***December Dreamers*** 70 babies born***

Aw I hope the fed up ladies get their babies soon

Kirsty my after pains were pretty sore like contractions! They passed after about a week!

For those who's babies won't go down in the night, I rolled blankets up n put them either side of aimee n put a hot water bottle in the Moses until it was time to put her in! I also do the night feeds in the dark with just the landing light on! In our old house I had a dimmer switch - I miss that coz I had it really low with Aimee! She soon learned night n day!

health professionals actually recommend for baby to have a dummy now to sleep apparently its opens their airways up and reduces the risk of SIDS. My HV told me that its just the action of them scucking it as they fall asleep that helps and its not like they have to keep it in the whole time they sleep so if it falls out within a few minutes of them going to sleep then it doesn't matter as its already done its job - iykwim!

For all of you that have trouble with baby having their days and nights mixed up do you have a bedtime routine for lo? Such as bath at a certain, change into Pjs, milk in a quiet (ish) darkened room and then straight into their bed?

My midwife told me not to use a dummy for the first month if I can help it because of nipple confusion I dont mind using the dummy if we need to but OH just wanted to stick it in while he changed her nappy so she wouldnt cry

I've just been doing the last feed and change in her room in the dark because she hates the bath xx

Ailsa isn't bfing so we don't have that problem with the dummy. and tbf she doesn't have it very often only when shes being a bit ansy and its not feed time, sometimes she just likes the comfort of sucking!

Yeah shes not keen on the bath either but after having one every other day shes getting better now and DH has said that shes better if the water is deeper so he can bounce her up and down in it so she can feel the water sloshing around her.

i had that with the bleeding the first night after having her when i was in hosp - wasn't sure if i was bleeding or if there was a problem with the catheter!

Congratulations!!

Loving all the baby talk on the thread - cant wait until I can join in
Feeling SO much better - have spent 5 hours outside the house - bliss. Okay so it was a Sainsburys/relative visiting trip but I got to talk to other people! Get some fresh air do my Christmas grocery shopping (95%) and get a hot sunday dinner and then come home and decorate my tree.

Its amazing the difference a reasonable night's sleep and a bit of fresh air can have.

Im trying to persuade Caitlyn that she wants to be a full moon baby!! Not entirely sure she is taking enough notice though.

Special hugs to Sammi and Ness

Mizze xx

Cant believe there is only a handful of us to have our babies.
A race to the finish lol

 

[Nessicle]

Thanks Mizze! Sounds like you've had a really nice productive day! OH's sister and girlfriend are visiting from London so they came to see us for a few hours which was lovely it took my mind off labour and now we've just put a roast chicken in the oven for dinner then bath and early night for me ready for the big sweep tomorrow!

I give up on this thread. since i stuck up for what i believe in nobody seems to help anymore :/

 

[Nessicle]

Googli, I missed this thats all, - and dont forget the fact that most people on here are are now Mums and manically catching up rather than reading everything. Not every post gets answered

Yes that does happen to me - even if my bladder isnt full - if Ive been doing stuff its definately worse - feels so good to pee!!

Ness Yumm roast chicken dinner sounds lovely!!

Good luck with the sweep tomorrow - what time is it?

Time for a bath I think. DH has wandered down pub but wont be long and I fancy a little chill out - debating whether to take the chocolate orange with me.....
