Pebble gives some good advice ...hope it gets better for u zfbaby

Aston has a feed of 4oz every 3.30-4 hours ... Most the time it's 4 hours, even tho she went 5hrs this morning ...

Does taking him out for a drive not zonk him out ? I swear all Aston does is sleep 90% of the time lol

 

[pebbie1]

What are your babies looking like now? We should post pics every once in a while like we did with our bumps! Here's Markus today

 

[Zfbaby]

Oh my god he's so cute! I'll post a few of Louis. he's already changed so much. Thanks for the advice pebbie! He woke up and wanted more food. Dh gave him another 90ml and he had it all and then some breast on top so were increasing the bottle for the next feed. Our bottles only go up to 150ml but at this rate I'll be looking for bigger ones. We've put him to sleep in his boppy by me on the sofa as he wouldn't go back down. he's now squealing away in his sleep. anyone else's lo snore and squeal when they are sleeping?

Nope we tried taking him in the car the other night to calm down but he just screamed the whole way. Thats why the hv said it was colic as cars are meant to be miraculous I wish he slept 90% of the time, it would give me a chance to pee at least. I couldn't even eat last night as he cried all evening and by the time he slept I was too tired to cook.

Awww hungry little man! It's trial and error with working out how much feed he needs, but yes, definitely increase the bottles lol
Markus snores and pulls 50 million different faces or sucks his bottom lip as if he's dreaming about feeding. He sometimes looks like he's about to start crying so we think he must be having a bad dream. And as he's only a baby and knows nothing yet, we say he's dreaming the milk is running away hahahaha

Haha yeah Louis does the same. It's cool to see what his smile will look like. I figure he's dreaming about the faces he's seen. Dh thinks he's dreaming about being back in the womb when he makes sad faces

 

[Little Ducky]

Well, I never thought it would happen but he's here! Alastair was born at 10:52pm on 9th June, weighting 9 lb 2.5!!
Labour was OK but his delivery was horrendous, will update with details and a pic in the morning. Love my beautiful little man

 

[pebbie1]

Awwwww yay!!! Congrats ducky and well done!!!!

 

[Zfbaby]

Congrats! Another beautiful big boy for the group!!! Well done you, hope you're ok! x

Up feeding Louis again. He has trapped wind so will see is there's anymore sleep in mummy's future. Dh decided to sleep in the nursery as he's at work at 6 so I'm on duty alone
Anyone got any tips for getting wind out besides burping? I'm not getting anything more back up that way and his legs are still firmly up
I forgot to give him the infacol too as I decided to bf him as I was too tired to go downstairs and make a bottle

 

[CLH_X3]

Gripe water or colic drops might help ?

Well done little ducky! Think he's the biggest yet?!

 

[CLH_X3]

Tried doing a pic but my files are to large!!

Aye, chunky little monkey! I did suspect he would be one of the biggest though tbh, and forced out at 2 weeks late Lol.

So labouring was OK, they broke my waters at 3cm and things really picked up after that, I got to the pushing stage with gas & air... Awesomeeee stuff!! Then the pushing stage came & I tried for 3 hours, but he wasn't shifting. He was back to back and I just couldn't push him out. They took me to theatre and I ended up having to have a spinal tap and forceps/scissors delivery. It was so scary but the team of Drs and midwives were so great. His shoulders got stuck & they had to hurt his left arm to get him out, plus his head is a bit funny looking due to the forceps! Bless him! Will pop a pic up in a sec.

Any word from omi?

 

[charbaby]

big congrats little ducky xx

Marlee

Pebbie your pic is cute, he's looking so alert now x

 

[pebbie1]

Thanks char! Yeah, he is holding his head up as well!! Curious little monkey hahahaha. Marlee is soooooo cute too! I love seeing them all grow.

Zfbaby gripe water is a good one too to try besides Infacol. Also rub fingers clockwise in a circle around the belly button or cycling movements with his legs can get wind moving too. He'll love the bath as well as warm water makes it feel better. Must be so confusing for a baby when you have no clue what is going on and you just get these bad tummy pains

Ducky, wow, sounds a quite intense delivery. It's not nice if they have to do these things. Is Alastair ok now? A friend of my had foreceps and ventouse and her little girl had 2 black eyes and the biggest egg ever on her head. It went away pretty quick though

Still no word from Omi..... Hope all is ok

I had that and ended up emailing the pic to myself in a medium size, save it to the camera roll again and then it worked

 

[Zfbaby]

using a rare nap moment to pop on a couple of pics. The first is from 2 days ago and the second is the day after he was born

 

[Zfbaby]

oh and i love this pic. He looks huge but i think its because the suit is 0-3 but i couldnt wait to make him wear it

 

[pebbie1]

Ahhhhh Zfbaby, he's gorgeous!!! X

 

[charbaby]

Arhhh! how cute is he! x
