all ye women with slow-gaining babies... come and sympathise with Aitch here please...

[Aitch]

oh bloomin' heck. she's only put on an ounce and a half in 6 days.

Fabulous!!

Back online now...did the pump get to you ok? They said it should have been there before 1pm the next day.

GOTTIT!

so glad to have it, just if i need it, thank god it's there.

jesus..... what would i have done without MN these past weeks? seriously. cannot say thanks often enough.

Hoooray good stuff, there was an address issue and I had to guess at a part, so either I guessed right or your postie showed some initiative! Hope it does its job!

email me with the postage, will ya?
am 1 handed here...

[broody for holding teeny baby and bf-ing emocion] !

Aitch, how can I say I'm ridiculously proud of you without sounding patronising, please?

aitch i am . proper metric gain too.

see what i get for being pleased with myself about the bfing?

see what i get for sneaking a couple of hours off motherhood to get my hair cut in the most faaaaaaahbulous manner?

puke in my ear, that's what. courtesy of dd1. bbbbllleeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.

Hahahahahaha

Ahem. Sorry.

[concerned face]

How awful, are you all right?

Aitch

Fab, fab weight gain. Sooooo pleased for you.

more worried about dd, tbh, she's got a high temp, fast breathing, v red lips... temp not coming down (from high 38s)with paracetamol and wet cloth.

Aitch, sorry to hear about DD1 - I've always found neurofen gets temps down quicker than paracetamol. Hope she gets better soon.

Can give her ibuprofen as well - it normally worked better in bringing dd's temp down?

oh good, will try her with that before we pack her back to bed. thanks.

Also, it lasts 6 hours rather than the 4 that calpol does, so it's great for night.

paracetamol is useless imo, ibu all the way and some wafting with a towel in only a vest (her not you).

Absolutely, ibuprofen is good stuff. She doesn't have asthma, does she?

aitch how did you know you've been doing breast compression all wrong? did you see a video? if so can i have the link for a friend please.

How's dd1, Aitch? Better I hope.

Aw, poor DD1 Hope she's much better now.

NA, get yer pal to google jack newman, lots of interesting clips. it's on hunker's website as well.

we had a Bad Night, actually.

dd2 ravenously snacking throughout, honestly... i doubt i got ten mins. at the same time, i don't hink she fed well.

could this be anything t do with the hearty lamb massalum i dined on? might she just not like curry? she's fed all morning with more focus.

Focus baby Aitch, focus!!!

DS had a bad night on Friday, and while I can grab at lots of straws as to why, for my sanity I just have to reconcile myself to the fact that it's just one of those things. Otherwise I drive myself mad tying to some up with a solution. Does that make sense?

I also forget that pre newborn I don't always sleep well every night, so I can't expect a baby too either.

IME what I eat hasn't affected my milk, but there will be plenty of people who would disagree.

Can I just show off for a minute? DS has put on 11oz in 14 days - yipee!

Here's too a peaceful night tonight for us all

Aitch, there's not always an answer with why a baby's fussy feeding from time to time. You'll drive yourself potty trying to fathom it, so don't start It might have been the curry, it may very well not have been.

Poor you with only ten minutes' sleep

back after a fmily day at my mother's.

i am BONKERS with lack of sleep.

11oz! congrats! [insane]

It's not the lack of sleep Aitch - you're just bonkers.
