Morning all,
Loopy glad dylan is doing well!!

Madcat,teagan and bailey are the same age,and she has started waking again just in the last few days.I think its a growth spurt,or the ''wonder week'' as they call it.
I'm hoping its just a short phase and she gets back to how she was doing a couple of wks ago.She was going a good 10-12 hrs a night,it was bliss!!
As for milk consumption,she is such a small eater.She is on normally 4 bottles,or 5 now that she's back waking in the night,I'm making 6oz's,but the majority of time there's some left,and like you it takes a good 2 hrs to get it into her
I've no idea what she weighs,but is healthy looking and happy so I'm not worried.As far as weaning goes I'll just play it by ear.I've no plan as such,I'll see how she's doing around about the 4 month mark.At the moment she has such little interest in food I don't know if she'd even want to be spoonfed!!

Such a contrast to my boys!By now they were both downing 4 or 5 8oz bottles of hungry formula,and drinking it in 1 go,in like 20mins or so,they were so easy!!

Thanks for that info peanut!I think I'll stop googling and scaring myself,and ring the neurologist and see how long I'll be waiting for my appointment!

Good luck today tas!x

Oh thats interesting that teagan is waking in the night too then!
Im not sure, i might see what happens with a 6oz bottle over 2 hours as you do(?),try one now and then perhaps as i dont want to be wasting loads of milk!

Bailey however IS extreamly interested in food. He gets upset if im eating lunch or dinner and cant see me, i often sit on the floor with him instead and honest to god he watches every mouthful and started smiling as he watches me eat. The carpet picknicks have gotten a pain though so we ordered(&just arrived today) a highchair,its reclinable too which is handy. we havent tried him in it yet but if he sits in it ok then we can have him at the table, instead of me having to sit on the floor!

 

[vbaby3]

Aw the wee pet,he's definately interested in food then!!carpet picnics lol!
No Teagan has no interest whatsoever,and a lot of the time I feed her just coz its been 4hrs or more since the last 1,she usually doesn't cry to be fed,or look for food at all.
Even 1st thing when we get up,if the boys are up too I can see to them 1st and get theire breakfast sorted and she'll happily wait!
My boys used to scream the place down while I was heating their bottles,and I barely would have had the chance to pee if they were waiting on it!
She really couldn't be more different.
I weaned the boys at around 4 months,can't exactly remember when,it could have even been 4 and a half months.You'll know when he's ready coz mummys know their own babies best!

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

good afternoon ladies!

i have forgotten everything i have read already! doi! oh oh except something about love film i was going to look into that too because we dont appear to have a blockbuster around here at least no where close! no idea if lovefilm is any good though . . . .

well i finally got a call back about my birth situation and have an appointment again with the head midwife . . . again . . . cant wait to get it all over and done with now and know exactly what is going to happen. do you know what i wish after talking it through a bit on here . . . i wish instead of pushing me to the next appointment, getting aggressive with me and sweeping any previous mention of c section under the carpet i wish one of them had gone look as it stands it is only your fear stopping you vbac-ing why dont we have you talk to someone thoroughly and see if we can work through it if not at least we will have tried but no they just shut me up and pencilled me in for the next appointment

 

[madcatwoman]

oh wow vbaby, she doesnt cry to be fed?? bailey does, but only in the day time!, if he wkes in the night he just makes some funny little noises which-if re settling doesnt work then i try a bottle which does!.hes also stopped crying for his 1st morning feed too but as the day goes on he does cry for the rest.
well, its half hour later, 6oz feed, im down to 4oz and a snoring baby!lol and i have to get us ready for the nurse in 25mins

Hi Ladies :wave:

Tas I will post some picture for you of my balloons and I guess its too late now but goodluck/hope your interview went well

