Whisper, sorry you're having a hard time missing your family, I find it hard missing my mum when Ruaridh gives me a hard time and she's only 6 miles away!
Out of curiosity, what is everyone actually DOING with their babies?? Ru is 3 weeks old now and is starting to be more awake but still sleeps loads between feeds/changes and I haven't the first idea about how you're meant to have a "bedtime" for newborns etc.
Had to do my second trip to the pharmacy for him today too to pick up Nystatin mouth drops for mouth thrush, so now he's to take that 4x a day, get cream applied for his bum thrush twice a day and have Infacol before every feed to help him give up his wind. I'm just glad his gunky eye cleared up so he didn't have to get eye drops too...
Girls, I'm so down. Harry has hardly fed all day, and was working himself into a frenzy. My milk came in yesterday and they became really engorged this afternoon because they weren't being used. I keeps trying him, but I think they were too hard for him. I had to pump/hand express some and am just finishing him with the bottle of it.
I feel so guilty.
Midwife is coming tomorrow. I'm hoping tomorrow will be happier.
Midnight has Jades chord fallen off yet? Rubys has but she has been left with this big scab inside her belly button and with the girls there just come clean away. But I think Ribys looks sore, I have to fold the nappy down or it makes her scab bleed.
