December 2012 - the fourth trimester is nearly over

[MaMaPo]

:)

Honey it could be the after effects of the injections. DS's poo was completely liquid for over a week after them. In fact they are still not really back to normal and it's nearly time for the next ones.

Glad to hear it Eggs

We've been up since 4:30am, just wouldn't settle after his feed. DP went to work at 5:30, so I stuck J in with me and dozed on and off.

I had the same thing last night Spotty, not fun. Imodium is not recommended during BF.

I feel a bit better now not sure what's going on with my body

Great news eggs must have been really worrying.

Utopian I'm not sure about the hammock I'm afraid.

Any news on the missing cousin?

I'm not convinced a switch to ff will help dd sleep longer as she has had a night of ff once and slept the same pattern, I just reckon I'd be awake more sorting bottles etc so bf here mainly for laziness

Have had the calm discussion with dh over the whole drunk in charge fiasco. He is upset i'd consider that he would get drunk if solely in charge, I explained if past weeks were anything to go by blah blah blah. Am glad he is sensible enough to not drink on his own with them (and I do trust he won't) but am sad that when I'm here and he offers to take over for a night so I can have a drink that he doesn't take the same stance

Thanks all. It's so lovely to have somewhere to come and discuss poo

Slings - D has always been legs in until I started wrapping last week when I started experimenting with legs out. He still seems more comfy legs in as he's quite little still

Chloe she was found last night, she decided she wanted to visit London then got confused and lost on the underground.

Even with gaviscon we have the occasional liquid poo, think its a relief for F to not have to strain to push those poo out!

F refused to go back to sleep at 4.30, took DH to work at 6.30, and f was asleep in the car seat when I got back so naughty me I put the seat next to the bed, and we both slept another 2hrs, lovely!

Glad she was found eggs.
And not naughty- you need to take sleep where you can get it!

I was so good about leaving him in car seat for minimal time Eggs, stripped off and out as soon as we got home. Now he gets narky if you interrupt his nap so I leave him with his coat undone until he wakes. Especially when I'm unpacking the supermarket shop as that's when he's a nightmare.

Willyou until he was 2wks old the car seat was the only place we could put him, but the MW told us off so for ages I was over cautious. Now I follow the dont wake a sleeping baby rule, and if he's happy I'm not disturbing him.

First giggle!

WL wow! How old is your LO? And thanks for the tip about fenugreek - love maple syrup

Good news eggs

I'm back in bed with ds on the boob, nice lazt day today Already told dp that I'm not cooking so freezer food for dinner. Had a really busy weekend, I moved at 26 weeks pregnant so lots still in boxes and this weekend was first when I had energy to start sorting through stuff and dp could look after ds.

I just had a two hour nap on the sofa

Doh I missed your previous post about her safe return eggs, great news though!

Great news Eggs.

WL yay bet your so happy, H keeps trying but hasn't quite got it yet, although DP swears she giggles for him.

I've just had a lovely breastfeed with H, the type of one i want to do for my final feed. But because it was so nice its making me question whether i really want to quit. Grrr just when you think you've made a decision something comes along to make you question it. Plus like someone said last night BF is definitely a easier option for night feeds.

Oh and i'm still awaiting H's poo

I just had a lovely feed too - C went over 4 hours this morning between feeds very contentedly, and then fed nicely. When she stopped sucking and I looked down to see what was going on, more often than not she was grinning up at me with a mouth full of milk. Adorable.

She's just played calmly on her mat for 45 minutes while I did the pre-cleaner tidy-up, and is now in her cot while I experiment with 'can little C put herself to sleep?' So far she's playing but at least she ain't crying!

Well, what a failed experiment! She started crying, I tried to soothe her while she stayed in bed, and when that went nowhere got her up to cuddle her, which led to full-blown screaming meltdown, only fixed by giving her a quick feed. She then fell asleep OK in my arms.

I can't envisage the day when she can put herself to sleep! She gets herself into such a state.

Mama, i love that grin and that day will come when you least expect it. How nice is it that you can comfort her with the breast though

Yes, thank goodness for that hales - nothing else really works.

So my pram has become unusable - I just took c out in it and she screamed absolute blue murder, worse than when she got her jabs. Just screamed and screamed, everyone giving me accusing and/or sympathetic looks. Had to abandon walk around park.

Any ideas what the hell is going on? Second day this has happened, except this time was worse. I need to be able to use the pram! Help!

Ed was weighed today and has put on 2lb 7oz, up to 9th centile from 0.2 in 5 weeks. If I'm not careful he will soon be out of his newborn clothes and I'll need to unpack the 0-3 months! He is 9 weeks old.

That's great pmgkt! Ds is on the 9th centile too for his actual age but still looks chunky!

Mamapo I have no idea all I can suggest is that hopefully it's a phase and will pass

I know quite a few people mentioned they put tights on LO under trousers or rompers. They don't get too hot do they? When he's in the sling his feet get cold because he kicks his socks off so was thinking of putting him in tights but as he's usually just in trousers worried he might get too warm.

Ds doesn't get too hot but if you're worried then you can buy things called sock ons. You can get them in sainsburys

I'd rather just put tights on him... lazy mummy

Pink flowery tights...

R wears a vest and sleepsuit then his outfit over the top. He seems comfy enough in it. I put hat and bootees on if we go out in the sling, or snowsuit for car/pram-only trips :)
