Aww, everyone's babies are doing great!

rae - the smiles are just the best, arnt they!!
becky - jacob looks soo cute in his raindeer outfit!
jem - hope Ollie is feeling better soon
bex - sounds like you have a little fighter there, were here and rant away if you need to.

Were doing fine, I now fit into all pre-preg jeans! Although i'm not my ideal weight and OMG i need to go get measured for new bra's, my bb's have disappeared!!
Aidan is a star, he's such a good baby. He's waking once during the night, then around 6 -7am for a feed.
Cant believe he's 4 weeks old tomorrow!!

Afternooon ladies
It's so good to hear from you all, Glad to see the old bunch back together, along with some lovely new.
Will add you to the main page LollyLou1

Rosie is a little cutie, she is asleep at the moment, after her last 4oz feed at 2pm, she is eating brilliantly, 4oz every 4 hours, waking once in the night, exactly like you Charliebear then again at 6/7am.
Have the health visitor popping round tomorrow so will update all then.

I wish I could get her on a better feeding schedule! She's taking 3oz every 2-3 hours or so, then 1 hour later she wants another oz. I feel like I spend half my day sitting down just feeding her! But she won't take 4 oz at once, she spits it back up Maybe she'd actually sleep in the day if she could take more. Broken feedings are so time consuming

Hiya everyone!!!!! Good to see you all again!
Oliver is having a growth spurt I think. He spent 2 hours n my boob, had a 40 minute break, then just spent another half an hour feeding!! I'm gonna be knackered at this rate!!!
Glad I just bought a whole bunch of next size clothes for him!!!

 

[luvbunsazzle]

She will get there Rae, Rosie use to eat like there was no tomorrow, i'd feed her, but like you she'd only take a couple of oz, then an hour later she'd want more, and it would just go on and on, it's only this last week she is begining to do the 4oz 4 hourly.

Kat thats so sweet a little growth spurt!!! Bless him, how much does he weigh now?

 

[XKatX]

He is 10lb 7oz now. Was 8lb 1oz at birth. I can't believe he is feeding again now!
And to make things worse, hubby is out to his christmas do tonight, so can't even get a break between feeds if he carries on all evening. plus, it's probably messing with my milk supply and I'll spend the next few days with huge, leaking bb's!!!!

 

[luvbunsazzle]

Awww hun, that sucks alot, i hope he rests soon for you.
Awww he's doing well with his weight, thats brilliant. Bless him.

I'm with you on that Josh spent all morning latched to me then we escaped to asda now he's back on again. I'm sure one bb always ends up bigger than the other, plus its the only one that leaks. Tommorrow he wont want as much and then they'll end up swollen and painful. If that happens i could express bu that might just make it worse, lol.

 

[Jem]

Glad to hear all the babies are doing well!!! Fab news! Ollie is still poorly bless him and so am I. Faith seems to be getting over the cold and so is Tim. So just me and Ollie now that are lurgified. It's tiring me out at the mo as he's unsettled at night because he's so bunged up and coughing so much. I've got him so propped up in his moses basket to help him breathe better but it's just so horrible I can't do anything for him x

 

[Eoz]

My ladies are back xxxx

Well hello to you all and to the newbies!!

Bex my darling huge hugs xxxxxxx

You all sound like you doing so well,Me ha ha ha ha why the bloody hell did I do this again!!! is all I do!

My 2 year old has become a little madam and I'm ripping my hair out.I can't get dressed in peace.Sometimes never.Every day is a challenge.When I bf Abi lou,Madison climbs all over me or demands a story or a game.I try to co operate but it's so hard.The older 2 are fab and doing all they can to help and I adore them.

As for Abigail-Louise well she is amazing.Don't get much sleep though as Madam aka Madison likes to practise her new found vocabulary at full volume.I have never ever used a Dummy but had to as the poor sod will be as sleep deprived as me. She feeds every 2 hrs and I do a formula top up at 10pm to get us both some much needed sleep.She goes til 3 then 6 then 9.then its every 2 hrs.She poops for england and the poor bugger has a very sore bum.She was weighed last week and was 8lb 5oz so doing very well.

I love all my kids but f**k me never ever will I do it again.Especially with a 2 year old. All I want to do is and sometimes just run away!I get sod all done and I just wish I had some support but hey life goes on

to you all xxxxxx

hi nov mummies............ god its lovely being a mum isn't it, but its tiring. I knew life changes drastically with a baby, but i never imagined just how much. Im adjusting well but im tired. My little Harry is 11lbs already. He was 9lbs born and last weigh in was at 3 weeks... actually, he is prob bigger this week... little pudding. I put pics on my birth story after i finally figured put how to. xx

 

[Jem]

Aww 4th bump, bless you, sounds mad in your household! I'm finding it tough at the mo as Ollie is sooo poorly, I just feel so helpless. Bloody cough and cold!!!!

Bambino your little pudding is doing fab!!!

Got another car last night so feel better for having a set of wheels again! Was nervous driving to tots today though but did it x

Hi all xxx

He's so good! Goes down about 9ish after having spent the whole evening feeding! Then he either has a feed around 5, then one at 7, then snoozes again for an hour or 2. Or he sleeps through the night til 6/7ish. He feeds about every 2/3 hours during the day. So his routine is pretty good for a 6 week old! Had 6 eek check today and doc said he was doing brilliant for his age. So thats a good start!

 

[Jem]

That's great Kat! Good boy Oliver!

My postnatal check is 30th Dec so it's now my 9 week check up rather than the normal 6week check up. No idea why my docs have decided that but hey ho! Feels like I'm waiting forever for it! x

 

[sam#3]

Hi all!!
Everyone seems to be doing really well so well done Nov mummies!!

Me and Harry are doing great now, he was born with tongue tie and didnt have it cut until he was 3 weeks old so he spent the first 3 weeks feeding off me using his gums... OUCH!! Its all fine now though and all the problems have gone and it actually doesnt hurt now which is a massive relief! He is feeding every 2 hours, day and night and he now weighs 10lb 1oz so he has put on 2lb in a month!!

4thBump - I know exactly what you mean with the 2 year old. Dylan has turned into a monster.... he used to be a sweet little angel really polite and really calm natured and boy has that changed!! Now all he does has to be shouted about at the top of his voice, he throws things all the time and if he doesnt get his own way he has the biggest paddy.... hes gone from angel to devil! Were having to use a dummy for Harry too.
Anais is being great bless her so it seems were in the same boat with the terrible twos!!
I am really hoping, wishing, preying and begging that its just a phase, an adjustment reaction and that it will pass soon?!?!?!?!

Well Rosie has been weighed and has put on 1lb in a week!!! She now weighs 8lb 15oz, but then shortly after she did a massivly gigantic pooh going up her belly!!! Nice!!!!
The health visitor is happy though, and said she is doing well with her weight, she is now back on her red line.
Rosie is feeding 4oz every 4 hours, and has now started sleeping from 10pm till 5:30am, so im very proud of her!!!
