Holly was up 12 , 3 and 6:30 so no too bad i guess except i got pee'd on cus i was like a zombie tryng to change her and wasnt watching haha. i then nodded off till 9:15 but felt guilty cus my boys were on their own .. im sure some kind of routine will emerge eventually

 

[Ley]

just heard some sad news.
My friends 6 year old passed away this morning. He was born with kidney problems and had been on dialysis but picked up a bug which his little body couldn't fight off.

My heart is absolutely breaking for his mum. I just can't imagine how she is feeling

oh no that is awful

 

[rachael872211]

Oh god Leanne that's awful. I'm so emotional at the moment that made me cry. Just makes u think of what you got.

Lennie fed loads last night! I think 2, 4, 6. But then 10. So that was nice for a kind of lie in. He's grumpy now cos he's tired. He has been trying to sleep since his last feed at 1130.

Also I think his spots are getting better! X

 

[juicylove]

Rachael Is that milk spots on his face my little one got 4 of them yesterday??

 

[juicylove]

Ley that's heart breaking my DS is 6yrs old how people get the strength to get through it is unthinkable

 

[mummymadness]

had a horrid day corey still bad with colic oscar still bad poorly and spent day in a and e oscar has broken his finger in a door currently sat on my knee sobbing

 

[winegums]

ley that's horrible and mummymadness as well i'm sorry for both of you xxxxxx

What are milk spots? J has had a couple of little spots pop up but not sure what they are

He's sooo good I adore him, my dad keeps asking if i brought a doll home from hospital because he's never heard him cry lol! he cries at night when he's hungry because obviously i'm asleep so don't see his hunger cues like licking and trying to suck his hands etc so he ends up crying... but in the day he's fine and so alert he's awake for ages just looking around taking everything in, then has a feed and sleeps for a bit.. then wakes up and looks around again lol!

Is anyone else finding (or found) their second baby easier? well not easier but like they feel more relaxed and chilled about it all? I thought i was pretty relaxed last time round but this time I feel much more calm and confident

 

[Ley]

I actually found my second baby harder. She was very colicky and never slept for more than 20 minutes at a time. I also had severe pnd with her too.
Megan has been a lot easier though, I've been amazed at how she's just slotted into our little family and our routine.

you are def more relaxed 2nd (and 3rd) time round imo , with my 1st i was panicking at every cough , snuffle , etc with 2nd and 3rd you dont tend to worry about all the little things.

my lo is hardly ever awake ..how long is anyone elses lo awake for ? holly is awake for the 1st 5-10 mins of her feeds and i you change her nappy thats about it she even fell asleep in the bath last night

 

[PaiytonsMummy]

ye i am alot more relaxed this time...which is great thought i was going to be a complete mess like i was with DD but everythings fine
eve, mason is awake for hours at a time....but has been really sleepy over the last week, but health visitor seems to think hes going through a growth spurt

 

[winegums]

Aww bless eve, j goes through cycles 20-30mins laying there looking around all wide eyed and open mouthed... Then starts showing hunger signs so feeds for about 20mins the last few mins he falls asleep then stays asleep for about 3 hours or so... Then at night it's similar without the awake times but I guess as it's dark and he's all swaddled up he just sort of wakes for food and eats half asleep then falls straight asleep again.

The only thing is he takes a lot longer to eat at night as hes so half asleep!! Xxx

yea H seems to take forever to eat at night its prob just cus im knackered feels like ages lol !

how is the feeding going now btw ?

 

[rachael872211]

Wine, lennie's routine sound identical to J! I love it when he just stares and does little things with his lips.

Well I thought milk spots looked like little White heads. Lennies have got worse now. I don't know if it's baby acne or what. He has some on his legs too. I worry hes allergic to something in my milk or my cats
When the midwife saw them she said it was fine so I'm probably being ott.

On that note, i am loads more relaxed. Lol. I don't get worked up when he cries and I just feel so much more calmer than with my dd. X

Gem im sorry about Oscar. It sounds like u have had a crappy day.
