH she's beautiful!!!
