Thanks 3kids........ I think i am just tired and like you say its all worse when tired. Jack has gone to DH's parents for a few hours, they've been on holiday and haven't seen him I think since xmas day. Mum and I have been cooking and we aren't finished yet, we are both feeling tired, but it will be handy to have all these frozen meals in a few weeks.

We are expecting this baby early as I was 37+1 with Jack and all the mw's i've seen said its likely she'll be early too. Too be honest I just want to get to 37 weeks again and then she can come out. I feel appprehensive about the labour as I know what to expect this time and how it hurts! My 2nd deg tear from Jack is still very tender and painful so I don't know how that will fair. The mw say she is already a good size, they reckon somewhere in the 6lb region, so I think we are both nearly ready!

DH and I are both suffering from depression, although he reports feeling a lot better since being on AD's and using his SAD light. My PND comes and goes, some of it I think is the unknown of another baby so close to Jack, he turned 14 months this week. (Not looking fwd to the 14.5 month stage of waking up, as others here have posted!).

Anyway must go help mum, i just stopped for a quick 5 min break.

Have a great weekend, what's left of it.

Hello All,
I thought it was about time I joined this thread. Ellie was born on Christmas day and is fightng fit n healthy now after being in hospital for a week with a chest infection.
Will read back over the pages when I get a mo to myself!! Which isn't very often with a new born and a 2 year old over excitable chocolate lab!!:rotfl:

Not sure if all Makros have the same deals but Aberdeen one is selliing 2 mega boxes of pampers for £25. It depends what size u buy to how much is in the box. We got 888 nappies for £75 which works out @ just over 8p a nappy which is pretty good for pampers.

Hi All,

Just wanted to ask if anyone's baby had jaundice for more than 10 days?

The midwife has been this morning and she says she is really pleased with how me and Taylor are doing, and she's discharged me, but she wants to come in 4 days as Taylor is still jaundiced. She said if it hasn't gone by then, he'll have to go to the hospital to see a paediatrician.

Has anyone else had this?
Is there anything I can do to help it go?

Thanks

Daniel had jaundice, and at a week old he had to have photo therapy treatment at our local childrens ward (very nearly had to go up to sepcial care but somebody kindly came in and gave birth to triplets just before they moved us, so there was no room *phew* did NOT want to spend any time in SCBU)
his bilurubin levels dropped enough that they discharged us after 15 hours of treatment but he was still very yellow for a few weeks,
he looked a perfectly normal colour at home, but as soon as the natural daylight hit him he looked like one of the simpsons!
it was funny because he was yellow from the jaundice, then tanned from the UV treatment so when the normal skin colour appeared (which he had never really been) he looked so pale to me!

in other news.... dont want to jinx it... so i'll whisper
*looks around sheepishly*
Danny has slept through the night the last 4 nights running
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Congratulations scruffy. I remember you asking whether we thought you'd lost your plug! Obviously things moved along fairly quickly after that then!

Hi everyone.

CG, glad that danny is sleeping through, he must be about 10 weeks now? Out of interest what do you class as sleeping through - 11-7am or 7-6am? I'm just wondering as due to Jack's problems we never got him sleeping through and then bad habits developed and it wasn't until much later it happened. I am unsure realistically what people mean when they say that for a young baby.

Also for the other people who give bottles at room temp, when did you introduce that? A newborn would surely expect milk at boob temp/warm, did you just not heat them up so much over a period of time until they were room temp and at what age did you introduce that? I'd like to do something similar but i think a newborn might complain.

Right bed me thinks.

36 weeks today and still niggling.........there is just not enough room for both of us now, something or someone has to give!

technically sleeping through is 5 hours uninterupted sleep!
i gave milk at room temp right from when i stopped b/f, she never had warmed up milk. that was at 5 months.

I got an email from the Huggies competition to say that Charlotte hasn't got any further

Still very proud that she made the final 12 though. They are sending vouchers for the years supply of nappies that I won, and I should get them within the next 28 days. They will come in really handy, so I'm pleased with them
