Due In May :)

[robinson380]

Hi May Mommies: I have had computer issues and have not been on bnb since before my sweet Charlotte Jane was born. She came May 10 at 7:58am. 6lbs 13oz and 20 in. Congratulations to all of you! It has taken me an hour to catch up on the thread What beautiful May babies we have all had!!

Hi Robinson! She's so beautiful! Looks all snug and content she shares her birthday with Alice! Congrats! How are you feeling???

 

[robinson380]

Feeling good have my 6 week check up tomorrow. Breastfeeding has been the only real issue. She would not properly latch on and she bruised my nipples badly so I have been pumping around the clock until 3 days ago when she began to latch on. Hopefully she continues to latch and doesn't start trying to gum my nipples to all hell again! She is a little barracuda! How are you and your sweet baby--I love your avatar she is precious!

 

[Jary]

Ahh BFing was agony for me at first so I used nipple shields. She eventually latched properly herself without them

And thanks! Alice is doing well, putting on lots of weight and starting to smile she's getting more fussy tho...it's not just in the evening it's afternoon and a bit at night.

How is your little one sleeping? Alice is usually 3 hours between feeds but last night she actually slept nearly 5 hours straight!

congratulations Robinson shes beautiful!!

still having issues here, the nutramigen stopped her diarrhea and she gained 14oz in 5 days on it. but her reflux worsened. so the doc started with carobel thickener and now the diarrhea is starting again...but im puzzled as the carobel doesnt contain any dairy.

Ava normally goes 3-3.5 hourly in the day and then longer at night. other night she did a 6 hour stretch followed by a 4 hour stretch but to do that she does a bit of cluster feeding, feeds at 5-7-9

Congrats Robinson she is beautiful

Noah tends to sleep from 9/10pm till 4am then has a feed and sleeps till around 6/7am and has another feed. I can't get anymore than 2ozs into him when he wakes up at 4am! I think if he had more he'd sleep later. At least he does a good stretch early in the night I suppose.

Nearly that doesn't sound very nice for poor Ava Hopefully it will all settle down soon x

Charlotte sleeps 5 hours max right now. Some nights better than others. She has been really congested the past 24 hours and coughing I don't know if she has allergies or what?

 

[Jary]

I've wondered that with Alice. She gets a blocked nose at night and sounds like an elephant! Sneezes occasionally too so maybe hayfever? I have it so she could have inherited it.

 

[MissMummyMoo]

I think just maybe have a cold. Their immune systems are crap until they build up some immunity. Caitlin and Thomas both had a cold from a few weeks old which lasted up to 3 weeks and Noah is the same. He's had a congested nose since around 3 weeks? Hopefully it clears for them all soon x

 

[BellaRosa8302]

My dr told me its normal for newborns to sound congested and only to worry if they're not eating due to not being able to nose-breathe.

Hey everyone 6 weeks already gone by cant believe mason will be 7 weeks Monday. Won't get my checkup for my c section till 9 weeks cause the dr who did the surgery is so busy. Mason is doing great sleeps all the time never cries carter loves having him around. He slept 6 hours last night than went back to sleep at 530 and is still there lol. We have decided no more kids for us so hubby is getting a vasectomy I have had two surgerys done still his turn haha. On another happy note I lost all my baby weight right after having mason and am also down an extra 5 lbs so far!! Hope everyone is doing great

Both my kids had the same thing because of the c section and not getting squeezed out lol I use hydra sense saline drops and the snot sucker thing works like a dream

 

[Jary]

Hey pink! Glad you guys are doing so well! Yes I can't believe where the time is going! I've got Alice's six week check on Wednesday And I can't wait to see what she weighs!

Got my GP check up in a couple of weeks...Alice will get her first jabs then! Eek!

 

[pinktiara]

Mason is 14lbs haha hes so fat kid eats like crazy so did Carter and hes tall and skinny so hopefully mason will be. ugh Masons are on the 5th of July hes pretty chill so hopefully he doesn't cry too much. I dont know what it is about Mason im so much more overprotective with him and with Carter I was super overprotective lol

 

[MissMummyMoo]

14lbs wow! Awww I love chunky baby's

Noah has his jabs on the 3rd I am not looking forward to them, poor baby x

 

[Jary]

It's not nice seeing them distressed tonight Alice has been crying so much! I think it's because she has a sore bum and its hurting her...she seemed to calm down a bit after her nappy was changed. Using sudocrem as it helped before.

 

[MissMummyMoo]

If sudocrem doesn't help this time try metanium it was a god send when Noah's bum was bad (his was so bad it bled!) Hope it clears up soon poor little miss x

 

[pinktiara]

neither of my boys needed diaper rash cream not sure why but Masons reflux is something terrible ugh poor guy dr gave him zantac made it worse took him off so now he just goes through it doesnt fuss alot can just tell it bothers him switched his formula to a lactose free one which seems to help a bit hope he grows out of it.

 

[BellaRosa8302]

Anyone else told you have granular tissue? It's something I had never heard of, then at my 6 week check up the midwife (whom I don't like much ever since she delivered me) put silver nitrate (ouch!!!!) on it and I'm back to square one down there! I have a follow up appt next week and if the silver nitrate didn't take care of it she says she will have to give me a local anesthetic and snip it! will the pain ever end?!?! Ugh!!! But like I said, I've been kind of terrified of her since the birth, so I called the office and rescheduled my appointment with a doctor instead.

Sorry I've not been on for ages - difficult keeping up on here with the two little ones!
Hope you are all doing well!

Bella - yes that happened to me last time, I had an episiotomy and when it healed I had some internal granularity and a couple external, I went to see a specialist who put silver nitrate on them and snipped them immediately. I won't lie, it was sore when they snipped them, I had no pain relief. If you end up getting it done see if they will give you some before they do it. Don't get me wrong it wasn't ridiculously painful but it stung.

I hope you are all doing well. I am just about getting through the days but have no time to do things for me. Between DD and DS I'm constantly
In demand! They are both doing really well though and make me so proud.
