Breastfeeding and Slimming World

Meh had a bad nite!!!!....... He would go to sleep, put him down 10 mins later awake!! That went on most of nite, hubs tried swaddling him but that didnt work! Feeding n hopefully sleeping most of today for us!
 
Thanks fern, Deffo not leaving him to cry i couldnt bare the sound n then my 2 cats start lol! Thinking he was a bit windy maybe? Wasnt happy when hubs suggested we get him on formula!!! Cheers for that.......my milks been good enough for past 10 days!
 
Hey bunny.....well dunno what it was be we had a normal day n night yesterday! Gonna get some infacol anyway so at least then ive got it in!

Got friends coming tonight so having takeaway......gonna have chicken shishlick n rice my C says its all free nom nom!
 
Baby clinic today see how much Charlie boy will weigh - been two weeks since last weigh in :) Tomorrow got his second injections and later he will love the Christmas party at the baby centre with all they different types of smells of the food, he adores to smell me and my partners food, all good fun in bunny's little world ;)
 
Have fun at the party bunny? Is Charles dressing up? It's ours Tuesday and I've got a cute mrs claus dress with stripy tights for Bella. Hope injections are ok.

Jojo - hope you enjoyed your takeaway, you're doing really well!!

Well it's my Xmas/leaving party tonight as our office closed today. Although I won't be made redundant until the end of my mat leave. Going to be an emotional evening - first night out on my own away from Bella plus the last time I'll see most of my work colleagues. Going to be some sad goodbyes
 
He won't be able to dress up as I wrapped his christmas outfit, lol he might go in a skeleton outfit *inspired by nightmare before christmas,lol*
Good luck with leaving your baba I ain't done that yet, I am sure you will be fine. Although, we are going away with Charles on Tuesday to see the grandparents in Wales and staying the night and how much stuff will I bring just for the baby, mental just for one night!!!
 
Ooo ta fern, gone n blown it anyway cos we decided to go to town n then he needed feeding so ended up in costa coffee so had a skinny coffee n a flaming mince pie.....damn u xmas!!!!! Suppose id better look up how many syns lol. Eek!

Aww Sarah looks like its gonna be a sad night for u ........i cant imagine going anywhere without Dan, bit tied to him until i get my head round expressing........im confused by it for some reason??? X
 
mince pies are stupid syns for what they are imo!

ooh brave leaving Bella! Penny hasnt been left yet, my sister has organised a joint birthday meal in february and has said she expects me to be there (she thinks im being a big girl about leaving her, not just the fact shes exclusivly bf?!) .. and im already worrying myself over it and thinking how to escape!

I leave Penny with Joe for an hour and a half on monday night for fat club (which also is not going well, 3 lbs this week gah!) .. but other than that we are never apart! x
 
Meh remind me not to have friends round after 8pm!!!!! Not only was i starving but then Dan was unsettled after feeds cos they wanted a hold! Ended up having biriani which was a disappointment and Dan didnt go to sleep till 1am! Grrr!

Brighter note......hes now been registered yay now off to mw for another weigh in
 
Well done jojo an little dan!!

Just curious girls. As some of you kno I have a budget to go by each week for shopping an have to try feed a family all week on 20 quid :( just wondered what types of energy like food I can stock up on for while breastfeeding. Got some weetabix in, some digestives rich tea and oat biscuits and porridge oats. Need to stock up stuff that won't perish. Help would be great :) x

Our leaving do was fab! James managed to get Bella down fine and I got home at about 1am! Great to catch up with everyone as well as to say some sad goodbyes.
One of the girls was super brave - her baby boy was only born just over a week ago!!

Anyway I had a few too many red wines, making the 4.30 feed and 7am wake up oh so difficult. Bella managed to cheer me up instantly with her smiles and coos though!

Trouble is I've found out they're changing the redundancy terms so got to get in touch with hr to see if it affects me grr.

Congrats to dan jojo - that's fab!
 
A week! hmm not sure if i think thats brave or just a little odd for me, I couldnt bare to be in another room than Penny for the first month! and tbh im probably just as bad now, Think its great that you got out though Sarah, i think Joe and i would really love a night out.. just at the cinema or something.. but Penny doesnt take milk from a bottle at all and so i cannot, not untill shes fully established on taking milk from a sippy cup/bottle else it'd be a waste of time for worrying, and most likely a very short trip out.


Pennys just had her 16 week injections. I cried, she cried.. she smiled.. i cried. :(
 
Aw, charles cried what like 3 mins tops and went to sleep, brave little boy :) I don't cry when charles gets injected but then again I cry at the most random stuff, lol he did get to see Santa but was a women and was extremly hairy, pmsl I'll add piccie soon
Seriously struggling with food, but still hanging in on the diet with a small threat. haing Tues/Weds off as be grandparents and too stressful to diet but to be honest mainly healthy stuff anyways so not to fussed. then staying on diet up till Christmas eve and then of for Christmas day, boxing day and the day after. I will enjoy it and not stress now, easy get back on track after and enjoy my time at Christmas :)
 
Hey guys!! I may be asking the wrong crowd since no one's weaning yet lol but when weaning do you have to cut back on how much you breastfeed? Rosie still feeds on the boob about 5 times in 24 hours (first thing, before AM nap, before PM nap, night time before bed and once in the middle of the night) and I was wondering if I should actively cut back or if she would cut back herself as she eats more solids? I'm finding this confusing as I don't know if I should increase solids so she's not too hungry for milk or cut back on milk so she's hungrier for solids??? She eats 3 meals a day with a couple of snacks thrown in as well as milk. Help!

Leanne, you don't need any special food for BFing, if you eat big hearty wholesome meals you should be alright(ish) for energy. I say ish cos you'll be shattered from lack of sleep anyway, regardless of what you eat lol! Good luck!

Fernie, if you go to the Odeon website, they do "newbie screenings" specifically for new mums and their babies. You can take your baby with you and breastfeed and everything! The lights are a bit brighter and movie is not as loud. I went once and it was great, there was only one other mum there so it was really lovely. They don't show many movies though, only one a week I think and it could very well be a dodgy movie lol but I was so happy to be out that I didn't care what movie was on (was the new SJP movie which was pretty bad LOL!) You and Joe should go!
 
Thx honey :)

I kno when I weaned Jacob I had to feed him food then formula after to top him up.. But not sure bout breastfeeding :/ I personaly would phone your health visitor for the best advice that's what they are there for. But usualy if baby is happy with milk an food they are getting I wouldn't stress!!! Xx
