babyface lush pics :)
clh. sma is £9.50 she has about a tin a week, i think its well over priced!
 
Aww, babyface so cute. I agree that chair looks comfortable, I could do with one in my size.

Sorry so many of you are suffering with bad colic, I really hope there is an improvement soon. :flower:

The HV comes around to see me every week to keep an eye on if I will get PND so we get plenty of weight checks and today CJ was 11lbs 8oz! No wonder seem seems massive.

it's a bouncer from toys r us. it reclines or goes forward so she can sit up and it vibrates. she loves it. I'll plunk her down in that and even if she's crying she stops, so it gives me some time to do things like eat and shower lol

speaking of the bouncer, zfbaby or ducky do you have one of these? i got this one when i was pg bc the reviews were good and people said it really helped their babies with gas or reflux. plus the price was good. (& I got mine 40% off) here it is in pink https://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=3807261
 
sweet pics to.omni. look at that little cloth diaper bum. we haven't been able to bother with the cloth yet, even though i think she will fit in them now. we feel bad bc so many people bought us then for the diaper party, but we don't think we can be bothered to do it now. i still haven't even found the time to wash them enough times to even be able to use them hahaha
 
Babyface, I was the same with DS1. We started cloth nappies part-time but couldn't stick with them because we had so much going on and he was so high maintenance. A extra load of washing a day is easy when you don't have a difficult to look after newborn but when you do it can seem like a massive job when you really don't need to add to the stress. I know it can feel disappointing but don't be hard on yourself. :flower:

We still aren't using them on a night with DS2 because I don't have any I 100% trust on a night but we hope to make the switch soon. He is too big for 6 of the newborn nappies we have already. Everything seems much easier this time around than it did last time.
 
edit: she sometimes stops crying when i put her in the bouncer haha, maybe not when she's got a dirty bum and is starving ;)
 
thanks hun! so glad things are easier for you this time around!

i know before she was here i thought an extra load of laundry wouldnt even be noticed. now it's a different story- lol. Especially if we need to change her more often too. I think I'll give the ones we have a try part time, but I'm definitely not buying any more until we're sure!

i guess i can just take them out when someone comes over for a visit :haha:
 
Adjusting to life with a newborn can be so much harder than expected and little things become big ones. It will get easer sooner or later though. :flower: In the meantime getting them out when people come around or photos would work. :haha:
 
I do one cloth nappy wash every other day. It is really easy once you get into it.

Look how cute they are

Aww, cute nappies. The BTP look like they fit well already. I am going to pre-wash mine very soon. He has outgrown the 6 bum genius XS we have and because the 6 itti bitt S we have are poppers we can't get a good fit with them so only have the 10 size 1's that have a ideal fit and with 16 nappies currently in rotation we are washing once a day (still not using on a night so it is enough).
 
Love the cloth bums ladies We've just been using cloth at home during the day so far. We have about 16 so it gets us through and we try and wash every other. Still not 100% sure were using them right to attempt night use yet plus we have loads of disposables to use up. I'll post a snap of his rumparooz later. I will say I much prefer cloth. I can never get a good fit with pampers etc. love my bg btp. I've got the big insert in with the xtra padding at the front and I'd say it lasts us 2hrs. Any longer and they leak. Find getting poop out tough though as we have such hard water.

Had a nice day yesterday. Dh was off so we went shopping. Decided to bite the bullet and go out. It's been hard because he cries so much but yesterday he was really good. We even had a impromptu photo session. We were super strict at dragging his feeds out to every 4 hrs and it really seemed to help his wind. Colic was not too bad last night. He drank all his feeds too. Trying to keep it up today but he just had his morning feed and is back to refusing it because he's too windy. He only had 3oz ish but I'm going to be strong and still wait 4hrs to let his gut rest. Hope hell be hungry enough to take a full feed next time.

Babyface- wish he liked swing. He cries if I put him in it.

Ducky- were on meds for reflux (renatadine sp?) gaviscon causes constipation so were avoiding that although I think his formula might be bunging him up anyway.
How many poos are the Los having? Louis is going maybe once a day and they are now thick and dry like clay. He used to go every feed and was soft and seedy. Now it's green/yellow and it clumps (sorry tmi) not sure if this is normal for ff????
 
I really need to sort my BTP out, at 11lbs 8oz they really should fit him now. I do want to get as much use out of my newborn and size 1's as I can though. I also really need to try and trust my 2 part totsbots on a night soon too. I am in hospital again tomorrow so will be using disposables then anyway.

I'm glad you had a good day and a better night with the colic zfbaby.

CJ poops at least every 3-4 hours which is around his sleeping pattern although sometimes it is a tiny amount and sometimes it is huge. He sometimes poops through 3 nappies in 5-10 minutes too however he is not doing it as much on a night now. We found green streaks for one day and the HV said as long as it doesn't go fully green and/or he doesn't become irritable to monitor it but it should be fine. However I know BF and FF poo is different so I am not sure if it is more or less normal with FF'ing or not.
 
Hmm it's hard to tell if Louis is irritable as that's his normal.
I remember when he would go during every feed when he passed wind and now he has to make an effort and his face goes red. Thinking of trying a new formula.

I have a couple of the btp totsbots easy fits but as far I'm disappointed. They leak like crazy and I don't seem to be able to get the insert to fit well. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Currently propped up in bed with Louis on my chest. He seems the calmest there when he's struggling with gas. Feel mean but I'm going to have to wake him up if I'm going to be able to get to our group this morning. I'll give him another few minutes :)
 
Easyfits might not fit him well rather than doing something wrong. I have 6 V2 easyfits but haven't used them yet. I hated my 5 strechies to start with but they seem to work better now and I love our 5 flexitots and wish they still made them. A lot of people seem to think totsbots are overrated for the price it seems.

CJ tries to crawl up me if I hold him like that. He doesn't seem to know he is too young to be trying to be so active.
 
she is soo cute passion :)

wow good for you guys on using your cloth diapers! i need to start making the time heh

great to hear you had a good day zfbaby :thumbup:

i had calla weighed yesterday at the breastfeeding clinic. she gained another 12 oz last week and is now 11 lbs! :O
 
Hello ladies! We are back in the uk and I must say I'm rather tired after we've done over 3000 miles in 10 days. The kids have been fab though!

Zfbaby it sounds like he's constipated. I'm sure that even though his poo's are different when he formula feeds, they still should be wet and not dry and clay like. What formula have you got? I remember Marielle was constipated and we switched to aptamil comfort and she was loads better after that.

Omi what are you in hospital for tomorrow?

Passion, how's your oh doing? Mine has been annoying the hell out of me! He does nothing and is completely playing the "victim" now and he's soooo tired and struggling bla bla bla. He's more interested in his bloody phone! We've slept in separate beds during our trip as he had to get up early in the mornings to go and work and I must say I might have enjoyed it a bit too much!!!! Lol
 
I'm glad you had a good holiday.

Yes, I have the hospital tomorrow! :happydance: I found out I'm graduating with a first the other day too so it is turning into a good week. I am hoping the weather improves soon so we can have a BBQ and then a picnic over the weekend too.
 
Wow, congratulations Omi! Well done. And the weather is going to be fab over the weekend so it looks like you'll be having your BBQ :)
