    Hey Every1

    Seriously being lacking on posting last while. So how are all the new babies getting on? Elisha is doing great, drinks so much though. Seriously at 2 weeks she was drinking same amount as 3 month old. The phn said its fine as she keeping it all down and her weight gain is healthy. Can't complain as she only has about 6 bottles in the whole day but drinks 5/6oz at each bottle. She's 3 and a half weeks now and she doesn't look like a new born anymore :( She is so alert and strong.

    Hope every1 elses babies are doing well! Feels so weird not going into the pregnancy thread

    Robin is 9 weeks tomorrow. he's a cute little guy. Turns out he's in 15th percentile, so he really is a little guy :D
    Still breastfeeding him every 2.5 hours or so during the day.
    He thrown up into his dad's eye last night. He wasn't happy at the time but also thinks it's funny :)
    oh and Robin tries to latch on anything. Went for his dad's nipple :eek: Surprisingly accurate too even though OH was wearing a t-shirt.

    I'm finding time going too quickly.. Ben is 4 months next wednesday..:eek: he's a great wee man sleeping all night since he was 12 days old ..:p (bragging:D)
    he's suffering a bit on the bottle though now he just didn't do breastfeeding after 6 weeks i had to wean him to one feed a day and when he stopped that he got very dry skin and started coming out in red patches(probably eczema) and wow the amount of spit up was unbelievable..they think lactose intolerance or milk protien allergy.. waiting for pediatrician appointment...
    so phn advised to go on the comfort food for colic and constipation, it's only half the amount of lactose but because he's not constipated he goes to his neck with every poop..:D and he has to be weighed every 2 weeks to keep an eye on his weight as he has 4 7 oz bottles in a day cos he doesn't feed at night...
    other than that he's an absolute joy.. happy and funny and growling at his sisters:)

    Saoirse is an absolute little dote. She's is 9 weeks now and literally sleeping through the night, she'll feed at 7.30pm, sleep till 12 and then I'll have to WAKE her for a feed then. Then she'll sleep till nearly 8am each morning. She's drinking 5oz per bottle and feeding every 3-4 hours.

    She was 9lb 13oz at 6 weeks, so she put on 3lbs 2oz so far. She's very alert and all smiles :) Her colic issues seem to be eased. Have taken her off both the infacol and the colief. Still on the C&G Comfort though.

    :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,173 ✭✭✭lolli


    My daughter (Saoirse) is 16 weeks tomorrow I cant believe how fast its going. She was 8lb 5 at birth. Shes just over 14lb now. Saoirse got meningitis at 3 weeks old and had a tough battle for a few weeks. Shes doing really well now. She drinks 5 9oz bottles everyday and shes a really happy smiley baby. She really gave Mammy and Daddy a fright at the beginning but thankfully all is going well now.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 17,231 Mod ✭✭✭✭Das Kitty


    Well this confirms it, James is a total savage, 6 7oz bottles a day and I'm going to have to up it as well! He's not even 13 weeks. It's no wonder he was tearing my nips asunder! Pretty much stopped breastfeeding now he had no patience for it this morning at all. The only problem with the bottles is that he's windy again, was like a motor boat in the swimming pool this morning.

    Our little angel was 4 weeks old this morning - initially he went down to less than 4 lb before he came home but is heading for 6 lb now. He is drinking 60-70ml every 2-3 hours (am feeding him a mix of premature milk and breast milk) - his daddy is still at home with us but he is back in work on Tuesday...he is such a little character and we still get overwhelmed by the total love that we feel for him, he is wonderful.

    I am back up and about but have not been out much yet (though I did get my hair done while his daddy was nextdoor minding him)...we did go out for pizza (with him beside us) and went shopping twice with him, we also took him to IKEA.

    (Dad writing here)
    His sleeping at night is worsening a little at the moment- he is awakening every 2 hours for feeding. The amount he is taking at night is a good deal less than during the day (its a push to give him 50ml)- it would be great if he would drink a larger volume, less frequently, and this is our aim- but if we try this at present, he starts to re-enact scenes from The Exorcist......:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,862 ✭✭✭✭January


    Growth spurt. They feed more often during one. Also can be very unsettled for a few nights. Will pattern out.

