good luck omni!
don't worry ducky you'll be there soon :)

i've been teary the past few days. mostly out of stress and exhaustion I think. little calla has been crying a lot and finding it really hard to settle. I think it might have been BC I wasn't feeding her quick enough though and she is doing better tonight.

this newborn stuff is way harder than the whole pregnancy birth thing
 
AWW babyface, it is hard at the start. It's all about getting to know baby and baby getting to know you. Once you've settled into a routine, it'll all get easier :) Markus has slept really well for the last 2 nights and only woke once so that's already starting to work better.

In feelin really yuk today. I've got a very sore throat and my skin hurts top to bottom and I'm scared I'm getting mastitis again! Boooooooooooooo
 
Think I have it again too. Like you all my left boob isn't so good, but my right boob is the good but sore one. I am trying to stop the expressing/bf thing now. I tried to latch Matilda back on the nipple and she didn't get it at all. I don't want to ff and pump.

I reckon omi's next post will be a birth announcement and I think she will have gone into labour herself. Hope it is going well xx

You next ducky. At least you have a deadline for Saturday.

Has anyone started exercising yet? I was told not to untill the 6 week check but that seems ages away and I want to tone my flabby bits. Plus I don't remember the GP checking me at all.
 
Passion, do you feel like having the flu as well again? Ugh, I don't want to have it again!!!
I too think Omi is in labour and it will be a birth announcement. Exciting!!!!

No to exercise. Walking into town to post orders for the business is the most exercise I'm getting so far! I hate my flabby belly. It's definitely getting smaller, but not quick enough for me!! lol
 
What's your routine pebble ?

Aston is feeding roughly every 4 hours, and last night during the night I used a dummy,, he had a feed at like 9.30 - 2am and 5.30-6, with the dummy inbetween ...

Haven't used it all day tho, don't know if I really want to use one all the time or not
 
We've started a routine at night. He has a bath at 7 when Marielle has a bath as well and then has a feed and then bed. He fed at 23.00 - 2.30 and 7am last night/morning. He was cluster feeding before so constantly stuck on my boob during the night so getting a few hours sleep was pure bliss! :)
 
CLH- I snuck a dummy in for a bit lat night too. But she was thinking she was hungry but after 5oz I knew she was just sucking for comfort. It worked. I won't make a habit of it and never during the day but needs must!

Matilda got weighed. She gained 10oz in 7 days! She is now 8lb 2oz. She is going to be a monster if she keeps this up!

Pebbie - do you put Markus down in his own room after bath and feed? I just take her to bed when I go, but she as an awake time 9-12.
 
Passion, yes I do. It is weird how different things are between 2 countries. In holland where I'm from, they advice you to put the baby to sleep after a feed so it gets a good sleep. The more they sleep during the day, the better they sleep at night. It's strange but so true and when we started this routine thing at night with Marielle she started sleeping better.
So yep, after the bath I feed him in our room and then he goes to bed. He sleeps downstairs too, but he keeps waking up or his sleep gets interrupted by sounds or us talking.
 
oooof still no word from Omi, hope we get a new bebe added to the thread very soon!
Just tomorrow to get through for me, and then induction. The end HAS to be in sight now! I'll be ten days over tomorrow... its starting to drag!

Looking forward to a birth announcement from Omi very soon!!
 
I started putting faith down in her bed after a bath etc when she was like 3 months old at least, I can't imagine doing it before as there so little, we started doing it when she was getting interrupted by the tv aswel...

I can't even imagine putting Aston down in the bedroom at the moment, he's so tiny! ...

Passion - my daughter has a dummy n still does, we did say we didn't want to use one this time but not sure how that's going to go ... He hasn't had it all day .. Only last night..
 
Just had the girls names tattood on me as I had Tommy-Lee's name when he was a baby and Ruby has always asked me why I have her name but OMG it really hurts on your feet!

My daughter had a dummy for years and Marlee has a dummy to, I had to give Ruby one to stop her from sucking her thumb and It's the same with Marlee the way I see it you can chuck a dummy away you can't chuck their thumbs away :) (well thats my excuse anyway lol)

Awwwww Markus enjoys it so that's good, otherwise I wouldn't do it. He probably enjoys the quiet time without his sister running around! lol

Marielle has a dummy. She has had it since birth and were planning for the "dummy fairy" to come round when she's 3. We said we didn't want one with Markus now, but with the cluster feeding etc I tried the dummy, but he doesn't want it!!!! He gets really upset as soon as he tastes it in his mouth. On one hand I'm quite glad about that and on the other hand I'm gutted as its so handy to have one!!
 
Char, that is so sweet to have their names tattoo'd! I can imagine it hurts as there's not a lot of flesh on your foot! I have one on my back and it bloody hurt on the spine...
I also completely agree on the thumb theory. I sucked my thumb and needed braces in the end as I sucked it till I was 9 or something! A friend of mine still sucks hers and she's 33!!!! lol
Ill keep trying the dummy with Markus as I feel a lot of the sucking on my boob is just comfort sucking
 
Pebbie my o/h sucked his thumb till his late teens! It was only because of me keep taking the mick that finally got him to stop, Half the time he didnt even realize he was doing it just force of habbit thats why he was dead set he didn't want our kids to suck theirs.

I have a tattoo on my back and that hurt too but not as much as my foot did yet the one on my back is alot bigger than them names lol. O/h is having all 3 names on a cross down his ribs tomorrow I will upload a pic after, now that is going to hurt! he is very brave lol
 
Wow Char, that is pretty brave of him. That'll hurt so much!!! Looking forward to the picture :)
Markus is constantly hanging on my boob today! Another day where I just want to give up this whole breast feeding thing. It's so hard!!!
 
Hi all!
Looking like omni might very well be next! :)
Just having a quick scan through the previous posts I was reading about your routines. How have you done it? I can't seem to create one for Louis. He's always hungry and screams for hours at night and doesn't nap during the day. By the time dh came home @ 7pm id not eaten or got dressed as hed cried all day long. If he's awake he's crying there doesn't seem to be awake time where he's calm. Don't know what we're doing wrong. If it because I'm
Still trying to bf? What's a good schedule for a newborn? I bath every other day or so but normally when we get a calm moment from him as he cries as soon as you take his clothes and nappy off. any advice would be appreciated. I'm finding it a lot tougher than I thought. Hv said she thinks Louis has colic as he cries most nights until 1am at least. Since dh is back at work and starts at 4am he's had to start sleeping in the spare room :(
Totally at the end of my rope. I've also split my stitches which are Now infected so I'm physically and mentally losing it.
 
I don't think a newborn really has any kind of schedule ... They do there own thing! ...

Aston just seems to sleep a lot tho
 
With Marielle and now with Markus, we got into a routine where they had 1 nap in bed during the morning after a feed, 1 nap in the afternoon after a feed. Then at night, every night around 6.30-6.45 it's time for their bath (Markus still screams his face off, but it'll change to where they really like it). After the bath it's pj's on and then we read a book. Then milk and off to bed. The whole proces takes about 30-45 mins so by the time it's 7.30 the kids are asleep in bed and we have the night to ourselves. Markus now has another feed around 11pm and 1 during the night but that one will slowly disappear. My friend has a routine with her baby too and she's sleeping through the night at 8 weeks.
In my opinion, the routine made Marielle really calm and she really enjoys it. She never ever did not want to go to bed and runs upstairs when in the night garden finishes lol.
With Louis, are you sure he's getting enough milk or do you think as well it's colic? Have you tried Infacol? My midwife recommended it the other day. I give it to Markus before a feed 6x a day after midday and he farts like a trooper and then calms down. It might help Louis as well. X
