Mommyme, 4 ure snags is excellent! Ons klein engeltjie (5 en n half weke) slaap 4 ure vir die eerste stretch dan is dit bors elke twee ure daarna. Sy drink in die dag ook elke 2 ure. Ek voel soos n eersteklas melkkoei!

Joans, wow! Julle het n fantastiese slapertjie!

Met jou eerste een is borsvoed nie so maklik nie, maar dit raak net beter soos tyd verloop. Probeer om maar vas te byt. Dit help rerig dat die kleintjies nie siek raak nie. My oudste het nooit siek geraak terwyl sy op borsmelk was nie, eerste keer siek geraak op 15 maande, en toe was sy nie meer op die bors nie. N laktasie consultant het vir my gese statisties is blikmelk babas 4 -6 keer n jaar siek, en borsmelk babas 0-1 keer n jaar siek.

Mommyme, jy het al seker gehoor van "sleep breeds sleep"? Doen wat jy kan om haar te laat slaap. Hoe minder sy slaap, hoe minder gaan sy wil slaap. Makliker gese as gedaan, ek weet!

Ons het ons engeltjie in die moses basket gehad langs ons bed tot op 4 weke, en in die dag slaap sy in haar kot in die babakamer, of in vibrerende wiegie langs my terwyl ek werk. Op 5 weke het ons haar oorgeskuif na haar kot in die babakamer in die aand ook.

Een FANTASTIESE hulpbron wat ek gevind het, is n boek met die naam The Wonder Weeks. Jy kry dit as n app ook, en die app is great, maar die boek gee jou beter agtergrond. Google dit as julle nie hiervan weet nie. Dit vertel jou hoekom en wanneer jou babatjie soms af dae het.

Kom uit die huis uit! Gaan drink n koffie, of selfs as dit net is om groceries te kry of te gaan stap in die winkels. Ek het effens depressief begin raak met my eerste baba omdat ek so dag in en dag uit by die huis gesit het. Sit bietjie mascara aan, trek iets anders aan as sweatpants en face die samelewing. Al is jy moeg van min slaap, mens voel tog beter as mens eers uit was, al is dit net vir 30 minute.

Hi everyone!

hope you are all doing well with your bundles :heart: would love to hear about your experiences!

mommyme tyd vlieg ne! Nicholas is vandag 10 weke oud :woohoo: wat slaap aabetref het ek vroeg agterkom dat Nic tot 8 ure slaap as hy onder my arm le, maar dit was nie juis ideaal nie want ek slaap dan baie lig en word seer wakker omdat ek heeltyd in een posisie le. Maar dit het wel vreeslik gehelp in die begin! Wat ek toe agtergekom het na 'n paar aande se sukkel om hom te probeer aan die slaap kry in sy moses basket in ons kamer (heeltyd wakker geword as ek hom neersit) is dat hy nou wel hou van swaddle (hy het vroeer gladnie). So ons het nou 'n roetine gevorm waar ons hom 8 uur bad, dan voer, dan swaddle en dan slaap hy reg deur tot my man opstaan vir werk. Ons het ook 'n sleep-sheep wat reen geluide speel, dit help net dat ander geluide soos ons wat omdraai ens hom nie wakker maak nie. Ek hou ook die gang lig aan, omdat dit gee net genoeg lig dat ek sien wat ek doen in die donker, maar dis min genoeg dat hy mooi weet dis slaap tyd. Hy het ook al 'n paar dae gehad waar hy net heeltyd wakker is, hulle raak dan maar grumpy. It comes and goes!

Wat borsvoed aanbetref het ek ook op 'n stadium amper opgegee omdat my nips te eina was, maar die nipple guards was regtig 'n lifesaver. ek borsvoed nogsteeds meesdal met hulle.

ek weet wat jy bedoel met die alleen wees by die huis! Soms kom my man by die huis en dan verstaan hy nie hoekom ek so knorrig is nie, meanwhile het Nic heel dag my moeilikheid gegee :side: dit help wel vrek baie dat my huishulp hier is 2-3 dae 'n week, want ek sou verseker nie by al die huis dinge uitkom nie. Ons moet playdate!

other than that I have my hands full with our new puppy as well! Luckily he's the cutest little thing - he's adapted super quickly, never whines, and we're making some good progress with the housetraining, so it hasn't been as overwhelming as I thought it would be.

We're settling in here in Somerset, but it's still a bit strange for us as we don't know a lot of people in the area, but I guess that will come with time.

Hope you all have a lovely day!

:heart:

Hi mommies

This group is very quite. Everyone enjoying their babas. I typed a long post a while ago and lost it on my phone.

Cant believe our little lady will be a month on Friday already.

How is it going with everyone?

The first month for us had a few ups and downs. In the beginning Lea was waking every 4 hrs for feeds and she still does but struggles to sleep since Monday night. She was awake the whole day yesterday and today as well alot. Little bit better today but think she is so tired.

Im still EBF and feel like giving up but really trying to keep on trying.

I let her sleep in our room which i made a bit darker, she just want to stare at everything the whole time. What are your sleeping arrangements and does it work?

Im also struggling being alone all day at home.

Anyway may u have a peacefull evening.

Hope to hear from you soon.

xxMMxx