    Can't wait to meet the little guy :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,880 ✭✭✭caprilicious


    Omigod can't believe how fast the time is flying! Rose is now just over 8 weeks. Drinking between 3 - 6 oz's depending on her mood & sleeping 6 - 8 hours a night for the past 2 weeks. I'm really enjoying getting a full nights sleep these days!

    When is the next bumps & babies meet going to be? I'm raging I missed the last one (bit too pregnant for the drive:o)

    I finally got her Christening organised, have a gorgeous gorgeous outfit for her, not too enthusiastic about trying to find something for myself.
    The sooner I'm pregnant again the better, then I wont have to worry about getting rid of the extra stone or so for another 9 months ;)
    Anyone else feeling broody?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,196 ✭✭✭crazy cat lady


    Megan will be 4 months on Tuesday! She's just hilarious! Such a happy little soul :)

    We've just started weaning her, she loves the sweet potato, carrot and broccoli slop her mammy lovingly prepared for her and then froze in ice cube trays! Also the apple and pear puree is a big hit too!

    I have also found out that saying 'Fruit Puree' is really hard! Try it! :D

    Its good to hear how everyone's little ones are getting on. Love looking at the pics on facebook!

    Broody yes, since the moment I saw him, have been provisionally told to wait between 6 months and a year though on medical grounds for me. Shane is a month old today...have not sorted the christening yet, he could use either the gown that my brother and I were christened in or the one from his daddys side...do not want a big day even though we are very proud of him. Am pretty much back to my old weight allready but that was a problem with the pregnancy too in that I could not put on the weight...will miss having his daddy at home on Tuesday, has been nice and my boys have really bonded.

    It is great to see the boys have bonded Cathy. That is very important, especially for daddy. I was home from the hospital on the Saturday and Shane was out the door Monday morning first thing! Your Shane was very lucky to get to spend that much time with ye :)

    Yes we have a lot of little friends to meet up (and tired and company deprived parents too I might add) And this time Aidan won't be the only little boy there. (not forgetting baby Shane was there in mummys baby of course)

    We should find a date that suits and a better location as Debenhams were so rude that day!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,196 ✭✭✭crazy cat lady


    The M&S Cafe in Dundrum Town Centre is very mammy and baby friendly! They are always very helpful when I go with Megan. They also do the most fab mocha!

    The parking would also be alot cheaper than the 20 euro it cost us that day in the Debenhams cafe! :D

    Omigod I would've wanted my car valeted & filled with petrol for €20, can't get over them charging that much for parking :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,458 ✭✭✭CathyMoran


    My husband said IKEA but I am not so sure...how will everyone be travelling? M & S cafes are very family friendly (was there yesterday with the little one) so I agree that an M & S cafe is another good idea.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,214 ✭✭✭cbyrd


    I will definately make this one girls.. i'll be travelling from navan and with any luck my husband will chauffer me so anywhere will be fine with me :D
    Ben is so ticklish when i just wave my fingers he laughs his head off in anticipation!! cute :)

    I cant believe it was a year ago that i was posting on the pregnancy forum. Caoimhe is over 9 months now, she is crawling all over the house and pulling herself up on tables, the couch, the bed, feckin everywhere :D. She has 5 teeth and has been sleeping in her own room for about a month now. Its so hard to believe how fast the time has gone.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,174 ✭✭✭bulmersgal


    Hey its been so long! How are all the babies getting on?

    Elisha is on solid now will eat 2 jars and have about 27oz's of milk still so thinking i'll have to give more food. She was 5 months yest. She still not sitting up by herself but keeps trying to crawl when she's on her stomach, so cute can move around the floor but she goes backwards. Still no teeth either but hopefully soon


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,458 ✭✭✭CathyMoran


    Baby Shane is just over 5 months too - I really did not have a clue at the begining looking back, it has been a very steep learning curve but also a huge amount of fun. Our son has been incredibly placid but very inquistive so far so has been exactly like we were as young children. We has his christening finally last Saturday, it was so late more because we had to ensure all his godparents could attend and also because my mother in law is very ill so we were sorting it around her, it was a great day. As there is a history of food allergies on my side (we do not know my husband's medical history) we have not given him any solids yet. If I had known that being a mother was so much fun I would have had a football team of children, am happy to be defined as being a mother and a wife. We both love our son.

