Be strong. I can only imagine the strength it takes to do what you are doing. My mom left my dad when I was newborn as well and we lived with my grandparents for years. It was the best thing for me as they were a great stabilizing force in my life. It had sounded like he was not caring for his parental responsibilities and the staying out late to drink didn't sit well with me either. But some ppl live their lives differently than we do and it works for them. Just know that the kids will be just fine. And if your DH was a negative influence on them, they will be relieved to be out of that environment. I wish my baby would take a bottle once in a while. Just so I could give dad a shift at night for once. Get like 4 solid hours to sleep. We had a Ben free weekend thanks to my grandparents. They came in friday morning and took him out to their house in the country and he came back Sunday about noon. He was dirty and tired but it was nice to get some one on one with the baby and DH. Hope all goes well for you and keep me posted. You can always vent your troubles on me. I live the life of a family mediator here so it is part of who I am anymore. Plus I dont mind.

Good luck with what ever decision you make.What will we do without our kind mothers?I feel so sorry for you being alone now that you need companionship the most.How woll you manage financialy dear?poor poor you I guess you feel you wasted most part of your life living with your hubby and now its almost too late to start living life all over again especialy after 5 kids.just be positive dear its difficult task dont let your kids dwell in self pity .I have a lot to say but I guess the last thing you may need now is unsolicited advice but if ever you feel like talking I am here.
By the way I hope baby is treating you well eating and sleeping and fortunate not to be colicky.take care .

poor thing,I was also angry and thinking of why I married my hubby just few weeks after baby was born cos he liked his sleep more than anything I had my son thru C/S and my hubby dint give a damn there was this night baby was having some difficulty breathing and was making some strange noises in the room my hubby got pissed at the noise and woke the poor baby up and asked me to take him oot of the room cos he wanted to have a peaceful sleep can you imagine that?through out the pregnancy I was sick and then was in pain after the birth but hubby dint consider all that then he noticed I changed completly towards him and he got his senses back.Anyway what ever decision you make just be sure to raise your sons well cos as a single mother life wont be easy for you raising 5 kids on your own and there is the tendency to let your kids do what ever pleases them cos you feel you owe them all the love they would have got from their daddy.XXXXXX

Yeah we tried a wide neck bottle. The Adiri nurser. It is supposed to be the best for avoiding nipple confusion but she still didn't like it. So oh well, she will be a solely breastfed baby. That is ok. It does get old though when she will be tired or just fussy and DH holds her out to me and says she is hungry. Like if he can't magically make her stop then she must be needing me. Anso, her sleeping is getting better but it is around midnight to 1am before she is really asleep. I just can't even lay down until she is dead asleep or I get crabby and it just takes longer. But she is cute and that is a redeeming quality. Her hair is nuts. If I put it in a bow on the top of her head it looks better but it basically stands on end on the top. I will post more recent pics soon. She is awake a gain so got to go.

Awww I am sorry especialy for your marriage I hope its not gotten to the extent where you and hubby cant make up?I believe lifes not easy for you now you must make your bigger kids help with the house chores like puting away toys and dirty clothes and clearing the plates from the table after eating though its not much but it will help keep the house looking a bit cleaner.Dont stress yourself out take things easy for now and if you ever feel like talking I am here.

i agree i think its down 2 the mother my friend is feeding her baby porridge and he was 12weeks... I'm new 2 this so really not sure what 2 do?!? X

hannydarl - Saturday, 1 November
oh well i will stand on your word cos youve been where i am and over so you know the advantages of having just 1 baby to look after.poor you almost all your kids still need mom to wipe their bomboms you must be realy busy now SUPER MOMMY.

hannydarl - Saturday, 1 November
you are right my sammy has been bottle fed since birth cos I had problem producing milk the first two weeks after he was born and he rejected the breast.I think breast fed babies lose weight at first then start gaining weight later when the body starts producing more milk.I envy you ladies who already have two or more kids I am just begginig the journey of giving birth whereas you ladies are about to say goodbye to dirty diappers

about 8-10 weeks she started nursing less & could go a while between feedings. wow--it sounds like you're going through a hell of alot....to say the least. do you have any other people to help support you during this? you were amazing me with taking care of 5 children, now you're amazing me even more that you're going to be a single mom. if you ever need to vent, send it to me--if there's anything i can do...stay strong!!!!

