Due April 2014

Yea no one admits until your in the same boat.. My little lad still is lactose intolerant but can handle a bit in his diet.. Start of using baby milk to mix through foods then see how it goes..

deh983 · 22-07-2014 4:27pm

Did you find it hard at the start finding foods that agreed with him?

Synyster Shadow · 22-07-2014 5:38pm

I started with breakfasts first then after couple of weeks branched out. He wasn't too fussy he's worse now. He loved Sunday dinners and bananas still has one every day

John Mason · 23-07-2014 2:52pm

the boy was weighed today 14lb 5oz at 12weeks.

he is now rolling from back to tummy and tummy to back, so need to start baby proofing, as he is rolling around the floor. he nearly pulled a big iron candle stick on top of himself today

Synyster Shadow · 23-07-2014 3:21pm

Oh I had all this with jack so already done for Lucy.. Although every day there's something I'm moving as he's reached them..

Moonbeam · 23-07-2014 3:29pm

We got back from holidays on Monday after 3 weeks in a mobile home in France.
Lil miss was as good as gold,we changed her formula to a lactose free one before holidays and it looks like she is finally gaining weight,at a rough estimate she is about 12lb which 2 of my others were and about 7 weeks lol
My 2nd girl had a bad milk allergy so this should be easier and will hopefully pass quickly.
She can roll from back to front but can not roll back anymore like she could as a tiny baby.
The last 3 months have flown and as she is my last ever baby I am trying not to miss a thing!
She is so funny with her little chats and giggles.

Synyster Shadow · 23-07-2014 3:42pm

I'm late on AF it came back at 8 weeks and Lucy is 13 weeks now almost 14 and nothing since they are usually clock work.. So once I get them I'm on the pill for sure till after Xmas and we may discuss a 3rd.. Praying I'm not already in trouble! We will defo have a 3rd but I want 1 Xmas not pregnant

Imagine how close they would be in age, not sure if that would be good or bad

Isn't it lovely not being pregnant anymore

Synyster Shadow · 23-07-2014 10:26pm

Yes I really love not been and with her an all night sleeper so early on I don't want to tempt faith.. Both mine are in bed by half 7 up at half 7-8! I like my sleep time

Moonbeam · 24-07-2014 10:36pm

same:)
Caol goes at 7 and the girls at 8 and then I tend to keep baby up with me but she is an amazing sleeper too.

deh983 · 25-07-2014 12:38pm

God ye are so lucky getting them down so early!! Little man goes down around 9:30/10 and up at 7/8 so not too bad.
He's a terrible lad for grunting and grizzling and kicking every morning at 5 but isn't actually awake. Very strange. He has check up in the hospital in Monday so will mention it then. His little tummy has been off since he was born so something must b bothering him still. Otherwise we are all healthy & happy so can't complain.
Hope everyone is enjoying the weather

Synyster Shadow · 27-07-2014 7:30pm

Bumbo is a success

Aww , that is so cute

I need to find a seat for Siún as the bouncer is getting too small and I had to dump out the one that the others all used .

Synyster Shadow · 28-07-2014 8:57am

She likes sitting up so hates bouncers.. So far she loves the bumbo.. I'm also going to get two seats for her and her brother so they can sit at the table with us.. They attach to the chairs and I can bring them when we go to in-laws for dinner

January · 28-07-2014 10:34am

I'm at my wits end... seriously... Doc put Luke on soy formula (SMA) because the staydown wasn't working. He's just refusing the bottles completely now

I've tried different bottles, different teats, different formula...

I'm starting to get upset at feeding time.

He is gaining weight but the poor child spends his waking hours puking, and sometimes his sleeping hours too.

Moonbeam · 28-07-2014 4:24pm

The lactose free milk is working for Siún,alot less sick ups but she is still gaining weight painfully slow.
I am very surprised they recommended Soy formila.
Did you try Nutramigen?

Synyster Shadow · 28-07-2014 6:27pm

Lucy is on nutramigen too and was the only thing she never brought up

It was a life saver for #2 she could not touch milk for over 2 years .

Siún is on Enfamil .

Synyster Shadow · 28-07-2014 8:21pm

Think number 1 needs to go doctor over same thing he's 16 months old and still can't have normal milk

deh983 · 29-07-2014 11:09am

My lad is on enfamil aswell. Has started spitting up a lot recently. I wonder is it time to change teats on bottles. He is gone very clingy and doesn't want to lie on floor anymore either. Wants to b sitting up looking around. Can't get a thing done!!!

