Pola- so is it bad to drive with the windows in your car rolled down with the baby in it? I didn't know wind was bad for them. I'm glad I'm learning all this stuff!

not if it is very hot, just make sure they are not cold or in a draft

we sleep with a small window open but it is very mild at night still not cold at all

 

[JolleyGirl86]

Ok thanks babys should come with instruction manuals!

What is the normal temperature range for babies? Jaylies temp got up to 99.7 yesterday and it got me worried cause I thought that was kind if high. Today's it's been about 98.8 thankfully

 

[HHenderson]

Guess what ladies! I can lay on my side now and get up and out of bed without help.

I wish I had more time to catch up on here. My little monster is a boob sucking machine. I think it makes me more tired than I am, I want to pass out when she feeds for 40 mins +

She is so perfect. I know I know we all say that but she only cries when being changed if its cold or if I take too long to shove a boob in her mouth. At night I have to wake her up or she will sleep 4 hours.

When shes hungry my breasts start leaking real bad. its so weird!

Jolley, its so hot here that the windows would be fine. Its 90 today. Was she dressed in a lot of clothes/blankets and that warm? I think I would be concerned at 100 degrees prolonged or if she was acting lethargic or different.

It is official, my Raptor is lethal, he has hit 10 lbs. He also almost as long as his play gym and about too big for his newborn sized slippers. He is going to be tall.

hi everybody! trying to keep up but its hard! hope everybody is doing okay! sorry for all the baby blues, i seem to breakdown at least once a day if one little things stresses me out also.

my milk finally came in yesterday (I'm formula feeding so I'm guessing thats why it took so long?) well it wasn't very painful but i had a low grade fever with chills and flu like aches all over my body. Ibuprofen seemed to help break the fever but it came back twice already. is this all normal as your milk comes in and dries up?

also is anybody having a tough time with BMs? I was so constipated from the narcotics they gave me at the hospital for my csection, i ended up taking a laxative on sunday. I hadn't had a BM since the previous monday sorry for the TMI but i ended up clogging the toilet and OH had to plunge it because it hurt my incision too much to do it myself

funny! When the milk comes in you will get a low grade fever and flu like symptoms. If the fever is over 100 I think thats when your breasts could possibly be infected. I was told to take advil when mine hurt looked red and had a low grade 99.5, still have the low grade and its been 2 days now since it started. Pain went away thank God.

 

[HHenderson]

I tell you what ladies, it makes me so incredibly happy to look and see I have been breast feeding for 6 days. I have always wanted too and missed out with my first.

 

[JenzyKY]

Good job Henderson!! I need to get my one month blinkie

Scottish that is great !!!

Well I had a doctor appointment this morning for Ryan and I, doctor not happy with his Jaundice so I have to bring him to hospital for a blood test not looking forward to that at all!! make matters worse Hubby is run off his feet in work so is trying to get finished early so we can get going hospital is nearly an hour away! I asked him about the TT and he said they do not do any thing with it bloody hell!! they have no clue here seriously!!!!

also my poor little girl who was meant to start school today woke up and was not her self at all, she has no energy at all poor mite, I got her dressed thinking maybe it is nerves she then got sick in to her breakfast bowl so no schoold for her!! I am thinking it is more than a tummy bug her temp is up and her ear is hurting so have to get her to the doctor as well today

Oh I had a shocker of an evening last night, hubby had to work late! we thought till about 7pm but it was after 10pm which meant I had to shower, get books ready and sort out the kids on my own! but also meant I had to put Ryan down and he was not happy and cried so much which made me cry it was soooo hard! but we got through it and I enjoyed our cuddles before bed and he slept very well last night so that was nice

 

[mac1979]

Celtic-jaundice stinks, do you have a sunny window you could lay him near during the day, or is it warm enough to take him out in the yard in just a diaper to get some sunlight to help? We did that with Raptor.

My baby's feet are huge, he can't wear his newborn sized slippers anymore, his toes are right at the edge and his newborn socks are a little snug lengthwise. I have to keep something on his feet since they always get cold.

Are there any other college football fans on here (american football, not soccer football), I am kind of geeking out that my teams first game is this Saturday.

we do the sunny window and get out in the sun as well, its nice a warm still but not warm enough for just a nappy! I know with BF it takes longer to go so I am not to worried, it is just a pain when you have doctors freaking out! I will go tomorrow though and get it checked just in case

 

[pola17]

Celtic: sorry yesterday was a difficult day for you!

Babyhopes: hope your LO listens to mommy and comes out on due day!
