Oh what a nightmare! And I thought uk ones were strict Hmm

Well done Utopian, I was in my Levi's after 2wks but they are very low cut, and very figure hugging now! I have 21lb to go Shock I think I will have to invest in new clothes instead, although my mat jeans are incredibly comfy.

I've used Avent and dr brown bottle, and had no problems except he definitely prefers the nipple to teat. Following the pre mixed milk trial, I've bought a tub of aptamil, and my dp's have offered to take F for a few hours so we can go to the cinema (very chuffed!)

Sounds like some of you have had lovely days :) im shattered dd is 6 on monday so had a party for her today. It was a very easy party (watched a film and ordered food from pizza hut) but im still worn out. Dh is putting the dd's to bed and im having cuddles with ds think ill prob try go to bed after his next feed though

SpottyTeacakes · 12/01/2013 19:17

Dp and I are getting into bed and watching a DVD with a ridiculous pudding from tesco. Think tub with two spoons Grin

Happy birthday to your dd Ellie sounds like my kind of party!

StaceymReadyForNumber3 · 12/01/2013 19:46

I'm still at mils house. Want to go home to bed!!! :(

CODwidow · 12/01/2013 19:51

Having a few issues with my supply today just doesn't seem to be a lot of milk at all! Dd is really fussing as well as she's not getting enough. So I think I'll try keeping her on the boob most of the evening to see if I increase it a little??

SpottyTeacakes · 12/01/2013 19:53

COD try some skin to skin too? I thought my supply was low the other night as ds was soooo fussy on and off the boob but then he slept for four hours and was fine the next day Hmm

MaMaPo · 12/01/2013 19:54

Could she be having a growth spurt, and stimulating your supply, COD? I'd persist if I were you - good luck.

My kind of party and my kind of pudding !

Yep, wel jel of the holidays, we took dds camping last summer and they loved it - dd1 is certain we are going again this summer - with a 6 month old? Really? It was mad enough with them being 5 and 2 and me being preggers. Hmmm.

Bloody reflux, apart from making my baby sad, it is also responsible for the 3 feeds I have had regurgitated down my cleavage today- nice! Gaviscon def helped her to be more comfy last night but won't use it in the day yet as we're day 2 no poo. Luckily she's not showing any signs of being in discomfort like some of yours but it is a concern.

WLmum · 12/01/2013 20:15

Soppy and emotional - over tired no doubt, am having a new surge of love for my beautiful baby today. Smile

WLmum · 12/01/2013 20:16

cod I've had lots of days like that but always seems fine in the end. Might be lots of comfort sucking too. If you can bear it, just sit and watch tv and let him get on with it.

CODwidow · 12/01/2013 20:28

Mmm I also think she's just getting more efficient at filling her belly so feeds are shorter. Making me wonder if she's had enough, ah the joys of bf Smile

WillYouDoTheFandango · 12/01/2013 20:30

WLmum glad I'm not the only one. I keep looking staring at him and shaking my head as I can't believe this gorgeous little thing is mine!

CODwidow · 12/01/2013 20:42

Well shes fell asleep so obviously has had enough, you'd never believe I've done this before would you!

StaceymReadyForNumber3 · 12/01/2013 20:57

COD I'm all Confused about all this feeding stuff. Although I'm putting it down to the fact I've never bf before. Although it may have something to do with the fact that my youngest is 6 and I've forgotten everything! Lol

Well ds has fed about a billion times today! But is now sleeping soundly in his Moses basket (and has been for a whole 5minutes Grin) I think it's a growth spurt. Poor things just been so hungry. He's 5 weeks today. Where does the time go?!

WLmum · 12/01/2013 21:02

cod I've done it before too and I'm full of uncertainty too!

Clarella · 12/01/2013 21:25

stacey George is 5 weeks on Monday and doing the same!

Cookiesandcoffee · 12/01/2013 21:26

Had my first glass of wine in nearly a year! BlushFeeling abut guilty but wasn't a full. Gulped it down though Smile

HoneyMumandSon · 12/01/2013 21:30

What's the 'infacol pause' clarella?

Clarella · 12/01/2013 21:36

yell yell yell yell yell

HoneyMumandSon · 12/01/2013 21:40

Grin ah yes. We get the pursed lips and look of disdain as he realises what we've done to him too!

FriendofDorothy · 12/01/2013 21:40

Gah. Edward has spent all evening either feeding or crying. I just want him to go in the Moses basket and sleep so I can have a bath!!

MaMaPo · 12/01/2013 21:42

Clarella - lol! I know it well, complete with baby's thoughtful look and lip smacking.

Clarella · 12/01/2013 21:59

lol yes - it's an odd one infacol - does it really work? is anyone willing to sacrifice their sanity and stop it to test it out?!

FriendofDorothy · 12/01/2013 22:00

Hehe Edward does the infacol pause too. It's like he has just had his starter and he knows what is coming next!
