Formula does make them sicky if they arnt used to it it's one of those things you have to persist with so he's used to having a little bit in his diet. Oh got showered a couple of times when Alfie was mainly on breast milk. It must be a shock for their little tummies as it's alot harder to digest! Alfies just started with the screaming. He's not going to go back to sleep. Oh god. :-(
 
I've just fed little man, he went from 9:45 til 2:15..... (And was in the cot til 1:15, whooooo) and is now back asleep in the cot!!!! I'm making the most and expressing cos my boobs were leaking too, and getting a fair bit (smily SJ!!!) he is grizzling alittle but is asleep!!! Think this formula top up may be the way forward with him, it's only 7oz a day, rest is mummy milk!!!
Hope all the babies have settled and mummies are getting much needed sleep :-) xx

Scrap that ladies, he is looking right at me from the cot, but is quite settled, I'm not moving him out of there! Think having to put the light on didnt help, be glad when the new night light arrives (the other died!!!)

Just had the fright of my life tonight, skyler is a very quiet sleeper. I put her to bed at 8.30ish all fine and dandy. Then I woke at about 2.30 thinking I hadn't heard her AT ALL. So looked in her basket n she's still in same position as she was at 8.30!! And I couldn't tell if she was breathing!!! Panic panic panic! But she was ok. Just such a deep sleeper! Just feeding her now cos she started grunting but she's hardly drinking and keeps nodding off.

Sorry you're all having tough nights :-( hope babies get some sleep! X
 
Having our second feed of the night hopefully he will go back down after fx
 
I can't get his wind up:( he's not taking much milk because his tummy is full, so has been waking every hour since 1am, I'm tired tonight.


 
Alfies still awake! Grumbling away. And he already knows what to do to get attention - cry. Even grumbled when I was holding him after a little I tried leaving him to cry knew he was dry fed and winded etc and surprise surprise after ten minutes the crying stopped and he was happily chatting away to himself. They are far from stupid even at this age. I know how alot of people disagree with letting crying happen etc but you can tell it's just a windge there's no tears and it's a very broken cry. He won't settle into a routine so ive got to try and find a way of getting him into one if I keep feeding him to soothe him we will never get anywhere and he will take like half an once and not really want it. The cry was here and there and a bit from shouting he's still awake now wanting to play but he has to learn that's not how it's going to work at 4am :/ going to try and feed him again now. X

Quinn does have top up once a night usually so he should be used to it x some nights he goes without but rarely x but only 2oz once a night so maybe it is a shovk to the tum xx
It worked tho 2hrs 20mins sleep :yay:
Hubby just woke asking where paracetamol is - headache? ! Tut tut alcohol no good see lol :lol:

Jas has thrown an extra feed in - its really thrown me I just want to sleep
 
I have just fed CJ again, I'm thinking I may do the 10pm and middle night feed as formula, see if I can squeeze an extra hours sleep out of him from 2:15ish to 6:15ish, if so that will be much better for us both (if I can sleep)
I still haven't managed to get back to sleep from his last feed though!!!

Maddie, I'm doing the same with CJ now, I've insisted he is in his cot, and he has self settled three times now tonight, first time I've had my bed to myself in weeks, he is grumbling and neighing abit, but he does that in his sleep anyhow..... Just need to make sure daddy sticks to the routine too, not having him wreck it all, I know what he is like!!!

I had to giggle at him just before he woke for his feed, he sneezed and farted at the same time, then farted another 4 times, then went "aaaaahhhh" in his sleep!!! His daddy and grandad will be proud!!!!

It's been snowing here, there is no way I'm going home without my car this time though, it's my life line, dad can like or lump it!!!!

Hoping you ladies have got back off to sleep and the gorgeous ones are behaving!!!! Xx

Oh dear, sounds like lots of you were up lots in the night. I try not to wake myself up too much when I get up with Eli, I feed him laying down and he is back in his sleeper within about 25 minutes after a changed bum, cuddle and winding. If I came on here I think i would wake up too much and not go back to sleep quickly enough. Eli wakes twice during the night, he generally sleeps for four hours from about 8pm, has a feed, then wakes again at about 3.30am, then again at 6am when we get up.

