    Hi Flava, I'm here! It is sad that everyone else has disappeared, because I would love toknow how all the babies and ladies from our due date group are doing! I am glad you popped in.

    How old is your little guy now? And you say he isn't sleeping? have you tried wearing him in a sling or a Moby Wrap?

    As far as losing fat, I can't help you there. I am a whale!

    hobber yeyyy u here! ( typing with 1 hand) I have the sleepy wrap he do sleep in that for a short time. But it's not a big help for me because I can't do much when it's on me. And with my back pain not really good anyway. My other babys all took naps so no idea why he only sleeps so little but he sleep good at night so that's very good.
    Im just waiting for the time when I can put him down for a little longer to play look at toys ect. so i can get things done.

    Finally I got the first smiley pics from him he is so cute ! And he is making those little noises now we all love it !

    Yeah the fat makes me so mad Im not loosing anything or even put some on until I stop BF! No matter that I only have a little milk and have to do formula I walk every day now I try to work out a little when I have a couple minutes free!

    Good that he sleeps well at night! Mine does too. He only wakes up once, usually.

    Have any of your kids had any tests that worried you? I don't know if you saw my thread about the test my baby had. He had a barium swallow test where they do an xray on him. THey were checking to see if he had an issue with his swallowing, or reflux, because he was choking while he ate. It turns out all that is wrong is that my milk lets down too fast and he has a sensitive gag reflex. I am so mad that I did the test because he was exposed to some radiation because of it. THe doctor says the risk is very minimal, but I hate myself for letting him have the test when he didn't actually need it! I feel like the worst mom ever, and I am just sick thinking about it.

    I had no test done i just don't think he needs any. But you are a good mom that is why you took him to take the test. Better safe the sorry right?
    You don't feel when the milk come out to fast or to much? That's why he is choking it's way to much in his mouth.
    Try to express some out before he eats if you have time for it , that should work.
    I feel when I have more milk coming.Only on the morning because that's the only time I have some more.
    How old is your baby? and what's the things he is doing? Mine is 2 months next week and we have to go get the shots I so hate that ! Usually I send DH in with the baby because I cant I feel so sorry for them I cry.

    I do feel the milk letting down, but I have always felt it, and none of my other kids seemed to have any trouble when nursing, so I never realize it was a problem. It never occurred to me that was what was wrong, and I assumed it was reflux, because my baby book says that reflux can cause choking while eating. My doctor didn't realize what the problem was either, so he sent me to a specialist. I am just so angry and upset that he had this test for no reason.

    THe shots are sad, but they are over fast. Hopefully your DH will take the baby in so you don't have to.

    What are you doing when baby is not sleeping? Im out of ideas here.
    Hopefully DH can take him he just have to work a lot right now so maybe not...I know it's over fast but to see that they poke him over and over and he just lay there crying makes me so sad. It sucks!

    So baby is eating better now or still the same way? I would be worried too.

    just found this too, good to read the updates!!
    my LO, Oscar, is doing well - so much more content and easier than his brother was. He's a happy boy and sleeps far better at night too (although it's still a bit hit or miss with how long he sleeps)

    Hobber- I think some LOs are just stronger suckers than others. DS1 would take 45mins to nurse as a newborn - DS2 could be done within 7 mins at the same age. Perhaps your LO is just a touch slower swallower?

    Hi Rainbow! Glad your baby is doing well.

    He is a strong sucker, and doesn't nurse for ever. I am not sure how long he feeds for, but it seems less than some of my others.

    I figured out from the Le Leche website that if feed him so he is on my belly or upright he doesn't choke nearly as much, so we are doing that now. I just wish so much that I had figured this out two weeks ago before he had xrays.

    hey best buds again!!

    *waves Flava, Hobbers, and Rainbow*

    Lillian was doing better, but now she's Mrs. Cranky again because she's starting to teeth (I don't see it anyting, but I can feel something along the ridge line) it is making her so unhappy, she's constantly chomping on her fingers and she just discovered thumb sucking. DS1 thumb sucked until he was about a year and then he just dropped it, so hopefully she'll do the same.

    I put her on the floor today because she can flip and I'm trying to get her more "excerise" and I ran into the kitchen to get DS2 more milk in his sippy and I come back into the living room to see him trying to pick her up by her legs...Oh God, I thought I'd had a mini heart attack! He's a little too interested in her most of the time....he is such a mess, my DS2.

    DS1 whose 5 got into the habit of shaking his head and saying "mommy, mommy, mommy" like he's going to scold me, heh.

    Hi rainbow!! how old is Oscar? good that he is a easy baby for you!

    aurora-good to "see" u too! My DD2 was a thumb sucker but from day1 ! I find that so cute!! And she just stop on her own no worries. I like that a lot better than the paci. DD1 had it and it was a total nightmare to take it away finally. DD3and 4 did nothing at all and now baby boy take the paci sometimes when we go for a walk or when he is in the rock and sleep. i wish he would find his thumb too!

    Once DD4 picked up the baby and was holding him but he was hanging down a little I was so scared too!

    What are the babies doing yet? I asked hobber but she is not telling me lol.

    I try to give him some floor time but he don't stay there much. And tummy time is like maybe 2-3 minutes because he don't like it !

    aurora you lost 2lb Im so jealous! What are you doing? I absolutely hate hate the way I look omg so fat! I walk every day now and do some little exercise here and there when I have a couple minutes but not loosing a damn oz!
    Of course I know why because I still BF .Kinda forcing it because there is barely any milk I have to add a bottle to every feeding now but I feel so sad to stop it and sorry for baby.And I know I will never ever do this again. Kinda lost what to do really. But I know soon is over anyway.

    People with lost of milk are so lucky! But bottle feeding is so much easier now for us because baby is sad and angry when not much milk is coming.
    Ok Im just going on and on here kinda talking to myself lol.

    I need to see baby pics girls!
