Yay congratulations wish and welcome to baby Benjamin! Glad you got your home water birth x

And congrats Mumttc on your little boy Arthur! X

Ooh exciting mommy! Thinking of you X

Yay for being home Angel! Bet you're so pleased. Hope little juniper is settling in well :)

AFM- I'm so tired! Henry is a complete boob monster, we've taken to calling him Henry Hoover lol. There's cluster feeding issues too.. I was awake between 2am and 5am last night as he wouldn't be put down and wanted to be constantly fed. It's okay at the moment as DH is off work so gets up with older DS at 7 whilst I catch up but he's back in a week. I'm considering introducing a bottle at that specific time if it continues which will hopefully prevent it?? Have you ladies who are combi or ebm feeding had any issues with nipple confusion ect? Henry will only be 2 weeks when DH is back at work and I keep reading you need to wait longer to introduce bottles or dummies but online many people seem to have introduced them earlier x
 
Wow popping in to see 2 new babies and one almost here! Another Arthur how cute!!! And congratulations on Benjamin wish xx good luck to those in labour

Hope you've settled in at home Angel xx

Squig hope the lactation consultant helps xx

11am and on our third pair of pants ... send help!
 
I hope the potty training eases up honey. I remember it well.
My DS was way harder than my DD. However, my DD liked to poop in the garden! Yuck. Xx
 
I'm terrible with needles full stop and injections ar my kryptonite! I wasn't in the room for any of DS' injections.

Karli - that's great on the new formula :)


I hope potty training goes smoothly for you boo.

We went for the pants free approach/naked waist down for the first week as he only had accidents when wearing pants, second week we had barely any accidents with pants on, I hope dd will be similar!
 
Awwwww so excited with all the baby news.... Nada over here.... And by nada I really mean not a single thing!
 
I ma expression get and breastfeeding, sometimes with a nipped shield and sometimes without. I introduced a dummy on our first night home as one of the midwives said he was a very sulky baby. If anything it has helped with beast feeding as it seems to have taught him to suck. It is also a good way to know if he is hungry or just sucky as he will reject the dummy if he wants milk.
 
Congratulations mommy!

Wow teeny you are definitely looking ready to go :)
 
Congratulations mommy the boys are catching up! :cloud9:

I found a dummy helpful too as it satisfies the sucking need but if they're actually hungry there's no way a dummy will work so it's obvious if they actually need milk!

Also Arthur has had breast bottle and dummy all within the first month and all despite being premature and he's not had any confusion he could switch between all 3. He's not been great at latching but that was from day dot way before I introduced anything else. And actually his latch improved a lot as time went on xx
 
Fabulous bump teeny!! Hopefully it won't be there for much longer :winkwink:
 
Anyone know if it's ok/normal for lochia to increase when I do my pelvic floors? I forgot to do them this last week then I did them last night and passed a 50p sized clot. I didn't make the connection til I did them today and I got bright red flow again after a couple of days of brown. :/

The mid wife had literalky just left! :dohh:
 
I'm hoping that it is quiet because there are more babies on the way!
 
Angel - I would say it's normal, pelvic floor excercises affect the whole area down there so it will have a similar affect to contractions.
