Have I got the heaviest babe at the moment? Lou I 13lb1oz at last weigh in (Thursday). He's 8wks today?
Had a lovely couple I days in York. Sil helped out loads although I didn't let her do te nights like she wanted as I felt too guilty.kinda wishing I had now though ha ha. Lou is doing better I think. More settled over the last few days of new milk but still very bad trapped wind and definetly constipated or at least having harder poops. They are now dark green dry nuggets (sorry) we have an appt with gp tomorrow to work out why to do next. He is doing a lot of playing and smiling when he's not in pain though so at least I know I don't just have a grumpy baby.
This heat has been getting to him too we've slept with a fan on and it seems to help.
I'm now a mam convertee!! Got one yesterday and he has got on much better than tt dummies. Shame they are so expensive compared to others as I know he will lose it.
 
I think so zfbaby although CJ was 12lbs 8oz at 4 weeks and 3 days so is probably measuring the biggest on the chart in the red book. I am glad he is feeling a bit more settled and hope the GP can give some advice about the constipation and gas.

Pebbie1, I hop he sleeps better tonight. Is he taking up a lot off room in the basket now?
 
Omi, yes he is. He's already 61cm now and when he stretches he touches the top and bottom of the basket. I put him in the cot this afternoon and he falls asleep, but he then woke up and it was like he freaked out, arms and legs up in the air, screaming. When I picked him up he was grabbing me and putting his little arms around me neck. Since then I can't put him down anywhere. He just slept in the car for half an hour and that's all the sleep he's had today?
 
I thought mosses baskets seemed quite small. Should they last until 6 months? The bedside crib I got should but it won't.

I noticed about 2-3 days ago it looked like CJ had a tooth coming through and he is really struggling with it today. He isn't sleeping, is frustrated and is latching on badly and is generally irritable and then I noticed the lump I had seen had gotten bigger and he cried more when I touched it. He has just gone to sleep but I'm not sure it will last long. We'll have to get some teething gel tomorrow but it is a shame he is still too young for calpol. :nope:
 
I wish I had got Matilda weighed now! I want to know how she compares. I went for the six week check which was bullshit. I had booked the wrong type of appointment - wtf?? I just booked a six week check. Apparently I had to book with the hv first then a 20 minute appointment with the dr. Well, no one told me.

I Was going to get her weighed tomorrow but my car is a heap of shit. So next week will do.

On the plus - I got a bus today with the pram! Woo hoo.

It's great to see that things are moving forward for everyone (specifically zf and omi!)
 
oh that's too bad pebbie, hope he sleeps better tonight. maybe he's going through a little growth spurt! do you have fans on? I'm just remembering what happened with us the other night lol

char shes the opposite, she fits in some of her her 0-3 clothes (not all) but i have her in the 3-6 vests now as she's too long for the other ones hehe.

zfbaby great that you got a break :) i read on Kellymom i think that babies are at their fussiest of all childhood between 4-8 weeks, so i hope you've passed the worst xx

wow omni a tooth already is that early?

passion did you get to see anyone? you think they would have told you what you needed to do when you booked :S i wonder how Matilda compares too

i went for supper with friends tonight, i even got to drink a cocktail!! :D

Awwww babyface, she likes mummies milk loads too!!! It's good though and she'll be just fine.
Marielle always was really slim but I think Markus is going to turn into more of a chunk. He'll jog it off though once he starts walking :)
Click to expand...

haha yes this happened with my husband when he was a baby! He was practically obese because my mil keep waking him to feed him on advice of the doctors. But when he started walking he lost it all. he's tall and slim now
 
Passion, can't believe nobody told you! I had that 6 week check with the gp and the health visitor came to the house. Well done you though for getting on the bus yay!!

Babyface it's a bit cooler here tonight but Markus was going mental last night before bed. So we gave him formula and he downed 6oz! He must be going through a growth spurt. Great stuff for getting out and having a cocktail!! Bet that tasted well nice :)

In between feeds, changing nappies, running a business and on the brink of loosing my mind sometimes (lol), I've managed to potty train Marielle!! Woohooooooo. Plus we've booked travel to go abroad to holland to visit my family on the 27th. Yippeeeeeee as I've not been since February and I miss my sister like crazy! X
 
Wow Passion, you really would think they would have told you in advance. I have to 6 week HV check next week and she is coming here. Because I am on the extended care they come to the house instead. They are reviewing it they will still see us once a week of not at the 6 week check but they think they will. It's a little odd seeing them every week just so they can make sure I am not getting PND from the delivery and recovery. The 6-8 week GP check is closer to 8 weeks here because they also do the contraception talk at 3 weeks at my GP's office.

CJ is in 0-3 month clothes still even though he is getting very close to the top weight. He seems to stay in the size even when he is above the top weight for them so it must be partly due to his build.

