Honestly he looks so upset when I stop him! I don't shout or anything- I just say "no" calmly and take him off- I then try to latch him back on but he's usually wailing so hysterically I can't!!

My BF has just text me- she can't get the baby to BF He's not having any of it at the moment! She's really upset!!

 

[babyloulou]

Just realised my two abbreviations were the same!! Oh well I'm sure you get it!!

 

[lisaf]

Has your friend seen a lactation consultant? Have they tried a nipple shield?
They checked for tongue-tie too I hope?

I don't understand how ancient women did this.. so many women I know had trouble breastfeeding.. how did they ever manage back then?

 

[Onelildream]

Lisa I bet they were all just tight and if one mom couldn't do it, another would pick up the slack, ya know? That and later on people had wet nurses. Gosh I hope sweet Daniel feels better soon! Yeeeeeouch!

Connor was so lively this evening. After the "routine" I put him in his crib wide awake and he talked himself to sleep while I read to maddie. Oh it was the cutest thing ever!

So my sisters (in law) are driving me nuts! We planned a girls night but they are all so headstrong, stubborn and silly that it will be a miracle if we all get together! One sister resorted to throwing a temper tantrum and said she was just going to stay home and do everything how she wants if she can't get her way with all of us. The other said if the kids were going to be there, then she wouldn't do anything at all. Some sort of ultimatum. Are you kidding me?! How old are we all?!

Suz- congrats on the first sale!!!

Jess- welcome back! Missed you! Are there new admins now or same, just a new site?

Lou I hope ben is feeling better today. Sick is no fun.

Verna- love ya sweetheart! Sounds promising, the aches and pains! How's your sweet baby and that awesome cast?! Are you letting her milk it?

 

[SBB]

Sorry she's having trouble BF lou - I'd just say to persevere I guess. I think ancient women had no choice so probably just had to get on with it! Or got someone else to do it while until they'd figured it out more...

Chell tell them to stop being babies! What a nightmare!

X x x

 

[babyloulou]

Chell- bang their heads together!! Or just don't let the mardy ones attend!!

Suz- she's text me again. He's still not fed- he has mucus in his stomach and lungs because he was born too fast! Its making him breathe fast. They've tested him for a chest infection but it was clear. They've got to stay on til he's managed to clear it and starts feeding x

 

[SBB]

Aw no I didn't know that could happen hope he's clear and feeding soon...

X x x

 

[caz & bob]

[Peach Blossom]

Hi guys.

Lou, sorry I didn't reply yesterday, I was so I'll last night. If Ste is up for it I'll Auction it off and then send you the details. Is that ok?

Sorry your friend is struggling to bf. I wonder whether Lili had that problem? I hope everything sorts itself out.

Will be on properly later.

Xxx

 

[lisaf]

oh I hope your friend's baby does ok. I know that Daniel's lung collapsed because he wasn't able to clear all the fluid from his lungs correctly... basically every breath he took in came back and filled the aevioli, but when he tried to breath out which would have cleared the lungs, it kind of stuck instead and wouldnt' budge... but the air wouldnt' pass through either. So when he took his next breath, it just filled them more and more until they burst, air entered the chest cavity which collapsed his lung.

It doesn't sound like thats the problem with your friend's baby though, just still trying to clear the fluids.

Daniel was up like 5 times last night... his upper lip is quite a bit swollen. I think sucking on his pacifier made it more sore, but he needed it for comfort at the same time.
I slept in late and came to work over an hour late, luckily the girl I carpool with had today off otherwise I would have had to drag my butt out of bed on time. I needed the rest because this cold is kicking my butt. I REALLY dont' want DH to get this cold because he is such a baby when he's sick and I'm just not up for dealing with that

 

[laura6914]

Vern, i feel for you hunny and dont feel bad for having a moan. We have ALL felt the way you are hunny but try and stay positive, you WILL get there

Suz, congrates on your first sale

Lisa, poor daniel. I hope it heals soon.

Lou, hope our friends baby gets better. Sorry to hear about the BF to.

Chell, family can be a nightmare at times, Sound like they need a kick up the bum.

Well AFM, went shopping today to get everything for Shaes birthday. I cant believe he is 1 on Sunday.

 

[Onelildream]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Shae!