Synyster Shadow · 29-07-2014 11:23am

Lucy goes through that phase just get a bumbo my little one can look around at me and her brother and smile and laugh and I'm hands free.. Its great...

deh983 · 29-07-2014 11:27am

I have a bumbo that a friend gave me. Is it ok to use it even though he can't sit up on his own yet??

Synyster Shadow · 29-07-2014 11:47am

Not sure but I've been using it a few days now.. Lucy sits up on my knee with me barely touching her but won't stay sitting unaided.. She won't sit back though freaks out every time rathers to be upright

deh983 · 29-07-2014 1:35pm

He's still a bit slouchy so I might leave it for another while. He loves to sit propped up on the couch looking around.
Can't believe how fast time is going. 3.5 months already!! Have a hen this weekend and I'm not ashamed to say I can't wait for the break and leave daddy in charge for a change

Synyster Shadow · 29-07-2014 1:38pm

Took me months to leave my first and not so long with my second I learned fast we need our time! Take it and run

Synyster Shadow · 29-07-2014 2:39pm

Took 16 months to get this lad to eat strawberries.. T-shirt not so white anymore lol

January · 29-07-2014 9:30pm

He's back on the Staydown and back drinking full bottles but back spitting up as much as before...

The public health nurse said something about hypoallergenic formula but to be honest, I'm loathe to try changing formulas again... his poor little tummy will be ruined.

Moonbeam · 29-07-2014 10:32pm

She probably means Nutramigen.
That sucks:(
lil miss has puked on everything I own by now!

I love the pic,he is gorgeous.

I know u might think I'm crazy but would u think about bringing him to that osteopath in mullingar Rory Murphy I think his name is.. The results seem to be amazing

Synyster Shadow · 29-07-2014 11:42pm

Rory is brilliant I highly recommend him too.. Known him 14 years now

It took me 8 months to leave my 1st at all and then I realised I was back to work in a week so I had to do it so went shopping and left her with her daddy.
It is a lot easier to leave 4 of them;)

Synyster Shadow · 30-07-2014 9:56pm

I can well believe it
I find some days harder than others so day off or half hour is welcomed!

At the moment we have painters in doing the whole house and I'm confined to half a kitchen with the two of the babies nap times awful!

Moonbeam · 31-07-2014 11:33am

Ladies I set up a private Facebook group for us, If you want to join pm me.

Synyster Shadow · 06-08-2014 10:51am

Moonbeam · 11-08-2014 4:57pm

lil miss had her 3 month check today she is 12lb and 62cm so the same as her brother and oldest sister was at 6 weeks:)
She is fine though ,just small like her other sister.

John Mason · 11-08-2014 7:06pm

Leo had his last week. 15lb 2oz and 60cm long.

PHN was was delighted with him, said he will be walking by 10 months :eek:

Left him overnight for the first time saturday. Heading out for dinner and drinks with another boardsie couple.

it was lovely not to have to worry about running home to babysitters

Synyster Shadow · 11-08-2014 8:49pm

Lucy was 14 lb at her 3 week check.. 75th percentile.. Scary!

Moonbeam · 11-08-2014 11:10pm

That is huge! what was she born?

deh983 · 12-08-2014 8:40am

15lbs 10ozs at 3 months. On 4 7oz bottles a day so I have a little monster on my hands here.
Just saw the April 2015 thread!!! Hard to believe that was us this time last year!!

Synyster Shadow · 12-08-2014 9:38am

Lucy was 8lb 9 but lost a bit for few weeks with reflux then shot back up.. She's in 6-9 month clothes jack was 7 months when that happened not 4 months

Moonbeam · 12-08-2014 10:44am

did you mean 3 month check?

lil miss takes 5x 210ml bottles a day but sicks up a bit too and she is still tiny lol

Synyster Shadow · 12-08-2014 10:59am

Lol yep 3 month check.. Bad idea letting prediction text do all the work! Lucy drinks 4 7-8 ounce bottles a day then sleeps 13 hours

Moonbeam · 12-08-2014 11:37am

Lol I was picturing a huge 3 week old

Synyster Shadow · 12-08-2014 12:45pm

Although I'm sure 12lb babies are that by 3 weeks lol

Due April 2014
