November / December 2012 Babies

Hi Moomies,

It was quiet for a short time and now i am rushing to catch up lol its like we take a break to gather info and then fire

Momtoc glad the discharge is not too much now takes lots of water sometimes out body just discharges extra fluid. Your Bump is looking cute, baby looks nice and big. Please be patient with your LG sometimes we get busy and forget that they are also affected. Its must be stressful for her with the move and the baby and they dont really know how to communicate it, so when they cause tantrums and change their routine its a way to letting us know they need some TLC. Try being extra attentive to her and you will see how she changes, works with my LG

Palesa don't worry too much about the weight gain with my first two i hardly gained any weight infant the day i gave birth i lost even more weight than i had initially as long and baby is growing nicely and according to plan then relax. Its actually good on you coz you don't have to lose weight later on.

Mags i also keep forgetting to do the kegel, i only remember if mentioned lol

Ms_S nice to hear from you, i am also not having a nursery my two are still with us in our bedroom. My LB still wakes up for a bottle at night but as soon as its gets warmer i will move both of them in their own room and i will have baby's cot next to my bed. I find it easier rather than waking up and going to his room. I also had Dr Gaertner with my LG he is fun and makes you laugh alot. This time around i went back to my old gynae cause of the hospital i have a great time at Vincent Palloti its like a five star. Medi clinic took too long to respond and they would not take baby to the nursery when i needed help (Long story). Nice pic baby is looking nice and chabby.

AFM i have been having serious pains on my sides if i am walking i have to stop and sit first they are very sore. My doc told me they are ligament pain but they are only getting worse. Last night i was so scared i had lots of cramps during the day i have taken a walk to another office block and before i got there i was in so much pain. I will just have to take it easy if its gets worse will phone the doc.

Hi

i did mixfeed with my son had no such major problems. he did have eczema on his face but not too hectic and he got it at like 7 months.
you are lucky to work near home and maybe you should try and breastfeed only for a while.

I don't have any personal experience with this, but I noticed my nieces got a lot better after the baby came. They were very helpful, etc. wanting to do everything for the baby (even though they were just mostly in the way).

Two of my SIL gave birth recently, the one baby is 2 months, and the other is only 2 weeks. Both babies got really sick, the 2 month was hospitalized at 3 weeks with bronchitis and now has very bad eczema. The 2 week old baby was hospitalized a week ago for jaundice, but is fine now. I also noticed the mothers mix feeding, which the dieticians at work said definitely contributed towards the baby's ill-health. Does anyone else here have experience with mix feeding? I'm going to try my hardest to exclusively breastfeed, but I know this will be difficult. When I'm back at work, I'll get two breaks (an hour each time) everyday to express milk or go back home to breastfeed (this excludes my one hour lunch time). There are fridges available to store expressed milk, but I live so close to work that I might as well go home.
Besides the dieticians that I work with, I don't know of anyone else who has managed to exclusively breastfeed for 6 months.

hilerious mosaneo these kids go coocoo when we are pregnant. my 8 year old cries all the time and i mean all the time. his behaviour is irrational he doesnt listen to me at all. very defiant and standoffish.

im hoping his behaviour will be better once the baby is here.

also dnt feel like working

Wow Ms-S ur MIL is a darling and spoiling you. the baba pic is nice, baby looks big. I also cant wait to start swimming, i miss it so much.

Momtoc you lg is acting like my son, he has been that way since i was like 3 months preggers. he doesnt listen at all, very naught, has even managed to hurt himself on the face twice. he has bite from a kid at creche on his back and other scratches. i have to shout and threaten, he also shouts back when i shout at him and refuses to eat, he has lost so much weight. i do not know what is happening with him.

Such a gorgeous pic Ms_S!!!! Baby is definitely a good weight.