The teething was really bad last night. :nope: I didn't expect it at 5 weeks! DS1 was around 3-4 months I think. CJ has one tooth really coming through fast and I can feel a few more that might not be far behind. I forgot how awful teething is and it is worse dealing with that a a toddler at the same time. With DS1 he was so high maintenance anyway that he kept me awake and was crying all night anyway but CJ is normally so laid back so seeing him screaming like he was seemed really worrying.
 
Wow teething???! That's crazy I thought that happened at about 6mnths. How did you work it out? I wouldn't know what to look for!
Well we had another fairly settled day yesterday. Spent the day with friends which was great and other than the odd burst of crying because of wind he was really well behaved. Had to get the train which was a bit of a nightmare. Our local train station has no lift so had to be taken across the tracks. He cried for a bit last night but we manages to get him down at 10 but when he woke again for his bottle he was full of wind and wouldn't sleep. So bit of a rubbish night. He's had a small nap this morning and that's it. Hv coming in 30mins so I'll ask her about his poos/wind again
 
Apparently DH started at about a month old so maybe that has something to do with it? I guess DS1 was a bit early but no where near this early. I noticed it looked like a tooth was coming through a couple of days ago when his mouth was open so felt it and I was sure one was coming through. I didn't think too much of it since it can take a while for them to come through even when you notice it but yesterday he was acting like a different baby; he was not sleeping, was crying, he was irritable when trying to latch on so not eating (not like him at all) and he got worse and by night time he was screaming non stop. When I could tell he was in pain I felt the tooth again and it felt like a much bigger lump plus when I touched it he screamed more. I feel really bad for him and hope the teething gel we will get today will help.

I am glad he had a better day but sorry he had a bad night.
 
Awwww Omi. It's so sad when they're teething. Some babies are already born with teeth! Freaky!!!

Markus slept LOADS better last night. He slept from 10pm till 3.30am, fed and then slept till 5.30, quick feed and then till 8am. He's been a lot more relaxed today as well so I guess he just had an off day. I'm producing a lot more milk now as well so maybe he is more satisfied :) He was feeding and I was on the ipad. He let go of my boob and I managed to spray milk on the ipad! lolllll

Weird question, but has anyone's period started again? I've been having the typical cramps again for the last few days but nothing started yet
 
glad you had a better night pebbie! interesting how you're milk production adjusts for los needs isn't it? no signs of a period here thank god. I had some menstrual type cramps one day and thought the same but they went away. i figure it was just my uterus contracting back to size

zfbaby let us know how your visit goes. glad you had a decent day though.

ohh omni, teething!! i don't know what to expect there

baby girl was up a fair amount last night (1:30, 4:30 & 8:00). she seems to be getting lazy when the flow of milk slows and just falls asleep. although also spitting up so maybe she had a full tummy, i had to change her three times last night due to spit ups :S i just wish she'd stretch out those night feedings a little bit more.

does anyone else dread the night? the thought of going to bed just waiting to be woken is the worst
 
I dread it, especially when I'm really tired as I know I'll just be sitting there, trying to keep my eyes open whilst listening to my husband snore lol! Marielle was a lot worse though and kept waking loads during the night. Markus only really wakes ones and then early morning.
 
Glad he slept better pebbie.

I don't dread the night now but did with JJ who almost never slept on a night. CJ on average only wakes twice between his last feed on a night and his first in a morning. I am slightly dreading tonight because he seems to be making up with eating and sleeping today so I'm worried he will be up all night again tonight. At least I have teething gel to try if they start to hurt again. I wish he hadn't started until I could give him calpol and he would be old enough to understand how to use a teething ring.

No period here yet. It didn't come back until 11 months pp with DS1 so I hope it is as long if not longer this time.

Babyface, your night waking are close to mine. It depends when I go to bed but CJ tends to wake at 12-1am then 3-4am and then we get up between 7-8am.

DH just bought a gym and mat thing even though I wasn't going to bother getting one this time. :dohh:
 
How old do they have to be again for Calpol, is it 3 months? Calpol is the way forward. My husband is at a big conference so I'm alone with the kids tonight. Think ill skip their bath time tonight!!!!
Next week Friday my dad is coming over. Haven't seen him since Feb and I'm so excited!!!!
 
I've also given the green light to get sterilised. I'm waiting for the letter from the hospital bit according to my gp they can do it pretty quick! What's everyone else doing for contraception?
 
no idea yet! im still not ready to have sex yet lol. i hate hormonal birth control. we used to use a combo of fertility awareness, pull out and condoms when i was fertile. but i reaallyyy don't want to get pregnant again any time soon (contrary to what dh wants lol) so I'll have to weigh my options.
 
I though calpol was 3 months but it says 2. I tried a teething toy but he just doesn't get it and chews his hand instead.

I can not imagine DTD any time soon however DH plans to have vasectomy although hasn't seen his GP about it yet.
 
Wow! I'm glad I'm not the only one who hasn't dtd yet. I just don't feel ready? Hard to explain to oh but he seems to understand it
