Mother of all conception months Graduates

[madcatwoman]

Good morning all
im sat in the living room with me laptop and bailey snoozing besides me,soo much better.
he did really well last night and woke at 6.15, 2 mins before DHs alarm went off

Madly i hope the HVs arent making too much of an issue with the weight thing, i think as long as charlie is healthy and he keeps gaining something each month then thats ok tbh, we dont all grow up to be the same build as each other and i dont see how babies are much different

Thankyou for your supportive replies on that silly post, daft girl, was she hoping for induction to tickle the spot and i ruined the illussion?

Gilz, i have mailed you, but i just think its down to trying weening with Noah now!

we had an event this week. Bailey started sitting up in his bumbo unaided!!. his head used to flop backwards but now hes fine, a bit wobbly but he can do it on his own now

Tas you're not going to be able to stop them smoking in their own house so you'll need to find out where it comes through and fill the hole. We get next door's smells coming through the bathroom floor/wall join so we filled the box round the toilet pipe with existing foam. It reduced it but didn't stop it. It's kitchen smells. Their's is in the single storey sticky out bit where our utility is do I think it gets into the roof space there and as we've no hatch we can't examine it.

We're going to Magna today. Hopefully that's all open!

Thanks pb! I'm looking into an air purifier I can get it on my OHs very account as we don't have the cash but it's £140 I know it's worth it but it's alot! When we get some cash hopefully this weekend we'll get some filler and do around the skirting boards that attaches to there house and there is a hole where pipes are in Calebs room so I'll fill that too! Is there anywhere else I can get air purifiers from?

eugh girls specially them who spd my hips are killing me ijust had to snuggle abby in bed this morning before i could move it was horrific. getting the midget weighed today any bets?

 

[madcatwoman]

I have to admit, my spd pain went within a week of having bailey

I have a greedy baby. He still wants to feed today. Only woke up ONCE last night We had the HV round and I told her about it and she suggested a bottle of boiled cooled water once a day because he's gaining weight and it shouldn't hurt him. He was 10lbs 12oz today. Also to try infacol to help his wind. What do you ladies think about the water? I've always heard bad things and I know better than to ask in Baby Club

 

[molly85]

i've used boiled water when we had those hot nights it saved us all. As you have just started the dummy I would wait and see maybe a week or soo. Ihave heard of BF babies refusing the bottl later on and deffinatly refusing water its not as sweet so from that aspect if hes tasted it early it won't phase him later

 

[molly85]

ohh girls who are on emmasdiary has anyone else been offered a photo shoot and picture free?

 

[Ozzieshunni]

The dummy ruined his latch so we have stopped it. He wasn't taking enough breast tissue just the nipple. I'll speak to DH as I don't think I can bare to give him a bottle

 

[molly85]

in that case i wouldn't. you could try a syring but that takes ages and isn't that great or a cup or just battle on through. Apart from going out your OH sounds reaonable so canlook after you so you can concentrate on feeding.



Abby has found the toys on her play mat at last

 

[tas1]

Ozzie I must have missed something why are you giving him water?

Caleb has had his second lot of injections it was two again one in both legs but next time it's three injections he screamed coz he just got to sleep then got stabbed! Then I had my coil check and my threads were sticking in to me and the pains could be my body trying to reject it and I could bleed up to a 6-12 months but I'm not leaving it that long!

[molly85]

how kind of them get the thing out.

I might just ask to try the pill and make matts job to give it to me, then he is also responcible if i get pg i dnt like hormones but realised wen we have another i won't be able to enjoy abby as much as I won't be able to walk or play

 

[tas1]

I am thinking of having it out it's more hassle than anything I know it's gonna stop me from getting pregnant but I would like to be able to have sex or go swimming!

Jo I struggled when I was pregnant with Caden and he is 3 so quite independent but towards the end I just couldn't be bothered to go out

Xx

 

[pinkclaire]

See I've been fine on mine but it might be where I'm bf.

PB I love magna! I cant wait to take James there!

Molly that was the thing I found the hardest with James, I'm glad I wasnt pregnant all summer as it would have killed me

 

[Ozzieshunni]

She suggested water to give me a chance to recoup my supply since he's feeding constantly and spitting up after almost every feed. She thinks he's over full. I don't know if I'll try it. She said it would do no harm since he is gaining weight steadily. I can't believe he's gained almost 2lbs in a week!

 

[gilz82]

What am I missing regarding giving water? I've been told to give it to Nosh since 6 weeks because all his reflux meds cause constipation, that's by HV and paediatrician. Are you not supposed to?

 

[madcatwoman]

ive been giving water to bailey when he was constipated hun

heres bailey showing off in his bumbo this week

 

[vbaby3]

Hi girls,
just trying to catch up there!!!!
I personally don't give a small baby water,unless constipation is an issue.Everyone has a differing opinion on this 1,different hv's will tell you different things.
In my opinion if a baby is looking for food,its milk they want not water,and I don't give water to try get out of the nightfeed either!But thats me,and each to their own etc lol!!

Molly I wouldn't worry about abby only taking 24ozs,Teagan isn't taking that much yet and she is way way bigger!Abby is really only the size now of lots of newborns,so she's doing well I'd say.

Gonna read that thread now madcat about the induction!
Madly,I really wouldn't worry too much.Teagan eats so very little for her size,and she has dropped way down on the charts,but really,just because she was born at 9lb 1,it doesn't mean she's gonna stay heavy iykwim??I would say the same with charlie.
I thought she would be busting out of 0-3 month clothes by now but she actually isn't,just some of the very small fitting stuff.x

Well we'd a lovely day out at the zoo yesterday,then went visiting my family.Today we went up north shopping,got loads of stuff for shays 5th birthday party in a couple of wks!!!!!
Teagan must've been wrecked coz last night she slept from 10pm straight through until 8am this morning!!!And stupid me heard her stirring at 6am,so got up and went downstairs and brushed my teeth and got a coffee etc,just to find she was still panned out!!Oh well,I got to catch up with some of the shows I had sky plussed!!

Madcat,teagan can sit no bother in her bumbo too.Don't know for how long though.I didn't get much use out of mine with oran,he used to straighten his body and lift his butt out of it from a very young age,monkey boy lol!
