Hi everyone,
thanks for saying Dylans cute As a proud mummy you love to hear it !!!
I managed to express a whole 11 ml today I have been trying to get some out everyday since he was born on Wed and managed a grand total of 2.5ml and then today it just came !! I am so proud of myself
Was good that it happened today though as he had his first ml of milk this afternoon and will get 1ml every 6 hours for a while till he can handle a bit more !!

Hope everyone is OK

OH usually drinks instant coffee, but I was thinking about a Tassimo so he can have a coffee in bed in the morning before getting up! He hates getting out of bed, thought it might help.

How about something like this? (OH talks about getting a teasmade from time to time as his grandparents had one so I googled "teasmade coffee".)

We're now home from the hospital.. Finally made the move today lunchtime. Have been teary ever since but I know Rhys is okay there and I can go in whenever (think OH might have hidden my car keys though.. ) but it's still not as good as I thought it would be to be home.

Am intending to go in every morning for half nine-ish for the doctors rounds then do a few jobs out and about over lunch, go back for a few hours in the afternoon, then again in the evening with OH once he's home from work. Hopefully I'll find enough to keep myself occupied.

On the bright side, the biggest reason I've allowed myself to come home is that I've finally got enough milk expressed to go in the freezer too. At 10pm tonight, there was enough to feed him until 2pm tomorrow plus another six feeds in the freezer too Considering three days ago I was only able to express each feed just before it was due (25ml every two hours), I'm feeling pretty damn pleased with myself that I've got stocks again!

In a few weeks (I hope!), I'll have to move back in to a parent flat once Rhys gets to the breastfeeding on demand stage and they'll also teach me things like bathing him and anything else I need to know then we're free to go.. How scary is that?! (and so exciting! )

Right, best go to bed..

Hope things are ok angelfairy *hugs*

That sounds positive elle. Make sure you rest up well between hospital visits, so you've got plenty of energy when Rhys gets to the breastfeeding on demand stage.

What a rubbish night out we had! The casino was awful so we just did the minimum bits we had to do for the mystery shop job and then left. It was in the centre of Newcastle so we decided to go for drinks somewhere else. Everywhere was really loud and busy, but we decided to go into a bar anyway. We were trying to yell at each other over the music and decided we were not enjoying it at all so hubby suggested going home for a cup of tea instead. How sad are we?

Don't think I could get into city centre weekend drinking again. Used to enjoy it when I was younger, but much prefer quieter places where you can chat to each other over the background music.

no experience myself but i've never heard a bad word said about it. hope things are ok.
my HV is trained in baby massage and is going to come round and teach me how to do it to calm seth when he gets tetchy (that'll be pretty much every nap time then!) could you ask your HV is she can do the same or knows of someone? very MSE as its free, and the classes you have to pay for

Hi Angelfairy,

we had two sessions of cranial osteopathy for our little one, she was extremely colicky, very unsettled and hardly slept both day and night. She'd had a very fast birth and a very moulded head. TBH we were at our wits end and didn't know where to turn and in my opinion it works wonders, where we previosly had a grumpy baby that I struggled with, now we have a lovely, smily, content little bubs.:T

HTH.

Does anyone have any experience of pod coffee machines like the Tassimo and Senseo?

i have tassimo, I like it because I don't drink coffee so I have choc or tea. The way you OH has been lately tho, why get him something so nice? (or am I just a bit of a cow?)

We don't pay for the classes, they're at surestart for free If you wonder around babycentre website there is a johnsons guide to baby massage tho - its pretty simple to follow from written instructions

AF ((((((hugs)))))) Hope everything is ok

Elle I'm sure OH will have left allthe housework and everything else to do once you got home so you'll have plenty to keep you occupied:rotfl::rotfl:Well he might have tried his best while you were in hospital:eek: Hopefully Rhys will follow you home soon.

Becles thats a pity that it was carp, bet you were really looking forward to going out as well. I hate going into town, I'd rather sit in a local pub and have a few drinks where you can actually speak and hear each other.

El is off colour, she is disorientated and unsteady on her feet, wondering if it's an ear infection, so will wait and see how she is tomorrow, caz thats been from yesterday.
