MSE Newborn to 1 year Baby Club 1

queens weren't too bad i suppose apart from leaving a needle in her crib and threatening me with security and social services for asking if my partner could sit with ava for a while i popped home and had a bath and picked up a few things because i wasn't expecting to be in there a week i only packed a little bag! The food was rank and I hardly ate but i guess you can expect that from any hospital but all in all i cant fault neo-natal they done a brilliant job but post natal was rubbish i had difficulties with bubba of a night after my partner went home because she wouldn't take one of them disposable ready made milks so she screamed all night, and not one midwife offered help even though every night i used to walk up and down the halls so ava didn't wake any other baby in my room, it weren't until i got home that i really bonded with her. Shes brilliant though she sleeps all night now and hardly ever cries! Did you have any problems registering baby? Oh my labouring midwife and my c-section team were amazing!

no problems registering him just had to do it in ilford instead they offered me an appointment for about 4 days after i had him but i left it a couple of weeks cause i couldnt move properly

sounds like you had it easy by going king george lol, i had to go laintons, my daughter was born on the 13th october and they offered me a appointment for 23rd december but they do a walk-in service mondays and tuesdays I went there every tuesday for 3 weeks got turnt away twice then on the 3rd tuesday they tried turning me away but I basically said this is ridiculous making me go there every tuesday only to turn me away so she finally let me be seen and I ended up being seen first

Morning all not a great night here either. But I am coping although my eyes are heavy!! Ellie was wide awake until after midnight then this morning she has been wide awake since about 4.30 she is to young and cute to ignore so hence I am awake too!!
Caved in and text other hallf as he hasn't seen Ellie since monday and I want them to have a good relationship regaurdless of how we are. I wish he had text me about seeing her though as it feels like he dosnt care about her now and I know he does. I just wonder if I hadn't text how long it would have taken him to text and sort out seeing her. I dread to think!
Anyway I did what is best for Ellie and he is coming over this morning. Now I need to decide what to do about the relationship !! Eekk

Oh dear jenjade, think you and OH need to do some serious talking. I hope you manage to sort something out. X

Rubbish night here too, from 2am till I got up at 7 all I could hear was Ella's noises. Not proper crying but grunts, moans, squeaks and random noises that sound like she wants a burp or a poo but nothing coming out either end whatever I try and do. Fed her twice, didn't seem that bothered amd as soon as I put her down again she starts with the noises. Changed from swaddle to sleeping bag in case she was too hot, didn't seem to make any difference.

I'm tempted to put her in her own room for a night to see if that helps, but it sounds like she needs something rather than just 'normal' baby sleeping noises. Instruction book anyone?!

instruction book, i wish :eek:

if you feel she needs to get her wind up, gripe water worked well for samuel. or when he is on his mat we do bicycle legs which seems to get the bottom end working quite well


well thats the school run done, time for a nice cup of hot chocolate mmmm

jenjade hugs again, sorry its all a bit carp for you at
the moment, is there anyone else around that could come give you a hand or look after baby for a bit whilst you have a sleep or a good chat with other half, dont forget its not long since you had little one and you are still really emotional and sensitive, and maybe he doesnt know what to do either, men are useless after all

missymoo81

yummymummy thats what roo does!!! really random noises that are quite loud, not snuffles. just like you say grunts and funny noises, Roo does it when hes got wind i think, but he wont give his wind up so theres not a lot i can do about it!

oooh mirror going to have go get a coffee now at the mention of your chocolate!
