[Afreshstartplease]

Don't think we have a thread yet so here we are!

Ds arrived here 18/10 @ 5am one day before due date

My fellow needs a poo twice a day. Poor mite gets super stressed if he doesn't and no one sleeps. He's ebf. He gave us a proper smile at 5 weeks.

DD is on about 4 poos a day it feels like Groundhog Day ..6 weeks and I think I've hit a growth spurt or peak of fussiness period or whatever those websites attribute this to. She won't settle and constantly wants to feed and cluster feeding is killing years off my life. Feeling like throwing in the towel and topping her up with formula to save my sanity

Is anyone else still bleeding? DS will be 6 weeks on Monday and I'm still bleeding, though very light

Derry I bled right up to 7 weeks and then it just stopped one day. Doctor said the only concern was if it was affecting my iron levels, but it was very light so I doubt it was. Hopefully yours will stop soon!

Thanks Karina. I've got the docs tomorrow for the 6 week check up so hopefully everything will be ok.

My bleeding stopped at 4 weeks, and I've just at 7 weeks had a very light period I think

Kariana I bled very very lightly until 6 weeks. Was referred to get an ultrasound in January in case there were any issues with infection or retained placenta but yesterday started a light period. I'm exclusively breastfeeding so I'm surprised! I was hoping for a few months more period-free!

Darn I've started my period too. I was hoping to have a little longer without one.

I had a light one for a week, then nothing for a week and now lightly bleeding again

How have the babies who have had first vaccinations reacted?

Fresh - my DS was fine. A couple of horrific nappies but other than that an a couple of decent lumps on his thighs, all went well. I on the other hand was a wreck. When are yours booked for?

Had them yesterday morning

He was pretty grumpy all day afterwards and following them only took about 8oz between 1pm yesterday and 8 this morning. Slight temperature needing three lots of calpol too.

However this morning he seems brighter and has done well with first bottle thankfully

Pretty sure my DS (10 weeks) is teething. All the signs there and he's literally drooling everywhere. Lovely... Anyone else?

My ds didn't seem affected by the jabs, however I'm thinking I'll get my comeuppance at the next lot!

I'm also wondering about teething. Ds has been drooling, chewing his hands and now has one red cheek. I hope it's not yet!

I've been told 12 week jabs shouldn't cause a problem as no men b in them, it's the 16 wk that has that again

How was everyone's Christmas? Hope you all had a lovely time!

Christmas here was good, as was new year. Everything has just been hectic and I am more than ready for the big DC to go back to school now!

Where are you all!?!

I'm here!

I'm also here. How are you dc doing?

Yay! Life on the thread

All is well over here!

Ds is almost 14 weeks and a mainly happy little chap! Does well with feeds and sleeps so I can't complain!

DS will be 12 weeks tomorrow. He is sleeping and drinking well. Poor wee love though has 4 teeth coming through so that's throwing off a bit.

4 teeth!

Wow! No teeth here but one uber slobbery baby so may not be far off!

We have another tooth coming through. That's five teeth now. His poor mouth must be so sore

Still here on and off - LO is 15 weeks now!

Wow Derry teeth already! Are you still breastfeeding? Fresh lots of drool here too.

Anyone hit the 4 month sleep regression yet?
