Hi ladies, hope you all had a wonderful holiday. We spent ours at the hospital because baby wasn't ready to go home yet. They discharged me yesterday but we're allowed to stay in the room I had as they are finally letting baby room in with us. So far so good though, he has kept his body temp up in the appropriate range all night with us, so he might get to go home today. Still hasn't gained back to his birth weight, but they said my milk is really rich so he should start picking up soon. He's finally latching on and breastfeeding. They had been giving him formula while I was pumping. I was so disappointed because he wouldn't take the breast at all. He would take my milk from the bottle though. I had a breakdown and my lactation nurse just happened to walk in the room. Then I was really bawling like a baby myself. But she helped me gain a little confidence and we are using nipple shields but he latches and I'm happy I get that bonding.

Hope you ladies are doing great. I'll add pics later.

I am sure he will grow to love breastfeeding. my baby girl was like that too after she came home from the hospital. I was only able to breastfeed her a couple times a day when she was in the hospital. so the majority of the time she had bottles. I was also really depressed after all the pumping I had done for the past few months just to be disappointed. turns out all she needed was to get used to it again. only 3 days home and she is a pro breastfeeding champ now. good luck mama I know its hard but you can do this and so can he.

by the way he's absolutely gorgeous!

Suzy your photo is adorable.

I had Jayden at 41+3 and I was so fed up at that point.

I've had to stick fuel in the car today and pay for OH to go go-karting with his other family. I am officially £400 down and have sod all left. He's had £0 so i have paid for everything!!
I could be at home but it seems he wants this baby to be born here, not happening!

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas x

Beckii if I was you I'd find myself better off without OH he sounds like a pain in the arse xx

 

[Ziggie]

UB.... Serious question. What does he bring to your relationship?

 

[ab75]

Beckii, I think you would be better off on your own with the kids. (sorry, just being honest). You were doing great money wise, a couple of days with him and you are skint again and playing catch up for your bills. And you are up there and he has buggered off out. He sounds like he is taking the piss. You should phone your mum to come and collect you and Jayden xx

Happy 40 weeks Amy xx

Happy due date Mummy.
Ziggie, I hope you have your baby soon, but I'm glad you feel great. That's awesome.
Kiwi, thanks for your comment, I was actually wondering how you and Riya tackled nursing and was going to ask.

I'm really glad I found this thread 30 weeks ago. You ladies are so awesome and supportive and it's wonderful to have people to talk that are. I hope we all keep in touch and continue to update each other. I'm looking forward to the rest of you all's babies coming soon.

Happy 40 weeks mummy!

UB, this is just me being honest but he sounds like a loser and you could do so much better even on your own rather than with him. You have two babies to take care of.and with the way he spends your money and doesn't look for a job sounds like the babies are last on his mind. I know I am being judgemental but it's really hard for me to see you going through all this with him.

Swtpinkbabi what I did to help her transition was offer the breast every feed and when she would get fussy or not take then give her a bottle. Afree a bit she started to love it and not need a bottle anymore.
