you need at least one copy though as the one they give you is basic and is useless as a legal document. The copies are completely different and more detailed! I got 2 copies both times.

Harrison isnt quite a dream baby! lol We have a awkward time between 7pm and 9pm every night, hes ok if hes getting cuddles but wont settle if put down.
We didnt need to take anything to register the birth, just provided the info verbally, we got 3 extra copies
Just sent off for child benefit too, might as well apply, we pay enough tax!

Need help ladies!!!
Been pumping breast milk from the beginning, every 4 hours or so except during the night. Never had any problems.
Just now, 4.5 hours after my last session in which I got 4 ounces, I pumped and didn't even get half an ounce out of both boobs. What's happened? Please don't tell me I'm drying up 4 days after I bought my own pump.
Has anyone had a bad pumping session only to have things pick up at the next one? What can I do to help?

Aah sorry Sherri I'm not sure! Only just started pumping myself so I'm a beginner. Hope you find the answer. Maybe there's something you ate or some stress that made your supply dip - sounds unlikely that it would be permanent give your supply is normally good.

wow our birth certs cost $28 and I still haven't received mine. Although I shouldn't complain we do get the baby bonus which works out to be about $5500 over 13 fortnights and because DH has such a crappy wage we aldo get $440 a fortnight in family benefit. so lucky because we would be living off 2 minute noodles otherwise!
Well done on all the weight gain, its so good to see so many healthy babies.
There seems to be a lot of stubborn thrush around, Billy's isn't bad but it doesn't seem to be going anywhere in a hurry either.
Sherri I hope it was just a one off for you, but if it is the start of a supply issue there is lots you can do. I am in the process of re lactating so building my supply from 5mls each breast to so far at about day 5 I got just over 15mls each side!
Fenugreek is really good for supply which I currently take 3 times a day and yesterday I made lactation cookies which are also supposed to help. If they don't then its no loss as they are yummy! Oats are also good for supply. You may need to try and express a little more frequently for 48 hrs which I know may not be possible as we have other things to do in our lives. I am only expressing 3 hrly during the day but try and have lots of skin to skin and nipple stimulation between expressing.
hopfully it was just a one off or maybe a low time of day!
For anyone interested Lactation cookies! Yummy
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
4 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons flax seed meal (also known as linseed)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups oats
1 cup chocolate chips (I used white and dark)
2 -4 tablespoons brewer's yeast
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°.
Mix the flaxseed meal and water and let sit for 3-5 minutes.
Beat butter, sugar, and brown sugar well.
Add eggs and mix well.
Add flaxseed mix and vanilla, beat well.
Sift together flour, brewers yeast, baking soda, and salt.
Add dry ingredients to butter mix.
Stir in oats and chips.
Scoop onto baking sheet.
Bake for 12 minutes.
Let set for a couple minutes then remove from tray.
As for me my little mad has a cold
I ended up sleeping on the couch so I could sit upright with him and DH could get a little unbroken sleep before work.
Billy took really well to the breast yesterday and was happy to nurse 2 hrly, perhaps because hes not feeling well. This morning tho he is not interested at all, oh well must persist.
Hope everyone managed some little stints of sleep!!

I've asked a few of my friends around home and they all said to drink some beer. I managed to get about 2/3 of a can down. I hate that crap, so bloody vile. So let's see what happens. Apparently it's the hops and yeast. So I wonder if it's the brewers yeast in the cookies that is working... Maybe I should make some cookies cuz I bet they taste better than beer. Lol. Thanks for the recipe.

You did better than me, I cant even stand the smell of beer, but brewers yeast and the linseed are the are supposed to increase supply, as do oats.
They are pretty yummy, much better than stinky beer! and it makes a lot of cookies.

Wow! it cost us 600aed which is like $165 for our birth certificate! You guys are lucky!
Max has been up all night....literally....all night! he would sleep for maybe 30 minutes and then want to feed again...then he gets frustrated cause I'm out of milk...we were up all night....every time I laid him down he would wake up and want more milk. He's asleep now and it's 10am. His days and nights are all mixed up. When i try to wake him during the day for a feed he just falls asleep in my arms...won't even feed. Hopefully he will work himself out because I can't have one kid on a day schedule and one kid on a night schedule!!
i can't really sleep when he sleeps during the day...can't wait for school to start so then maybe i can catch a nap in the am!! Hope you all had a more restful night than me!!

That cracks me up. I like beer too. My favorite is white Belgian beer. I definitely like cookies, but I have no time to make them. Jillian doesn't sleep much during the day at all...or if she does nap a little it has to be in my arms. My house is such a mess. I don't have time for much. Last night she even refused a bottle from my husband. If this continues I don't know how I'm going back to tutoring next month. I swear he was just as upset as she was. I had to cut my bathroom trip short because she was wailing so hard Similar threads
