LOl PB well if you snap the options there lol.

I just remembered pooo,m I think Madly once described it as curry paste. It can get out the sideif left to long but the stink tells you even if you missed thesound lol

Abby gnaws and shoves things in her mouth usually her top or muslin eugh. Matt had a tooth at 3 month so Ihave a minuture reason to panic. It's not hunger because she usually does it after a feed.

 

[pinkclaire]

Ozzie James STTN at 6 months, Charlotte 8 weeks (she's been doing it a week yay! Just need to hey James back STTN!!!)

Vbaby not to sure what's going on but hope your ok

Gilz still no answers eh? I feel for you, it's do rediculous I hope you get some improvement soon xx

Remember my Fijian neighbours? Theyre having another party been at it here since 4 am definately complaining to welfare this time! They know I have a newborn baby so rude.

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Maybe it's something with boys. Alex loves to be snuggled into me or sleeping at my breast or on my lap. I don't mind, but DH is getting a bit jealous, lol!

 

[PeanutBean]

Pink you're not on the first post either. What would you like me to put?

 

[molly85]

What Charlottes doing it tooo?????????? OK Abby can and does do 6 hours + i just don't take advantage of it.

LOL Abby just woke up winging MOlly and i looked at each other saying it's your turn that dog distinctly gave me a look like you gave birthto it you deal with it. lol Abby is on the front room floor on her play mat so Molly could go say hello cheeky mut.

 

[sequeena]

Fuck me newborn poos are a shock!!!!

 

[molly85]

black and like tar gross, they only get worse

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

ha ha sequeena, first post on the thread after becoming a mummy and it is poo centric lol lol poo will be your first talking point for at least the next year lol lol lol and then you get to potty training stage and then you will be talking about it again lol lol lol

i still dont know what those first meconium poos are like because leo breathed all his in poor thing, so with that first nappy for rachael it will be like first time mummy lol taking vaseline in with me as that is supposed to help lol

congratulations hun on finally becoming a mummy felt like you had bene in labour for like . . well forever!

 

[Ozzieshunni]

What's worse was when I went to change LO in the hospital and the poo just kept coming out! Just wait Sarah, lol! Alex has exploded out of a few nappies

 

[gilz82]

I missed the first gross poops. We didn't get to change Noahs til he was a week old so they were mostly just normal but tiny poos then.

Congratulations again Sequeena

 

[molly85]

vaseline? LOL don't let the midwives see it

Dream feeding during the day this is novel.

Ohh i have to write down all the pointless things i've tried because its now the done thing cotton wool and water is topof that list it you use sol much cleaning poo you findbits on the floor etc

 

[molly85]

gilz in some ways you were lucky there

 

[Ozzieshunni]

cotton wool with water was shite. I switched to wipes as soon as we got home.

 

[pinkclaire]

congrats sequeena!

Molly I've had hell with James' sleeping I deserve it lol.

Ozzie I def think that boys tend to like the closeness more, in most cases! James would still prefer to be snuggled up if he can whereas Lottie likes to be put down!

 

[madcatwoman]

Madly thats what DH says, that bailey only goes grumpy when hes home

Gilz!!poop shape poop?!!!hahaha, i know what you mean because baileys is usually like that!

Many congrats sequeena!

 

[PeanutBean]

I still swear by reusable wipes, better than everything for all kinds of poos. How are you getting on sequeena? It's exciting having a brand new mummy on the thread again.

We're at the miniature railway. DH has just gone on with Byron and I stayed in the car as Indigo was asleep. She's just woken. Boooo.

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

its funny isnt it the info you get told by midwives, mine is always saying dont forget the vaseline for babies bottom! lol to be honest i will have every intention of using it but then will forget . . i forgot to pack it with leo

i am thesame i switched to wipes when i got him home and actually his bottom went from having a massively bad nappy rash on it to being much better, i think by the end of his stay they were rushing his care abit in terms of nappy changes (he spent 5 days purely getting himself off 0.1 oxygen) and i swear they were soaking his bot bot and putting the nappy on. as long asi used the wipes, dried his bottom fully and then applied a little of his bum cream he bottom was always pretty much perfect after that!