MOM OF THE YEAR AWARD! I was holding Connor and doing a lot at once and his foot got stuck in the stroller!!!!!!!!!!! SOB SOB SOB! It's all bruised up and cut and I feel horrible. I just cried. He screamed for a minute then was fine, but I still feel horrible. I know it isn't broken, but it's def a deep tissue bruise.

 

[Peach Blossom]

Aw Chell I trapped lili's finger in the car seat clasp yesterday. I felt so bad. I'm sure Connor will forgive you. Xxxx

 

[babyloulou]

I hurt Ben earlier too! He face-butted my hand and my nail made a welt on his chin!! :-/

 

[SBB]

Haha is it 'who's hurt their baby most?' day?! Hmmm I don't think I've caused any injuries today... Probably yesterday

X x x

 

[babyloulou]

Bad Mummies!! 

 

[Onelildream]

I do feel much better as the swelling went down and the bruise is completely gone; now it's just a scratch....BUT STILL! poor baby!

 

[lisaf]

Heck I almost bent one of Daniel's legs off when I was first learning to nurse and was trying to slide him into the football hold. I thought he was crying because he was hungry and wanted me to hurry up, but I his foot was caught and I was shoving him down into position anyway
I think there is a reason that babies don't form permanent memories at thise age

Still feeling horribly sick.
Daniel has been super fussy today, we think his lip is hurting him.

Inlaws pissing me off again. SIL left early again.. she has NO right to be upset with us for not putting Daniel in her care 5 days a week, she can't even prove she is reliable!!!! She only had him 1 day this week!
Then MIL was giving him a bottle and she tried to get him to look at me while she was feeding him. I reminded her that teaching him to be distracted while on the bottle will only make it worse for me when he's feeding on the breast and distracted, tugging off my nipple. I even told her that he had me cracked and bleeding from doing this. So she looked at him and cooed 'you're just so strong, aren't you?' ... then propped him up with the bottle facing outward.
I seriously GIVE UP She will never ever get it or listen to me

Hi girls! I am back! we flew back in tonight and jimmy was already in bed, right on schedule! I can't wait to see him in the AM and see if he still likes me! I guess the inlaws did such a great job sticking to my routine and following my instructions I really am so grateful jimmy was in such good hands. Wow I really am so happy I did not have to worry one iota about jimmy! I think he really likes the grandma now too, so we will see if he likes her better than me in the AM!

Hawaii was so nice, sunny and warm and so good to be alone with DH and just relax. Unfortunately a bunch of things blew up at his work so he had to still stress and worry about work but he managed to put away the phone and relax with me everyday for part of the day! I was so relaxed though it was so nice to just not have to worry about a little human being all day and night plus no dog for a week! But everytime I saw some other family and their baby my heart sort of skipped a beat and I felt a small ache to hold jimmy. can't wait till the morning.

I love the new look! it looked great on my ipod, I was looking at it earlier. I liked the print size how you don't have to adjust it when you are blind like me. What all did I miss??

Jess how was the concert?

Verna what happened with the FS specialist?

Suz how is sammuel sleeping, are you trying a new technique? it sounded like you were?

Lou is Ben still sick? how is the itch medicine working out? are you using a condom now I hope since AF happened??

Laura happy bday to shae! amazing how time flies!!

Chell I missed you hun, sounds like you are in the running for mom of the year but I think I won already leaving my baby for a whole week and not worrying too much about him! bad momma enjoying her time away!! tsk tsk.

Lisa sorry about the inlaws. I complain about mine but geez they don't compare to the irritating things yours do. I think I can't complain for awhile based on how great they did with jimmy while I was gone. Although... I haven't seen him yet and tomorrow I may find out that they trained him to only like them. ha. how is daniel?? is his mouth fixed?

Hi Caz!

 

[lisaf]

Welcome back!! Sooooooo glad the inlays did well with Jimmy!

His lip got snipped but we think he has a bit of discomfort from it still as he keeps waking up and is fussy until we give him some Tylenol. I can already tell his latch is deeper but with the lip still swollen, I'm waiting to see what it will turn out like.
And bummer that you aren't going to be able to complain about your inlaws for a bit . Wonder if they will have their fill of him for a while?

I'm sure everything will be fine with Jimmy tomorrow! Hugs!
