Oh my god Jess fair play to you for still breastfeeding exclusively!!! Well done, I am afraid I was run ragged trying to do that, so at 5 or 6 weeks I gave in and started them on one bottle of formula a day... now they are mostly on formula. I feel really guilty about it and wish I was still feeding them breastmilk as I know it is best, but I kept getting mastitis and I don't know if you've ever had that at all but it is AWFUL and gives you fluey symptoms and you have to go on antibiotics.... Also, my little girl had a funny way of sucking which really hurt me, so I expressed for her and breastfed Louis, but my mother and boyfriend eventually convinced me to start them on formula so I could get better fron the mastitis... I am in awe of you for keeping on going! and I'm delighted to hear your babas are doing so well, they look gorgeous!!! my little boy Louis is so laidback, a brilliant baby whose cry is even laidback! He's fantastic! He hardly makes a sound. Liadan on the other hand has been a much more agitated and stressed out baby, but she is getting a little better as she gets bigger and she is just a different personality altogether! how are you managing work AND breastfeeding the babies?! xxx PS thanks for your comments!
| 26-6-2008 - 4 month check -up |  My mood while writing this blog:tired |
Everett & Macey went for their 4 month well baby check-up today.
It seems Everett is in the 25th percentile all around. He weighs 14 pounds, 11 oz and is 24.5 inches tall
Macey is in the 25th percentile for height and head circumference but a mere 3% for weight :( shes tiny! She weighs 10 pounds 14oz and is 23 & 3/4" tall.
Both babies are doing great. The doctor has asked me to give Macey one bottle of formula today to try and bulk up her calories. Im still nursing/giving breastmilk exclusively.
We still arent going to start food yet. Perhaps at 5 months... Macey also rolled over today for the first time (that I know of)! Poor little darlin scared the crap out of herself. Her arms went flying and then she had a nice cry LOL
They are watchin Baby Einstein right now and hubby just finished dinner so I have to run!
