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

Hi amyT, welcome! Feel free to chime in when you can or to just continue reading. I can imagine it would be hard having two older girls while trying to breastfeed on demand, it can certainly take up most of your day sometimes! Glad things are going well otherwise.
 
Hi AmyT, i'm another one who doesn't post much either but reads the posts in the early hours.
My little lady Martha is just over 5 weeks old now she's had really bad thrush in her mouth and on her bits which has made her so unsettled. She constantly feeds during the day and hardly sleeps but is then doing 6-7 hours in the night.
i'm hoping once she feels better she will sleep more in the day as she is just exhausted and grumpy all the time:nope:
 
Hi AmyT and Jen :)

Jen, my baby is also very ratty when he's not had enough sleep! I've noticed that when he naps regularly during the day he is better during the evening/night. Hope the thrush clears up soon!
 
Hi ladies.... It is tricky as my 2 year old has been a bit jealous so trying to get her on my knee whilst feeding Holly is an interesting mission to say the least! I have given Holly bits and bobs of formula when she has been having a particularly hungry period which seems to settle her and means my husband can also help with feeding.... Its so hard though as I feel guilty for giving her the formula but then I feel guilty breastfeeding as feels like I'm neglecting my other two! Lucy (my middle one) doesnt sleep well and hearing her so bing for me but not being able to lay with her to comfort her is awful (she will have my husband there but because she cant have me she wants me!). But I've learned that whatever you do as a mum you feel guilty!

Hope the thrush clears up soon Jen... Are you breastfeeding? None of mine have ever had thrush but know it can pass to the mum too. Over tiredness is a curse whatever their age... Getting the balance between too little/too much sleep in the day is a nightmare for my toddler. X
 
just a quick drop in tonight to say i hope your all doing ok <3 I have a very poorly baby on my hands, had to get an emergency doctors appointment as his temp shot up to 38.4oc, hes not likes being touched all day or picked up and keep randomly waking form sleep crying in pain. Also keeps coughing and getting a very very stuffy nose :(
 
Rose: Glad the 6 week check went well and he slept better :flower: Good on meeting other Mummies as well :thumbup:

Amy: Good luck with the interview even if your not sure you want it :flower: Still hoping you all feel better soon :hugs:

AmyT :wave: Hope you can post still now and then :flower: Certianly sounds like you have your hands full :flower: I was just in 'sunny' (yet cold and windy) Grimsby last Saturday!

JenJen: Hope Martha's thrush clears up soon :flower:

Sethsmummy: Oh no, poor Ethan! Hope he gets sorted and feels better soon, sending you lots of hugs too, you must be so worried :hugs:
 
Sethsmummy, hope Ethan is ok and feels better soon!
 
Sethsmummy - sending you and Ethan lots of hugs, hope he is feeling better soon :hugs:
 
Sethsmummy hope poor Ethan recovers quickly!! And you too - you must be so stressed and tired :hugs:
 
Thanks Ladies. I managed to get him settled at 11 after some more calpol and he slept till 6:15am. He is still very grumpy this morning but doesnt have a fever just now :happydance: Although his nappy was empty so i need to get a lot of fluids into him. H.V is due out to weigh him this morning so will see what she says about the dry nappy situation. Thank you all so much for your support :cloud9: xxx
 
Great news! Glad he's on the road to recovery :)

We had an awful evening last night! Hubby was late home and Alfie wouldn't nap - he was awake from 5pm!! In the end he was so tired he was beside himself crying (so was I nearly!!) he didn't want food, changing or cuddles. We went to get fish n chips at 815 and he fell asleep in the car but as soon as we got home he was awake! Thankfully the nap calmed him a bit and he took a short feed then had his bath, another feed and went to sleep at 9.45. And slept til 6.15 with only one night feed in between :woo:
 
thanks hun. Sorry to hear Alfie had a bad evening hun! I hate when they get themselves so wound up that nothing will console them.. makes you feel rotten... im glad he went down in the end though hun and especially great about only 1 night feed! :happydance: Ethan hasnt been having any night feeds at all lately! he goes from 9ish till 5:30 normally now which is up time for him most days xxx
 
Wow kte... What were you doing in Great Grimsby?! It's such a small world.

Glad some of you are getting some good stretches of sleep!
 
Wow Rose thats a great night! Shame you had the unsettled evening though.

Just been to get Poppy weighed and she is now 9lb 11!
 
Amy_T: I have family there, my cousins, and it was my Aunt's 50th so we went up for a surprise party for her :thumbup: :cake:

Rose: Wow super sleep! :thumbup:

Sophie did great, two wakes still but she slept from 9.30 - 2 then and then from 2.30 until 5.30 but soon went back down until just before 7. I feel so much better for it.

Ooo best go, got to get Chloe from pre-school now!!
 
It is a small world isn't it.

Wow you've all done well with your sleeping haven't you... My older two dont sleep well let alone Holly!
 
I jinxed myself saying that it was quiet cause I haven't had time to post since!!! I am reading along whenever I can tho :flower: Like while walking along the tow path pushing an empty stroller while Hayden slept on me in a carrier :wacko:

Sethsmummy that's such a relief now :hugs:

Rose wow great night you had ;)

Afm, Kaylee and I have been in contact with a 10 month old that had finished hand foot and mouth disease a week or so ago. Hopefully he's not contagious anymore so it's a matter of time waiting to see if my baby has caught it or not :( :(
And a little 3 yr old sneeze in kaylee's face :growlmad: I know the little girl can't help it but I wish it didn't happen! I hope my LO doesn't get a cold or flu either.. :cry:
