June '07- So DH, what have you done all day today? I have been busy raising your children...

[loonylovegood]

Ria's suggestion!!

Hi Bumper! Welcome back.

No hugging, kissing, cuddling baby after 7pm!?!?!? And £1,000 for her services? That's A DAY!!

I think (and hope) she was suggesting I should gargle for my throat. But like I said, I feel that at my ripe age I can sort out my own throat and hadn't even alluded to needing anything, just commented that I had given DD some pain relief as there wasn't anything else we could do for her sore throat. I really don't think she'd suggest salt water for a baby.

and all those lovely newborns!!

Somebody stop me!

hi bumper...thanks for your text . I meant to text back...but um...baby brain strikes again!

It's worth a go bumper. My milk supply has lessened as well but I think it's just part of the process isn't it? I seldom even wake up with engorged boobs now, even after 12 hours. It does make for frustrating feeds towards the end of the day.

I fancy the tea. I didn't get into town today, but will definately try at the weekend.

3 HOURS in the garden ON HER OWN.

Stop it, foxy!

oops, Jamantha, I thought you meant she was suggesting salt water for DD...again, baby brain strikes again.

Foxy, step away from the babies

I sometimes leave DD in her pram in the garden, but only when she is sleeping.

" All a baby wants is to be left alone to grow"

what does she think they are....farking potoates

Surely not left alone for 3 hrs, with the back door firmly closed & not allowed to even listen out for her???

Did he just say "The baby is a guest in their lives"???

Hi Foxy, not watching it yet, but just reading the thread tells me all I need to know. I've read a couple of articles about that woman. She sounds like a right treat!

LOL at potatoes Daisy - i got some of these today - you can open them up and make tea if you so desire so double bonus - they stink so i'm just using them in capsule form

whispers > derlor runs away...........

No worries daisy, just wanted to check you were ok. The more milk stuff is VILE btw. Hope it's worth it!

How does CV suggest feeding a BF baby if she is advocating holding FF babies at arm's length?

babyboo slept from 7:30 till 7:00.....

Bumper, how do you take the More Milk stuff, and how often?

LO is doing really well, happy, contented, sleeping, but slow weight gain. Took her to be weighed today, and she is dropping down the centiles. My HV was great - she said all the right things, if I'm happy to bf, she's happy, alert, etc etc, lets just keep an eye on her. Milk supply seems fine, but I thought I'd try something like this anyway.

Just squirt it across thr room. If they're hungry enough they'll soon learn to catch it.

LOL tallulah

Foxy, it's a tincture, you take it 4 times a day either neat or in liquid. I recommend holding your nose, trying not to vom then washing it down with orange juice. Or you could just take the fenugreek capsules, but this also has fennel and other weirdy beardy stuff

You lot are brave leaving your DC's after their evening feeding. DD feeds about 7ish, then we wake her at 10.30 which she doesn't like very much but then she goes till between 6 and 8. I do wonder what time she'd wake if I left her but I'm always to wussy to take the risk in case she wakes at something like 3am!

anyone else shouting at the telly?

Just read the rest of your post foxy, going to get LO weighed tomorrow as haven't for ages (have to wait to bloody long!) but after this bad feeding blip I'm a bit worried. She is on the 9th centile as it is. Glad they weren't horrid to you.

TA, (if you are not too knackered to be on here) didn't the HV tell you DS wasn't gaining enough?

I know we shouldn't put too much emphasis on those centils and growth charts, but they still worry us, don't they?

what weight is she now Foxy?

That was scary. Am all for routine - but not at all costs. Were they to listen to that 3 day old baby cry for 2 1/2 hours?

baaahhhhhh (they are for FF babies)

most HV's don't tell you that though!

BF babies have a separate chart

i was talking about growth charts BTW!!
