~February & March Mummies and Babies~

Yeah just lie. I lie about a few things too otherwise they get all concerned and want to see you 'in 2 weeks'.
I used to mix feed and still give the occasional formula if she starving and drained my breasts and reserves. However my HV is anti-formula (whatever) and to avoid the awkward talk on benefits of breast milk I just say that I ebf. They get on my nerves!
 
I would personally just to avoid the upset. They have to tell you the guidelines as it's their job! My hv is all about the rules Alfie dropped his dummy and i put it in my mouth to clean it and then gave it to him she was like oh I wouldn't do that almost the bacteria in your mouth can harm Jim your mouse is effectively dirtier than the floor. OH... CHEERS! I'd rather do that then him have fluff or anything stuck in his throat! Sorry but im not going to keep re sterilising dummies when they fall out his mouth, I'll blow my bloody microwave up he drops them that much!
 
Babybee I also had thank you cards made from snapfish lol! Can't wait for them to arrive!
 
So after our midwife not turning up on Thursday or yesterday - meaning that jas didn't get her day 10 weigh in I will be really pissed off if I end up having to phone at 4pm again today to see where they are!

I'm hoping she's put weight on - she feels ridiculously heavy this morning and her legs are actually fitting better in her clothes! Still has short arms tho haha!

All her hourly feeds have def bought my milk in properly - woke up this morning to two huge footballs that were that full it hurt! And I'd leaked everywhere! Needless to say she had a good 25 minute feed and only sicked a little bit back up so far!!

She was wide awake from 7pm till her 11.30 feed last night but then slept solidly until my alarm went off at 3,45 to feed her and then again until my alarm went off at 7.30! I'm not gonna jinx myself by saying I hope it lasts as I know it more than likely wont!! X
 
Babybee I thought it would be an amazing idea to make all my own thank you cards... Big mistake haha i couldn't remember what everyone had specifically got us! Most people got thank you for welcoming Alfie into the world with your warm wishes and thank you for his gorgeous gift, i look forward to Alfie meeting you in the future (if they hadnt met him yet) as we had loads sent to us from relations of Paul's I'd never even met! I'd had a baby I was traumatised I couldn't remember exactly what each individual had brought! Hahahaha! Everyone was impressed by them, but I keep having to make more as we are still receiving gifts! And Paul's family is massive. Oh lordy. I best get some more done actually! Haha will have to take a pic of one to show you my handy work :-)
 
Lmao!!! I am starting to really dislike hv. I swear they could give us all a breakdown. ESP when it is your first baby!

So are we not meant to kiss our lo's in case of passing on germs?! So stupid. Thank you for confirming I won't hurt my lo by making these up maddiie ans babybee I will tell a little white lie xx
 
Oh id love to see them maddiie! I was gonna make my own too wish I'd have been able to but I'm not very crafty lol
 
Exactly god no we mustn't kiss our babies our mouths are dirtier than the floor! Pfft. Mine upset me on her first visit I dreaded her coming after that! And we are ment to feel we can talk to these people if we feel down. Pffft. X
 
Haha Diane you don't have to be crafty you have to be crazy. I'm going to have made 50 odd cards if not more by the end of it all haha! I'm not very crafty but i think I was still a bit doolally from labour and decided to give it a go!
 
I had personalised cards done on photobox xx I jus added a lil hand written note saying thank you for your gift and clothes usually xx ill take photo when I get up to show ya xx

Well glad most of us had better nights xx

Quinn did good :) :yay: 11pm-1am but then was sick in his moses basket so I had to changed his sheets an clothes x 1.30am-2.45am, 3.25-6.35 then 7am until now he's still asleep :yay:

Weve had another 2 days no poo so guess this is going to be "normal" for him x

Those are lovely, where did you find the note paper?

Vicky, have you tried warming the basket before putting Alex down? I have the opposite problem here in that it's 30c+ but I know a lot of people pop a hot water bottle in the basket for a few minutes to warm the blankets and that sometimes helps.

My parents arrive tomorrow. I love living over here, but I do feel guilty that the first grand child is half way around the world, it will be lovely to see them and show them Eli.
 
Can't kiss your baby??? Did they actually say that?? How crazy!

Maddie how on earth did you find the time to make your own cards??? You trooper!
Lol I knew Id forget who got what so I noted it down in my iPhone - luckily!!!

Diane, I loved the selection of cards and they come out very nice.

DW yours are gorgeous!

My lo tried to give me a smile this morning but then she wailed and flung her head back. So who knows what that was supposed to mean!
 
Awww Talulah I bet your parents are so excited!!! Also having your mum is fab, you can catch up on your sleep!!
 
My sister got me the note paper to go with my baby shower that didnt happen :( they we're from a normal cheap card shop xx

Vicky I had to put a worn vest top as a sheet in moses basket so my scent was in there and I rolled up a blanket next to him to half the size so he feels more cwtched in xx he now sleeps I there no probs xx

Oh my god - just has the midwife! What a confidence boost that was!!

She said she can see we are doing really well with her and that I've done a really good job with the breastfeeding!

The little chunk now weighs 8lb8.5!!!! So she has discharged us!!

She also told us that my anxiousness about chris going back to work is normal And that my worries about get being sick a lot were normal but it's just get getting used to my proper milk so should settle down soon!!
