Zfbaby I'm sorry to hear about your oh! Definitely ughh men! Husband snapped at me tonight for no reason at all! In front off Marielle as well... I walked off and told him to sort his ff-ing attitude out. This little break can't come soon enough! 16 hours till I see my family, 36 hours till I drop hubby off at the airport!

Hi Ladies, haven't been on here for ages now!
Marlee is 11 weeks and 1 day! gone so quick.
Had her weighed last Friday she was 12lb 14onz, Changed her milk over to hungrier baby and it defo agrees with her, she is now having 7 onz feeds at 7am,11am,3pm and 7pm then sleeping from 8.30pm- 7am! It's amazing having a full night sleep every night.
The only thing I am not happy about is the thumb sucking I have tried my best to stop it but she wont stop. :/
Hope you are all doing well.
I'll up load some recent pics of Marlee and from our holiday

It hasnt arrived yet but I'm hoping it might come today. Last time he was in one he had loads of room. I've gone for a bigger one to last us longer.

I was thinking of maybe trying hungry milk for the last feed of the night but I've heard it can cause constipation and I'd hate to see Lou go through that again. He's sleeping at 8-9pm after a bath then waking at 10pm for another feed then at 3am. The 3am feed is a nightmare because he doesn't take a lot but is full of wind and then one of us has to sleep upright with him. I thought maybe if he had a hungry feed at 10 he might sleep longer?? Cute pics of lo btw. She's lovely.

Zf I don't know if I would alter Louis' formula. It seems like you a have just come out the other side of a rough time. Hungry baby milk is for babies who aren't ready to be weaned but need something more substantial in their bellies. If he has 9oz and is still hungry, then yes. Otherwise I would prob stick with what you are doing.

Def get a second opinion on the tt. Matilda's wasn't obvious, but when it was cut the mw was surprised by how far back it went.

Gorgeous photos char. I can't believe how much Marlee has grown.

 

[Zfbaby]

Yeah on reflection and a bit more reading I don't think it's for him plus hes back to just 3oz at each feed tonight super annoyed, sometimes he feeds really well and takes loads and sometimes he goes right back to his bad habits. Waiting for the rough times to be done with is so stressful. It's been so bad that dh has already said he's not sure he wants more babies as he doesn't think he could relive it all again

 

[Little Ducky]

Yeah I'll see what the Dr says about tt when he goes in for his jabs.
Ally is doing 8-10 ounces every feed now (when he can actually manage to drink it) but he's only just settled well on this milk, so I'm waaaay too scared to change it lol. He's 12 lb 7 at 6 weeks, so clearly doing well.

 

[CLH_X3]

Aston was 11lbs 7oz at his 6 week check...

Come to think of it, he will be 8 weeks on Tuesday and I haven't had an app come through for his 8 weeks jabs!

 

[babyface15]

yes it's funny about the carseat. it was in my local news yesterday evening. I'm finding all this talk of her 'post baby bump' really annoying too

zfbaby, sorry dh is being useless, how frustrating xx

char I hate you on the full nights sleep Marlee is a stunner, I love the pic of her holding her bottle

so I'm paranoid now about having Calla sleep in the pillow. but I need to Co sleep in the morning. does anyone else Co sleep and what are your arrangements?

 

[babyface15]

omni cj has two teeth already?? what a superstar baby, he'll be walking next week lol

 

[OmiOmen]

CJ was 14lbs 5oz at 6 weeks. I'm holing the pram attachment will last until his neck is stronger but at this rate I'm not sure it will.

2 have cut through and more are threatening to. One seems to be close to coming through near the back and I thought the back ones came later. Not sure about the walking though, lol. DS1 was commando crawling by 3 months but CJ is fairly lazy. DS1 did pretty much everything really early so now DH is presuming CJ is behind because he mostly just sleeps and eats.

I co-slept with DS1 but don't need to with DS2. But with DS1 I had a single bed in the nursery for us.

I was lucky with Marlee she didn't get any constipation and has got on really well with the hungrier milk, I wouldn't suggest to give it him just for his last feed as they say you shouldn't mix baby milk, all or nothing sort of thing x

 

[babyface15]

hope you're enjoying your trip so far pebbie!!
my boobs have become lopsided. I guess calla was preferring one side and I didn't notice. now the small side is producing much less milk. have you had this problem before pebbie or omni?

 

[OmiOmen]

Yeah, both boys liked the left side more. It got/is getting worse with teething because they get more fussy and feed more on the side they like. It is only the past couple of days with his odd feeding on a night that I am lopsided though.

 

[pebbie1]

I'm having a great time thanks! Proper relaxation
I haven't got the problem with my boobs (yet probably) but my left boob is producing a lot more milk and it sprays out! lol
Markus is growing so quick!!

 

[OmiOmen]

My right boob (the one he likes least) leaks so much all the time. They both spray out every now and again when he is getting fussy over latching on.

I can't get over how aware Markus always looks! JJ was always very aware and active but CJ seem pretty lazy.

 

[babyface15]

haha my girls a lefty too. They both used to spray and be overfull but now it's just the bigger side. She fusses a lot of the small side now because she can't get enough milk. I read some things to try on kellymom (feed twice as much on small side, start with small side and extra pumping of small side) but it hasn't made much difference in 24 hrs. I'm worried my fuller side might dry up if I keep this up :S
I am going to see a lactation consultant on Tuesday so I'll let you know what she says

pebbie great news! markus looks like a little man there, so adorable! I will try to post some pics of calla later

 

[OmiOmen]

JJ was like that but CJ isn't quite as bad. I did have to express off my right side for 2 days when teething was really affecting his feeds.

 

[passion4shoes]

Omi were you taking some sort of super baby supplements during your pregnancy? Good job you aren't having any more - the next one would pop out with a 'tah-dah'!

Have you tried the rugby hold on the other boob? I had to do it with Matilda as she was favouring one side.

I can't believe they are going on about her baby bump! It would be great if they discussed how it was actually normal! But then you know Kim Kar-fuckface is behind closed doors working her ass off and will emerge as if it is normal to immediately shed the weight. Everyone will think Kate is just lazy and we will all go back to feeling like we should be in our normal clothes already (keep quiet if you are lol!)

 

[OmiOmen]

Lol. DH is a big guy and it would seem that the only reason DS1 was small for the first few months was the pre-eclampsia. That high chance that another would pop out before a 35-36 week c-section is exactly why I really don't want any more. CJ took the saying that a heavily pregnant women is looking 'ready to pop' to a whole new level.

I can only seem to feed in a cradle hold. With JJ I could side feed laying down but I can't even do that with CJ.

Lol, well I am not in normal clothes. I have lost a bit more weight recently so am now about a UK 16 but I was a UK 8-10 pre-pregnancy.
