Oh Sassy that sounds absolutely horrendous! You are such a brilliant mother, CJ is blessed to have you there even if T is being a bit useless!! I hope you can get yourself up and running quickly. Also well done for not having given up on ebm, especially after feeling this ill!

DW of course you're welcome!! Everyone is How are you getting on with your lo? How are you feeling after the c section?

Xxx

Well I'm def gonna be a march mummy let's see how overdue I go! Urgh!

 

[babybee]

You'll always be a Feb mummy Nicky! Your little tot is just very comfortable in there!

 

[Sassyjane]

Well took me 3 hours to get back to sleep and now up expressing again!
CJ is unsettled cos ov this cold!
DW of course your welcome, hope your doing ok?
Babybee, thank you, you always make me smile and feel better!
And as for you Nicky, you will always be a feb mummy, we have been together from the start, not letting you leave me now!!!!

How was last night babybee? Hopefully you had slightly better night?

Sassy you poor thing hope you're better soon, and little cj

My lo still has this bloody cough cold I hate it!!!!! On the look out for a calpol plug in today. She's up and ready for feeding now lol been a good sleeper again last night. She's a right diva too; only likes warm milk as we discovered at 4am lol xxx

 

[diane]

Oh and something funny happened yesterday... I told my hubby about what maddie said about tummy time and he agreed we should do it everyday... I came out of the shower last night to find skyler on her mat and my hubby and his cousin watching her try to lift her head whilst playing music from the rocky film "getting stronger" lol x

 

[babybee]

Diane, I had a much better night thanks!! I gave her a large feed at 10pm (100mls of expressed milk) then she went to sleep and didn't wake up until 4! I was so proud of her. You gave me the idea of a large feed before bed so thank you very much! She stayed up after her 4am feed but fell asleep and only woke up now!

I'm now going to do tummy time on her new play mat before she meets her uncle for the first time!

I hope Skyler's cough cold goes very quickly, it sounds really horrible. You sound like you're doing everything right. I'm dreading Elisabetta's first cold, I'm just going to panic the whole time!

Sassy, I'm only telling the truth! You're a wonderful mum as is everyone else here!xxxx

 

[babybee]

Lol Diane!! That's so funny you should say that as I also told my husband and that's the reason we now have a play mat! Men! Love anything to do with muscle building

 

[Sassyjane]

Lol Diane, love it!!!!!!
I did tummy time with CJ on Wednesday and he was fine, yesterday he screamed!!!
CJ will drink cold milk but he prefers it warm too!
Let me know if the calpol plug in works, I'm using snufflebabe which is good on his chest! X

 

[nicky1987]

I know I haven't had mine yet but I've heard this loads!

Put Vicks on their feet when going to bed and it apparantly works wonders! I'm sure you can use it on babies. Have a go see of it works!

Still no sign here!! X

 

[diane]

Yay babybee so glad u had good night! It's awesome getting a few good hours sleep in! Hopefully E will get used to big feed before bed, fingers crossed!

Bloody men, so predictable lol! Skyler starts grunting after about 5 mins on her mat lol!

Yep sassy I'll let you know about the calpol thing hope I can find one lol! Nicky that is an awesome idea I will try that too I have some in the house!

 

[Sassyjane]

Nicky i was told you are not supposed to use Vicks when they are so little, the snufflebabe is a Vicks alternative that you can use on tiny tots, it says 3 month + on box but pharmacist and dr told me it was fine!

I went down and warmed a bottle for little man, come back up and he is asleep again! Typical!

I have a doctors appointment at 10:50am, see what they say, and what these results throw up, I'm wondering if it is my borderline thyroid issue or not, I don't think I can manage many more courses of antibiotics, I'm already on number 2!!! It's kinda stressful wondering what the hell it is they found, but I guess it can't be too bad seen as I've been home over 2 weeks!

Hope you all have a good day ladies! x

hi ladies thanx for the welcome xx

im ok tired but ok xx bp seems to be being naughty tho still checked it myself pre tablets an was 160/100 again 1hr post tablets tho 138/88 so fx itll be normal for when mw checks it xx
im trying to soley bf Quinn but at night its a nitemare ~ I dont know if he gets overly tired an struggles with sucking cos in day he's perfect an goes sleep straight after feeding but last night he fed on and off from 8pm til 1pm gave in an gave him 20mls formula an he slept until 4am!

[Sassyjane]

Fingers crossed for your bp when me checks it DW!!!! Hopefully it is better!!!
As for the feeding, I'm exclusively expressing so can't answer that question I'm afraid, but may be worth expressing a little, CJ tends to fall asleep with the bottle in his mouth!

I'm sat in drs waiting to see what they say...... There are 3 very cute babies in here today! X

 

[Sassyjane]

Well the hospital blood test found an infection, only been home 3 weeks! The dr thinks it's the one in my wound so already been treated for it, but gonna have bloods done next week to make sure it's gone, they are also gonna check my liver and thyroid etc as was slight issues when I booked in at 8 weeks!
They have also given me a very low dose of my medication, and told me to keep an eye on CJ, if he isn't feeding or becomes more sleepy then they will stop it and put me on a different one which I've had before! Fingers crossed though that this works and he is ok with it! X

I would express in the night, just to make sure your supply stays constant as it can dip abit when not feeding/expressing in the night xx

Talking on my phoneee!! x

Youre right, vics isnt advised for little.babys, I think its something to do with one of the ingredients, which would make sense as.its.advised against in pregnancy too xx

DW, I'm trying to exclusively breast feed but am also finding it hard. Mainly because I'm worried she's not getting enough food. She lost 12% of her birth weight and after being super strict with her feeding schedule and doing top ups, she put it back on and more as of Wednesday.

I'm currently loosely following a feeding/sleeping routine where I feed at certain times and express at others. I found last night (thanks to Diane) giving her one last large express feed at 10pm got her to sleep until 3.30/4am.
I'm going to weigh her myself every other day and if she's gaining weight and doing healthy poos then I'm going to carry on as I am.

Sassy, I really hope those antibiotics work!!
