Ahh Lauren, Andrew is gorgeous, looks so much like you!!
Violet is just precious too Ditty! Since our LO's share a b'day, I thought I'd ask you, has violet become harder to feed & settle in the last couple of weeks? Harry gets frustrated at the breast-only been happening for the last week or so- & is definitely harder to settle to sleep than he used to be! Perhaps it's normal as they get older, I miss the early days of eating then sleeping without even a wimper ha ha!! I wonder sometimes if it's a gas issue for him but not too sure.

Ah she sounds lovely Nell. I don't think you can post from your phone. Are you on Facebook? May be worth posting to there and if you like one of the ladies can post to here for you. I would say email them to me and I'll post them for you but I post from my phone too

Lillian- my guy is a little younger and will be a month tomorrow... But we are having the same issue. Sometimes it's gas but sometimes I think he's just sorting himself out. I miss the ease of before too!! He's not too bad but things are definitely more difficult than they used to be!

I hope you guys don't mind if I pop into the conversation! I've been going through that (the fussiness) with Madeleine too. A lot of it with her is gas and her immature digestion system causing distress (my doctor said this is common between 3-8 weeks old) but I am wondering if some of it is like an insecurity, since she is still not sure about her arms/hands and their constant flailing about. I had read (in one of the 10238103 books people gave me) that babies can get upset as they're starting to discover their limbs until they are more secure with them. It is fascinating to watch her slowly realize though that she has some control over them. I use a swaddle sack and then a receiving blanket to keep her wrapped up really tight while she sleeps and that seems to be helping somewhat. I also found the shhh-pat method works really, really well to calm her right down.
I can't believe my baby is five weeks old today. I thought for sure she would be delivered two days late on January 9th instead of coming eight days early.
I also can't believe how emotional I get when I pat my flubby tummy and realize that there's no more baby in there. I couldn't wait for the pregnancy to be over and for her to be here and now that she's here I miss being pregnant. Hormones.. BAH!
Here are a couple of photos of my Maddie. The first is her "WTF?! Mom" face, the second was at her baby shower and the third was on her first walk yesterday which she loved (after adjusting to the sun.)

Thanks! We think she's pretty cute!
I find she's tough to settle after the early morning feed often requiring snuggles in bed the get her to sleep. Her sleep patterns have been variable but she's been ok to console. Remember, tho, she was 3 weeks early so that may make a difference.
Last night she was growling. I gave her gas drops and she slept soundly. Could be a coincidence.
If he is getting frustrated at the breast, it could be too fast or too slow milk flow. Poor V gets flooded with my letdown. How is your supply?

Thanks Aruppe & Trissy!! It helps just knowing other ladies/babies are going through the same thing! I think babies can have off days too & yesterday was certainly one for Harry!!
Trissy, gorgeous pics!!
Nell, so glad you and Nora ate doing well!!

We definitely had an off morning! Oliver was so cranky!! He also seemed to e cluster feeding, so I think he is going through a growth spurt. He finally got a peaceful nap and is more like himself now. He also seems to be fighting his own sleep pattern the last few days and I think that's also contributing to his fussiness lately.

Nash had a stomach upset for about 24 hours this weekend. I think I ate something that didn't agree with him and he kept pooing and had trouble settling to sleep. I have to confess OH and I kept giggling at the super farts he was doing!

On the 23rd she was 7lbs 2oz, her next check up is on Friday the 8th. She was gaining around 25g a day at her last weigh so I'm thinking she'll be around 8.5lbs on Friday. She's probably around 8lbs now, though she's so long that she doesn't have the chubbiness to fill out the size 1 diapers and is still wearing newborn (much to my bank account's chagrin.)

I think coffee is upsetting my little guy. I don't drink much but I'm noticing more fussiness when I have a full cup or more. I had a large coffee this morning and Oliver was a mess... It took hours for him to settle down.

I refer to Madeleine as "The Beast" when she has an off day. Today The Beast is awake. She is so tired but she will not sleep at all. She starts drifting off and even swaddled, she's still startling herself awake. She wants to eat nonstop but spits everything up. I thought maybe she just wants to comfort suck but no, she definitely wants to eat and spit things up. (I think she gets that from her daddy.)
Today I wish I could hook my coffee pot straight up to me with an IV. Next best thing? Off to Grandma's house for awhile.
