Elyssa was 8lb at birth and last week weighed 9lb4, she will be weighed tomorrow and I will update. She is on formula and is taking 3oz most feed and feeds every 2.5-3 hours in the day. Most nights she goes from 10:30pm - 2/3am. Then 2/3am - 6am. Which means she takes between 22 and 26 oz a day
I'm BF'ing, he was 8lb 1.5oz at birth, 8lb 2.5 at 5 days, 9lb at 10 days and today was weighed and is 10lb 5.5oz!!
he now focuses on me, is much more alert, loves being in the bath and sleeps from 19:00-01:00, feeds and then sleeps again until 5-6 then it's hit/miss as to whether he decides he'll go back to sleep or not lol xx
What a doll, loving that pout face. Good to hear everyone's babies are putting on weight!
I also had professional pictures done, have to scan them to my computer, I think they turned out well!
I'm expressing and giving formula at night and if we are out for long periods of time. I was so hurting from bf'ing, my nipples were raw and bleeding and no latch would seem to work well for him! And my hubby wanted to feed him also. I love it!
I'm lucky also... He sleeps from 11/12 at night till 5/6am.
Has anyone's babies had their shots yet?
Gabriella was born Oct 2nd but thought I'd post here since I posted regularly on your October bump buddies thread
Gabriella was 6lbs 4oz when born and is breastmilk fed but via a bottle as she wouldn't latch. She was 7lbs 7oz when last weighed 2 weeks ago. She hasn't been weighed this week as we've been struggling to settle her yet whenever the hv has come she has been asleep and I haven't dared move her. I can tell she's gained well though as my arm is aching lol.
Not been having a good week this week. We thought Gabriella had colic or at worst reflux but the hv has taken some details and spoken to the consultant dietician who is pretty certain it's cow's milk protein intolerance. She's in pain a lot of the time which make me feel so bad for her but hopefully once I've been on a dairy free diet for a couple of weeks there'll be an improvement.
Elyssa is beautiful! I will hopefully post some pics if I ever get on the laptop again. I'm nearly always on my phone these days
We are October 13th - doing well and gaining weight so far though he has not been weighed for two weeks and wont be for another two.
No shots are yet first lot are at 8 weeks looking forward to them in a weird way as want to take him swimming and into London but with the whooping cough around want to wait.
Sleeping wise he is not too bad does not sttn by any means but enough so that we can cope OH is really good as well. Only thing is he often wakes DD so she ends up in with us.
Hi Ladies, I haven't abandoned the Oct DD thread, but wanted a smaller closer dates with babies birthdays as a couple of weeks either way is quite big at this age isn't it and it was weird weing people only just having their babies!!
Yes first lot of shots are at 8 weeks, poor bubbas
Elyssa goes from 10/10:30 pm to 2/3am, then to 6/7 am, so can't complain really as she was doing every 2 hours
