re: ~Official September 2012 Mamas & Babies!~

Thanks katrina!


Thorian seems to be right on track to me.
He rolls from stamach to front. He may go from back to front in a few days. He is almost there.
Smiles, babbles or Who's like an Owl   over and over again
he loves to stand up! he does this assisted but is pretty strong and I usually only hold onto his hands.
He basically sits up on his own but I keep my hands around him cuz he doesnt have complete balance yet.
If he is laying on his stomach then he will try to push him self up so his arms are straight but hasnt fully accomplished it yet. He just started that a few days ago.
When layong on his back he arches his back and scootes. So he will end up across the room by pushing his feet on the floor. His poor head is bald and red from the rug   but hes happy!
He seems to be teething.
Loves to grab for his toys and try and put them in his mouth.

Quoting Katrina,Phia&Easton's Ma:" When I take it I do 2 3x a day and MMT I drink maybe 2 cups but I've seen women on here take up to 9 pills a day"

Wow your SO has some super strong genes. The pics are adorable =D

He lost some of his hair but not all of it.   He has a bald spot on the back of his head.

LOL that was the only boy outfit that i could find "christmasy" other than the onsies with saying on it.

E has just one awkward strip of long hair at the nape of his neck. Kinda looks like a mini mullet

Definitely!
Luckily they got their huge eyes from me lol

I tried the fenugreek and tea today. I squeezed three lemon wedges into it and five scoops of sugar! lol it wasnt as bad as i thought it would be.

For the tea to be effective you need to drink @ least 3 cups a day (ick)
Fenugreek is the BEST. Take 3 pills 3x a day until you notice a supply increase you are happy with, then go to 2 pills 3x a day.
The best best best way to to get the max milk when pumping (i get 9oz when i pump in the morning from one breast) is let the baby nurse the other side while pumping, it tricks your body into thinking its actually a baby.
It helps to cover the pump and bottle with a blanket so you aren't looking at it stressing out, you let down easier.
Some rescue remedy before pumping helps to, the more relaxed you are the more milk you get.
Drink @ least a gallon of water a day.
When the milk starts to slow while pumping compress the breast with the heels of both your palms... keep doing this. You can literally physically help the milk out this way.
The earlier it is in the day the more milk you have, your supply dips throughout the day. I pump during our first feed, its our morning routine. I go make coffee and bring it and the baby over to the bed and pump and nurse at the same time. Then for a second pumping i would do earlier in the day if you are pumping more than once. But try to pump more in the earlier part of the day.
Since I only pump once a day I only feed my baby on one breast all night then pump the other in the am. (she only feeds a couple times a night). I have an awesome supply so I can do this, I wouldn't recommend this if you dont have a good supply.

We have never had a blowout in cloth... its amazing
