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

You know the inflatable play rings? Is it ok for baby to sit in them for quite a while, say as much as a bouncer chair? We won't have the bouncer until next week but we have the play ring xx

Pixie keeping uptodate on you, so far so good.
Hopefully lots of babies in the next few days.

Hun to start with all baby will do is eat and sleep so when yr not feeding or changing it then yr best off just putting it to sleep in a moses basket or cot, the chairs aren't suitable for naps and I would imagine the ring things are the same. Ailsa hasn't got a playmat or chair or anything yet (DH picking the rocker chair up this afternoon) but then she hasn't really needed anything - shes just starting now to have more awake time though so its come in just in time.


Am so excited for you both pixxie andhopefully - looks like yr babies may well share a birthday!!!!

Ah thanks for clearing up willsmum! It's just I've seen other family members letting baby have naps in the chairs, I didn't know you were not supposed to.

Hopefully hope you get some progression soon! Xxx

I'm just quite surprised she said 3-4mins is just the start though! I thought I'd practically be having the baby by then! xx

Ok so i have only read about 6 pages so far out of the more that 50 i have to read LOL....
Congrats to Kerrie!! and to Kelly!! and to louise!! and to doodle !!
And Nat I hope you are having some luck with the BFing... I struggled a little only cause I thought i was doing it right but until i saw the consultant, i realised not. Yesterday my breasts were so engorged and they leaked like mad too !!! and they hurt like absolute hell!
the consultant told me to stand under a hot shower and just let the milk run out, or put diapers ( with a handful of water in it ) in the freezer and then place these on your breasts to soothe it... also that this "engorging" should not last very long as your body is just to figure out how luch milk you will need. so don't overexpress or anything as your body might think you need more !

My mum had told my sister to put erm a lettuce leave or over her each breast while soaking in the bath it draws the milk out. Google it and see if it brings anything up, my sister did say it worked a treat, its ment to be an old wives tale tho

A cabbage leaf is meant to help with the engorgement. My problem right now is having too much milk anyway, its falling out of me all the time! I could feed an army! It seems to be a bit better now tho thank the lord, i was seriously considering selling bottles of it on ebay

Your prob find you wont use the ring until bubs is holding her own head up, she wont fit in it yet comfortably, like anouska said you will find she will sleep a lot so you can just put her in a moses basket/crib x

My friend puts her new baby in his rocker to sleep as he won't sleep in his Moses basket he screams when she tries to put him in it lol

Pixxie hope you're progressing nicely! I've got a really sore back and bump from overdoing the cleaning this morning. Had a little nap but not slept really has been having strong BH's with gripping sorta pains round my bum and pelvis!

Feel really sicky as well and lost two little blobs of my mucous plug again earlier!

 

[xkirstyx]

right girls im still here just back from consultant and really confused. well my induction is booked for next tue and i got a sweep but my sweep failed coz docter (male doc) said my cervix is still closed and he couldnt get a finger in :.( think he pulled plug out when he took had out. im loosing loads of plug now and it has fresh red blood in with it. thought u only lost this when cervix is open and baby is coming soon? its the same as what i lost day b4 jack was born??? HELP!

its not good for their growth to sleep in the chairs or anything - they need to be flat, its the same reason that they recommend baby only being in a car seat for no more than 2 hrs at a time.

i heard savoy cabbage leaves - not that i needed anything cause i didn't leak or engorge at all!

On the subject of babies being in car seats for no longer than 2 hours would the odd journey now again over 2 hours be harmful? I'm talking 2.5/2.75 hours in total?
