We made the trimesters pass quickly!

[Carlyp1990]

I mainly use my phone when feeding too!

I'm having problems with lucy having wind too. I think it's because I have a fast let down so I can hear her gulping. I feel awful though when she's wiggling around in pain xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

BB I had virgin for about a year or so and they where really good, they do good deals and that's why I went with them in the first place.

I'm with sky now though (blame Scott)

 

[Swtpinkbabi]

Swt have you tried gently rubbing his tummy or moving his legs like he is cycling. I had to do that when the girls were babies as they were colicky and had trouble having a poo or passing wind xx

Yes I've tried everything. I had him lay on my legs and he passed a ton of gas. I was finally able to get him to sleep for 3 hours.

 

[Swtpinkbabi]

Maybe that's it Carly, the fast let down. When I pump I usually get most of my milk during the letdown.

I had this problem with Aimee-Jo today. Her belly was so tight bless her but a belly massage did the trick.

I never really had a problem with virgin when I was with them.

That must of been sore Amanda. I'm tempted to use my neck support I use in the bath

Glad you're home now Amy!

I hope to god I get some decent sleep tonight. Aimee-Jo has slept ALL day, her feeds have been really short. Luckily shes been on for a good 40 minutes now but she's asleep while latched.

I can't want for the lochia to pass. It took 6 weeks with Jay x

 

[ab75]

Glad he is having a good sleep swt xx

Lol it was. Thats a good idea! !

Every time I think my lochia is gone it starts again. Went away for a day and back again yesterday. It is so annoying.

Mine has done the same. Also my uterus is still by my belly button, is that normal after a week? x

 

[Mummy to be x]

UB mines still there and they've been checking my stomach constantly in hospital and they said it's fine and contracting down ok. X

 

[Swtpinkbabi]

I'm so exhausted. Last night was horrible with London. He wouldn't fall asleep in his bed and only wanted to be held. He now keeps fighting being swaddled and won't lay down without it. DH blames me because of holding him most of the day, so we spend most of our time arguing. I eventually took baby, went to the living room and had myself a cry on the couch. What do I do with him? I'm so terrified of how he's going to be treated at daycare if he keeps on this way.

He's a baby he's spent nine months inside of you, your doing nothing wrong he just wants to be close to his mummy. Don't be so hard on yourself

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Exactly what Amy said. He's used to your smell, your heartbeat and your voice. It's no wonder he wants to be in his Mummy's arms.

Aimee-Jo wouldn't go down in her moses basket last night so I had her next to me in the bed and she slept fine the little madam, but again she's used to being close to me. Luckily I have a superking bed x

 

[Carlyp1990]

Pink your going to miss your cuddles when you have to go back to work so I say make the most of them xx

 

[Swtpinkbabi]

Thanks ladies, I wish DH understood.
How are you all getting on?

 

[Ziggie]

Pink you seem really frazzled... Are you feeling OK? Of you're feeling like things are getting on top of you, make sure you speak to someone about it. There's no shame and you don't want to develop any post partum depression. Keep on top of your emotional health.

And my advice is stop trying to work out what to do, and just do what feels natural to you. At this age babies just want their needs met. Warmth, comfort, food, being held and being kept clean. There's no routine, there's no logic and you CAN NOT SPOIL A BABY. You need to tell your OH that. It's impossible. Up to the age of 3 your baby and child is working out how you respond to it and this is a very important time when their little personality is formed and their experiences form how they make and maintain relationships in the future. At this point in time all baby wants is for you to meet his needs. That's it. They don't want routine or rules. Relax and go with the flow if baby doesn't want to go down, hold them and cuddle them. It won't damage them. Actually the better you meet their needs, the more secure they will be and the more independent they will become, because they know they are loved and protected.

Try not to worry you're doing a fabulous job.

Morning ladies

Hope your all ok.
We're going to register Lucy this morning then the midwife is coming this afternoon... fingers crossed lucy has gained weight. She feels like she has, she feels really chunky when I hold her now! Xx

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Good luck with the midwife how much did Lucy weigh at the last visit?

Aimee-jo was 8lb 15oz then went down to 8lb 7oz and in 2 days put on another 5oz super milk! X

 

[Mummy to be x]

Good luck Carly! I'm sure she will be fine xx

 

[Carlyp1990]

She went from 7 lb 15oz to 7 lb 6 oz. She hasn't been weighed since last Friday so fingers crossed it's a big gain xx

 

[ab75]

Hi ladies.
I'm sure Lucy will have put lots of weight on Carly.

Frazer has just wanted cuddles and milk this morning again, sleeping in his pram now after the walk to nursery. The paths are just pure ice!!

How are you feeling Amy?

Swt, hope you had a better night last night xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Archie's just been weighed, he's now 7lb 14oz so I'm pleased with that

I'm ok today thanks Amanda how are you? Xx
