I've just bought a snuggle nest off someone from here, am waiting on it arriving. Shelby is constantly in our bed so thought I might as well cosleep so will let you know once I've got it how its going.

Glad its not just Shelby making funny noise's

*Yawn*

Edward hasn't slept at all since 9pm. I only had 4 hours broken sleep last night too. I'm knackered. On here with him in one arm to keep myself awake, otherwise I'm in danger of nodding off on the sofa with him

hi girls, - i found you!!!

how long did it take for your milk to come in? im on day four now and hoping it comes in soon! were having to top up with formula after every feed as baby has lost some more weight

gills8752 · Feb 26th, 2010, 06:49 AM

Mine came in day 3 sorry! Can you not just pump your colostrum/feed bubba more often to help gain weight?

Hi girls

Little baby Grace Emily was born at 9.25pm on Tuesday 23rd February weighing 8 pounds 8. We got out of hospital yesterday evening.

Congrats Lou! You can come chat in here now about how we're not sleeping and have no time for ourselves anymore

Dream.A.Dream · Feb 26th, 2010, 11:58 AM

Congrats Lou

Samzi- my milk came in on day 2 or 3 I think, so unfortunately can't really help there.

I can't BF though because LO won't latch, he flat out refuses and just screams until he makes himself sick so we've had to switch to formula. I'm quite upset about it, but there's not really a lot I can do, he literally will not latch on the boob no matter what. I exclusively expressed for a week, but going forwards it's just not practical for me as it meant I was spending no time with him.

How much are you ladies getting out and about? I'm not sure if I'm doing too much. My bleeding seemed to have tailed off and got really light but the last few days I've been out and about and it seems to have come back really heavy and red again. Am I doing too much do you think? xx

gills8752 · Feb 26th, 2010, 13:00 PM

My bleeding went light and brownish then got a bit heavier and proper red blood again and has been like that for quite a few days now. I had a look at I've got a open wound on one of my inner labia's so I presume its that which is bleeding. Midwife and HV don't seem all that bothered about it so I hope it'll just heal up on it own. Its only been 2 weeks so will wait till 5/6 weeks before worrying. It doesn't smell so its nothing bad yet!
As long as yours doesn't smell I wouldn't worry. Being out and about will cause more blood to come too so my midwife says. I've been out most days so it could also be that which has caused my extra blood. I don't think we need to worry until we get to 5/6 weeks/if it smells.
My HV said as long as I'm keeping it all clean and changing my pad regularly it'll calm down eventually.
