Hey Kix nice to see you back Yes the bf settles down, newborn is most tiring then occasionally they will have a 2-3day growth spurt and will feel like they're never off the breast but he will settle into a routine. Best way to feed in bed is lie on your side facing Aaron with him on his side facing you to feed him on whatever side he's due to feed on, if I can help with any advice in future just shout Glad the birth went so well in the end.
Pink hope eyes stay ok Yummy mummy bag-nice surprise
Anna glad they checked you over and gave you a number for advice so you'll be less worried.
Samie I've only ever used handful of jars (I'm an Annabel Karmel fan ) but Hipp Organic are the only ones I would use
Ollie is loving food bless him
Rachael Ollie is gonna have fruit and veg in a week or so
Betty how you doing? xx

honey i have just been and bought all bits of fruit and veg so i can cook them and blend them and freeze it in ice cube trays so its nice and easy to get to when shes hungry, i have been given a book of first food from weaning to 7yr old and its written by Annabel Karmel
im also still breastfeeding her and using my milk to make her porridge.

i have a yummy mummy bag and i looooove it they are great i had been looking at them while i was pregnant and really wanted one but resisted and got a cheap one and within 8 week it had all ripped so mu husband bought me one

The way I see it you use the changing bag for at least 3 yrs so buy a nice quality one and you won't have to replace it! ( and they are very pretty )

Which one do you have?

X x x

 

[pink23]

I have the birds and bows one can't wait to use. Will be taking it as one of my hospital bags lol x

 

[Honeybear1976]

Rachael can't wait for my new Annabel Karmel book to come tomorrow, got my new triblade blender out this evening and used the attachment for pan blending to mash our potatoes and they turned out drinkable needless to say we ate the roasties instead I got the portion cubes out today too How dyou find the expressing for porridge etc?
Am I the only one on here without a yummy mummy bag
I loooove the gingerbread collection from mamas and papas The high chair Jack had from mothercare (very expensive) also had lots of recline positions and you can adjust the height too, invaluable.

Yeah I'll let you know about the recovery pink.

I've never heard of yummy mummy bags honey so your not the only one lol I've also not heard of annabel karmel so will look into her......the world of weaning is hard work, I don't wanna go through the upset tummy times again Sophia took weeks for her digestive system to get use to the outside world!

I miss the movements Betty enjoy them it's over so soon!

Kix glad things weren't too bad in the end, your start up took long enough for you lol and a 9lb no surprise you had a little cut. I found breast feeding hard going especially with a baby who refused to latch hence only lasting expressing for 2 weeks, hoping it gets easier for you!

Sophia was weighed today shes 13 weeks and 13lb 7oz!
And she went down in her crib at 20:30 so I've been sat in the bath since, it's so lovely having my evening back! She did an 8 hr stretch last night so I'm hoping for the same!!!

Samie it is truly amazing and I'm loving every one! I am constantly in awe of how miraculous pregnancy is! And how big my baby girl is now!

[pink23]

I love when I get up in the night don't think baby likes being disturbed . Wasn't to bothered by sewing machine so that's good
I'm of to my friends soon then it's dinner at my moms . Can't believe I see baby again soon x x

 

[rachaelmoore8]

my yummy mummy bag is like a mint green with butterflies and mushrooms and dragonflies on it

Lily went down at 8.45pm last night and didnt wake till 5.30am then slept till 8.30am so much better

i find expressing ok its just a long process i expressed around 4 oz of milk and made some powdered porridge and it filled about 8 or 9 ice cube holes and froze them. then this morning just got 2 out and defrosted them and she ate it no problem and had some milk to. My husband has done some spinach cubes and apple this morning, i have carrots, parsnips, sweet potato and brocoli im going to do later. i got a free weaning book through the door off cow and gate yesterday thats quite helpful to


I also miss feeling the movements so enjoy them they are so good to feel

I have got a yummy mummy bag too! Ha! My friend got me one I love it it's got red butterflies on.