    That sums it up perfectly for me also! If it wasn't for the whole 9 months of worrying/waiting then the labour bit I'd also be working on the football team!!

    Too true about loving to be defined as a mum. I thought it would bother me somehow as I'm very independent in my own right, but I love being defined as 'Roses mum' :)

    My young lady isn't doing fantastic on solids, but I also have a lot of food allergies so I'm not rushing it at all, plenty of time yet :)
    She'ss drinking about 30+ ozs of bottle a day & is absolutely thriving!

    I would love to have a little brother or sister for her before long but I think it'll be a while yet before that happens.

    No sign of teeth as yet, just about perfecting the sitting up by herself and HATES being on her tummy so not making progress with the crawling just yet!

    Are there many of ye mammy's back to work yet?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,458 ✭✭✭CathyMoran

    Am going to take the 16 weeks unpaid leave as well - can not imagine leaving him for 15 minutes let alone longer yet.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 17,231 Mod ✭✭✭✭Das Kitty


    I took the unpaid and I'll be back November 3rd.

    James is currently sick of sitting (he did that for about a month) and propels himself around the play mat rolling over and back in search of things to grab.

    He's eating 3 meals, 3 bottles and a few bits of finger food. He's a chubby little lad but his energy levels are through the roof!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,196 ✭✭✭crazy cat lady


    Its so good to have a catch up on all the babies!

    Megan is thriving! She just turned 8 months and has been crawling for about a month, sitting up since she was 5 months, and is now standing up everywhere and starting to creep around the sofa etc... I'm thinking I'm gonna need those eyes in the back of my head my mum was always going on about :rolleyes:

    She has 2 teeth, sharp little feckers they are too! She's been saying 'Mama' for a good while but I don't think she's using it in context (although thats not what I tell people!) She also says 'Ub' when she wants picking up or when she wakes up in the morning, its so cute!

    She has 3 meals a day and just 3 7oz bottles, although its a struggle to get them into her. Grown up food = grown up poo's... Nice! She still sleeps thru the night most nights although we had a bad couple of nights when she was getting her teeth.

    She's such a little character and a really lovely baby to be around. All the family adore her and she loves her bigger cousins. She's so enquisitive and will not sleep if we are out which can be very frustrating, but she just doesn't want to miss a thing!

    I can't remember my life without her, and I certainly couldn't imagine ever being without her now. I'm back to work in 6 weeks so we're hoping to cook up another little bundle before long so I can have more time off :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,458 ✭✭✭CathyMoran


    Doh, I forgot, he has 3 words - his first was daddy, then he said baby (he has not figured out that Shane is his name yet) and then he said mama (mummy is hard to say)...he has been saying them for quite a while. He seems to be getting into sitting up, just about and sort of crawling...we also want another one sooner rather than later, even more so since we found out that our family is having another really cute baby (one of my sister in law's)...he is also starting to almost clap his hands. Oh, we think that one of his teeth is coming through, he accidentaly bit me today - I laughed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 559 ✭✭✭TargetWidow


    Hey Everyone!
    I've been out of here for what seems like ages! How are all the mammies and babies doing? Baby Harry is almost 9 weeks old born on his due date 07/07. I am hoping he is just as punctual when he is sixteen and has been given his time to be home! He is even more placid than Molly, goes down like a dream at 7, I wake him at 10.30 for a feed and change and then he sleeps till 7 again. We usually tiptoe back to bed for two hours at 8 and Molly wakes us all at 10, so loads of sleep, happy days! He is cooing and grinning, trying to copy any faces we make at him and my husband has had to come to terms that there is a new man in my life that I am even more in love with than him! He's just getting to the lovely little chubby jowls stage now and he's ferociously chatty and laughs in his sleep (What in goodness name does a 9week old baby find funny in their sleep?!). He's really very tall and we have to put him into his cot tomorrow because he has already outgrown the moses basket. Shame, because one of us usually sleeps with a hand in the moses basket ready to tap the dodie back in if requested in the night! That won't be so easy with the cot!

