June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[Teeny Weeny]

After a positive start to the morning I am now completely and utterly fed up.
Resigning myself to the fact that I will be induced next Friday. Roll on next week.

Lavo, I'm glad you are okay. These big bellies do make us lose balance and make us more clumsy than usual. Enjoy the rest. Xx

Lavo, ouch that sounds painful! Glad you're doing OK.

Karli, Poppy sounds so content. I'm a bit jealous how easy she goes to sleep!

Teeny, you still have a week to go. Hoping something happens!

My first daughter was the same, but Zach was really really hard work. So I know how you feel. He only ever slept in stretches of 20 minutes or so and I was exhausted.
Poppy hasn't really had the chance to be cuddled to sleep etc, because I'm always running around after the other two. She's not all easy though, she is awake alot and sometimes she gets so over tired she can't get off to sleep, I struggle a bit with that but it's easier to deal with in the day when the others are at school.

Lavo! Wondered where you were, hope you're ok, sounds painful

Teeny, hopefully a good sign. I don't think it will be too long now.

Rhi I feel so sorry for you

Starlight actually he's easier than dd lol! She was hard work! But I think maybe becasue she was so difficult I am just kind of expecting it.

Im using the pampers swaddles newborn and after this we are doing Huggies. That's the only brand that worked for dd too. Dr said he's urinatinf so much cause of how much he's eating. He said he's working overtime for the weight he lost, but good golly he just ate six boobs in te last two hours. He eats at least once an hour every hour til almost bed time.

 

[AngelofTroy]

Well she gained, 30g which is a little low for 48 hours but the midwife was very happy with it in the circumstances. Leaving us 5 days before weighing again!!

 

[Boo44]

Well done Angel and juniper!!! What does she weigh now? I've got to get Arthur weighed tomorrow to calculate his antibiotic dose I'm thinking he should be over 8lb by now considering he was 7lb 15oz 10 days ago!

 

[Boo44]

Dory it was us potty training and it went awfully and he's now back in nappies! I think he needs a bit longer and we'll try again in the school holidays I think...

Today is my FOUR year old's birthday and he's had such a wonderful day the sun has been shining all day!

Happy birthday to your DS, I'm glad the weather stayed nice

Happy birthday to your DS boo, I found 4 quite an emotional age as to me it's the end of toddlerhood I think.

Labour dust to all you ladies still waiting!

Sounds mean but I'm ready for DH to go back to work on Monday. I was worried about it this time last week but now we're at the point where we are really getting on each others nerves. He also tries to help out but never does things properly or how I like them to be done.

Henry has gained 7 ounces and bfing well and I'm happy and enjoying bfing.. It's so different from DS1 and I really think having a positive birth experience and good care at the hospital has played a big part in that.

Hope everyone's babies are doing well

I wasted so much money on bottles
Tommee tippee were always ones i brought but I actually hate them now they have always been a problem for us the teats just never seem to work well might just be me but it was same with DS ..

I've got Nuby bottles now and she stopped getting milk out of them I had 1 boots brand bottle that I got free with steriliser and that one has been best so far I went and brought more and they seem to be working great thankfully !

Nappies I use boots brand again and Aldi brand .. Huggies were the worse for leaking but I found that later on not with newborn..

Going to get weighed tomorrow can't wait to see what she weighs now still suffering with nappy rash really bad I'm doing everything I can letting her be nappy free a few times a day changing her more often and putting bepanthan on after ever change just hasnt really gone down

She weighs just over 8.5lb, it's so funny that she's still possibly the biggest baby in this group but because she was born 9lb they consider her weight a problem!

I can't believe Jack is 4!! Have you put pictures up in the toddler thread? I have neglected the toddler forum recently! Did you all have a lovely day?

Loads of labour dust to all you pregnant ladies. See if a cute picture helps with oxytocin levels!

I'm repacking hospital bags in an attempt to flush her out haha. C'mon baby! Also I'm sure I have forgotten important stuff =/ babies bag just seems to be all clothes lol.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Aaahh adorable angel!!

Edit: becy love that dress and she looks so alert. I missed your pic at first it just kept saying attachment failed. Silly phone haha.

 

[Boo44]

Gorgeous picture!!! Will post a photo of birthday boy and middle bro...

 

[vaniilla]

Angel - Such a cute photo!

Rhi - lovely baby things! is that a close nappy I spot? clothes is pretty much all they need, you've got the nappy changing bits/cotton wool so I don't think you'll need anything else.

we forgot our camera at home last time so I've made sure it's charged and stuffed in the main bag, something to consider if you're forgetful as me

Boo - gorgeous photo of birthday boy


Becy - she looks lovely in her dress I hope the nappy rash clears away soon

 

[Boo44]

I've heard lots of good things about boots bottles becy Definitely get yellow Metanium it clears up anything in like 1 day! I swear by it. I don't like bepanthen it burned my son's bottom!

I'm struggling I can't even think what is best I was thinking the natural stuff but I can't bare to keep buying things trying them and they don't help I know sudacrem used to burn my son and it did me when I used it.. Bepanthan doesn't seem as harsh so I'm giving it a go for a week at least but tbh it's not done anything so far. I've never heard of metanium I'll have to look into it, going to ask tomorrow about what they think aswell because I don't know why she's got it so badly not with everything I'm doing to help it just can't bare her being so upset just want to take it away for her.

I think with some bottles with the age on the teats it's abit odd I don't understand it much But she can't get milk out seems to struggle and not drink fully but a few I have free flow I think they are and she gets as much as she wants. Boots ones are 0month+ though and she gets it out no problem

 

[Boo44]

Definitely try the yellow metanium if you haven't yet. I promise it will clear it in no time it's a miracle worker!

Beautiful babies
