:haha: so cute for bubbas pooing without a nappy :)
Kaylee has done a few of those runny squirt poos in the middle of changes lol. I can't help but laugh
 
Ha ha!!

How long do the other bf babies feed for at night? Alfiegoes down between 10-11 am and wakes up at 9ish, with 2 night feeds in between. The night feeds tend to be getting shorter - now only about 25 mins including a nappy change!! I worry whether this is enough... He seems to be making plenty of wet and dirty nappies
 
Rose, As long as he is making plenty of poops and pees (especially pees since babies can go fairly long between poos) I wouldn't worry about it. Emily, she's quite a bit older but not by her adjusted age, is going for about 15 minutes at night, give or take, actual time nursing. The amount she gets up at night still really varies. I am sure Alfie will let you know if he needs more. It's so hard not knowing how much they are taking, isn't it? I go back and forth between wondering if she is getting too much or too little!
 
Thanks Amy, that's great. It's just something the midwife said that sticks in my mind - 'every feed should take an hour including a nappy change!' That was wen Alfie was first born though. I guess now he's getting more efficient at feeding and managing to eat more as his stomach is larger. It's such a worry!!
 
From the point i go to bed which is 9am ( cause i cant seem to stay up no later just now lol) she wakes around then for her feed takes an hour so to go back down then up again around 1-2am takes an hour to go back down again next time she normal wakes is around 7-8 but today is was 9.30 lol Just because ummm I co sleep with her :| yesterday she was waking every 3 hours instead of 4 like she had been doing so i thought ok ill co sleep with her and see if that helps her sleep bit longer and yep she did.

And when i got up to change her poopy nappy. Literally taking the nappy of from cleaning her bum what does she do..... Dribbles a little so i was like no no and then a full flowen pee aarrrrgh! i panicked picking her of the chaning mat carrying her dirty clothes and cover hahaha down below hahaha once i got her change i mop up the rest but i had to wait until she went to sleep an hour and half later to tidy it up :( lol

She's been little restless only sleep for an hour or so and then starts fussing i dont wanna keep picking her up and seeing if she done the loo or needs a feed so im going to have to try and let her cry it out a little bit. I even pop her into the bouncy chair nope wasnt having that....
 
Cherry, as she slept for longer in the night you might find she is more awake today - Alfie is like that! As she gets older she is likely to sleep longer at night and less in the day. Alfie's been asleep this morning but he rarely has a nap in the morning anymore. I think he's having a growth spurt today as he had a huge feed this morning and has been asleep since. He even stayed asleep once I picked him out of his chair and put him on my chest - I love him sleeping on me during the day :)
 
Nah shes the same through the day to lol so far i put her back down at 12.30 i think it was shes been sleeping since.

Ive noticed her skin its dry and peeling i was told to use baby oil which i said to the hv she said not to use johnstones because it to harsh for there skin but to use other one cant mind the name i said i have coco oil she said that was ok lol have to keep putting it on her :( xx
 
I used Johnstone bedtime bath the other day and it really irritated Alfie's skin - he has some spots on his face and it went so red and inflamed! Thankfully with a bit of sudocrem and some plain water baths it has dried out and got a lot less red. It looked horrible :( although it didn't seem to bother him!
 
Umm we've noticed today that paige has got a rush on her head to.. dunno if its a heat rush those. as we have only gave her 2 baths with that johnstone stuff..

Ryan just noticed she it all over her skin much be the coco oil.. well screw that we aint putting no more on her.. Can you use bepanthen on them.. i know it good for nappy rushes.. Its pretty warm today and it was warm last night.

Hahaha ryans doing her nappy hahaha is its another stinky one. should have seen his face lol..
 
All I've used is sudocrem. I think bepanthen is a similar thing! I only used the bedtime bath once and that was enough to flare up his skin :(
 
thing ill avoid them all for now then lol and use subocream or bepanthen.. Ive open her wee sleeper suit thing to help her cool down. and i just had her on her tummy on my chest she seem to have fallen asleep so ryan has pop her in the basket like that just for now.. think she has some trapped wind to... Fingers crossed this works xx
 
Olive oil is good for dry skin. It's still early days for us to use anything else on Sophie's skin, I'll be sticking to just plain water still for a bit. Chloe used to have dry skin problems so if Sophie is anything like hers then it's best just to stick to plain and simple water for now. Oh and a little bit of olive oil as it's natural - but feels like I'm basting her :wacko:

Sophie had a heat rash when she came out of hospital as it was so warm on the ward. The Dr said it was fine so long as the little spots didn't become infected as then she would need some meds.
 
thanks kte.

This is misses aint having much fun today. waking every so often she's just drank 4oz then hour later she drank another oz from another bottle. she's pretty warm just now so glad i put a short vest/sleep suit thing on her. She's only just crash on my chest half on her tummy. i dont wanna pop her into the basket as she may wake up lol. She has some reflex's to. i mean her head reflex :|. hopefully i can just sit here until i go to bed and then get ryan to put her into the basket. told him to give her a bath before going to bed. may help her relax a bit later on.

hope its just a one of day lol but im doubting it just now.
 
For dry skin, I put a couple of drops of baby oil in bubs bath with her usual warm water. It helped a lot

A bit late to reply but Hayden is 7 weeks now and all her feeds last 12-15 minutes unless she's comfort feeding and spends most if the time just suckling to pacify then she'll hang out longer. They get much more efficient as they get older! It's so much nicer :happydance:
 
We use a bit of an all natural gentke baby wash only on her 'dirty parts' like her diaper area and neck creases and to wash off her cradle cap gunk. Otherwise we just use water as she gets dry skin as well. I still haven't found a moisturizer I like as her feet and hands get dry from wearing socks and gloves all the time...it seems to eat up her natural oils.
 
I've been using aveno lotion on Carson and it works well.. I use the calming lotion at night
 
Hey ladies, hope everyone is well.

Cant believe Poppy is almost 4 weeks old, the time is flying by. She is feeding well and I am managing to get some sleep. I seem to be getting used to less sleep now.

Good wishes to you all:happydance:
