Lovely pics fides! The gown is beautiful! I am excited to have Quinton baptized too, though not sure when that will be yet...

Thanks tlh- we actually did just bring back the swaddle a bit ago, and it helps, but little guy still has a lot of problems with solo sleep - don't know if I just need to keep repeatedly putting him down or what. Usually I give up eventually (like now, I tried numerous times to get him down to no avail - he'd wake up within5 or 15 minutes, so I just let him sleep on me - he's been sleeping for 2.5 hours on me )

fides- he is beautiful and so is the gown! im going to get my daughter baptized when we move back by my family and we also have a gown that has been in my family for years. my great great aunt made it for my mom and its been worn by numerous people in my family so im excited my daughter will get to wear it too!

qwk- i was the same way i just wanted sleep and if the only way i got it was with LO sleeping on me i'd take it. i just kept trying to lay her down and id sit up for 10 minutes and if she stayed asleep id go to bed if not we were sleeping on the couch..eventually she was content without sleeping on me

this is a TMI question..but has anyone had their period yet since giving birth? i know a lot are breastfeeding and your period can be delayed. but is it ok to use a tampon yet? i had my 6 week check up yesterday (even though its been 5 weeks) and i was given the ok to go back to work and have sex so does that mean its ok to use a tampon?

 

[pip7890]

I seem to think you're okay to use a tampon for the first AF after the lochia has stopped. So, if the lochia is all dried up and you've now started your period I would imagine you're fine.

Anyone having problems with vasospasm?

My LLL leader suspects I may be suffering with this, particularly in the left nipple. It's likely caused by a combination of damage caused by surgery and Andrew's occasional lazy latching/feeding.

Health Visitor due tomorrow. Let's hope he's gained since last week.

Can't believe WB will be 4 weeks old tomorrow, and exactly a month old on Friday (which is also his big brother's 15th birthday!). Time is flying by.

Here's a picture taken at 3 weeks.

Can anyone tell me about their induction experience? I'm pretty sure I will be going to hospital next Monday for mine and I'm terrified. Obviously I'm hoping it won't come to that and he'll turn up before but I just want to hear about other peoples experiences.

Just had Eden's first weight check since she was born - she's 5 days old today. Turns out she's lost 11% of her birth weight, down from 10lb 7oz to 9lb 4oz Thing is she's feeding well (or I THOUGHT she was) at the breast and she's pink and alert and isn't jaundiced... the midwife said she's not worried because of all those things, but that she needs to be weighed again in 2 days to see what her weight does. She feeds every 3-4 hours for between 15 and 25 minutes, she always comes off the breast herself, I never detach her, and if I offer her the breast between feeds she doesn't take it so I know she's not hungry :S I'm worrying now though and thinking maybe my milk just isn't enough for her and should consider formula or something...

my daughter is formula fed and she wasnt back to her birth weight until she was almost two weeks old so dont get discouraged!

 

[wtt :)]

Sun flower, don't get discouraged!! They are pissing me off too with their weight checks but i know he eats enough as he is happy, healthy and has plenty of wet and dirty diapers within 24hrs. Give BF a chance and don't let them talk you into FF.

 

[pip7890]

Induction and big weight drop when breastfeeding - I've got experience of both and posted a few pages back. I'm on my phone so can't post a link but it's there and in my journal (link in siggy).

Sorry I can't help more.
