Clomid Club Graduate Buddies

Casey- girls night out.

Suz- I won't ovulate until I cut back. I wasn't breastfeeding at all when I was trying to get preg with max, so if I don't stop there's pretty much not a chance I could get preg. I've got to get preg soon before my husband changes his mind! Lol. And I am going back on clomid if my cycle doesn't straighten out, so I can't bf with that. I have to do what's needed for my family, not just Connor, but all of them... And our family planning has taken us this route. I do feel terrible not bfing anymore, but he will be just fine on formula.

I need to wean the pump starting next month to get my production way down by October. I am hoping to be at like 2 pumps a day to none by the time we go to Hawaii. It's gonna be so hard mentally and physically. I make so much it seems such a waste to cut it off! Also it's gonna hurt!

Batshit crazy is brilliant!!

Hey casey :wave: how is jimmy going with food?

Sammuel seems to eat sooo much! What is everyone feeding them and how often?

Suz Pearl has a bottle at 8, then toast (a strip of crust) at 9, another bottle at 12, then dinner at 1 which is about 20 spoonfuls of whatever.........Then a bottle at 4 and dinner between 5-6 which again is 20 spoons.....And some fruit normally in between most feeds with me............She could easy go more tho! Piggy!

Casey have u cut any feeds yet?? Im down to 4 pumps but have enough stored to cut down to 3 so thinking I'll cut the afternoon shift in a month or so. Pearls more intersted in food than booby on an afternoon.

Hi suz ! Giving Jimmy a bit of mashed banana 3 times a day and he eats it. His poop I'd banana-y! It's not a source of nutrition right now really tho- just a little sampling everyday for practice on when we want to give him real purees in a month or so.

 

[kcw81]

Ellen I am at 5 ppd and will go to 4 soon. I still make 62 oz a day!!!

 

[SBB]

That's good casey! Not to tell you what to do at all (promise) but just be careful only feeding him one thing. He may get so used to it he'll find it hard to adjust to any other flavours/textures etc. He may be totally fine though

I know I keep harping on about BLW but it's so easy! You literally give him a bit of toast cut up or whatever... Or a banana cut into 4 chunks. Or pieces of pear or stewed apple. Or I did cous cous and veg the other night. I didn't know if you might find that less daunting than purees?

Chell did I upset you? I didnt mean to I hope you're not mad. If you are I'll do a Casey and demand you forgive me immediately!!!

Jeez sammuel is a pig! For breakfast he has a whole banana and a while piece of toast. He eats 3/4 of the banana at least, and 2/3 of the toast at least. For dinner he'll have another whole or half piece of fruit or veg and whatever else... Last night he had a pitta bread with melted cheese on plus a whole banana!!! and he's dropped NO feeds!!!!

Suz, Lili has a bottle at 5.30 then porridge and toast at 8, bottle at 9.30, bottle at 12, lunch of main and pudding (about a tbsp of each) at 1, bottle at 3.30, supper of main and pudding at 5.30, bottle at 7 then dream feed of formula with rice in at 10.30.... Gosh sounds like a lot when you write it down!!

 

[kcw81]

Oh suz I am doing carrots or apples next week don't worry!! One new thing a week was the docs orders!! Still I think Jimmy wants most of his calories from bm- u can just tell he ain't ready to supplement food. Maybe in a couple weeks! Things start moving fast don't they!!

 

[Onelildream]

Suz- I forgive you. I just really am having a hard time not feeling guilty. I don't want to stop bc I love nursing and I love my baby boy and I want him to have the best, but I also really feel like we need one more to complete our family and now is that time while my others are young and our family is close in age. It's just right for us to have another, you know? And unfortunately, that means that I have to give up one good thing for the sake of another good thing. I really have weighed the options, but feel the pressing need for baby number 4 right now. I can't explain it. I really try to be a good mom.

 

[SBB]

You are a great mum chell

Glad to hear it casey! he will be loving it soon enough! Does he get stroppy when you eat and he doesn't have anything?

X x x

 

[kcw81]

Chell you are the bomb at mothering! Connor will be fine on ff and a néw sibling will be so gun for him to play with.

 

[kcw81]

Suz he just watches from his high chair with interest - and then boredom if I take to long. I dont sit him in my lap while I eat. Let's all admit here that you know that part of the slow progress is on me dragging my ass a bit! I know it but doc says it's ok to go slow.

 

[Rudeollie]

Chell u are an amazing mum. And connor has had a LOT more booby than most kids so do not feel bad ok?? Hell if I were brave enough to ttc again I would be sticking formula in Pearl now shes six months. But I wont be going there again for a few years..............Only 30 so plenty of time for another god willing!

Suz do u find Sammuel HIDES food in the roof of his mouth? Pearl does whn I let her eat herself........Half an hour after she gags and produces some vile looking mush hahaha! She is so bad when we eat I always have to have something for her to play/munch on.....She throws real paddies if not!

 

[kcw81]

Hey guys do you still hold the bottle for them when feeding? Or do they?

 

[Peach Blossom]

A bit of both Casey, Lili tries to hold it, but often somehow pulls it out of her mouth instead!

Anyone here a photoshop whizz?

 

[Peach Blossom]

Ellen, Lili hides food in her cheeks! She'll suddenly spit it out an hour after meals... And it's not vom!

Just ordered a pizza deal for one... How sad!

 

[SBB]

Casey - I just asked about the food cos it's one way to know if they're fully ready and gagging for some food! Like Sammuel will try and grab for ANYTHING we eat and throws a strop if we're eating and he's not! And Jimmy obviously doesn't do that so it's fine to take it slow... Just do it at the pace you're comfortable with, and he'll let you know when he's ready to take it up a notch!!

Yes Sammuel totally hides it in the roof of his mouth... I usually have to find it and get it out!

Mmmmmmm pizza....... Lush! Me and Danny are having M&S food - he's having fish and chips and I'm having risotto. And I've had a small glass of wine - pissed

[Rudeollie]

Not sad at all Jess.......Enjoy it!!! Im glad both girls smuggle food hahaha!

Casey. Pearl USED to hold it but now doesnt.............Shes a real fuss pot with feeds sometimes so I have to be on the ball with disctractions and such! Hahaha

Just had my friend round......its a year since her hubby left her. Her LO has just learnt to walk and she was so so proud. God bless her. Shes had a f*cking hard time of things!
