As requested, a couple of photos. 8 weeks now and even at her GP check today they commented on how petite she is. Chubb information up well though.

Milk drunk and asleep by the time we got to the car after her injections :)

Those baby girls are too cute. I love Georgia's 'milk drunk' one and Jumipers 'fisty cuffs'. Xx
 
Oh wow Angel - all that beautiful hair! Georgia is 7lb 15oz now. My eldest was 8lb 11oz at birth lol!
 
Angel I'm sorry Juni's weight gain wasn't what you were hoping for :hugs: she is so beautiful!! That hair is amazing

Dory Georgia is so cute with her little milk drunk face :)

Georgia has definitely woken up! I think she's been awake for about 8 hours today. She's got a cold though :-(

She's smiled at loads of people, but only once for me :-( but she really listens now when we talk. She was so interested in her great grandma today

HV is coming back on Friday, if she's carried on gaining an oz a day she'll be 8lbs on Friday but she doesn't look that big to me :-/
 
Ah pixie! She's adorable! I feel like you could be talking about Arthur, he has suddenly woken up and has been awake soooo much today. He's smiling much more now too I got a proper grin today :cloud9: Plus, he also has a little sniffle so I'm hoping he doesn't get a full on cold! Oh, and he has the blue version of that spotty tesco babygrow Georgia has on too! Twins or what :haha:

Dory what a gorgeous girl hope she's ok after the meningitis jab, I'm really nervous about that one. My other kids missed it so I've not experienced the after effects before, but apparently it's really nasty and makes them febrile and upset :(

Juniper is a cutie!
 
Gorgeous photos!
Georgia is really feeling grotty now :-( she's been sleeping pretty much since her jabs but the last hour or so her temperature has come up a bit and she's been shouting or shrieking.
 
Georgia has definitely got a cold :-( she's been up all night and she keeps doing a proper dropped lip cry :cry: I've been in the bathroom.with the shower on to try to clear her nose and squirmed a little milk in her nose. Fingers crossed it's working - she's asleep now with Het mouth closed but I'm afraid to put her down.

Dh is being an arse :-( telling her to shut up, there's nothing wrong with her and whining that he's got work tomorrow. Even though he's been in bed undisturbed since 8. Div.
 
Pixie, poor Georgia! Hoping she feels better soon. Your husband better shape up.

Hannah hasn't pooped since Sunday night :(. It's been 51 hours.
 
Gorgeous babies! Sorry to hear that the Georgias are sick between jabs & colds - hope they're both better soon.

Question to the breast feeders - Róise is basically latched on with her mouth just around the nipple shield rather than having a chunknown of areola in her mouth. It doesn't hurt me but I'm pretty sure it's not right. I can't get her to open her mouth & tip her head back though. Possibly due to the bottle feeding so early even though some midwives told me the nipple/teat confusion isn't a real thing. I know she's getting some milk however she takes a fairly substantial formula top up afterwards (50-60ml. A normal feed for her is often around 80-90) even after breastfeeding for 20+ minutes. Thoughts?
 
One solitary pic of my girl!

Nipple confusion us definitely a real thing but fortunately it doesn't sound like she has it because it normally results in complete breast refusal.

Do you tease her top lip with shield before she latches? Sometimes that encourages them to open their mouth wider. Don't be tempted to put her to the breast before her mouth is open really wide. She WILL do it. Two things that are helpful are asymmetric latch and the flipple technique if you google them. You need to aim for the nipple pointing to the roof of the mouth rather than the throat of that makes sense?
 
Excuse the boobage but can you see how the angle of Georgia's head means the nipple would be pointing at the roof of her mouth? Keep her body tucked in to you :) it's definitely a skill and I'm on my third baby and it often takes me a few attempts. Just keep practicing :)

Dory it was his 10 day check, she didn't do much at all and was here no where near an hour and half, probably 30 minutes tops. She weighed, asked a few questions and booked his next appointment for 7 weeks.
He now weighs 7lb 15oz so has put on 7oz in the last 5 days. The midwife is coming today to sign us off.

Loving all the baby pictures, I've yet to post one of Arthur as my computer keeps turning them sideways but will try and post one soon.

Hope the induction is going well lavo and that you either have your baby here already or at least very soon.

Quick question- what monitors are you all using, I haven't been using one so far as Arthur had been coming up with me. I've been looking at the angelcare systems but have read a few reviews saying they made parents worry more with false alarms and stuff so was just after opinions really. :)
 
Blimey the thread has moved quick. I'll be back later to read it all haha. I was just baby checking! :haha:

I was up almost all night with Braxton Hicks again. =( last night they started around 7.30 so I timed them! 15 in an hour all lasting between 50 seconds to a minute and a half. Painful enough that I can't move during but never getting any worse. This continued until I fell asleep. Now I'm sore all over like as if I had been at the gym ! How unfair is that =(
 
Rhi, you had best not have that baby before me! Xx

I'll pop in later. I've got such a busy day ahead of me. :-( xx
 
Don't worry teeny I won't =) been this way for like two weeks now ?! Although last night was the worst. This morning I'm fine though besides the aching body etc. I'm in for the long haul
 
Baby Malachi was born 9:38 on Monday 27th, I got my home waterbirth, the mws missed it so daddy caught him.
 
Congratulations lynnikins! Sounds like it was very quick. Well done to Daddy.
 
Wow lynnikins congratulations! I'm so glad you've got the birth you wanted :) there's been very few of those in here!!
