Mommys to be in SEPTEMBER 2010

Sonay - yes they are supposed to be runny... if they go hard its a problem. Regarding your milk... i also had some low supply time and did some reading, apparently sometime between week 8 & 12 your milk supply will dwindle as your hormnes get back to their old self... but i am pleased to say after a few days of frequent feeding all is well again in the adams house! Baby K still has exclusive breastmilk i keep a every night daddy feedsand puts my doll to bed and i express the bottle for the next night, so if we need to go out i just take that bottle and replace it as soon as i get home.

Mags - shame man... kaelyn goes minimum 3 hours between feeds, sometimes 4... but she was 2 months on the 26th of Oct... so hang in there hopefully your little one will snap into routine soon. Try giving rooibos tea... Kaelyn sleeps from 8-2:30... without a single moan... we just bath her feed her put in her crib and walk out and thats it... sooo sooo good!

Kaelyn started laughing this weekend... its soo cute and so very very contageous... shes been smiling since 5 weeks but now you push her through the shops in her pram and everyone who looks in gets a little smile!! I love it

Hello ladies! Yes, it has got quiet on here! Even if i dont have a chance to reply i always read, so lets keep chatting. Sonay, well done for exclusively bf for so long, and as long as you are finding wot works for you and baby. I must say this whole feeding thing is quite a challenge. I am still bf 3 hourly but Gabi is increasingly wanting the bottle in between! If she is awake she seems to be hungry! Cant really complain tho, as she is now sleeping 11-5, except for her congestion waking her up. Congrats on the 2 month marks, we are 6 wks on Wed. Sonay, so glad your lo is enjoying life so much!

What's happening to all the September moomies? Little ones keeping you so busy?

Must admit, my one is. She's not sleeping such a lot during the day anymore and does not like to be left all to herself. She started laughing and "talking" and wants to be entertained all the time.
At times it seems like the colic is also a bit less, just to be back with a bag the next day. She's now getting at least one bottle of formula a day, and one if we go out and didn't express. I sometimes also get the feeling that my milk supply is getting less. My breast don't feel full at all. She still feeds on demand, which can be every 2 hrs on some days.

A question about her nr 2s: Is it normal for it to stay runny? She's now having a bowel movement only every second day, but then it is a FULL nappy and still very runny. (Sorry if TMI)

Well, hope you all had a lovely weekend and that the week ahead would be even better. After all, we're celebrating the 2 month mark this week/month.

Morning ladies

WOW, it's good to see we're all sort of struggling or going through the same things.

I have now decided to give Shani a top up formula at least once a day. Things were getting a bit much, since she just wants to feed all the time. I am giving her water/rooibos as well. Not that she's keen on drinking it.

Plus, MIL is visiting, and she stresses when baby cries. They don't believe in letting baby wait for a feed. Started with the formula last night, wanted to keep it for her 10pm feed, but she never woke up for it, and I don't wake her for feeds. She slept from past 8 till 3 am. Then hubby gave her the formula, she only drank 80ml. And slept till after 6 this morning. I feel so refreshed after getting some proper snooze last night.

Decided to not beat myself up about the whole BF/formula thing. As long as we're both happy, it's all good.

Shani has also stop doing a nr 2 every day, but she's not constipated and when she goes, it's like you say Kerry, a whopper.

About routine, is your babies in a routine already and how did you go about getting them in it? Thought I would start at 6 weeks, but so far no luck.

Mags - Ginas baby is overweight... so needs to learn to eat less often. Rooibos tea is very good for their lil tummies and the water, well sometimes they are just thirsty with the heat

Gina - i have the same issue at 4 - but i am adamant shes gonna sleep later so i go put the dummy in and walk away... after the 4th time or so she gets the hint... i also found that its the birds waking her... so i put a lullaby cd on at the 2am feed... it works most times. we do a 8pm feed then a 1:30 - 2am and then 4:30-5... try this though it may help

Also its only constipation if the poo that comes out is hard - my paed says they can go 7 days witout a poo. Kaelyn does 4/5 days. and believe me when she does go ita a whopper!

Morning Moomies

pliz dont be so scarce.
Liwa and I are fine, she is still eating lots. She doesnt sleep a
lot dont know why. I still have to consult a midwife. I really need help with sleep training, some nights she wakes up once some twice and some she will wake up at 4 and stay up for an hour.

Thanx Kerry last night I gave her some rooibos but I was giving her some to ease the constipation. The formula is making her battle with number 2. I dont know why coz I am still breastfeeding.

Hope you are all well, Liwa will be 8weks on thursday.
