Newborn and baby advice

Ladies i was thinking today that 4mnths ago i just could not cope with coliky baby, engourged breast and a painful sterilasation cut. But now looking at my gorgous son is pain al forgotten and yes like all the other moms said it got better with time(lb is still not sleeping during the day,we have no day time routine yet and he is still not drinking bottle)
But i am not complaining,just counting my blessings!

@scribblingA -THANKS for the advise will try the saline nose spray,i was using salt water solution drops now for 3 days but it is clearly not working.

i started giving seth creche gaurd from monday,he loves the taste so we dont have any med problems.

so much want to join you ladies*(from cape town)
keep us updated

Lucy i started to bath my son everynight from 2weeks @7pm after the bath is feed and then nap time. he is now 4mnths and i am following the same routine. If i visit friend or family i bath him during the day or at there place.
he sleeps like a baby at night and we dont have any issues.(sleeps from 8-3am and then 3-15 till7h00am)
routine works"""""

my baby hasnt pooped today or yest. What comes out is water stained with poop. Very little comes out, could he b constipated?
I started him on solids on Sat, he was fine, pooped everyday till yes

Lucy, winds are normal. Babies are very gassy!!!
Just make sure he gets them out (fart or burp) after each feed to ensure he doesnt get cramps.
the probiotics will definitely help too

Some advice needed. Since decided to formula feed, my little boy and I are more at peace and happier. He is growing nicely. He has a wet nappy at every change (8-10) and has a poopy nappy 2-3 times a day. Usually hits the 3 mark if I give him pumped breast milk, which I try to do at least twice a day when I can express. But he still has such hectic winds... I mean farts like a trooper and constantly cringes during & after feeds till he either burps or farts to release. Is having so many winds at 2 weeks normal... I feel so bad when his face is in such pain! Is it the formula? Or is it just his tummy, not developed enough yet?

Advice? I have him on ProbiFlora which probably is working but we cant tell... he isnt colicky as he doesnt cry out its more winging and cringing and little cries which come and go quickly... but are constant...

ok perfect

I still have your address so will just see you Friday then!! really looking forward to it.

just really hope at least ONE of your babies will benefit from this! imagine if they all hate it!!!

@Zulu - welcome back - we missed you! Sorry that you've had a rough few weeks, at least things are settling down for you now! And as for taking care of 2 babies - isn't it funny how our men tend to exaggerate their pain hey! He he

@Nicky - I'm so glad things went well at the creche, it makes me feel so much better for when I have to take Connor. Its awful that you are sick though, hope you get better soon and - I hope it stays Away from little Liebe! About the vitamins, I haven't given Connor anything yet but I'm going to buy creche guard, I can only give it to him from 4 months though, but I'm going to start when he goes to creche and that will make him 15 weeks so I'm sure it will be fine! I hope it works!

@Abby - welcome to our thread, you will enjoy it here - the ladies are great and you will learn so much from them!

@Jacadebra - shame, I'm sorry about Lea now not being happy in her car seat, it must be hectic, because we really have no choice hey? We have to drive and they have to be in their car seats - for now, I hope Connor will still like the car seat for a long long time!

@Meags - I am going to put the heater on so the lounge will be warm, and I will out blankets on the carpet so that we can all air around with our babies! I will have tea and coffee and juices, etc and I always have biscuits, ha ha! If anyone would like to bring something with then great, but its not necessary. I'm looking so forward to this and finally meeting you Meags! I'm going to post my cell number here if you can all just SMS me, I will send you my address and directions, don't want to post my addy here! My number is 0828258339 - looking forward!

@Lucy - how are you?

Ladies, its freezing! I'm dressing Connor snuggly and keeping him indoors, brrrrr

I'm off to the shops today to buy Connor a new playmat, Its time for more stimulation for him!

OK, I'm off - hope you are all enjoying the public holiday with your families!
