Hey all
When I had Mckenzie they had SMA and Cow and gate milk there, had to use own nappies and wipes (cotton wool and tubs there).

Omg Poppy that newspaper saying that formula makes them put weight on too quickly is rubbish Mckenzie has had formula since day 3 and thats high calorie and he has hardly put weight on lol Really I think they need to do some more research lol

 

[LEW32]

While I do think there are benefits to breastfeeding, I think its ridiculous to say bottle-fed babies will be overweight. It has more to do with your genetics and solid foods you eat than the milk!!!
WTH!

I am going to try my hardest to breastfeed- a little nervous about getting any sleep AT ALL in the first few weeks!

Lew i think thats all you can do is try and if for whatever reason its not working dont beat yourself up about it sweetie. Its never appealed to me BF was tempted once but i had three boys under 3yrs at the time so would of been hard work concentrating on BF and other two lads.

 

[sleeping bubs]

Hi ladies,
Just popped on for a quick minute as i promised i would. How's everyone today? Will read back and catch up in a sec. All went really well at the heart tracing this morn. Bubba'a basal hr was 143 bpm. was moving like mad as per usual and the readout came up at 132 movement in the hour WTH!!! Had a proper duck egg lump as s/he was trying to escape the midwife, had his/her ass stuck in the air. Even mw said i didnt need to have the movement monitor on as my tum was jumping all over the place. But on a bummer note i have been requested to take things easy as my pelvic and hip pain is really taking its toll was crying my eyes out this morning in agony over it. So physio rang and as i am right at the end, she said there werent much they can do apart strict rest booooooooooo!!! Cant do that have so much to do Oh yes if Tink's about, are u still using co-codamol? My dr prescribed me 15mgs, but i am terrified of taking it at this late stage. Anyways ladies enough of me, i hope u are all well and that u are having a good day xxxx

Sleepingbubs, i really hope things work out in the best way possible for tom hun, shall be thinking of u xxx

[phoebe]

Just a tad lol ............................... starting to feel a wee bit nervous now. How the hell am i supposed to get the baby out!!!! Will like something out of alien

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

sleeping bubs, I'll be thinking of you tomorrow honey. x

Hopes, yes we need bellie button popped picture I shall be doing my FB 35 week pic soon, just need to get dressed someday Yeah the pains were strange, and bubba is doing a lot more 'head ramming' today. I dunno, I had all the symptoms under the sun early with my others and they didn't show till late. I think it might all be different this time though, the pregnancy certainly has. She's nearly good to go, so I'm not worrying, and were ready for her now so just see what happens I guess x

Breast vs Bottle huh? As strongly as I feel about Breastfeeding I do dislike it when mums are made to feel like failures if they can't / don't want to. Its a real shame cause formula is perfectly good enough for babies. If that's your decision, then they should leave you alone. However I urge anyone here who thinks they might be able to give it a go to try. I am on hand as Tink the Boobie Doctor

Lew, you may find you actually get MORE sleep breastfeeding. Although you tend to feed more frequently in the early days breastfeeding, you can do so laying down and even have a little doze while your at it. You do not need to get up and get / make any bottles, and winding the baby will take less time. Not gonna lie to you, it can be very difficult and you may need to be pretty persevering, but get through those first few weeks and you'll soon be having an easier time than formula feeding mums. Also make sure you get support, its not always as natural a process as it feels like it should be x

Phoebe was just thinking what my OH said after pushing korben out, he said' i didnt realise how many veins you had in your forehead but bloody hell one was popping out that much i thought it was gonna burst and ive never seen your face go that red

 

[phoebe]

I'm going to try and give Bf a bloody good go, but will take in 2 cartons to be on the safe side. Just in case Gi-gantor needs topping up. At my hosp the diabetic team really try to promote it as it can app help my diabetes too. so i am game for that, as it has been crazy the last few weeks. I'm now on 20 AM and 22 units PM and they're rising on a daily basis.
Tink did u see my wee request asking if u were still taking co-codamol please? I dont know what to do regarding myself lol xx