We're told not to add anything to the bottled until they are 6months, but my little one is already on 6oz every 4 hours in the day, so he has anywhere between 25-30oz a day but think he's gonna need more soon. He hasn't slept properly all day so hopefully he may go longer.. I usually feed him about 8/9 but has just eaten at 10.. lets see if he goes longer. Don't u think its weird how some babies go longer than others...? x

poor baby,dont you just hate it when baby is in pain and you cant take it away?Glad he is well now and moving on in the weight department.My sammy eat a lt you know when i was pregnant I couldnt eat tru out my pregnancy but my tommy kept getting bigger and I was also under stress cos before i got PG with him Ive had 4 MCs so everyday was like "is it going to happen today" for me I guess the lil food I could keep down he grew fat onLOL anyway your lil darling will catch up.my sisters baby vivian was 2.5 or 3kg when she was born she was like a rat she never added weight but grew tall and strong she eat anything you call food as long as mommy put it in a plate then its edible but my sammy is big and smart but not as strong as vivian she could turn her head when placed on her stomach at 1 mo old and was shifting on the bed we thought someone was moving her until one day we saw her moving like a warm wriggling from one corner of the bd to another.Now she is 3 very smart eats well but still on the slim side.

mountainmama - Thursday, 30 October
yup, i'm still breastfeeding. it's going pretty well for us now. it was tough for a while, but then all of a sudden, it was much easier. our major problem has been trying to get her to take a bottle regularly. i must say though i don't know how i can handle another child when tending to a newborn--let alone 5!!;) glad to hear you're getting some sleep. it's horrible walking around sleep deprived.

Sounds like you have it all figured out. I tried to give mine a bottle of my milk and she was not happy. We went out so she had to take some but she was mad about it. And forgett about formula. She gags. But yeah, life is much like it was when we brought her home. /very needy and demanding. We got one 5 hour stretch at night and one 4 hour but usually it is 2 hours. All day tho she eats every 2 hours. It makes going places interesting. I have fed her in the back of the van many times. It is somewhat taboo to nurse in public even with a blanket to cover. Stupid too as there are ads with half nude ppl and sex on tv but heaven forbid you feed a baby. Is it that way where you live? We have some refugees from mayan mar (Burma) and they don't even think of it, it is like no big deal to very openly nurse your baby. So I was curious. I have heard that a dark german brewed beer will help to thicken your milk. I go for an amber beer as I hate dark but if it works you might get more than a 30 minute break.

the only way you are going to get him used to sleeping alone is to put him in his crib or bassinet and leave him. If he cries, then let him. You know that he is safe, unhappy at the moment lol but nevertheless, he is safe in his crib. Nothing can hurt him and he can't hurt himself. He is going to fuss and be mad as hell but once he realizes that his crying isn't going to bring you back to pick him up, he is going to have to learn how to soothe himself. Its better to break him of this habit now than later down the road. The longer you hold him to get him to sleep, the harder its going to be on both you and Gary to get him used to being without mommy. Rosie, you have a lot on your plate with all the children you have. I admire you and don't know how you do it but you are going to exhaust yourself if you don't take some time out for MOMMY!! lol Lord knows we love our children dearly. But unless we are rested and in the right frame of mind, we aren't going to be our best for our kids. Good luck with everything and please keep me posted!! :-)

Well we found out that my little one has a milk and soy allergy and that's what has been causing the reflux and little sleep! You may want to look in to it! We have him on Nutrimagen for a few days so I can radically change my diet and start nursing him again. After 1 day on this formula he is already a new baby! He is actually smiling, sleeping, and overall in a better mood - so hopefully no more meds YAY!
