[dubkitten]

Other thread is full already! Ive to head out but feel free to tag others, if not I can do it when back

Just back from my GP check up - all looking good. I’ve really bad back pain the last few days and he reckons I might have pulled something. Recommended exercises and a birthing ball

Anyone in the witching hour stage? 😅 the last few days have definitely been a experience calm baby all day then 7pm hits and like I have a total different baby. 😅 I’ve loosely put in a evening routine for both our sanities

Yep we have one bottle each evening that she refuses to sleep in between 😂😂

But this makes it all worth it

Oh those snuggles make everything worth it. I’ve started taking Atlas on the dog walk with me once my oldest is in bed. Then we get home and have bath together. Then, after bath snuggles on his rocking chair, make it all worth the screaming what has happened before hand 🤣

It’s mad how quick we forgive everything for a cuddle 😂🙈

Yeah the cuddles make you forget everything 🤣🙈

Happy Valentine’s Day 💕

It’s official my six week old baby is in 3 to 6 months 😩 why are you growing so quickly

@Sunshinemoom my little one won’t be far behind.. she’s a month today and already out of Sainsburys, M&S and next 0-3 baby grows
Clinging on with the Asda and very baby grows for now 😅😭 she’s growing too quickly!

Sounds like we all have fast growing babies
Harry is six weeks old on Tuesday and hes in 3-6 feel like ive spent a fortune on grows already haha xx

I have the opposite problem 🙈 Callie is 6 weeks on Thursday and I’ve only been able to start putting 0-3 on her and they are still a bit big

I totally miss this yesterday! I love Callie outfit!

@Confusedmermaid1making me sad how quickly he is growing out of stuff. It’s only his feet and legs which too big for 0-3. But he looked so uncomfortable I had to size up.

@Jadeypie yes we have fast growing babies! Oh wow! Yeah I got loads of Vinted 🙈

@dubkittenfunny how different babies all grow!

Exactly the same here. Nora is 9 weeks tomorrow (😭) and most of her 0-3 stuff is incredibly roomy. My older two lasted ages in each size - still do to be fair - so I won’t be surprised if we get our monies worth out of clothes again this time.

My little one is 8 weeks tomorrow and she is still in first size. I’ve tried 0-3 on and I have to roll the sleeves up 🤣
…so much for my giant GD baby that I was apparently having 🙄🤣

Hi ladies, I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying time with the little ones! Sorry I'm so behind on here, the last few weeks have been such a whirlwind! Please could I ask advice as I'm in a panic and you are all so brilliant with the mum help!

I've only formula fed since birth, my milk came in day 3 and I had tons of leakage from both sides which dried up after a few days, none after that. However tonight (4 weeks + 2 days postpartum) I've woken up to do a night feed and was so shocked to see a really huge milk stain in my bra! Only on one side, which I googled and it was all scary 😢

Has anyone else leaked milk weeks into postpartum? Can it be normal? I'm going to make a GP appointment but really could do with some support in the meantime, hormones are already crazy and this has sent me into a panic in case it's something bad 😭💖x

@TigerLily38 I have no experience BF so will let someone else jump in but just wanted to say ignore DR Google - call your GP and see what they say, may just be a hormonal thing

Hey @TigerLily38 when my milk dried up with my 1 DS I still leaked for a few months after every now and then I put it down to hormones, but if you’re concerned to get a GP appointment.

I agree with @dubkitten ignore Dr Google I know it’s hard for us not to but it always makes us worry more than necessary x

Ah thank you both! @Sunshinemoom thats reassuring thank you, did you ever leak just on one side? Thats the part that worried me - I also thought there was nothing left in there so was very shocked seeing the size of the stain! Bloody hormones!! X

Yes. I would only ever leak from my right side. But I always got more milk from that side to my left and I think it’s gonna be the same this time round When I fully stop x

Aww thank you for the quick reply! That's made me feel so much better - Dr Google is definitely not to be trusted!!

How is everyone doing today? X

Dp is taking the kids to their nan's for a few hours so I can have some silence and dye my hair hahs. Anyone els with other kids feel like the older ones are extremely loud? My ds is hype as it is but omg feel like hes gone even worse!

The constant jumping from one toy to another is driving me mad hshah harry just looks at him like wow hahshaha xxx

@Jadeypie yes. I try not to get too annoyed with it as I don’t think they are being loud on purpose but it would be handy to have a volume button especially with it being half term this week. Luckily Nora is taking it all in her stride… not that she has much choice in the matter as she’s a third born!

@TigerLily38 I have randomly leaked milk and it’s only been from one side weeks after x

Thank you @WanderWalker makes me feel a lot better to know this is normal! No idea why my midwife said it would all go away completely a couple of days after birth...wish she had said "but might come back again" lol 🤣 think it was a mix of sleep deprivation and first time mum-ness that had me panicking - all felt a lot less scary once day time came around and I had this lovely thread reassuring me! 🥰 x

I can't believe my LO is over a month old now, and some little babies on here are even older than that! Where does the time go! ❤️

We had jabs today 😭 Nora seems fine in herself but, even third time around, it breaks my heart a little when they give the nurse a massive smile before getting their injections
