Let me know how you get on lovely! And hopefully some of the things will help alittle! x

 

[babybee]

Sassy you're so good at this baby stuff, like a fountain if knowledge! Xxx

 

[Sassyjane]

Lol thanx babybee..... I pick up info from wherever I can find it and store it away in my brain for later!!!
I still have a headache, had it for 6 days now!!! Tucked up in bed, need to get up and eat but don't wanna move as soooooooooo bloody cold xx

 

[babybee]

You poor thing! Have you seen your GP about the headache?xx

 

[Sassyjane]

Yeah seeing her again on Tuesday and possibly getting medication for it! Xx

 

[Sassyjane]

My poor little dude ent happy, he is sooooooo snotty and can't breath properly xx

Sounds like skyler sassy :-/ I'm not liking it at all!!! Although elevating her mattress has worked slightly. She had a bottle last night at 10 (120ml) and again didn't wake up! I had to wake her to feed at half 5 :-/ taking her to baby clinic tomorrow or Tuesday so hope she has put weight on with going so long between night feeds!

I'm also suffering the headaches too sassy. I was worried as it can be sign of blood clot after being bed bound in hospital, but my gp said very unlikely especially as I had blood thinning injections, but best to get checked out. I'm still suffering tho, what medication did they mention giving you? Hope u and cj feel better soon xxxx

We are going to a christening today so looking forward to taking a nice dressed up family pic! Although not sure what the heck I'm supposed to wear ! We also tried dtd last night but had to stop after about 30 seconds as (tmi) I felt really loose my husband says it felt normal but I freaked out! I looked down there as well and it does look bigger! I hope I'm just being paranoid! I'm doing kegels everyday without fail.

I have his basket raised at one end, dad suggested olbas oil in hot water and let him inhale the steam but not sure how soon we can use olbas!

I suffer with chronic tension headaches and have done for years so not sure what they might give me!

Hope you and Skyler are ok and had a better night!! Xx

Morning ladies, sounds like your poor babies are having a rough time of it I'm not great myself. We had to call the MW unit last night as I had a funny turn, she's been out this morning and diagnosed mastitis my poor boob is killing me and I feel like I have flu. Blake is refusing to feed from me so I'm trying to express the excess milk. Fed up x

 

[Sassyjane]

Oh no huni, hope that it clears up soon and that you feel better, that's the last thing you need!!! Xx

 

[babybee]

You poor ladies. I hope all these ailments clear up swiftly for you and babies! Big kisses!xxx

 

[babybee]

Also has anyone else's Facebook account started advertising 'ovulation calculation' apps and other such things to them?

My baby is only 2 weeks old, give my womb/uterus/cervix a break!

 

[Maddiie]

Oh ladies we are all so run down. times like these I wish we all lived close together so we could all meet up! I've felt poop Alfies still not sleeping well. He's now decided not to take so much on feeds but wake every 2 hours for feeding. The most he will ever take is 90ml and that's only if he's gone for something like 5-6 hours which is after he's been awake for hours on end windging etc. He sleeps so much better in the daytime. I hate to admit but sometimes I've ended up Co sleeping because he literally won't let me put him down and I so tired I'm about to drop and i don't feel I trust anyone enough to leave him with them while we sleep. (MIL almost dropped him a few days ago!!) we also dtd the other night and I freaked out but kept my mouth shut I just felt it was looser than before and my stretch mark riddled body was just making me feel poop. Plus Paul took a hell of alot longer than usual which made me more paranoid and i think my grazes ripped back open as im bleeding heavier again and it bloody hurts but i didn't want to say anything its l building up and i just feel so rubbish ladies xx

Got a poorly one here too! India's still got a cold and keeps choking with it. My friend and her bf came over last night and, hey hey, he's a gp!! He said she has a great cough and to not try and stop her from coughing as its her trying to get all the crisp out. He suggested olbas, so tonight gonna put some on a muslin in her cot.
Got one of those nose sucky things and the snot coming out of her is unbelievable

She's only having teeny feeds and having them like every hour in the night, so I'm exhausted, but haven't got Sophia tonight so can have a lie in tomorrow morning.

 

[Sassyjane]

Hopefully I'm not speaking too soon **crosses fingers** but so far little man is having a much better night! He had a 3oz bottle for T earlier and apart from a few little grizzles he is fast asleep! Put some snufflebabe on a tissue in his cot (didnt wanna put it on his skin cos of his rash) and raised his head, and he doesn't sound half as snuffly!
Hopefully all you lovely ladies are having a much better night too!
My only issue now is being able to hear numnuts' tv, might get annoying if I can't get back to sleep cos ov it! Xx

 

[babybee]

My lo was sick last night and then pretty much slept through the whole night. I managed to wake her briefly for a 12am breast feed which lasted around 20 mins, a 3ish breast feed which lasted around 10 mins max and then a 7am breast feed that lasted 22 mins. That's all she's had and then she brought a tiny bit of sick up just now. She's just been sleeping and sleeping. This isn't normal is it?xxx

 

[babybee]

Normally she takes 80-90mls of expressed milk every 3 hours.

 

[diane]

Babybee hmm I would see how she gets on today hun with her feeds, could be a growth spurt maybe? They do like to worry us!

Yay sassy that cj seems better!!!

Maddie hope you're ok hun xxx I'm worried bout dtd too I wanna try again cos it wasn't painful but worried about bursting my stitches and also bout the ahem looseness. I'm so paranoid about it. My hubby doesn't get why I am paranoid he says it felt the same, but it didn't feel the same for me!

Well I took sky to out of hours doc last night due to this choking cough he checked her n said everything seems normal. Shes still coughing tho but I'm trying to relax now, and gonna get some saline spray.

I also mentioned her night feeding habits. Sat night she had 120ml at 10pm and by 5.30 had not woken for a feed. Then again last night 10pm feed then hadn't woken at 4.30am. However she wakes every 3 hours during the day. The dr said this is "normal" and some babies from early on can distinguish between night and day and essentially can sleep through. I'm still not convinced and I'm not liking the idea of waking a sleeping baby so when I go to baby clinic tomorrow I will mention it AGAIN and see what they say! Also will have her weighed so see if she's gaining weight feeding this way.

Taking her to register her birth today yay can't wait for her birth certificate lol.

 

[jennilisanne]

India is a very sleepy baby too, except at night, lol! Matt said he's barely seen her awake yet! And her feeds are crazy, like every half an hour, but not very long. My poor boobs . I think one is still a bit blocked too which makes it even more painful.
We've tried her on a dummy lots, but it mainly just makes her gag!

In my last post I said her coughing crisps up, obviously that was meant to be crap, not feeding my 2 week old crisps, lol!!

 

[Sassyjane]

Cj sleeps alot too, although is more awake at times now he is alittle older! Tris always complains he is never awake when he has him but is for me! Tris always tries to keep him awake at wrong times though, and I'm trying to sort this night and day thing out.... Not easy when he is trying to keep him up at night!
I tried him with a dummy yesterday and he spits it straight out, which suits me as didnt really want him to have one anyhow!
Hope everyone feels alot better soon!
Big hugs for you all xx