Midwife has been this morning an helped me with latching on he feeds for about 45 mins seems ages but as long as he is getting what he needs! She has helped me a bit but my nipples are sore need some better nipple cream than the one I have. One thing he is doing is sleeping for ages at night which is worrying me, I know I shouldn't complain but he went down last night at around midnight and didn't wake up until 4.45 am and even then he was only just awake. I had difficulty feeding him because he was not alert enough and when I took him off to re attach he was just sound asleep and wouldnt latch back on so only got about 10 mins feed. Had contradicting advice about if to wake him up or not at night what's your thoughts honey? Also had 2 different opinions on offering 2 breasts or 1 during a feed?

Going to a drop in session on Friday morning at the hospital on breastfeeding so see what they say!

Betty been reading though the posts thrilled to bits for you that scan went well and you're having a little girl! Hope you had fun shopping!

[Samie18]

Kix is he Jaundice at all???
If he is having wet and dirty nappies i wouldn't worry too much on him sleeping that long unless he was jaundice......

When i did the Unicef breastfeeding training we were told if the baby feeds for a good amount of time from one breast and it feels emptied then offer the other breast if the baby will take it. The whole feed from one side then the other next doesnt really apply if you offer both because your body will replenish whats taken for the next feed.

 

[betty14]

Thanks kix, we are thrilled too is all very exciting!

X x x

 

[Honeybear1976]

Kix 10 minutes is enough to get the foremilk and hindmilk. You can offer the 2nd breast but only if you feel he has had sufficient from the 1st. Sometimes they will take a preference for the one breast and if they are not feeding well from the one try the other. You will soon learn together what makes him happy. Jaundice is common in breastfed babies and I'm guessing mw would have spotted that so if his nappies are wet and sometimes runny poo then it's all good About 5hrs between a night time feed is fine and hes sleepy coz presumably its a calm environment for that middle of the night feed? How is the lying down feeding now? Xx

 

[annanouska]

I have no YM bag either! Just my Radley one which will do for me v

My movements have gone away i thought i had a few today esp as work but ended up trumping but they still felt like movements gas feels a bit diff i think. could i maybe still have movement that then causes gas Th lady yday said beanie was running all over the show so I know it is moving about!

Got scan tomorrow im really excited but nervous too, I keep saying to myself all these people I know who are fine why do i think i wont be but then i think well its law of average I'll try to keep plodding on happy

hope everyone is ok-Betty are you thinking of BF? i was and will prob still try but is it really bad of me that I keep thinking bottle will be less stress and we can rotate of a night etc bad me!

[Honeybear1976]

Anna its not bad of you to think but imo its actually more hassle to bottle feed, ok someone else can feed baby but with bf these are the benefits, no sterilising or washing bottles, no worrying about running out or having to remember to check you have enough powder in the house, no having to make a load to take with you if want to go out, no having to find somewhere to warm it up while out, no having to wonder whether to move into next stage milk, its absolutely FREE Very occasionally when I'm tired I think it would be nice to be able to have someone else feed him, though if I express he will take a bottle if necessary but all in all I'm proud that his growing is doen to me alone
I would say at least try and see how you go, if its not for you then you know there is another choice, my first son had bottles of ready made formula in cartons for 1 sometimes 2 feeds a day and was an extremely happy baby.
Samie when is the surgery?

[Samie18]

Sat morning ahhhhhhh scary!! Were just sat in the peak district feeding Sophia lol its bloody cold!

 

[betty14]

Anna yay for tomorrow, you will be fine and seeing bubba is so lovely!
yes I do plan on bf I really hope I can and be successful too

Honey you are the bf guru All the reasons you said are the ones that make me want to all the more!

I'm also realistic enough that if I'm not successful I won't beat myself up!

At the end if the day if your baby is growing and thriving it doesn't matter where the food comes from!

X x x

 

[annanouska]

provided its not kitten milk LOL!

 

[betty14]

Nah kitten milk is a little too different lol! Kitten formula smells really wheaty and really not very appealing

Samie sat will come and go so fast and will be fab after for you
