Good morning all, happy new year!
:hello:
I thought I'd delurk and join you on this thread.
Was hoping you lovely people over here could let me know if you think this is norm:
Tigger is 9 wks now, colick-y and is on FF on comfort milk. He's a big boy and weighed 12lbs 15oz last Weds from a 6lb 15oz birth weight.
Is this considered overweight on on the way to if he carries on like this? DH seems to think so and even the HV has started to suggest that we start giving water between feeds in case he is just a 'sucky baby' after weeks of telling us to feed on demand. He can easily polish off between 6-7oz each feed ? :think:

Hi there and welcome!!:)

I don't get Daisy weighed. I haven't seen HV since Daisy was about 2/3 weeks old. If you're happy with Tigger and he seems happy I wouldn't worry. I'd be more worried if he wasn't gaining any weight! Daisy is getting a little chubby now... I love squidging those chubby cheeks!;):D

She's had 2 lots of jabs and has been fine... needle goes in, quick cry then she grins at the nurse!!:rotfl:We do give her a little calpol in the evening after though.

Kitkat... why is the HV seeing you tomorrow?? Tell me to F off if I'm being too nosey!;)

Lol smartie! I phoned the HV about birth trauma, and they asked about why I wanted to go over it and I got v tearful on the phone, they want me to go to docs and be assessed for pnd but I said I wasn't sure, so she's coming to see me. Feel a bit mixed about it. I think it might be good to talk about it.

Merfe: T never liked his swing for weeks now he loves it, I try to avoid using it too much but it's a godsend when he refuses to sleep or I want to get on with stuff!

Thanks for the replies everyone.
Weight: It's nice to not feel like the only one who thinks his weight isn't an issue at this stage.
In my head, he's just cuddly - mummy will just need to eat more spinach to build up those arms (I'm only 5'1" and quite small with feeble arms ) to carry him. :rotfl:
Jabs: Looks like I'll be joining the Cult of Calpol soon. poor little peeps, so many jabs!

GAAAH I get on the bus on the way home from school, there is a space were you can just about get 3 buggies in. There was a friend of mine whose little boy (under 2) was asleep in his buggy in one space. fair enough I wouldn't expect her to collapse it, there's nothing worse than a toddler who wasn't ready to wake up. But the other 2 spaces were being taken up by a woman with an EMPTY stroller type pushchair sitting in the seat NEXT to it with a little boy who looked the best part of 4 climbing all over her :mad::mad: and just to make it worse she just WATCHED me lift off squeaks heavy carrycot complete with sleeping Squeak, take it halfway up the bus to a free double seat, collapse the frame and lift it up in to the rack and vacantly say 'Oh if I'd seen you I'd have moved' :mad::mad:

Sorry rant over. It just made me so mad

That's so annoying about the bus delain :mad:

I was sitting on the sofa reading a book this afternoon and some women with a pushchair went past, stared in the window and gave me a right filthy stare. No idea who she was or why I deserved with the filthy stare?!

Picked Charlotte up at school and as we walked past the other parents she said in a big loud voice "do you know what Mam? I really love you." Everyone looked and went "awwww"

Ahhh ok:) I get soooo embarrased if anyone asks about the birth cos I start blubbering:o Even now people I know on a "hello" basis ask (nosey people:mad:) and I get emotional. Serves them right for asking!!:rotfl:Hope it goes ok and you get the help you need x


*RANT RANT RANT* (on behalf of delain) Some people are just soooo annoying:mad:

kitkat5566

Thanks smartie HV's actually really annoy me so I hope she isn't too bad.

How's Daisy sleeping atm? Theo woke 5am, I took him to our bed to calm him... Next thing i woke and it was 9am and he was asleep next to me lol. Better not make that a habit! He's cut a tooth at the bottom right on the front so that must have been why he was up!

kitkat5566

And delain, how very annoying. Makes me kinda glad there is no public transport here! I must try taking theo on the park and ride when I next go into town, I imagine I'll get v peed off!

smartie12

She's still being a pain kitkat:( DH was up with her last night while I was on sofa. I didn't sleep though as I could still hear her. Had to wake her at 8am though!! And then she didn't have a nap until this afternoon!!!?!

I think she's got so used to being awake most of the night we're going to struggle to get her back to sleeping through.

Delain, I don't go on public transport (walking distance to town), but it does seem like it's women with prams who can be the rudest to others with prams. They always block aisles and shop doorways :mad:

I'm another who doesn't really bother about baby weight, although I got madam weighed today out of curiosity - she's 6.75kg now (14lb 13oz) and is tracking perfectly on her little line. I think sometimes too much emphasis is put on how much the baby weighs, and it just stresse parents out unnecesarily.