    Thats him. I'm delerious. I can't wait to have another. Molly worships him and is potty training happily at the moment. I keep her home alot because I am enjoying her so much lately too and I want her to have as much of my time as I can while I'm off work. Occasionally she gets sick of the sight of me and misses her little friends at creche and begs me to let her go (especially if it's library day or park day). I'm back to work a few days before Christmas, but Im self employed and have staff so I do a few hours every week anyway, on wages, paperwork etc. I'd have 10 more if I hadn't been so stupid as to wait to my late 30s....and hopefully the next one will be as easy a delivery (GAS AND AIR>>>> wowee! BEST night out I had in the last 3 years!). Hugs to ye all....xxx:D

    Aww I love hearing how everyones babys are doing.

    Well Saoirse will be 8 months on Thursday.

    She has had meningitis and now she had Developmental Hip Dysplasia. She has to spend more time in hospital in Traction, having an op then getting a body cast.

    She has no teeth yet, she cant sit up by herseld but I presume that comes from her hip. She can roll but i'm not supposed to let her do that now.

    She is really happy and is always smiling. She can say baba, dada and something that sounds like oh goody god. :)

    She lights up my life. I feel sorry for her because she has been through so much. She still keeps smiling though.

    Heres a pic of her

    Aren't babies great? They just take everything in their stride, whereas you've probably been worried sick. They don't know any better I suppose.:)

    Yes, you are right, I could do with taking a leaf out of her book. Shes so laid back. I think she gets that from her Dad though :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,937 ✭✭✭implausible


    My wee buck (Cathal) is 14 weeks now. He's such craic, the giggling cracks me up and we sound like a pair of eejits:D He's getting really sturdy, sits up on my knee with my hand barely touching him for support. He's gooing away and thinks he's talking! He's drooling for Ireland but no teeth yet.

    Was at the PHN the other day and she was onto me about giving him the spoon, despite the fact that the HSE booklet she gave me said that breastfed babies shouldn't until 6 months:rolleyes: He's a really efficient feeder and I've got the hang of doing in public, so I feel I can go anywhere. He goes down at 8:30 and sleeps until 7 and if I take him into the bed and feed him, he'll go back to sleep until 9, so getting plenty of shut-eye (fingers crossed it doesn't change).

    The only downside is that the poor creatur is still getting bad wind, which makes him very cranky. I hope it goes away soon, so hard to listen to him whinging or crying in pain:(. I keep looking forward to the next milestone, but at the same time I don't want him to grow up:confused:

    Great to hear everyone's stories, this board has been such a help.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,880 ✭✭✭caprilicious


    Deemark I'm the same, I can't wait for Rose to reach each milestone, but at the same time I don't want to be wishing these precious few months away!!

    Cathy that's amazing that Shane is getting words out already!

    Cbyrd & Das Kitty - I can't believe both your little people have teeth already! Rose seems to be constantly teething but she's still a little gummy bear!
    We discovered 'bickiepegs' today & they seem to be going down very well!

    Lolli you poor thing, sounds like you've had a tough few months :( I'm so glad your little trooper is pulling through & thriving by the sounds of it!
    Rose had a rash + temperature a few weeks ago that I thought was meningitis, cue mental dash to GP's where thankfully it was just a viral rash.

    It must have been terrifying when Saoirse was diagnosed with it & then to need the traction too :(
    She's absolutely gorgeous, what beautiful eyes she has x

    I'm loving catching up with how everyone is getting on!

    Target widow I'm very jealous, they obviously gave me that crap gas & air, mine just made me dizzy :D

    Also so jealous at all of ye being able to take parental leave, unfortunately it just wasn't financially possible for me to take unpaid leave though I would have given anything to!
    I started back to work on a 3 day week and my last 3 day week is next week, really not looking forward to doing the 5 day week, so may try take parental leave then 2 days a week for a few weeks just to prolong the extra time with the little lady :)
    Thankfully she loves her minder in nursery & she settled really well from day one so it made it all the more bearable for me.
    That said, I'm returning to college part time to study childcare so that please God if we are able to have another baby I will be qualified. The plan (if all goes well) would then be to either mind children in my home or else seek a nursery job where I could have Rose + her brother/sister there with me.
    Here's hoping the hard work will pay off & it will go according to plan ;):D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,174 ✭✭✭bulmersgal


    Cathy I can't believe shane is saying mama,dada and baba. Elisha spends all day singing and has started to say baba sometimes but its like the way a lamb would baaaabaaaa so funny. Its mad when she sits on my lap her back posture is very straight but when I put her on the floor she just goes down to suck her toes.

