Robyn, So sorry to hear about Vanessa. I am doing mine on my own. Here is all the info you need Maternity Uif Doing mine on Wednesday!

Hi ladies
Hope you and babas are all doing well

McK is now on the bottle (expressed breast milk) so I have help from DH now

I'm quite upset as Vanessa from Uif Partners is an absolute hoax and cannot get hold of her at all, so I don't even know if she's sent my forms off!!!!!
So now I've been sent all my forms again, which I must redo and must do it myself
Who has done their own uif? I have absolutely no idea what to do or where to go?

Good morning Ladies,

I have to admit it is terribly hot but I'm not complaining, it's about time summer showed its true colors, I need to lose the weight around my ass and hips and with it being cooler I don't have much choice of pants to fit into now with this heat I can just pop a dress on, it is however too hot for our lil ones, I have Ali sleeping in the lounge with nothing but a body vest on!

bettsF I've been using pampers and have been really happy with the size 1 nappies, I also received size 1 Huggies and have been very disappointed, Ali's clothes have been soaked twice now, so I'm using them through the day where I can change her more often, they will be finished by tomorrow thankfully. It could be though that they are a little smaller but the size 2 is way too big, same issue you having JB. I have read though that the size 2 pamper sleep and play nappies are prone to not holding in the pee as well so will use the pack I have also only in the day, I suppose its a matter of testing and seeing, what's best.

Went for our 6 week check up on Friday Ali is weighing 4Kg so she has picked up 1.5kg and she is 55cm tall now, 8cm growth, apparently she is still small for a 6 week baba but the growth is good. The doc said the excessive saliva and hand chewing could be that Ali might start teething soon. She does seem to be content if I rub her gums but will wait and see. She also has a blocked tear duct, nothing we can do about it as its normal so she could have it all the way until a year!

JB congrats on the weight loss. As for the sleeping she is doing really well for one month, I mean Ali only dropped her one night feed recently, I wish it was the 3-4am feed, that feed kills me.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week.

Hi girls

Seems its going better with most of you which I'm so happy to read!
Lauz when is your check up?
Another friend of mine is also using the Total Comfort. Her mom works for the distributor / producer? They also do pediasure which we use for Kaylee. I may give it a try but wil ask gynae for advice.

Ginah let me know what sister says please because we have the same problem and I wonder if something is wrong that's making it hard for him to pass wind / stool it really seems to struggle even though she is breastfed and not constipated.
Just a thought - maybe he cries with nanny cos he knows youre close by? It will be different when its just the two of them, maybe give them more time together before you go back to work?

BettsF shame hun, just go shopping in aircon places all summer
But I hear you and its not even that hot here yet and I even have her in just a nappy during the day.
Re nappies - I cant recall hey but was always partial to pampers mostly cos of price specials. The pampers newborn I like cos theyre slightly bigger than huggies and Rei is quite chubby I think. We are between sizes though. Size 1 is slightly too small (hence my current preference for pampers) and 2 is slightly too big but I'm sure a week or two that won't be the case.

Sounds like lots of the bubs are sleeping very well at night! Well when I read that earlier in the week I was totally jealous as we'd had a really bad few nights where Rei would wake up at 1am and be awake for 3 hours as if it was day time. She was sleeping really well from like 4pm though so I started trying to move back when she started sleeping for long hours and it seems to have worked. If she wakes after 2pm for a feed I always try ensure she is awake for an hour afterwards, so that she is then going back down at 'bed time'. The sacrifice is that it means she's often needing to be put down at the same time that Kaylee is home and wanting some quality time, as there is really only 1.5hrs once K gets home before its her bed time. But I was going out of my mind and really feeling very sorry for myself.
It's still tough some times during the day as she really does struggle with passing gas and stool and it will wake her from a nap. She is also awake for at least 2 hours at a time when she is awake and then will sleep for 1-2hrs.

Rei is a month old tomorrow yipee
Our paed check up and first vaccinations are in 2 weeks time. Also lots to ask paed but on the front of my mind is her cramping.

All in all we've had a very hard first month, much harder than I was expecting. I think Kay was generally easier never had cramps, but we were so overwhelmed with her post surgery care and administering of medication that I don't really remember the first month that well.

We are still breastfeeding, and I had a bout of mastitis this week. Really bad fevers made me feel extremely ill, and a very sore breast and blocked duct under my armpit. Thankfully Rei cooperated and fed like a champ for the day and by the next day it was clear. I am on antibiotics though just to make sure it doesnt come back!
During the day she feeds 3 hourly, and night time is 3-4.5hours generally, and seems to be dropping the first night time feed usually around 10pm so will go from 7ish till midnight. Thankfully we have had a good weekend so I'm hoping it will just get better from here.

I have lost 11kgs now, so 4 below pre pregnancy and chuffed with myself. Still have 6 to get to what I weighed before I fell pg with Kay and will be very happy to get there! Trying to loose 5 a month till end of Jan, would like to get some new clothes to go back to work in on 1st Feb, hopefully a smaller size!

Anyways, hubby wants pc back! Do keep chatting!
Anyone on whatsapp??? A few of us chatting nicely there too so feel free to join us

Hello ladies! How are we surviving the heat? We are having a terrible heat wave rite now, have the kids in their skimpiest clothes. Eli just a vest and diaper. Way too hot, shame he actually has a minor heat rash. He is getting so cute. Has started smiling now at me and gurgling and cooing. Very adorable. We are off for our first injections next week, not looking forward to that at all, but I'm eager to see what his weight is. Who is using pampers? Have to say I was a avid supporter of the brand with my first son, but I've found now that its paper thin, not good quality at all. I've started using huggies now. No other news, besides trying to get ready for christmas, we aren't travelling, will be home, so its going to be quiet. Well Eli has started fussing. Let me go. Chat soon

Morning Ladies.

Can't wait to go for our 6 week check up. Have so many questions to ask. On Tuesday Ali literally slept all day if she was awake for 30 minutes it was a lot. Yesterday she made up for Tuesday and didn't sleep. I'm hoping this is possibly her growth spurt!

Wow Ginah 9 weeks already, time is flying. I have read up that S26 Gold does cause constipation but its always best to check with the doc. Good luck on getting him to go to the nanny, you'll get it right soon I'm sure!

Anyway hope everyone else is doing good!

Have a lovely day all

Hello Ladies

Long tym since I posted.
BabyO is growing nicely and is 9weeks and we are
going for our ten week injections next week. He slept
all the tym at first but now doesnt sleep much during the day.
He still wakes up every 3-4 hours for a feed at night.

He is on both the boob and formula(S26 Gold). He has had a problem
with passing stool and farting.I am going to ask the sister about this
next week, because I am worried about this.

He is also drooling a lot Lauz.
He sometimes cries when I have left him with the nanny which is
worrying bcoz he will stay with her when I go back to work.

The pics are looking good.
Sorry I cant do anymore personals baby is crying

Take Care ladies
