Hey y'all!
Dulcet - how the heck did your infection happen? Is that CS related? How are you feeling now?
I seem to be getting af - is that usual? It's only been 5 weeks since my CS. It's very light pink so I'm presuming it's early AF anyways.
I'm fascinated by the weight loss following birth - in the days after I had B I had only lost 1-2lb and felt cheated! He was nearly 10lb! Now that the swelling etc has gone down though it's been just over 2 stone. I'm still 1 stone over the weight I was before getting pregnant though (Magnums and Dairy Milk).
pixie everyone I know who's been to Canada says it's amazing. I'm dying to go because I'd love to see bears and whales in the wild (probably not why anyone chooses to move tehre though!). How come you need to stop feeling R so much? B is 98th ccentile too but everyone seems to think that's a good thing? He's certainly porky enough - obviously becacuse he's my child I think he's amazing but he really is starting to resemble a pig ever so slightly! Especially when kicking off and going red in the face.
popz crawling AND standing - wow! Have you nailed everything down ;)
snap that sounds frustrating - what is the HV suggesting you do to try to encourage him to feed better?
Definitey eat ALL the frigging cake!
min yaaaay for 'mama'!!! Did you have to wean mini earlier because she didn't like milk?
my sil was 'told off' by her paediatrician for not doing enough tummy time with my dn. Apparently they need to do 1-2 hours!!! Surely that's madness? Is that true?
mini boo to puking! That's happened to me before - for same reason, that there was obviously a bit of wind behind the feed which came up and brought feed with it. I now feed him with a towel over myself and bed! suggested by someone on here I think!
I'm starting to feel like me and B are getting to know each other slowly. It's still mind-numbingly frustrating at times but I'm trying to watch him for cues and work out what he wants - and also not get upset if he cries. It's so hard to get used to the idea that baby crying is language rather than the normal 'crying' definition of sad/upset. I've been so wound up about upsetting neighbours and my cats getting upset that I was letting it bother me too much.
Thanks so much for the suggestions on facebook. We watched him feeding and other behaviour last night and this morning and I think people are right that it's tiredness/frustration, linked to my fast let-down. He wants to comfort suckle and instead gets this massive gush of milk in his gob, so he pulls back and screams. I've started cuddling him instead when I think hes just tired and he starts to nod off. FEeding has been less fraught (not perfect, but better) and I'm feeling a bit happier.
His wind is a bit better now that I understand when and how to burp him. I get very frustrated though that he wakes himself up with the wind - does anyone else's babies do this? He's so difficult to get to sleep, so when he wakes up with a fart 20 mins later.... sigh 
He definitely doesn't reach deep sleep for at least half an hour - he rarely sleeps longer than 40 mins during the day. I don't know if that's bad or not, but there's not a lot I can do about it either way. That must be why he's so crotchety feeding, he never gets a decent rest poor thing.
Sleep regression sounds shite from all your descriptions!
