Baby hopes and amythest big hugs

Wow angel that sounds like heaven all that sleep. Glad shes good for you xx
Barhanita Hama also refuses to sleep longer than 3hours. Past few nights he's not fone longer than 2 hours and he doesn't Go to sleep until 12 - 12.30am am shattered zzzz

Yes, the sleep would be nice! I just have to stop waking every hour or so to check on her/just to look at her

Celtic - that is bloody awful about that poor baby. I agree- some people don't know they are blessed and I would go so far as saying don't even deserve children really hope baby is ok and that the parents pull their socks up!

Just been over to a neighbours house who invited all of us from our street who are friends (9 of us) for drinks and nibbles for a meet and greet Amelie. How lovely! They gave me nearly £100 in gift cards! My neighbours rock! It perked me up a bit

I can't work in the pediatric icu for the child abuse. . Unfortunately there's a ton of damage you can't see with shaking.

Yay for no phototherapy Celtic!!

Mac, Henry does that too sometimes.

 

[lolpants]

Going over due really sucks so I feel for you babyhopes!

What awesome neighbours you have Angel!!

Scottish I was told breast milk is equivalent to double formula.. so expressing 1.5oz is as good as giving 3oz of formula. I find with Melodys cluster feeds I have to end up giving her formula sometimes. .Don't beat yourself up about it

Celtic that's awful! !

So glad we get such good mat leave here!! Can't believe you're back so soon Bar!

Lol xx

 

[Barhanita]

First day at work.

ame: are u having sweep this week? i cant get one until 41+4

I really feel for you. I been here twice , had every one get on my tits about everything even the kids. Not good. Plus its hard seeing every one else with babies so I know how you feel. You have my every sympathy. I wont even say like it wont be long now, thats the worst line ever as it feels like the longest ever week. I just hand you come chocolate or something.

 

[JenzyKY]

Henry has eaten almost every hour today. It's kicking my butt. I don't know how some of you all do this every day. Props to those who deal with this every day.

DH just took my fussy raptor to give me a break. He has been fussing for the past hour and a half. No clue why. I am happy though, I got permission to get back to working out and I got the mirena put in, unfortunately I got my period 2 days ago so I have to wait to pounce on DH, so frustrating. The had me take a pregnancy test even though I said I hadn't had sex since I gave birth and was on my period.

 

[Barhanita]

Oh, they just trusted me that I didn't have sex. I am feeling pretty crampy today after Mirena.

Celtic that is just awful! I went through three losses and years of TTC to get my little miss Mack and although middle of the night becomes strenuous when I just want shuteye - there is no way I could shake her! Just feel bad when I can't figure out what's wrong. I've watched so many women on here and in my personal life struggle with TTC. It's sad that these people really have no IDEA how blessed they are.

My friend has four boys ages 1 to 10 from three different men and is pregnant with her fifth child - and is a year younger than me - I swear she gets pregnant just looking at a man! None of them were planned - and it made me so jealous! I don't judge her. She is who she is. But crazy!

Mack and I along with big sis Madi and DH went for a visit to the in-home daycare we selected and I feel even more relieved. She is only there two days a week thankfully my inlaws will watch her the other three - but I was so nervous. But after meeting with get again it made me feel much more calm about letting her care for my little one.

I think I'm about ready to give up breastfeeding. It's just not happening. I cannot produce enough to keep up with her demand. She empties both breasts (with a shield bc she won't latch otherwise) and then still needs more! It saddens me as I really wanted this bonding.

 

[JolleyGirl86]

Celtic that is horrible! That poor baby, it's so true some people take being able to have a baby for granted. Having 4 losses before finally getting Jaylie really opened my eyes to what a blessing and joy it is to be able to have a baby even though it can be really hard at times.

Mac Jaylie does that too

Bar cute pic

Jaylies poop is yellowish green. Is that normal? I know it's normal for it to be yellow mustard looking but not sure about the green

 

[JolleyGirl86]

Crystal sorry about your struggle. At least your able to give her some breastmilk which is good

 

[Barhanita]

Jolley, my doctor said that everything except black and red is normal: green, peach, orange. It might mean that she is getting a little too much foremilk or it might mean nothing.

Crystal, I am so sorry about the BF issues. It is so hard! I never-ever-ever thought that such a natural thing would be that hard.

Celtic, this is so horrible. And sad.

 

[Crystal5483]

Jolley -- Mackenzie's poop has never been anything BUT green and the doctor said it was perfectly fine!

And yes I feel as if something natural was supposed to be easy! It's hard when successful friends feel the need to ask you how it's going DAILY like they're rubbing it in your face that they did it just fine and you can't!!

 

[babyhopes2010]

Celtic: thats horrendous. poor baby

Me im still here. have a feeling itll be this weekend he will come. altho trying not to get my hopes up



to ladies struggling to bf. i gave up quickly with first so know how horrible it feels to not be able to xxx This time ill try my best and if it doesnt work out i hav epromised myself i wont beat myself up about it x

 

[Angelmarie]

for those with breast feeding issues. My first son was very prem so I expressed for the first few weeks. I did manage to feed him myself but it was often painful and I didn't go as long as I wanted. In hindsight I think it was due to him being so tiny and his little mouth couldn't latch right. But I was very naive at the time and it didnt occur to me that help might be available. I was disappointed do I can understand where you ladies are coming from. He turned out great though!

Fourth night in a row Amelie has slept 11-6ish, fed then slept again until 11am!!! I can't believe it! Feeling very lucky (and trying not to say to much lest she try to prove me wrong! )

 

[Barhanita]

Angel, that is amazing. How did you convince her? Right now it's 4 am, Lena is eating AGAIN, last time was at 2:30 am. And she behaves as if she never ate before... All I want is 4-hour stretch.. But I bet she'll be up at 6 or so.

 

[Angelmarie]

Honestly, I haven't instigated any routine! I feed on demand she has just set this pattern herself. She does tend to get quite fussy at about 9ish and feeds a LOT between then and 11 - like she's stocking up! she then falls asleep on my chest and I transfer her to her crib.

Sorry you're not getting much rest! It's no fun being up every two hours are you managing any daytime naps?

 

[Barhanita]

Well, I was back at work yesterday. But I sleep in the morning, when my DH is taking her. Lena did clusterfeed from 8-11:30 pm.. And I know she gets a lot of milk. I guess she just likes to eat. No wonder someone in a supermarket said "what a fat baby" the other day. My friend called her "wide".
