Attached is the 3month old girl She's such a champ, barely cried at her vaccinations today!

She's growing very well! She has more than doubled her birth weight: she was 2.7kgs and is now 5.7kgs!! Clearly i have enough milk - hehehe! I too squirt her at times and have to letdown into her spoegdoek else she chokes on the force of it... She was 48cm at birth and is now 59cm. Hubby and i are both not very tall. Clinic Sister was very happy with her growth

She also recommends we start with the Nan formula as a substitute for the breastmilk...

Cherikey - your LO's are gorgeous hey! And Colby is growing so well! He was a big boy at birth and seems to be continuing in that trend! Its really great!

I'm still here...

Clearly our LO's are keeping everyone very busy!!!

Our event is finally over so have ample time again which is great. Sad part is i feel like i've missed out on the first 3 months of my little man's life as i was SO flipped busy at the time

We had our 12 week vacc's about 2 weeks ago and my little man had gained 1kg since the 4 weeks before and weighed 6.5kg's and 65cm long... Which means he's grown 15cm's since birth... 3-6 month babygrow's fit him quite snuggly, unlike my firstborn her clothes lasted ages as she just didn't gain weight. Luckily my milk supply is growing strong, and still squirts him in the eye during most feeds and in the shower in the mornings.

All going well on our side (except i really wish i had way more patience, especially with my 3 yr old)...

All good here otherwise!

Here are some pics of my LO's...

Heeeeellllllloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Anybody out there???

AFM - we have our 12 week vaccinations today Curious to see what she weighs cos it feels as if she is sucking me dry. Am worried that i might not have enough milk for her - some days she barely lasts 2hours between feeds...

Still sleeping through at night which is totally awesome

Anyone preparing to go back to work yet? I go back on the 13th of May - it will be halfday until the beginning of June and then full day again from there I am gonna miss her so much! She's also at that really cute talkative stage! Time to start getting her used to bottles and being with the nanny more often

Also looking to introduce formula, as i will only be able to express twice a day at work, and will be missing 3feeds at home so need to substitute with a formula bottle...

Which formula would you ladies recommend? SMA - i see you using the s26... We used Nan with my first born, but it did make her constipated...
Anyone trying the Total Comfort by Similac?

Hey Anthea the pics are so nice, your girls are beautiful!! Morgan really does look just happy, that's good, and she's getting more chubby by the day!!

I'm soooo jealous!!!!!! Tamina still sleeps only 4 hours!!!! I'm feeling it now hey, I'm forever tired during the day, it's the first time I'm not sleeping through the night for soooo long. She's still eating a lot, so she normally sleeps around 9 - 10 and wakes up like between 1 - 3 am, depending on when she slept, then again around 5 - 7....so by the time my husband goes to work I've already woken up twice!!!!!

Great thing though, she's off Buscopan!!! Or any cramps medication, her stomach is doing so well. I have her on S26 Gold now.

She was born with such beautiful soooft curly hair, haha she's starting to lose it....aish... now the Zulu hair is going to grow hahahahhaha

But she's such a good baby, hardly cries "talks" a lot now, fakes coughing . Oh ya but she's starting to struggle with the itching gums hey, poor baby... I must take her for her vaccination next week, she was 5.5 kg at 6 weeks, I wonder what she'll weigh with all this eating!!!

Me again! Just a pic of Morgan taken on Saturday! She really is such a happy baby all the time
