Re: New Mommies to be May, June & July 2011

Oh S has preference to BF on my left breast. I now have one huge boob and one small boob lol

Tanasha good luck for tomorrow!
We are doing very well, building is finished, just waiting for Telkom to reinstate us, and boy are they useless. We requested the reconnection on 9 July already.

Sarah is such a joy. Our top up bottle has increased to 3 a day. This is because Sarah sometimes performs on the breast and demands the bottle and I give in. I have been drinking the Mom2B supplememnt, only one every 2 or 3 days, but since drinking it, my milk supply has been very good.

Sarah now weighs 6.180 now so really getting very big now. Some of clothing is too small already, time to get the 3-6 months clothing out.

Esmari - S also had baby spots. The clinic said it was milk spots and the paed said it is not milk spots, but said it may be from my washing detergent or stasoft. So I stopped using the stasoft and spots went away.

Hi to everyone sorry have not been very active, but hope u r all well!

Hi ladies, no news from my side. yesterday my cervix was still completely closed, so they could not induce. They gave me some gel and now I am going back tomorrow. I really hope they can do something tomorrow, so please say a little prayer for me tonight?

Tanasha, we can't wait for the news we do hope all is well.......
@Kanyo, if you are breastfeeding, I always give her the breast and it clears in a very short spell.
@Esmari, I know you will miss your mom, my mom still hAs 3 more weeks and I don't know how I would have managed without her support especially her wisdom. @Philipajane, me tOo its my 3rd but I don't knw my kids are too far spaced 6 yrs ago seems like a distant memory have to start all over again. Each baby has different habits too. I am struggling with sleep as she is awake almost the whole night, that is tough and sleeps th whole day when there are other hands.
DH changed washing powder from th nameless shopright ritebrand to Sunlight with scent and she developed a flue instantly and my mom noted the scent so we have had to re-wash everythin with scentless. My mom helped me with the blocked nose, you put vaseline on the opening of th nose and as she breathes in it clears th stream. @MisDee she has rejected th Dummy, does not want it at all, so no sleep

Otherwise hope all of you ladies and our LOs are well

Heyn there. No Kanyo, he only gets breast. Funny you mention water, cause a friend who is a nurse immediatly said I should give him water cause he is yellow. Bit with his levels being normal for his age, I am not going to worry about it. Apparrantly, it is all a good sign if they are not sleepy, are drinking good, and has lots of wet diapers. And all of those are good with him. And you can also see with the naked eye he is gaining weight. If by next week he is still very yellow, I will just takw him fir another test.

Tanasha, dink aan jou vandag. Good luck and keep us uodated. Cant wait to meet E!

my mom just left! In a way I am glad, but I sure am gonna miss her a lot! Gerhardt had a perfect night. Woke 10pm when we went to bed, then 2h30am, and there he is awake again now. Wow.

so toodles.
