[RaRalalala]

Well something needs to! Was on bnb at half 4 this morning while Lexi decided to be wide awake! Lol

 

[Lollipopbop]

Yay, new thread!

How's everyone feeling? I'm feeling SO much better a week on, I can't believe how tired I was in the first few days!!

How's having two now LC?

xo

 

[RaRalalala]

I'm not tired but LO is a handful she wakes up screaming for food and I mean she HOWLS! Found myself sobbing as I was feeding her this morning, thank god for my mum!

Worries me that I'm panicking so much with her still =/

Hope everyone else is doing better!

 

[xx_Clare_xx]

Feeling pretty much the same here.. Emily sleeps all day and is awake most of the night. I cried my eyes out this morning coz I couldn't take much more! Chris gave her a bottle to allow me a couple more hours in bed but then I just felt guilty that she'd had formula!!!

Can't believe 10 days have passed already.. It's been hectic!!! Lack of sleep is a horrible thing and it doesn't look like its gonna get any easier any time soon!!!

Does anyone else not even know what day it is!!!! xx

 

[mare]

Thanks for starting this thread LC a fab idea great to keep the support from each other going!

You will all hate me lol but I'm finding it do easy at the moment (touch wood) my lo is so laid back it's unreal. He is golden. Breastfeeding really well and I also get loads of sleep at night. I deserve it though cbevause my 2 year old has been a little bugger for the last 12 months terrible twos!! But even he has been an angel lately!


My lo Lyes on his back but I swaddle him, maybee this is worth a try?

I wrote that wrong what I meant was it gets easier and then starts all over again when they hit the terrible two's

 

[Lollipopbop]

I'm sure it'll get easier girls (not speaking from experience though) haha. Johnny wakes up every 3-4 hours at night, it's getting pretty regular now. How often do your LO's wake at night? I'm expressing my BM and using formula and it's working out great, OH has been fantastic but he's back at work tomorrow Gonna miss him! xo

 

[Irish Eyes]

I'm so glad we have this one now! Well Logan is absolutely gorgeous but will not allow himself to be put down!!! He will sleep really well as long as he's on someone which is okay now as my hubby is here but not sure how I'll cope on my own & need to have a bath etc! I'm a really bad mum already as I've put him down in his moses basket on his front. I know we shouldn't but while I'm awake and watching him I figure it's okay, no idea what I can do at night time though. I've just ordered a sling to help and also to allow me to breastfeed in public better.

I really struggled for the first 5 days with excessive pain "down there" mainly I think from stitches. It's only been the last day or so that I've started feeling normal again and left the house.

I was thinking we should introduce ourselves a bit better now it's more private? I'm Tay, 28 years old and live in the Midlands.

 

[RaRalalala]

Oh I was sore too, still a bit 12 days on but I think that's because mine were quite bad with theatre and stuff

Sounds good to introduce ourselves a bit more

I'm Sara, I'm 21, I'm a single parent and I'm from Aberdeen

 

[Aidan's Mummy]

Nice to see all the may babies and mummies

I am so tired and I think I am coming down with a cold, my whole body aches. Oliver is pretty good although he is hard to get to sleep after his last feed at night. I sat a sobbed my heart out earlier and I'm not really sleeping due to me having an irrational fear about SIDS. I had PND with my first son so the MW is keeping a close eye on me after I told how how I was feeling Is anyone else feeling down? I'm oping it's just tiredness because I couldn't cope with PND again it was horrible last time. On a good note breastfeeding is going well, I have plenty of milk which is brilliant and I breastfed in public yesterday, I was so nervous but i did it x

Emily is exactly the same Tay.. She'll sleep on us absolutely fine but not in her moses basket!! We've been laying her on a pillow on our lap then when she's completely zonked out then I move the pillow onto the bed next to me.. Was totally against having my baby sleep in my bed but I've slept a few nights in the spare room without Chris and it's worked well. She seems comfier and sleeps longer.

She's only sleeping for 2 hours through the night and is awake for 2... You're do lucky to get 3-4 hours lollipop!!!!

Ive been wondering how old everyone is actually.... Lol
I'm Clare, 30 from just outside Edinburgh.

Yes she just said she will keep an eye on it and to tell her if I feel any worse. She is ringing me today to arrange a time for me to take Oliver to the clinic so I think I will say something then x

 

[mare]

It just proves having a baby is not as easy as it seems it is the hardest but most rewarding job in the world being a mommy

Im 32 (feeling old now lol) my names Sarah x

Hi

Five minutes peace! Glad you are all ok, aiden's mummy, hope you are feeling better soon. It's so nice to hear we are all in the same boat. Ava, has decided she likes to sleep on her side and now we have realised that things have been much better. She had actually rolled onto her back this morning, when she woke - so I know she can sleep on her back, yay.

Having two is a nightmare, Ava seems so much easier than Will. But then that may be because he is such hard work. My beautiful blue eyed boy has turned into a monster. Won't do anything and won't go to bed and sleep through - urghhhhh. He's worse than Ava. DH has been sorting him out but is getting exhausted and has had to go to work today. Ava slept and I was up for an hour in the night scratching and then at 5:30 am with Will.

I seem to have come up in a hideous rash, that is soooo itchy. So off to the Dr for me tonight before I scratch my skin off.

I'm Vicky and 33, I'm in Devon.

 

[RaRalalala]

Well I'm feeling extremely young haha not as bad as in the hospital though since I look about 15 everyone was assuming I was 15 with a baby lol

L-C I'm glad to hear you've discovered how to have a quieter night with Ava, I'm still trying to figure out what will make Lexi sleep better, though my sleep positioner is due to be delivered today so here's hoping it'll help tonight!

Anyone else finding their LO's sleep all day and scream all night? It's difficult because at two weeks I can hardly keep her awake =/ this parenting malarkey sure is difficult! Lol

 

[Irish Eyes]

Rara - Logan is definitely a night baby! He's pretty good at the sleep/feed pattern during the day but it gets to about 5pm and he starts getting really fussy. I've started co-sleeping with him which is easier for feeds but even then he's not a fan of sleeping on his back. I'm hoping this is something he's going to grow out of. I really didn't want to co-sleep as my DH is such a heavy sleeper he won't share a bed if Logan's in it so we've spent the last 2 nights apart

Clare we'll have to make sure we swap notes if either of ours actually starts sleeping in their crib or moses basket, I feel like it's never going to happen!

Vicky I have no idea at all how you're dealing with 2, I seriously don't think I could manage.
