new thread

Hellooooooooo McMudda. Great to 'see' you and catch up with your news. Keep us posted.
Byeeeee

There have been tumbleweeds rolling past all day!

RE - the milk donation thing, all i can say to anyone else is go for it. The milk banks are empty, 10ml can feed a premie baby for a day. so anything is gratefully recieved. I have now got 200ml in the freezer ready for delivery

I would love to but I don't think they have such a thing here.....I will investigate though as they are quite pro b/f.

i was a bit grossed out by it to begin with thought yuck, then when i thought about it a bit more, i decided its actually no different to blood donation, except far less painful!

Good for you Katz! Don't think I've got any spare milk these days - my night away from DS2 seems to have knacked my breastfeeding . Had to give him two bottles of formula today as he just couldn't seem to get enough milk out, which no doubt will cause even more problems. I was planning on changing over to formula soon anyway but I feel a bit like the decision has been taken out of my hands.

Congratulations on all the teeth popping out on the Junie thread (toothy grin there!)

Lynny, thanks for the CAT, the card will be in the post tomorrow.

Skyler, glad your DH is back but what a shame he had to go back to work so quickly. Is he on nights now then?

Oh it has been a long hard day in the Wednesday household today. DS2 had his last lot of injections on Thursday and it always takes a few days for them to affect him. Such a shame it had to be on a day when I was feeling so tired (serves me right for partying too hard on Saturday I suppose). Still, he's in bed now and hopefully all that crying will have tired him out so much he'll sleep through tonight.

I really must have an early night so will catch up properly tomorrow.x

Hi all. And Welcome Muma from a semi newbie too. Don't feel bad about the breastfeeding, i can beat you. I gave up after a week. My nipples were ripped to pieces and ds got extremely upset with the whole breastfeeding thing. I was most upset that i had to give in, as i was determined to do it, but thats life isn't it.

No teeth here yet I hope they hurry up and come, ds is a typical man and they've been bothering him for weeks, but no sign yet. My friends dd had her first 2 without any fuss whatsoever

Come on you Junies, where have you all gone?

Oooh Muma, just a thought, we have no stats!! Sorry, but i'm a bit nosey

morning ladies

welcome muma, my dd was born on the 2nd too.

katz- great about the milk bank, must look into it locally

there is campaign running about protecting the right to breastfeed in public places. if anyone is interested, thewaynatureintended.org is running a petition - sorry if this not right place to mention this.

eym- how are things? how was the wedding, do tell

lynny- hope you ok, motherhood really can be riddled with guilt no matter what. but you are doing a very good job. (not that you need me to tell you that)

skyler- bet you glad domestic sitiation back to normal. it does make a difference with another adult around.
was having a look at other thread and my half hearted attempts at weaning, i feel i am just showing her tastes but no real substitution is going on. i really enjoy bf and it got me thinking that, although i whant another child that might no be possible and there is no point rushing this one along , just want to enjoy each stage to the full.

lua- hi there nice to se you back, hope little one is more settled by now.

all ok in our house dd was in a strange mood yesterday and has kept her thumb firmly in her mouth for most of the time, not sure whats going on

Hello girls - I'm back at last

Have missed sooooo much in the last month that I can't even contemplate trying to catch up properly so have done a synopsis on concise thread...

Welcome to the newbies muma my dd was also a 2nd of june girlie!

Coop - you've changed! will have to try and get used to new name!

Stats update :
Age 36 (37 December 14th)
Married 6 years, been together 11
DS - 3 years 5mths
DD - 23+ weeks (or 5 months - bloody hell where's the time gone?)

Bubb - just had to comment - my dd weighed in at 18lb 10oz at exactly 22 weeks so your ds is in good company - can't remember who said their lo was on the 75th centile - he he he dd's a 98th girlie well and truely and her appetite means she won't be coming down from there for a while yet

Right best go - took me absolutely ages to try and catch up and now dd's crying for some food...

Oh ps - blimey teeth already!!!! they really are getting on

right william is full of cold be back later xxxxxxx

Welcome back mcmudda - we missed you
And you tea - feels like you've been away ages.
Hello to muma3 - feeding babies = guilt. I'm sitting here feeling bad about giving up feeding mine at 6 months, it's par for the course. It all recedes as new challenges arise and we stop thinking so much about it (that's what happened with no1) at least I hope that's true - having a bit of a down day about it...as I start giving up feeds and my supply reduces
I can believe I'm going to right this next sentence as it's so North London but 'the art therapist who runs the felt making for parents session ' told me a story this morning about walking past a window in Belfast when she was a young mum. There was a baby howling, the childminder was shouting out the window 'Is anyone breastfeeding? this baby has been crying for 5 hours and his mum can't be disturbed she's doing her finals. He won't take the bottle of EBM from me' So this art therapist knocked on the door, hoiked up her top and got on with it. She said the baby hoovered it up and was as happy as Larry! Just wondered if I could have done that.....

Hi Junies - no chance of catching up this time! Hope you and yours are all ok.

Been dipping in and out of the thread, but not nearly enough to keep up.

Lynny - thinking of you a lot honey x

Lua- done your party yet?

wElshie - what a sweet story!

Ds is good - I'm up less in the night with him and he's really smiley and happy.

I'll try to post more when I can read through your posts a bit more x

Anyone heard from Lippy?? If you're reading - hope you're ok!

hey charley hugss, you sound a lot better, aw im glad yo uve got your happy baby, william is very smiley even with his cold.

The wedding went lovely, my sister looked amazing and guess what my other sis gill turned up for the ceromany, which made our day.

Baby Georga has now had her biopsey and she hasnt got hurginson disease so the bowel situation is down to her been so prem, she had put on 4 ounces, which is great news.

William was a star, smilled at everyone even though he was teething, He was so good too bless him.

The food was beautiful and as soon as hubby puts pics on homepage ill show you. Lol i got very drunk on red wine, wasnt my falt it was brother in law topping up my glass.

Made a right fool of myself on dance floor with youngest son 16, but we had a great time. My mum would have been so proud of us all, anyway were all home now next party boxing day lol at sisters house.

Lynny - I wish you had posted the post. I am reading the posts even if I don't reply much these days.

Not much going on here.

quilty about giving up feeding people? I can't get DS off my boobs for anything I just can't get him to take a bottle at all. He will for the childminder but not for me as he is only happy with the real thing - typical bloke I am sure I am going to end up like little britain honestly how do you get babies off ya boobs? I am dying to have my body back but DS just won't give in. its a battle of wills and he seems to be winning out with his mega tantrums. Honestly I can't believe the fuss - formula isn't that bad

Hello!
Good to "see" you Charley, and Pink!

I have similar problem than you Pink, DS could spend the whole day feeding if I would let him! Still not very interested in solids. I was goingt otry sweet potatos today to see if it is a lack of desire for rice. But he got a jab today, so I thought better to wait until tomorrow to introduce something new...

Yes, DD party was a success. The castle looked great, despite the last minute panic that DH couldn't get the pink icing to work... Manage to get the 5 girls busy for 2 hours, but I was exhausted by the time they left! DD was so happy though that was worth the effort!

Hi Muma3! Wellcome aboard! You want 4?! You must be made of stronger stuff than me!

DS started nursery this week, just an hour a day to get used to. That really makes me guilty! But he was happy like pig in the mud!

Lynny haven't received your CAT yet, but hopefully would come soon. Spicy picnic in the garden sounds great!

oh, and welcome back tea! I missed you!
