Here's a recent photo of mini me from the weekend x

So adorable!! My Lou has the same Elmo, he's obsessed with it!!

Rohan LOVES his elmo.. wont goto sleep without it. I was pretty lucky i remembered it that day or his hospital stay would have been a nightmare since he wont sleep without him. xx

All ur babies r gorgeous and doing well With weight gain! Sophie is still only 10lb 10 on the 0.4 centile but generally seems OK. One of her lymph glands is a bit raised, u can see it when she turns her head, the Dr said it's just because she's a skinny thing n just to keep an eye on it n msmake sure it doesn't get bigger.
She's back on ranitidine for the vomiting. Can't seem to add pictures hete

 

[sethsmummy]

big hugs hun. try not worry..ds1 was on 0.4th from a couple months old till just recently. hes now on the 2nd centile

 

[wildchic]

INMT- does the ranitidine work? Kaitlyn is still vomiting to and some days the acid thing gets real bad! I only get to pead in July! I'm currently using Nexiam, but that's only for the acid not the actual vomiting!

 

[sethsmummy]

oh my wildchic do you get anti-reflux formulas over there hun? here we can buy an anti-reflux formula that helps OR see if you can get hold of Carobel hun. If that fails add some baby rice to the formula which will thicken it and hopefully help it settle better in their tummy xx

 

[wildchic]

I breast feed SM, so not sure if I can do anything about it. 3 doctors already saw Kaitlyn and not 1 dr mentioned anything about the vomiting! She's been like this since birth. Courtney doesn't vomit much, but Kaitlyn does after every feed

 

[sethsmummy]

Carobel can be given before a feed hun. Cow and Gate Instant Carobel 135g is a food for special medical purposes and can be spoon-fed as paste or directly added to liquids. Instant Carobel is for use in the dietary management of habitual and recurrent vomiting, dysphagia and rumination. Cow and Gate Instant Carobel is suitable for full term infants, children and adults. xxx

Thanks hun! I'll phone around tomorrow and hear if we have it here in SA.

 

[sethsmummy]

your welcome hun. its one of the many things seth was tried on xx

Happy mothers day! Glad everyone is doing good. We see the doctor for a 4month checkup Wednesday, and the specialist next week. Hopefully her weight is fine. She is sitting with assistance, rolling from tummy to back. She can roll from back to side but gets stuck on her arm. She's getting very distractable during feeds. Here she is

Look at all these gorgeous babies. Adorable.

Nice to see updates.

Here is my little man. Excuse the scratches,he went through a scratching phase!!

 

[itsnowmyturn]

Wildchic it helps a little but not much and I have to get her weighed every couple of weeks to adjust the dose. She still vomits on it but not quite as much as when she's off it.
I'm not too concerned about her being on the lowest centile as long as she continues to steadily gain weight, she is skinny and u can see and feel her ribs and spine a bit but I think once she starts on solids she will plump out a bit. She's a happy girl most of the time and she doesn't scream for food so she's obviously not starving, she probably just has a good metabolism like her dad lol.
We're still waiting to get the money back from our solicitors for their mess up with the house move then we're booking a holiday to Spain! I can't wait we so need a holiday

Hello everyone! Omg it has been awhile since I have been here and I hope you all remember me. I had 3 losses before getting pregnant again and was due Jan 8th but they were going to induce me on Jan 7th. Baby Milania decided to show up when I was 37 1/2 weeks pregnant . She is now almost 5 months old, happy and healthy! She is so alert and full of personality! I am so blessed and she is so beautiful. I am going to be doing a lot of catch up the next few days.

Daddy is deployed and has been for almost 2 months now and he won't return until she is almost a year old. I am dealing with it best I can but it does suck big time

 

[wildchic]

Gorgeous babies ladies!!!

 

[PrincessMommy]

Hey ladies!!! I scrolled thru and looked at some pics. Dont have much time to read thru it all, but everyone's babies are SO cute good job mommies!! So I hope everyone is well!! Sorry its been so long- things got bad with my grandma after Ara was born... We lost her about 2 months ago. I am having a rough time dealing with it, but it gets a little easier every week. Anyway- on a lighter note, Ara has followed in her brothers footsteps and is in the 95%. She is around 20ibs and 25 inches atm such a happy baby.. She smiles ALL the time and looks so much like me! We are EBF over here (no pumping or anything) and doing great!! She's a little chunk, but is still quicker than her brother was at meeting milestones. She is flipping from back to front. We still have some issues doing tummy time cuz she has a bit of reflux. She is sitting with assistance too LOVE her!!!!

 

[itsnowmyturn]

I can't believe how old our sprogs are getting, sophie is 5 months on Friday!! She's weighing 11lb 5oz now and is going to be in 3-6 month clothes very soon. She still has problems with reflux but we're trialing some time without ranitidine again before I put her on solids in a few weeks, starting her on purees a week or two before she turns 6 months because at 6 months il start her with finger foods as well so want her to be getting used to tastes by then.
Her baby cousin is 4 weeks old and starting to catch her up already, he was born at 5lb 13oz and is now 7lb 2oz.

Had a slightly scary but exciting thought this morning...this time next year I could be pregnant again! Were starting trying again when sophie turns 1 so it's very possible! I can't wait

Having big problems finding childcare I like, I found one but it's term time only so no good for us. Going to look at a childminder today but she only has Monday and Friday available and I wanted Tuesday n Thursday. Got 1 more nursery to go see n then Im onto childminders only because il have seen all nurseries close by, I wish I could go part time and just work weekends but that's not going to be possible, I really hate the thought of leaving her

 

[wildchic]

INMT- yeah, our Jellybeans are getting big

Kaitlyn also suffered from reflux. When I introduced solids, it eased up quite a bit. She still spits up now and then, but I notice the difference! I'm sure once you start Sophie on solids, it'll help with her reflux.

I'm not going back to work, but was considering putting the twins in day care as its sometimes too much for me when I'm alone and my contraceptive was causing depression. We decided against day care and are now thinking of getting someone to help me during the day, but its so costly! And with only dh working, I kinda feel bad letting him take on all the responsibility!

Hope you find a childminder you're happy with and that Sophie likes!

Wow, you got a time when you'll start ttc again? I've read that after a c-section its best to wait 18 months(read it online, stupid google,lol). So although we don't have a date set, I think we'll wait until the twins are about 2 years old or until I get a good job until we start ttc #4.
Are you on any contraceptive and are you still breastfeeding?

My baby girl is rolling both ways, sitting with support, and scooting around. She will be 5 months on the 12th. She is such a happy baby!
