Due April 2009 - Chapter 32: Shake your pom poms, Shake your pom poms, Shake your pom poms!!!

[BabyBolat]

Hope no one minds I gave Nutty the vote after her epic birth!

BB is that a clean nappy or a used one???

what I mean is if the baby is laying across your lap do you hold your breast so your hand is say... perpendicular to her eyes (horizontal grasp) or parallel (verticular grasp)?

I wish I could manipulate Meg more, but she's really stubborn and she just 'freezes' and refuses to move...The few times I've managed to get her mouth open by pulling down her chin she sticks her hands in the way or suddenly lunges and we need to start all over...

BB I am always loosing nappies (clean). But now I have too many to even notice if 10 went missing . I do have 2 DC in nappies though to be fair (still way too many though!).

you could swaddle her if her hands are getting in the way (sorry feeding and typing at the moment) also express some and start the feed off via bottle and then get boob in when edge of hunger pangs taken off.

re position it's horizontal with me.

swaddling makes her angry if she's hungry and she tosses herself backwards or forwards and thrashes around
I can try expressing a bit again though, and feeding it to her like I used to, good idea.
Just spent the last half hour fighting with her... Dh took her off me and they've gone for a walk...

Anybody know if there is anythinG I can take for constipation/hard stools while BF? Probably caused by eating so much crap but 12 days after childbirth it is not good!

I'm posting here to apologise for not being able to catch up yet - I have an exciting announcement on the new thread & want it to be the first post without ruining it with my rushing

springy...you're pg again!!!!!

did i ruin it?

ROFL!

That would be funny if it wasn't so terrifying

Congratulations everyone.

Thought I would update you. We had a baby girl on the 1st April by c section due to breech. She wighed 8lbs, 10 days early and we named her Evie Sophie and love her to bits!!!!!!!!

Hope you are your babies are all good
