[Mrs. AJ]

Sorry you've had a rough time Nyn!

 

[DrGomps]

nyn, hope you feel better!!

Huggles, I hope getting your thyroid meds adjusted helps, how frustrating. Good on you to do all that pumping. I think I might have already given up.

Fides, maybe you can talk to a Dr to get a prescription to help with you supply. Sorry you are having to go through all this. Lovely baptism photos....

K8y, Leopard, we aren't baptizing Josephine either. We are bi-religious family (Jewish, Christian) so Josephine will have to decide for herself what she wants to do. We will educate her on both.

Fx'ed Mummapie that its not much longer for you!

Is there anyone else still waiting??

 

[qwk]

Hope you feel better nyn!

Re weight gain - we had to do the "come back in two days because he's not gaining yet" visit too, but he started gaining right at that time and gained 10 ounces in a day and a half try not to worry!

 

[Nyn]

Thanks girls

I'd love to add you ladies on fb... my name's Jenny Clarkson

Right am off to update the first page.. finally!!

 

[Mrs. AJ]

Abigail was born Dec 1/11 - (10 days over) So I no longer belong in the November thread! LOL

congratulations!!!

afm - FINALLY got on my laptop instead of my ipad, so here are two pictures of my precious Quinton!

awwww

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!

how neat! i love traditions like that!

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.

Am soooooooooooooooo sorry ladies.. I've not been well and have had a hard time over here.. but better now and WILL get this thread updated, I'm soooo sorry..

so sorry you've not been feeling well!


afm, 3 week check-up today: Jacob's up to 8 lb 8 oz, and has grown 1" since birth! sooooo glad he's gaining now.

also, he'd cried/screamed day/night with the donor milk we'd been giving him for the past week (we just thought he was colicky), but yesterday i gave him formula to see if maybe the donor milk just had something gassy in it. he was sooo calm on the formula. then, this morning i gave what i had pumped yesterday, and he cried and screamed again for 3 hours until the next formula-only feed. i've been avoiding gassy foods, so i know it's not that. midwife thinks it sounds like a food allergy, but of course we won't know for sure until we start solids... yep.

honestly, when i can pump 3/4 oz in a day, and i don't know what food is upsetting my son's stomach, i'm going to stop pumping now. anyone else formula feeding? it's weird - my son is a completely different baby now that he's had formula most of today & yesterday.

oh - dinner's ready, gotta go. you ladies have a wonderful evening!

 

[repogirl813]

fides i am formula feeding by my choice. I don't have any problems with Kyleigh she is gaining right on track with all the other babies on here. She also seems content during the day and is doing a wonderful job with sleeping at night. starting this week she has been sleeping anywhere from 8-11 hours at night

 

[Nyn]

think there may be a few people with my name on fb.

here's the link to my profile

re baptism..we're not doing it either..they can choose what they want to do when they're older

bf is going well..had a difficult time last week with colic but I think Ive got it sorted now..phew!

 

[Huggles]

hope you're feeling better now nyn.

Sunflower - hope baby starts gaining soon.

Fides - i'm formula feeding. Doesn't help my nights though But he is pretty happy on the formula. I add a few drops of colief to his formula as he struggles with cramps, but that has helped enormously. It helps break down the lactose into simple sugars so it's easier to digest.

 

[Leopard]

Health nurse says I might have to top with formula. I nearly told her to shove it up her a-hole
Oh well, will know more tomorrow.

 

[Mrs. AJ]

Fides, from what my pediatrician told us, the most common thing for an infant to be allergic to in breastmilk is dairy, so if you tried eliminating dairy from your diet that might help. Although it sounds like you are doing well with the formula, which is good!

 

[tlh97990]

nyn i added you!

fides i;m formula feeding and she has to be on soy formula because of a milk allergy..hopefully she outgrows it though..if you want to keep breastfeeding try eliminating dairy like someone else said and see if that helps and if it doesnt go for it with formula i have a happy healthy baby in formula

 

[you&me]

:wave: Just a flying visit as Mitch needs feeding before the school run.

Hope everyone is well

We are still EBF here, the lil fella is up to 9lbs 4ozs as of yesterday.

He also won't sleep in his basket, whereas my girls did, yet I have not done anything differently

 

[qwk]

You&me, love the name Mitch! Just noticed that

As for Q and me, we seem to have finally figured out how to use our ergo baby carrier and it's like a whole new world. My hands are free! He naps!

It's only been three days so I don't want to jinx it... I already cleaned the house though, feels so nice to not be strapped to the couch!

 

[Mrs. AJ]

Qwk, I love using the carrier too. Connor naps so peacefully, and I can actually get things done, it is wonderful!

wow - can't wait until he starts sleeping more like that - well done!!


and, thank you ladies for the suggestions, but we don't think it is milk or soy he's allergic to, since the formula is based on those and he's fine with it... we'll find out eventually!

 

[mummapie]

Sweep again tomorrow, please cross everything for me ladies! Otherwise I'm being induced Monday and won't get my water birth.

On the carrier front, does anyone have a moby wrap? I think my mum is getting us one for Christmas as ive been talking a lot about them and heard good things.

 

[qwk]

Oh mummapie! You poor thing, 42 weeks! Good luck with the sweep!!

I have a moby wrap, but I can't figure out how to get Q in it I am planning to go to a babywearing group meeting next week to get soe help though (and get out of the house !)

 

[MyTurnYet]

Was just looking at the first page...so amazed by all the babies!!

Thanks for updating Nyn!