Claireypants I would definitely pump and dump, you can hire a breast pump from the nct.

I can't remember who posted about wind abovr, but my lactation consultant showed me how to put Eli rigt over my shoulder, I mean so that his belly button is just below my shoulder and his top half is flopped rigt over. The pressure of your shoulder on their tummy helps get the wind, i can always get a big burp from him this way. Much easier and quicker than if I wind him on my lap.

My parents are here visiting, they are besotted by Eli. I feel quite guilty that we live so far from them and they can't be more involved in our lives. But it is lovely to see them.

We had to get Eli'spassport photo done, he was eleven days old at the time, it is hilarious, I will share it on here when I am on the laptop. We have 42days from birth to get his visa otherwise he will be deported. We won't have his passport in time though so will have to go to immigration a d ask for an extention. It is quite the hoopla to have a British baby born overseas and only have 42days to sort everyhing, th consulate say it is 6-8 weeks for the passport alone, never mind getting a Singapore visa.

Is anyone going to do baby massage or anything? I am going to sign up at the same place we did ante natal classes, and they do daddy and baby massage once a month on a Saturday so my husband is going to do that. I am really keen to try and meet some mummy friends over here, I think the social aspect will be good for both Eli and I.

I am feeling so sad that my pregnancy is over. I keep crying when I think that it is over. The pregnancy sucked with the hyperemesis but my labour and delivery were beautiful. I need to write a birth story. I can't wait to do it all again, I miss going to my doctors clinic, miss my bump, miss the anticipation, miss it all. I adore Eli and am not wishing his baby stage away at all, but I am already imagining him as a big brother. We are ttc right away, it took us nearly two years to get pregnant with Eli thoug so I am just hoping and praying it doesn't take so long again.

I hope all the babies are sleeping soundly and the mummys too.

I know I don't post much, no time, but I do read this thread daily and try to keep up with you all. I am so thankful for this group of new mummies, it was fun to share our pregnancies and now it is nice to share our babies and parenting adventures together.

And now Eli has woken up so I shall stop blathering on. I hope you all have good days :-)
 
Well I was worried my lo was going to eat everything she could tonight but she was fine. She just decided to poo the night away!
 
Awww Talulah, Eli has his own passport! That's so cute. I can't wait to get my lo her passport. I can't believe you've only got 42 days to sort out everything!!

I really miss being pregnant too. Like you say I miss the bump, general experience etc. I can also imagine mine being a big sister - a little bit jealous and mischievous. She's already got cheeky eyes.

I love this group too, it's so nice to share experiences and learn new things!!

Xxx
 
Talulah, I start my baby massage classes on the 5th may I think it is, was the first ones available and I'm really looking forward to it!!!!

As for more children, your all bonkers!!!! Lol!!!!!
I definatly don't miss being pregnant, and there is no way I wanna go through that again, the whole process from start to end was horrific for me!!!

The routine has worked, he is still in his cot, but is making gremlin noises constantly, little monster!!!!

I'm still not tired, may think differently in a few hours though!!!! Trying to decide if to get up, make a cuppa and pump or just lay in bed longer and try to sleep again!!!

Well we are both buggered this morning - she screamed when I changed her bum at 5am. Poor Chris couldn't get back to sleep after and he's on a re hour shift. Doesn't help that he's had to practically run to work because of the snow!!
 
I miss being pregnant too and it took us 2 years to get her; I really hope we can have more children. I'd have about 4 if we could but I think that's just a dream :-( at my check up she asked me about contraception and I told her we wouldn't be using any and would be thrilled to fall pregnant again and she seemed happy for us to do that. Although I can't see us having sex again after she told me about my weak muscles :-( hubby insists it was fine but I can't help but be paranoid now.

I've had a good night skyler was asleep for 8, up at 4 for feed and I'm just about to wake her up for the day now. It's horrendous weather again here today, snowing very bad I don't think I'm gonna make it to the doctors as I don't have a car on weekdays. So another day stuck in for me. I can feel myself getting depressed as the days go on, I need to get out of this house but the weather just isn't playing ball :-( skyler hates being stuck in too.

Hope everyone has nice days today xxx
