Yer we are, I need too ring them and ask them the temperature but I think my friend said it was 34 not sure though, does that sound about right? Arabella loves the bath she splashes her hands and legs so hopefully she won't mind it too much xx

swimming sounds really fun...
wow, wtt, can't believe how big your baby is..
You&me...we will definitely be waiting a few years...but hats off to you for managing it.
I think Josie might be teething too as she is drooling a ton and is a big more fussy then usual and is sucking on her hands alot.

Hi ladies
Sorry I've not been around much. Andrew doesn't give me much handsfree time to type but I do have plenty of reading time though!
Here's a couple of pics. Same car seat but one was taken when he was 2 days old and the other was taken when he was 7 weeks old!
I got him weighed yesterday (8w5d) and he was 9lb 9oz. He'd put on a massive 25.5oz in 20 days so the HV is much happier with us both. We're still mixed feeding and so far I've not needed to increase his formula intake (he's still on 3 x 5oz bottles per day). I have upped my fenugreek to see if it will boost my supply.
The only real issue I have with him at present is overnight behaviour. He has a bottle somewhere between 11pm and midnight and then goes down to bed. He wakes around 3.30 am for a feed but if I try and put him back in his bed he kicks off. He ends up in bed with us with his nose pressed against my nipple and if I dare move he has a right tantrum. Not good for either of us as I'm just not sleeping. I'm lucky if I get 2-3 hours sleep a day at the moment.
Tonight I'm going to try bringing him downstairs for his feed, rather than doing it in bed, and then try to put him down to sleep in his bed. It will be tough to break the habit but it'll be best for both of us.

pip i hope u can start to change his sleep schdule i was just wonder do u give him a bath every night.. I started at a month old giving Ella baths everynight in johnson & johnsons bedtime bath at 9 - 9:30 since she loves her baths.. than she gets her night time bottle and is out atleast by 10- 10:30 til between 4:30 or 5am. At first she waas getting up at 3 or 3:30 but the past week its been the 4:30 -5 am!! oh and i also rub her down in the bedtime lotion before she gets her bottle. Maybe this might help u get him to sleep better.. WISHING YOU LUCK!!

Hi
He has a bath with J&J products every other night followed by a massage with Oilatum. Then he's in his pjs and sleeping bag.
There was some discussion on MrsAJ and DrGomp's journals about how sleep patterns change for the better when they hit 12lb so I'll hold out for that!

hope the sleeping gets better soon pip.
We also have a bedtime bath routine - bath at 7:30, then bottle between 7:45-8pm(depending when we're finished the bath). Then he goes down to sleep really quickly and sleeps until around 3am (occasionally 4am but usually 3). He knows the routine cos if you take to long to give him his bottle after the bath he starts crying. His tongue starts making the sucking motion even before i sit down!

I never knew that about 12lbs but I bet it's right, I havent had Annie weighed for a few weeks but I bet she's about that now and she's started sleeping 5 - 7 hours a night now and is mostly in her own bed (I think she's teething so she's been in with us a few nights when she's not settling, hugs seem to make her feel better!)
Bathtime before bed doesn't work for me, she loves the bath that much that when she's taken out of it she goes mad! She used to go that mad that she'd poo and we'd have to bath her again, thankfully that's stopped now though! We bath her in the morning instead which works quite well as she's a bit of a sweaty baby during the night - she won't sleep unless she's toasty warm!
Today I'm off to meet the girls I met in hospital who were induced at the same time as me, their babies were born just a few days earlier than Annie but are both so much bigger - one was 14lbs at 6 weeks! I can't wait to see them again.

3 teeth already??!!!! Poor Freya, poor you!!
Ioan is exactly 2 months today and weighed 14lb 6oz on Friday and was 60cm long!!!! He too definitely has no pattern with sleep. He's begun a feeding frenzy between 9-1 the last few nights then will sleep till 4ish and then up again 7-8ish. He rarely sleeps in the day unless we're out!
