mommies to be DECEMBER 2010

hi mommies!

congrats GML! don't know if I have congratulated you yet! Hope you are feeling better and can go home soon!

Suhaila @ can't see your pics? LOVE the name Aaqil!!

I haven't supplemented Wian since we came home from the hospital... he is pooping A LOT! my mom had me very worried saying its too much but I read that breastfed babies can pass up to 10 stools a day? Anyone else experiencing this? He passes a stool about everytime I feed him!

Barbs @ Your turn next!! Can't wait to see some baby pics

Google @ Wian had a blocked nose too... I clean his nose with a drop of saline (read you can use breastmilk too) it seemed to have sorted out that problem!

Hello moomies:) GML I'm really battling with the epi side effects, now 5 days later. Headache and back spasms. I hear you on the nipples taking a beating!

Aaqil's hair is being shaved off in a little bit so he will be a baldy a pic whilst he still has hair...

This little man is wide awake, full and just happy staring at me.

Once he's full, he doesnt cry at all unless bored. And when he gets bored i give him his dummy. For now we're just looking at each other. *Happy times*

I am so sleep deprived, yawn the sandman is permanently in my eyes - with constant visitors I can't sleep when Aaqil sleeps so I'm not sleeping at all

GML I've had back and neck spasms thankfully no headache. My boy is also up at night and sleeps in the day!

What's the meaning of Nasiha, I like;) try using a syringe when supplementing Google. Are you guys also going to exclusively breastfeed?

Hi ladies. Im suffering from what doctors call 'mild after effects of an epidural'.

Meaning i have a splitting headache, stiff neck and high blood pressure. This was caused by the position they had me sit in for about 2hours after labour. I have to breastfeed lying down. If it doesnt improve anytime by tomorrow morning, i wont be discharged!

Baby is doing well. Breastfeeding ok so far. But i dont think my nipples will handle it though.

He sleeps a lot. Hours at a time. Plus an overactive sucking reflex. Very cute, the sounds he makes.

How is everyone doing? Night shift ladies, how goes it? Lesego sleeps through the day and lies awake night staring into space, then he gets bored, cries a bit, i hold him and he just stares into my eyes. It's too cute

my last msg cut off before i was done.

Ff, sorry to hear about your friend, can't think of a worse thing to happen! Hope all turns out as well as can be expected, we are thinking of them.

Glad you are enjoying your special lo.

Hi to all my new mummy friends, and mummies to be.

Isn't all this just such an experience? Sorry for not posting much, just difficult since each time i start posting theres visitors or baby needs something etc.

GML i am so proud that one of us managed natural. Had i logged on i would have told you were in labour!

Barbs, hang in, almost there.

Suhaila, haven't finalised a name yet, possibly ...

My breastmilk seems to have finally come in during the night, now they are crazy hard. Only we've been supplementing with formula till now so baby doesnt starve, and now she seems less interested in the boob. Aah! And her nose seems blocked, not sure what to do!!!