NOMORE our library does the circus workshop thing too I think its a book challenge of some sort

madcat Bailey is like Charlie with his milk hes still on 4oz taken every 3hrs or less sometimes just 2hrs and we have to sometimes give it a few goes within the 2hrs to get him to take it all which sometimes leaves you feeling you are constantly feeding him We too are weaning at 17wks because my little trial with the rice because he wouldnt take milk seemed to go well, he ate with gusto I too dont think Charlie is a big milk fan and I dont feel he will ever go over 4oz because when we do wean him I think his interest in milk will reduce more That said Bailey is doing very well weight wise hon so I reckon hes getting what he needs Charlie was 12lb and will be weighed again on Thursday at his jabs appointment it will be two weeks since he was weighed at 12lb so I am interested to see what hes gained

Hi Loopy :wave: glad things seem to be going well

madcat and NOMORE we subscribe to lovefilm.com and can highly recommend it they are super speedy sending discs out and quite often the day after we send one back they process it and send us an email saying the next one on our list is on its way which we recieve a day or two after the email ... all very quick and efficient

Happy 3 months old Teagan and Charlie

NOMORE I hope your appointment goes well

vbaby Charlie screams the place down where as Oliver was just like Teagan ready when I was

 

[molly85]

oh madcat take it with you as soon as he opens his mouyth to scream after the second one shove the bottle in

My neighbour has love film as swears by it shes had some very good films.

Abby stopped crying for a morning feed she crys to get me up little sod, so between half 7 and 8 am I am to be awake and doing as she requests. Got my own back today she got me up so hafter she decided she wanted a nap i washed her mwahhhhh. she loved it really


Today has been productive car got hoovered and cleaned inside the outside still needs work. Laundry on line. The cause of matts oil leak found the out of date MOT panicked over, I am not driving Abby in his car now so he will have to pay for it to be fixed as his friend who would do it as has a 3 day old and a 1 year old I am not asking him to do it and I am not driving it the 10 miles to my dad. Then to get it MOT'd. He's getting a slap when he gets up I believe risking our lives in a Un MOT'd vehicle is reason enough for one. Let along the £90+ it's going to cost to fix it. Once he's up and said yes he will pay ( hello over draft) it's off to the garage witha flea in its ear.

Good day all round. not sure I trust him with my car now so might be taking him to and from work YAY!

Little Harry update

Last night he was tolerating 12ml of milk which they were upping to 16mls during the night, the max he is allowed whilst on the fluids he was on 0.8% oxygen which they say he will be off in the next few days and then its just a matter of establishing a good feed before they allow him to come home

 

[molly85]

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I have been MIA but me & Jacob have been having a rough time at the moment.

For starters I had the coil fitted on Friday which is causing me alot of pain! I went back to have it checked and all seems fine with it but if I have pain still in the next 2-3 weeks they are taking it out....

Also Jacob has been feeding nearly every hour and half of between 4-6oz and promptly projectile vomiting they think it is his reflux because the milk sooths it whilst he is drinking it until it hits his stomach and come right back up so you can imagine I am drained, exhuasted & feeling really low.

HV has made me an appointment with the doctor to see about giving me some happy pills lol apparently they give these to most new mums who are feeling rather low before going down the PND route.

I have to admit I am feeling really low. I can't stop crying I have been just handing Jacob over to DH because I feel like I can't cope with looking after him anymore

I am going down to my mums in Reading on the 13th for a week for some help and abit of a break so hopefully combined with baby gavison and happy pills me and Jacob should be feeling better soon.

Sorry for the onesided post....I will try and catch up soon

Sofie youneed sleep not pils for godsake. Sorry being in the trade Happy pills will not make a tierd mummy happy. does he have a dummy? gilz gave me some nifty tricks to reduce the amount abby throws up and the dummy is one of them. Put it in straight after he eats. the sucking should send it allsouth encrease saliva and i think she said it helped close the tummy some how. we now get far less vomit. hugs hun by all means try thr pills but they take 3weeks to work fully ad you need to be weanedoff them.


here wheres sequeena?
