Chanz and Skitter - I sent you the pictures... Skitter, it seems they won't go through to your email address... Do you have a size limit on your mailbox?

I'll just send the rest to Chanz as well...

Thanks ladies for the trouble

Hello. All you Wonderful Mommies.

Sorry I have not been around, But between working And little Riley i do not have much time.

Hope all of you are holding you little Angels by now.

Missing our chats so much. Promise for Jan i will be a round a hell of alot more.

Riley is doing really well. He is Nearly 2months eeek He is a big strong boy. 5.26kgs and Tall. everyone thinks he is atlease 3months. He still sleeps like a dream at night. Only wakes at about 2.30 we feed. and change him all in 30mins and he is back to sleep.

Will read some of the tread tonight to get a little up today.

Big hugs and kiss you all the little babys. XOXOX

Shame Lindy, sorry to hear about Skylar's ordeal. You must of been horrified.
Try not to stress too much about the amniotic fluid. Its common with csec babies. My friend had the same thing with her baby. Usually they wait for baby to bring it up themselves and if they dont then they suction it out.
I wouldnt worry too much about how often she is eating for now. Babies usually only start getting hungry 3 days after birth. They need time to adapt to the outside world too
Do they have a lactation consultant that could maybe assist you? Michael has a very small mouth so when he latched his mouth had to be wide open. I found what helped for me was to brush my nipple down from the nose downwards which in turn opened his mouth the widest. Hope that makes sense. Sorry for the personal question, but are your nipples always erect?
I know mine was only erect when they were stimulated (by pinching them). You doing well Lindy

How is everyone else doing?

Skitter- thanks for the info. Wine & cheese evening sounds good. And my cousin loves cheese.

Lindy, some babies are more "tired" than others, it happens, but it should turn around soon. good luck. If they pump her stomach it should help get rid of the amniotic fluid so that she will start drinking.

Thinking of you and hope everything turns out ok xxx

Hi ladies......sorry for not doing updates first but I am having a really hard time here. I would like to ask....how often should baby feed? she is not waking up for her feeds and then when we wake her as soon as she starts sucking on my nipple she falls off to sleep again. They have checked her sugar and it's fine. the last time she ate was last night at 11 and it is now 5?????

Baby gave us such a scare yesterday she went blue and they had to re-do the suctioning or washing of the stomach or something like that. Last night she was still gagging and making herself sick so I don't know what is going on. We are also really battling to get her to latch.