    I tried attach a picture but not sure if I did it right.

    caprilicious i was thinking of doing a course in childcare too just so I'd be better mother as such but got a part time job so putting that plan on hold for time being.

    lolli your little girl is gorg!

    Its mad how babies learn so much feel like every day they can do bit more

    Thank you, yeah she has big blue eyes :)

    Saoirse didnt get a rash when she got meningitis. She turned kinda blotchy looking at couple of days into her hospital stay. Thankfully Rose didnt get it. Its very scary. Saoirses temp went up and she wouldnt take her bottle and she kept scrunching up her face like she had a headache. The symptoms really arent obvious. We initially thought that she had a pain in her belly or something. I almost died in the hospital when they said they were doing a lumbar puncture on her cos I knew then they thought it was meningitis. First thing I got done was a lumbar puncture. Saoirse had 3. Its been stressful. When I look at her smiling it makes it so much easier :)

    I had bacterial meningitis when I was 12 and I can remember it like yesterday so I was soooooo shocked when Saoirse got it. We had different types but whats the chances like.

    Bulmersgal.... Your baby is beautiful! xxx

    Hey

    How is every1 babies doing? Can't believe it been so long!

    Elisha is 1 in 12 days cannot wait. She just started walking properly this week so proud. Can say Eya thats all, will happily just point stuff out or scream. She very chatty but doesn't say any words just baby talk. She's been so focus on walking that it feels like she's forgotten a lot of stuff like waving or how to say baba and dada, still no sign of mama which is depressing but sure what can you do besides say it 100 times a day and hope for best.

    Hi Bulmersgal, wow that year has flown, hasn't it?!
    That's amazing that she's walking already!

    Rose was 1 3 weeks ago, not walking but flying around at the crawling & full of chat & cheekiness :)

    Well I don't have a baby any more... I have a little madam!

    Megan was 1 in January and there is no stopping her. She's now at the stage where she will only feed herself so there is food on the floor, on the walls, in Megans hair, in my hair... everywhere but Megans belleh! Every single thing we own is branded with a sticky hand print :D

    Ah well, all part of the joys :D

    Thanks caprilicious she's been cruising for months so surprise it taken this long but that seem to her same with crawling she was trying from 4 months but only master it at 8. She's full of cheekiness herself will look over at you before she does something she not suppose to. She was eating little bun cake yesterday and offered some to dog and he came over just about to eat it and she shut her palm and went haha.

    CCL oh god i'm dreading Elisha trying to feed herself she'll take a spoon and dip it in and spread it everywhere, or during meal if she gets bored she put her hand in mouth and take stuff out and feed herself. The dirt of her at times, especially with finger food. But sure its all part of the fun.

    Really has been quickest year of my life

    Great to hear all the babies are doing good!

    My Saoirse is 1 since the 24th of Feb and is still bald, only two teeth and today she climbed to the top of the stairs (with her daddy following closely behind but she done it all by herself!), time to put the gate back up, Addison has been using the stairs since she was about 18 months so we took it down.

    She's not really talking yet, babbling, waving, crawling and coasting the furniture and took some steps on Sunday. She's a skinny and tall little thing!

    Our son is heading towards 1 very soon, he started in the creche in the begining of this month, it was harder for me than for him as he considers it to be playing with his friends...planning his birthday, no doubt frogs will feature! He is a really giggly curious child who loves hugs - we love him.

    Hi everyone, has been a while since I visited here :)
    Robin is 1yr 1 month in 2 days and is mostly a happy little fellow. He crawls and cruises at lightning speed, is mad about blueberries (he eats with his hands really well. Bought him a cutlery set for his birthday so we'll see how e gets on!). He still breastfeeds - it got so easy and it is an invaluable parenting tool, never would have thought that!
    No talking yet, but a lot of really funny babbling and noises. :-) He's also very strong - throws a large pot across the room no bother!
    Oh, and 4 teeth so far :):D
