hi yvie again congrats and i'll be joining u soon lol

arrr little emily's stump i cant wait lol

xxx

Forgot to say... I was naughty last night.. got her to be settled - but it was by letting her cuddle up to me in bed (bad mummy!) So it confirms my thought that she just wants comforting... she also had an awake time and was just sat there kicking about for 10 mins before she fell asleep

Not sure what to do about it all... think she is a bit young to try and force her to comfort herself, suppose I will just have to stick it out for a bit longer?!

Here you all are!!!

Hope to be joining you all soon xx

Hi Ladies

Firstly well done and congratulations to all new mummies and babies.

Thanks Lorraine, it took some time actually getting here for some of us , but we finally made it !!!!

Peanut....... is Emily any more settled??
Josh was awake every 2 hours through the night last night, slept most of today. Seeing what tonight will bring!!

HV came today and weighed him he now weighs ................ 6lb 10oz
not bad going in just under 2 weeks.

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww lookk at joshua!!!!!! awwwwwwwwwwwwwww and blooming heck emily is a stunner!wow u got some cutie babies u feb mummies!! paula ur two are just adorable!!

CONGRATS ALL!

and congrats on damien making an early appearance and joining the feb thread!

cheering u on kelly!!

good luck girlies.. the first few weeks can be hard! x

Just had to pop on and say what beautiful babies!
Congrats to you all!

Peanut:I quite often cuddled Katie to sleep the first few weeks as we were both exhausted, she because she wouldnt settle and me because of a c-s infection.
Sometimes putting her to bed and sometimes leaving her in my arms while happy. It hasnt made her getting into a routine any harder. Last 4 nights shes been through 7 or 8 hrs. and her daytime routine is perfect also, into bed no problems. Hope you dont mind my 2 cents worth there, just wanted to share that with you and hope it helps ease your mind about whether to comfort her or not.
congrats on Emily! I meant to get on here sooner but time is short now-a-days, any spare is spent cleaning or playing/holding/talking with her..or just gazing at her, no wonder I get little done lol.
again hope you dont mind my butting in

Hey Lorraine, thanks for the congrats Have seen you around, you are a stalker like me!

Jelly - Emily seemed a little more settled over night... she had her three hours of fun but after that settled herself really well I think...
Yay to Josh putting on the weight - did he lose in the first week? How much? Emily lost 5oz.... can't wait to see what she weighs next time!

Hey faiza.... She is gorgeous isn't she?! I am biased, but I don't care!!

Vicki, thanks for that - I thought for some reason it was naughty to do that...but she just seems to need it sometimes... well didn't do it last night, but did this morning - we like it after her first 'normal time' feed to bring her in for a cuddle

Hi all,

Thanks for all the congrats everyone, I really love my girls!!!!!!!

Infacol is working well, but been advised to give it every 4 hours, Meryn feeds every 3, so can give her half doses if needed. Meryn had a bit of awake time last night and only settling when on me, I would'nt worry about it peanut as they are still only very young, go with what works for you.

Meryn was weighed and has put on, she was 8lbs 1oz when born and weighed 8lbs 4oz when she was weighed around sunday I think!!! (Tiredness kicking in now)

Need to feed, boobs tingling and feeling rather full, Meryns last feed was at 9.15am so I need to feed now!!!!! Wake up!!!!!!!!!!

Paula + Meryn x x x

Kelly has had the baby !!!!!!! she text me he weighs 7lb 14.5oz, 3 hours in labour and called him Kade. Well done Kelly xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Divvy ......... get running up n down those stairs girl.......BACKWARDS !!!!!!! We need you here now ! XXXXXXXX

I spoke too soon !!!! Josh slept most of the day yesterday and was awake all night !!! i got about an hour sleep, IM EXHAUSTED !!! any of you other mums any ideas as what to do ?? its 16 years since i had my last one

Peanut.... Josh didnt lose weight which we were suprised about, glad hes putting on weight as i was scared to handle him, so tiny and delicate. Glad Emily seems to be settling.

Paula...... Glad Meryn seems to be more settled with the infocol, its a nightmare aint it when they have wind and constantly scream. Your girl's are adoreable by the way xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

CONGRATULATIONS KELLY!!!!!

WOW what a lovley quick labour, hope all is well.

Paula + Meryn

Come on Divvy!!!! We need you here girly

Congrats kelly!!!! What quick labour!!!

Just made Emily a real person! So cool!!!

hi girls can i join u

xxx

Course you can!!

Emily is having a growth spurt I thought they didn't have one until 6 weeks! My god is it draining feeding all the time!
Got some nipple shields to try and protect my poor shredded nipples!

Not sure how long I will be able to keep breastfeeding at this rate.... ho hum... at least I am giving it a go like I said I would

Hi ladies

Firstly congrats to you all - the pics of the babies are gorgeous so well done everyone.

Secondly, Peanut - alledgely the first growth spurt is around ten days so Emily is right on target!!! Just hang in there with the breast feeding - your body will adjust in a day or two and putting her to the boob whenever she wants will help to establish a good supply. I know it's draining (to say nothing of painful sometimes) so just sit on the sofa and let everyone run around after you.

Have fun everyone - it passes so quick - I can't believe that Darcey is nearly 6 months already - it doesn't seem five minutes since she was a few weeks old too.

Lots of love
Ali
