lol yea they told me in inches i didnt know what it meant in cms :haha:. Me and OH think shes just making up for getting to escape a week early lol..
I always feel like I smell like milk well OH actually told me I did the other day. Feels like my boobs never stop leaking my shirts are always soaked after feeding. On another note though I have lost 13 lbs since she was born :happydance:
 
My boobs only leak a little bit. I am always concerned I may not produce enough milk but then, she doesn't seem hungry so I guess all is good.
Modo, that sucks that your nipples are cracked =S

So... last night I gave in and gave her a pacifier. For some reason I cannot explain, I don't like pacifiers. but she was super fuzzy and her diaper was fine, she want hungry, i didnt know what else to do. it really helped calm her down but i cried for like half an hour :dohh:
the fact that my boob wasnt enough to make her feel better made me cry soooo much. stupid mommy guilt and pp hormones :)
 
Nits don't worry. I did the same thing last week. Ashlynn just wouldn't settle... Gave her a paci and she fell asleep instantly. Even though it broke my heart!!
 
I didn't last a day without the pacifier. I'm all for making everyone's lives easier.
 
Wet still trying to find a dummy that works, teddy is hit and miss with whether he'll take one, he likes to suck mine or DHs little finger though and often goes to sleep like that!
He's just thrown up on my bed, DH and jess are asleep though so I just cleaned it with wipes and put a blanket over it. How disgusting am I! Anything to go back to sleep faster lol x
 
Hey girls, hope its ok to post here...I'm normally on the other May thread as my little girl Lola was born on 9th May.

Just reading what you have said about pacifiers/dummies have any of you heard of the Dunstan Baby Language DVD? My sister bought it for when our niece was born and although I have a very content baby I watched it and it is really good.

Basically all babies make certain sounds when they cry because of their natural body reflexes. So from watching the DVD I can now tell whether my baby needs feeding, winding or to sleep...I still have another DVD to watch to learn more. I'd definitely recommend it.

That is also what the youtube clip that I posted a few pages back is about although no one commented about it.

We also give a binky (pacifier/dummy or tutti in Finnish!) at least when ds2 is in his bouncer while we eat as a family. Sometime I give it other times too. The infant need to suck is just so strong that they still have it even if they don't need anymore milk and are spitting up. Ds1 also liked our fingers but wouldn't take a binky. Babies suck a pacifier differently than the breast so they have to learn to keep it in their mouths. It helps to push and pull it gently in and out of the mouth in a suckling kind of motion. It can take a little but they usually grab on.
 
Many comments about pacifiers!
I don't feel guilty anymore. My mom and my inlaws thought it was hilarious thAt I cried over it...
Anyway, she kind of likes it but she let's me know if she wants myboobs instead.

Ive seen that video posted in a few threads. I have to watch it. So far, when she cries, I just go down the list of possible reasons and she usually calms down. The one year old girl thati watch, though definitely has different cries depending on what she wants.once I learned them, I got really good at knowing what she needed.
 
I'm with Kendra on the paci issue...lol. What ever it takes to get baby to settle.

Monique. I watched the video, and while I could recognize the different sounds on the video, Gabe only seems to have one noise, full out wail! Lol... Sometimes I hear the "I'm hungry" sound, but not very often....
 
Hello!

Happy month birthday, Gabe! =D


We went to the pediatrician today. At 3 weeks old, she's just above birth weight. She gained 3 ounces this last week (they like to see 3 and a half to 7 ounces a week). She is obviously getting some food but not as much as they'd like, so thye had me contact a lactation consultant. I left her a message but she hasn't called back, I will call again tomorrow.

I guess it never hurts to check with a specialist but I am wondering if this is just the way she is? 0.o
I don't know, I don't get leaky boobs and I can't pump much milk when I try, maybe there is something going on with my milk supply...

Besides that she is a happy and healthy little girl, except that she has thrush on her tongue. They gave us some drops for that.
 
I hope its ok for you :flower:.. some babies do gain a lot slower then others so it just might be that..

Kacey still won't take a pacifier. Tried different brands. I think its just the taste or texture of it as shes make a really weird face and spits it out right away. I wish she would take one. It would make getting an extra min or 2 to do my online courses or eating or anything easier
 
Teddy is 4 weeks old today! And we are still managing to combi feed, so I'm pleased with my little self :)
Me and DH are going on our first date night since having teddy tonight, we've not left him before and I'm nervous! Don't really want to leave him but were only going to the cinema and he'll be with my sister so i know he'll be fine. I don't remember feeling so apprehensive about leaving Jesse though! We were originally going to go for food too but I don't want to be out that long on our first time!
 
Boothh I take my hat off to you. I wouldn't be able to leave ashlynn.

Do any of you have/use a moby wrap??
 
Purple, Amy will only take the pacifier if she isn't hungry.if she is, she makes that face and it's it out too.

Becki, have fun tonight! What movie are you watching? We haven't seen the avengers yet... We had other things going on :)
The dark knight comes out soon. I think that will be our first movie night since amy was born.

Anti, I dont, but I have a tiny fabric baby carrier for newborns which is very useful. I love it! The ergo is too big for her yet.
 
Nits - were going to watch 'the pact' it's only an hour and a half so we'll only be out just over 2 hours, he won't even notice were gone as he'll be asleep, but I still don't want to leave him!
I really need some time out of the house to feel 'normal' though, I felt amazing since teddy was born, but now I'm starting to feel abit emotional and keep having mood swings, DH is pissing me off big time at the moment, I need a break!
