Julianna - Tuesday, 2 December Bummer. I hope he gets through it all soon. Maybe if he just grows a bit more he will be able to sleep better :)
Just♥Mommy - Tuesday, 2 December Awww yah the smiles are all worth it!! Wow he drinks 5oz?? I'm bfing, & I had to see an LC bc of an infection I got... she told me he's getting 2oz at each feeding, maybe that's why he eats all day long. ughh lol
Just♥Mommy - Tuesday, 2 December Wow that's great!! I got on the scale this morning and it said I was down 31 pounds, but somehow I find that hard to believe - considering I'm still wearing maternity pants. NONE of my pants fit me, not even the too big stuff I bought before I started buying maternity pants. I feel ya on the gym. I cannot wait to get my 6 wk clear so I can go back.
Wow I cannot imagine him only being 6.5lbs still - what a little peanut. Do you have to buy preemie clothes for me? Asher was 7lbs even when he was born and went down to about 6.5lbs and he does not fit into any of his 0-3M clothes...he's still only in NB right now. I had him at the LC last week and she said he was 8lbs 2oz. I cannot believe the jump he's made in 3 wks -- from 6.5 to 8.2! That's amazing!! Let me know what your ped says...what a little peanut!
How's your daughter with him?? Kaylee is finally starting the jealousy thing. OMG! I'm ready to go insane about it. You'd think after 3 wks she'd be fine by now...but NOW she decides to through in the jealous card. I dont know what o do with her. Oh well...this too shall pass.

Kadens Momma - Tuesday, 25 November Hey ladies I just wanted to let everyone know I posted a 20 belly pic!!
Sorry I haven't replied to a lot of you...a lot has been going on. I developed Mastitis last week and was so weak, I couldn't even leave my bed. I thought things were getting better and then Saturday my other side starting hurting really bad and after a consultation with the LC today, I found out that I am now developing Mastitis on the other side... just when my right side started heal! AGHHH!!!
Breastfeeding has been so challenging to me and I'm so ready to give up but I'm going to keep it up as long as I can...I'm praying after todays consultation and the pointers she gave me, I'll be able to do this pain-free.
But I am thinking of all of you!! I'm just a bit pre-occupied right now. I hope you're all doing well. Take care! -- Krystal --
momof2nsc - Monday, 24 November You know as my boss was telling me that he was going to lay me off, I thought about you. I remember when you went through the same thing. I think there are a lot of people getting laid off these days, its scary.
Aidansmom11 - Thursday, 20 November I am happy you at lost got four hrs..as long as he can tolerate it,I'd keepi doing the ounce..Ohh that soy formuls used to smell like raw potatoes..lol..My middle son..Matt (now 12) ..had to use soy..He used to have a terrible lactose intolerance..Well..he will sleep thru the night soon ..I can remember stumbling around all day 'cause I was up every 2hrs with Aidan at night..and now at 1 yr old..I put him down at 7pm and hes up at 7pm..Thank heaven!! Take care!
Aidansmom11 - Wednesday, 19 November Id add one more tbs....God Bless Him..he's got an appetite!How many ounces does he take at each feeding and which formula is he on..or is it breast milk??Theres got to be a way to adjust it to give you a break..
TwoBoys - Tuesday, 18 November I saw your post about giving your baby some rice to hold him over....my son is 8 weeks and i just strted putting some in his last bottle at night cause i had the same problem. Since doing so, he has slept through the night! I also did the very same thing with my first son who is now 10 years old. I say go for it! Good luck!
jjjenny - Tuesday, 18 November Hi Lisa, Congratulations on Jesse James, just logged back onto this site for the first time in ages! Hope all is well. Jenny
LJess2134 - Monday, 17 November My son is a huge snacker during the day and I just got him to go longer at night. He eatss every 3-4 hrs at night but during the day he usually eats alot sometimes every hr or every 2 hrs. I tried the pacifier thing doesn't work my lil one won't take a binky at all. My doctor says it has to do with his reflux so when his tummy hurts he uses my breastmilk as an antacid... The ped also said thats why my son refuses to sleep on his back it some how hurts his belly more. He's been belly sleepin since about 5wks.. My doc says if he refuses to sleep on his back there is nothing I can do about it really she just told me to make sure I have nothing in his crib.. no bumpers, pillows, blankets etc.
aamn105 - Monday, 17 November My son did the same thing and the doctor said I shouldn't feed him that much, it just that they like to suck its comforting and when you feed and brup them have a pacifire ready and give it to him right after. It worked I would have to put it in a few times but at that age they still have trouble keeping it in. He would always pass out shortly after.. Hope thats helpful..
Mandy86 **pink** - Saturday, 15 November I hope everyone has a good weekend.Tons of Baby Dust to the TTCers and Congrats to the mommies!!!!!!
Kadens Momma - Saturday, 15 November Hey ladies I just wanted to let you know I posted my ultrasound pics up if you want to look. At first I have to admit I was a little bummed about not having a girl.. But now with each moment I think about my son I fall more in love with him.
pregalicious mami - Friday, 14 November Hello ladies! I have a question: Has anyone had any good success with a postpartum belly wrap? I have purchased one already. I've never used one in previous pregnancies and I wonder if it will help any? I'm hoping I didn't waste my money. Thx ladies
Just♥Mommy - Tuesday, 11 November Thank you ladies for your thoughts and comments!! I really appreciate it!! I'm doing well -- I actually do not feel like I just had a baby. It's the weirdest thing!! Asher is doing great. We had a weight check yesterday at the doctors bc we're having issues with bfing still -- and he's still 6.5lbs. But we're getting there. Thanks again for all your comments!!!
