March 2013 babies - we all have our beautiful babies :)

[Kte]

Sophie has projectile vomited on her Daddy about 3 times now and been sick twice on Chloe. Sometimes her wind makes her think she is hungry, she wants to eat when really it's her tummy hurting, so her belly is too full. Other times it's prob the infacol she is on, I tend not to give her a full dose if she is eating close together, 2hrs between. We also try give her a dummy to suck when she thinks she is hungry after a big feed and that sometimes works, not all.

It's still worth asking, do they do a baby clinic at your Dr's? Once we have our final HV then I can go each week to get her weighed and ask questions - also if I recall they should provide a number in your red book.

Also, milk spilling, Sophie does that as well but not for every feed. If she is really hungry she doesn't but if she is 'leisurely' feeding it comes out. I think it could just be due to milk coming out of the bottle teat but baby not wanting to eat and so spitting it out.

Kte, I used to give Alfie infacol with every feed but I think it made him sick, as he isn't normally that sicky but I had a few instances while he was on it! It did help him bring up lots of wind but unfortunately it seemed to bring up little pockets of milk with it. Yuck!!

 

[Kte]

Yup, that's what she does too! I'm going to see how she does after the bottle is empty but at the moment she is still windy with it so I'd rather not take any chances. I feel lucky as she is dealing with it really well and rarely cries with it, she gets a bit fussy in the evenings and just wants constant cuddles until the early hours, I can usually get her down after her last feed at around 3am and she sleeps solid for 3-4hrs then so I really can't complain - don't want to jinx it either!

Hi all how are you doing?

I haven't posted on here for a whole but I have been nipping on and reading all your posts. And it's seems like a few of our babies are at the same stage and being little monsters with their feeds and sleep.........ohhh I miss sleep

My little fella is doing great, he got weighed last week and is now a whooping 9lb 10 1/2 he is such a little fattie he was born 9lb 1 1/2 he is a chunky monkey
He is being awake more and for some reason the past few days he has been a little restless and doesn't sleep for long.
He is going 3 hours between his feeds in the day and does 4-5 at night. The other night he did 6 hours and I was sooo impressed and thought it was things to come but the night after he woke every 3 hours

I am planning on writing my birth story some point this week, if I have chance. I ain't believe that it's been almost 4 weeks!!

You have the same wedding anniversary as me! x

Happy anniversary both of you

Alfie was also weighed today and is now 9lbs! Last time he was 8lb 3 so he has grown loads. He does have a tongue tie though so he may need it cutting if his feeding gets worse. He seems to be ok for now so fingers crossed!

Kte i had that problem with Paige when she's feeding. Its only the past few days ive noticed her spitting it out or she'll cough in the middle and ill have to wind her. When i wind her she doesnt always burp it up lol i also noticed that she likes to hiccups alot to :S. Not sure how to help her out much with them but pat her back lol

I had kind of co slept with her last night and she and i both slept alot better. I wont be telling ryan because evertime im cuddling her trying to send her of to the land of knob he's like put her down once she's asleep sometimes i just wanna cuddle her and smile as she makes funny faces lol but i must say that was the best sleep ive had with her since being home. I dont wanna keep doing it so she doesnt get use to it but everytime i pop her into the basket she only sleeps for a hour before getting up again .

We also just register her today so her name is official lol

Oh when we got her weight first time being home paige lost 7% of her weight i couldnt tell you what that was as the midwife wrong it down weird lol the next time she was weight she put on and is now 6lbs 8oz i think it was which im glad she was put on from the mount she eats lol

I think she holds some wind down or something or just being greedy when she has a full belly to for her to let the milk spill out i need more muslin's as i had 3 but lost one lol and i use them alot with her..

ryans turns tonight so i get my sleep but im going to take her to see my mum and dad tomorrow for little bit before coming home and cleaning up the house as we now know when the hv is coming out lol.

I wish the child benefit form would hurry along to so i can get the form filled in and sent off..

Think im ramble on loads lol

Oooh i had to buy another pump the manual one is ok but my hand goes pretty sore after pumping one boob for so long and then i cant be bother with the other and i only manage once. So i bought one from mothercare i wanted the tomee tipee one but that was sold out so i bought the next cheapest one innsense think its mothercare own brand. bottles looks a good shape but the suction isnt as strong as i would have liked took me an hour to get 2oz from both boobs so i pumped again manual and got another oz gonna try again soon with electric and just sit there and let it do its job lol xxx

The 8th, yesterday is dh and my anniversary as well! Happy belated anniversary!

Cherry, Alfie gets hiccups a lot too - almost every feed! Midwife says its normal.

Glad you slept better last night. I know what you mean about not wanting to put them back in the crib once they're sleeping peacefully - it's so tempting just to cuddle them!

Amy, happy anniversary for yesterday

 

[sportysgirl]

Lovely pics Anna!!

Alfie has had a bad few feeds again - it seems like ever since the health visitor came he's been feeding badly and not latching on well. He still went down at 10 but woke a couple of hours later and wouldn't latch properly. He just keeps sliding down on to my nipple only. So frustrating!! He has just had another feed which went a bit better but he is still making the clicking sound. He is now restless in his crib.

Hi ladies!

Sorry I've been MIA but we've been going through a growth spurt and I'm just too exhausted to post! I've been lurking and reading along though...responding in my head (which isn't much use to any of you). Hayden's been feeding every hour to hour and a half and since I'm still trying to mostly pump my right breast, I'm pretty much at my boob all day doing either! She's also given up her nice long daytime naps and will now only sleep for 30 min spurts during the day which is all the more exhausting cause I don't really get to nap with her (by the time I put her down and get a drink or some food, she's stirring already). It's exhausting!!!

The move was all done last weekend and we spent a good amount of time this past weekend unpacking as my parents were able to visit and take care of Hayden. So even though the house isn't really moved in as the walls are bare and we're missing a lot of furniture, the important stuff has been unpacked and we can comfortably go about our days - except my clothes which are all over the place but then again, I only have like 4 nursing tips so not much need to unpack the rest of my wardrobe!!!!

Ok I'm done pumping so going to try to snooze some before Hayden wakes up for the day. I hope to catch up with you all soon!

Mrs chezek, it sounds like you've been having an exhausting time!! I think being awake for longer in the day is normal at this stage, Alfie has been much more awake during the last few days and has only been napping after lunch. He used to sleep a lot during the morning but not any more! Glad you're doing well with moving in, hope it doesn't take you long to finish unpacking - although at least you have the essentials! Nursing tops are really handy.

My new pushchairs arrived and I love it going to take Alfie out this afternoon and try it out
