loving it guys....oooh youre all a friendly bunch (offers vino and some nibbles around)
righty-o, Iris DD1 04/04/09. 7lb 7oz. Had fantastic pg, loved it hardly any comps and no sickness (sorry to guys that did) wanted to efb but had high bp during labour and after too.....kind of set me off on a mad hormonal, neurotic worrying kind of few weeks
after realising I just needed to get my baby fed and me to enjoy being a mum, i did just that. Iris then had colic, but reading baby whisperer and using some of the techniques we eventually got something going and at 6 weeks she started sleeping longer and longer.
Have started doing the weaning thing at 6 mo. Helped by my mum showing me how to do it when i stayed with her in spain for a holiday at her house (just iris and I, dp was working) and also how to get her into a routine, have been kinda winging it. my dp works late shifts, so really its been up to me, and before i was with my mum I used to let her show me her routine....last bottle around 8 sleep at 10 wake at 7 (tired emoticon)...was all fine when we came back, kept routine, but then she had a tooth break the surface and a slight virus and the routine went out of the window, back to square 1 and right back to basics with the feeding.
DD has always been a difficult feeder and it was nice to her my mum say it as well, had the feeling it was just me and something i was doing wrong that made her not want to eat (that boob or bottle or food)....
other than the food thing???.....loving it and her...amazing, best thing ever.....
