Good luck bizy!!

Meow we have a nappy change screamer too, and that's nothing compared to bath time, haha!!

How are you finding the bottle feeding
Meow? Has your milk dried up now? Sam is loving it, so am happy with our choice xx

 

[meow951]

Josh screams at bath time too! I'm hoping he'll get better at nappy changing but doesnt seem to be yet lol

The first couple of days he seemed to hardly take any milk and was feeding quite often but now he'll go about 3 hours and usually takes 2oz- 2&3/4oz. We're using the doctors browns bottles and they seem really good. He can bring up his burps quite easily.

The 3rd day was horrendous, my boobs were like rocks and were so painful. The next day they were better but still sore and then after that they were fine. They leaked for a few days but have basically nearly dried up now, I thought it would take a lot longer actually.

We are using tommee tipped and SMA and it seems to thankfully be perfect for Sam. He has been taking one ounce every three hours but today has had more 1.5-2 ounces so is starting to take more. So far he has winded really easily and settles perfectly in the day buy takes abit longer on his feed around 2, but slept until 7 today which was fab, I was just soo flappy to sleep too!!

My milk started last night and they are sore today but hopefully tomorrow will be better. xx

I have a nappy screamer too but he loves a bare bum! Once the nappy is actually off he loves it.

Hope wild is managing some sleep today!!

sickness is around but no where near as badly, im suffering with monster headaches everyday at the mo, but no swelling or high bp, so paracetamol it is, now im awake sienna is asleep typical, but school run in 20 mins so no point me sleeping now. x

I've had a couple of drops on my bra, I haven't put pads in as I got two freebies in my bounty packs and they were lovely, but the mothercare ones I got really hurt when I put them in, so OH is off ti get some of the nice ones later. First MIL is visiting.

Sam is winding like a star now, can't stop it coming up.

How are you feeling new? xx

 

[24/7]

Its making me abit emotional reading our happy baby posts, its just such wonderful ends for us all. xx

 

[hopefulmama]

24- you haven't found that the tommee tippee leak badly? Everyone I speak to says they are the worst with leakage, I bought a bunch for when i pump and then was told how horrible they were and read about 200 reviews that said the same thing.

 

[24/7]

I have found them absolutely perfect, no leaking, very little wind for Sam and no bringing up milk atall. My friend uses avent, not sure if you have them, and she hates them. xx

 

[wild2011]

hopeful, i used tommee tippee closer to nature bottles on 3 lo's they are perfect! never ever had a leak x

 

[new_to_ttc]

Im feeling good thanks 24. So glad everything is settling down now hun. How's Sams head?

Damm OH for phoning huh wild!!

I used Avent bottles for Joshua and found they were leaky unless you got the lids 100% on right. Never tried any other though lol and not looked at bottles this time, still adamant not to buy and keep going with the BFing as long as I can

I was just adding some photos to my laptop from my camera and found one of George smiling (I know I know!! lolol but I can believe it lol) And there is a stunning naked playtime shot of him with Joshuas hand just in the shot and George is looking at him, not sure I'd be allowed to put it on here though its totally exposed?? Looks gorgrous though! Got a post belly picture of me too just asked my dad to take it, doesnt look as bad as i thought roll on when I can get toning lol

 

[mummy3]

Good luck bizy

24/7, I was told to take 2 paracetamoland 3 ibuprofen postpartum, we got send home with a load too lol and it does help. Cant say I really got hormonal

Wild headaches are nasty!

lisa sorry about the mil

Eilidh has graduated to newborn clothes

 

[mummy3]

Hopeful how you feeling today?

 

[new_to_ttc]

yay Eilidh!!! She must be really doing so well and growing well now!! George is graduating out of newborn already lol he is just too long!

 

[24/7]

Aww, George looks fab!! Here is Sam.... Head is much better now thanks new, a completely different shape!!

I got given no advice re painkillers?! Funny really, give birth with G&A for contractions, but nothing for pushing yet am loading up now. xx

 

[hopefulmama]

24- I bought 3 different brands, tommee tippe closer to nature, dr browns and playtex drop ins and the medela bottles that came with my pump but i know those suck.. Figured i'd try and see which worked best. The dr browns i haven't used with milk obviously, but I have noticed the tops are very hard to take off to the point i cut my hand and one of my friends uses the dr browns and has same issues.. i'm sure every bottle has some sort of issue..

mummy- i feel fine today, i felt fine yesterday just sort of venting on my feelings.

lisa- sorry about your problems breastfeeding, why don't you hire a lactation consultant?

 

[heyyady]

Awwww, New! What beautiful boys!

Charlotte has moved into newborn size, she's so long for her size! 5 1/2 lbs and 19 1/2 inches now! Rochelle (Mighty Mouse lol) is 5 lbs and 18 1/2 inches long! Their fingers are INSANE long- I'll try to get a picture today

 

[new_to_ttc]

Awwww sam looks so adorable, look at his little mass of hair!! did you have heartburn hun??

I think the adrenaline masks a lot of the pain during labour definitely during delivery lol My hospital sent me with co-codamol said I can have 2 every 4 hours if I need them, but I dont, I just need 1 start of day and 1 towards the end. I did have 1 midday too but I dont seem to get the pain as much already so skip that one. Take what you need to take hun,. make sure you're comfortable you can always cut some out over the next few days and see how you get on.

Heyy definitely get some more pictures, have you had any of them at home on? I bet I missed tham as Charlotte came home as I was going in!

 

[heyyady]

Charlotte at home- we were on BnB

 

[24/7]

Lots of heartburn and reflux!! in labour the gas and air was drying my mouth as acid came up my throat. xx