 

[molly85]

the reusables would be good too. cottonwool bits all over bleugh.tofix abbys i used the dreaded cotton wool and baby lotion for a week her bums never been lovlier. now its just wipes shes not to great with the pampers sensitive of alll things

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Hi Ladies :wave:

Well we ended up staying in all day with all three kids because its been although now the sun is out I have had my niece all day whilst my Mum was working My Sister has been waiting all day to see the Dr about her and Harry been discharged but so far no Dr has surfaced dont understand why these maternity wards like to keep hold of people who could go home grrrrrrrrrr even the MW has started her discharge papers but cant do anymore until the Dr calls

I see we have another grad babe welcome baby Thomas and well done Sequeena

vbaby I hope you get your appointment real soon Because Charlie is waking up again like Teagan I wonder if it is a growth spurt rather than the teething with Charlie then he def is teething BUT maybe thats not the reason for him waking I remember Oliver starting early with the teething and having to get calpol around the 3mth mark although not sure when exactly really need to consult his journal As for poo Charlies was always what I would call mustard/korma coloured and kinda paste like although in the last two weeks its been more like you so vividly describe Teagans I loved your description made me We have taken this to mean he is now less constipated because he is past the 3mth mark and his stomach is working better Oh and before I forget DH wanted me to tell you that he backed an horse today called Teagan and it won he didnt win anything though as he put a tri-cast bet on but he wanted me to tell you all the same

Gilz hon I am so glad your appointment with Noah is tomorrow

Ozzie sorry you had a bit of a crap night Oliver slept through from 4wks but I put that down to been left to CIO on the neonatal unit when I wasnt around Charlie slept through from 8wks but I think he did it later because of the reflux .... every babe is different hon and lucky you seeing HP now if I could just pluck up the courage to leave Charlie we could go too and I agree its little boys because Charlie is a mummys boy and is never happier than in my arms/in the sling

@ your neighbours pink

I too switched to wipes as soon as I got home and got a frown from the MW for it when she called

My MIL is a nutter its official yesterday we called to see her after her nagging for us to take Charlie round (she has only seen him 5/6 times since he was born!) I think she has forgotten where we live As we were getting ready to go down DH asked me how I felt about leaving Charlie for an hour with her whilst we popped off with Oliver to run a few errands I wasnt too keen tbh but I said we would see how Charlie was once we got there ie not on your nelly if he happened to be in one of his unhappy moods When we got there she was asking how he was with the reflux etc and DH was telling her to which TWICE he had to shout his replies to her because she couldnt hear him/didnt understand This made me automatically dubious of leaving him I mean happen she didnt hear him crying if she wasnt in the same room as him or something so when she left the room I told DH I didnt want to leave him He was fine with it although you could see he really wanted me to leave him with her When she came back in she was holding him and he threw one of his hissy fits and she quite obviously couldnt cope with it but would she hand him over would she feck so I said it DH get him cause hes in a state DH got up and took him from her, she wasnt happy about it at all .... we have explained to MIL over and over again hes an unhappy chappy most of the time hence my mainly reluctance to leave him however she acts as if she can manage when yesterday proved that she cant or couldnt should we leave him with her She knows we have taken Charlie to the Drs time and time again and have been to the paediatrics with him several times because she has minded Oliver when we have had such appointments and DH has told her about them however she called last night and asked to speak with DH. She called to GET THIS!!!!!! Discuss `her` baby Charlie she has seen him an handful of times since he was born, she cant be arsed coming to see us (would rather go to her friends and get pissed!) and then she went on to say to DH isnt it about time I took him to the Drs like I havent been consulting our Dr about Charlie and his unhappiness, like I am some sort of useless mother she was going on and on on the phone and even DH got fed up with her. I think she did it to piss me off because I told her I didnt want her to mind Oliver for me this week I mean how petty He has a childrens yoga class I have booked him in mon-thurs every aft this coming week its called yogabugs and hes looking forward to it and I`m taking him because hes MY child not hers Sadly its now made me even wearier of leaving Charlie with her and its all her own doing

 

[sequeena]

Honestly? I'm terrified. Sean and I are being left to it and whilst I appreciate the time to bond I don't understand what I'm doing. I freak out whenever he's in the cot because I think something bad will happen. He fed for 25 mintes this morning with help but I can't get him to latch by myself. I expressed 2.5ml of colostrum and have done lots of skin on skin, teasing his nose with my nipple, blowing on him etc.

As fir the poos well I'm no nappy changing expert yet. I accidentally left one on too long and poop leaked all over his leg. His isn't like tar it's just dark and lots of it!!! To the point when I change him he continues to poop.

My midwives seem to encourage wipes lol!

Just waiting on the baby doctor who is over 4 hours late and I've not slept in over 24 hours.
