Jan/Feb 2011 Mommies (Nov & Dec 2010 early babes)

Hi. All, welcome Corgans-mom- i read your story and cried- you're a very brave mommy c a real fighter baby. i'm mom to twin girls born 29dec 2010 at 34w5d. They'll be 4 months tomor! Have a good day everyone.

Matt's tongue was completely fine about 5 minutes after the procedure!! No bleeding or anything

Yvette the problem with Matt is that if his eyes are open, he's crying. So even if he's been sleeping 20 minutes or 3 hours, he cries. So I know if I wake him before the due feed, he will be hysterical anyway I really dont know if the BF thing is going to work but this is my last attempt this week then I'm stopping trying and stopping pumping.

Welcome Corgansmom and Tanya.

Corgansmom - I read your birth story. Sorry that you had a difficult birth but glad that you have a healthy little boy.

How are all the other moms doing? How is your lo's?

Thashreya and Shrevash are fine.

I started sewing again this weekend, it felt good. By the way if anyone is interested I make dog jerseys.

Morning all

Good gosh all and all, Vanya has swopped her night feeds and day feeds around no wonder she doesnt want to eat too much during the day she full and fat from getting me up every hour at night.

Need some help please, she always has a "upset" tummy it bubbles and bubbles all day long she passes wind all the time they stink, pulls into spasms with her legs, i give her buscopan i rub her belly she goes to the toilet normal, and i havent eaten anything im not suppose to. Do any of you know what it might be. I think maybe a air pocket??

Yvette im trying the Pigeon bottles with the peristaltic nipple and i have avent bottles. She still BF but trying to convert her over to bottle, As i work 12h shifts i can go the whole day without been able to EBM i would just die, i cant night feed coz i work 2 nights a week even on my day shift i could get home at 11 or 12 so it really not going to work. Your more than welcome to clover title im finished fighting withher right now to take a breast or bottle. 2 weeks left and counting.

Welcome CorgansMommy may your stay here be a happy one with some really wonderful ladies.

Vix hope it gets better soon.

Chris shame just watch those runny nappies, Arwen had them so bad her bum bleed from the burn.

To all the other mommies a big hello hope you all have a really good week.

Hi mommies and new mom Tanya- Corgansmom

Just read your birth story! Wow, it must of been very scary, so glad Corgan is growing so nicely, the beginning of your birthstory reminds me when I was 12 weeks and my placenta had loosened from the uterus wall, its scary how much blood pours out your body, but what a little fighter u have their. Just goes to show you can't plan your life. Welcome to u and brave, strong Corgan!

Ladies, my big-little boy is getting his first tooth, I'm so excited and sad at the same time, I just want to cry cos they're 4 months this week and they've just grown too much!! I miss my babies being babies! He has been a bit niggly but the biggest complaint is when he drinks his milk, what a fight and I didn't think it would be from teething, it passed my mind and I went to research symptoms of teething other than your common ones and then he also had a runny tummy yesterday, this morning with lights shining brightly on his gums, I spotted 2 little white dots from his left tooth, its soo cute, man, I can't (and can) wait for them to come out, he is so cute and with those first few teeth he is going to be even cuter, they are all just tooo cute! Alexia is probably getting one too her hands are always in her mouth and she is also complaining a bit when she feeds, and starting to drool a bit now, although I don't see anything. I know my mom said that me nd my siblings teethed early. Boy am I chuffed, hope its close to smooth sailing!

Yesterday we dropped them off at mil with nanny and hubby and I went to the shops to get out a bit, we went past to see my nephew, man, that baby has a mop of hair, gosh. He is so cute, I can't remember my babies being smaller than him, he was 3.6 at birth.

Shew ok, on my phone, enough about me and my lot will do personals tomorrow if I get a chance.

MommyN, if u want me to do the list I can as I have to set time aside for work, ill be able to do it then?? Only if u want

Vix its sounds like you've tried it all, and X truely does sound miserable. And it may not get better after 8 months, it may not get better after 10 months. Or you could wake up one morning next week and the problem couldve dissipated over night. Take him in - again though don't see it as the only hope. Because of his age there is no guarentees with therapy even play therapy. Tomorrow will be antjies opinion as well.

Lol vix you don't have to wait 4 more months. If things get worse take him in, 6 to 8 months is just the guideline for adjustment. Implement those suggestions, however, it seems like your are on the right track. Your being consistently loving, providing structure and fair discipline.
Also if C is being good, positive towards you etc reinforce his behaviour with praise, affection, mini rewards. For the time being if he is acting up get dh to discipline him, unless he is naught and its directed at you like this morning then you deal with it swiftly like you did. Good luck and well done on the breakthrough this morning mummy:)
