re: ~Official September 2012 Mamas & Babies!~

Quoting Katrina, S & E's Mama:" Back from my 6(rather7week) appointment. Suffered through another pap smear because the one i had done ... [snip!] ... miraculously 10lbs under my pre-pregnancy weight so heck yeahh!! Off to work we go-hope you ladies and babies are all well!"

I was thinking of goin on the ring but i was told i couldnt becuase i breastfeed.

<blockquote><b>Quoting LittleTiger:</b>" I highly suggest Graco Sweetpeace Infant Soothing Swing - Elefanta Its a little on the pricey side ... [snip!] ... so that your LO can swing different ways or face another direction. I have a bouncer seat as well but this works just as great."</blockquote>




Best swing ever!! I'm still using mine from 4 years ago when it was just released! Granted I didn't buy a Graco carseat this time, but that option to click it in was a great one to keep them sleeping

Oh it was very tough to leave him but starting to get a lil easier

So last night i posted on crack book that Adeline is trying to roll at 2.5 weeks old now 3 weeks and well people were saying oh i doubt it blah blah blah ... So I stuck it to them with a video LMAO needless to say the evidence is there https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151459743659692
Not sure the link will work

Yeah dr's are on crack sometimes I think. It is not a common development @ 3 months. It acutally doesn't happen in most babies until 2-3 http://mothering.com/peggyomara/breastfeeding-2/when-do-babies-sleep-through-the-night
babies that sleep through the night very early have an increased SIDS risk actually. Those night wakings are very important and wont last forever.

So, I tried milkmaid tea to increase my breast milk but had to stop taking it. It caused N to be extremely fussy and gassy.he cried for 3 hours straight by day 4 of the tea. So needless to say I probably will have to stop breast feeding soon because I'm not producing enough to store.I'm so depressed.

She told me that because the hormone is not systemic but localized it wouldnt interfere with an already established supply amd that the reports of it causing jaundice and breast enlargement were rare and usually due to other circumstances that werent mentioned in the reports.
My other options were the mini pill, shot, or patch, all of which i could see myself not liking. I was bad with my regular pills and the mini pill has to be taken within an hour of the same time every day-there would def end up being another baby in this house lol

I'll have to talk to my doctor about it. I am horrible with the pill and dont trust any other objects inside me.

Thorian is 6 weeks old today!!!! I cant believe he is gotten so big! We have been breastfeeding for 6 weeks as well. He was born at 6.8 pounds and as of last week he was 10.1 pounds.

Im not breastfeeding and that link doesnt work right now. The website is down  

Quoting Blessed x2♥:" Dont get your hopes up my dear   Might not be the same for you as it was for your mom."

Psh, I wouldnt dream of it. She had every thing easy. Like I said, every baby is different. From what I got from the pediatrician and what I read in baby books and websites, somewhere around 4 to 6 months, most babies are sleeping 8 to 12 hour stretches at a time. Although, my doctor said around 3 months he should change from being mostly awake at night time to being more alert and awake during the day.

I would have gave anything for my kids to sleep through the night at 4-6 months.

Lets see at our house... One was 11 months. One was 9 1/2 months, and one was almost 2.
