Re: Moms of NBs (March, April, May babies)....

How old are your babies now?

7 weeks tomorrow!


HOw big are they?

J - 6lbs 8oz
K - 5lbs
(as of last Friday)

How are they sleeping?

Can't quite complain at night. They usually go down around 7ish and will sleep 6-7 hours. Wake up, change diaper, eat, and then back down for another 3-4 hours.

What is your "schedule" like (how often do they eat, how often do the wake at night, etc)

no real schedule. i guess during the day they are eating ever 1.5 - 2 hours

Are you BF or FF?
EBF

How are YOU doing?

Better than I thought I'd be doing, that's for sure. The twins are hard, and DS is even harder. But since I have been able to get out of the house I feel semi sane again.

Re: Moms of NBs (March, April, May babies)....

How old are your babies now: 7 weeks on Wednesday

HOw big are they: at 1 month checkup he was 10lbs 6oz and 22 inches long

How are they sleeping: He started sleeping longer stretches, but then last week he changed things up on us and sometimes he fights sleep and other times he will sleep 3-4hour stretches, sometimes 5 hours.

What is your "schedule" like (how often do they eat, how often do the wake at night, etc): Eats pretty much every 3-4 hours, sometimes 5 but other than that no real schedule yet. He is also colicky so its hard to keep to a schedule some days

Are you BF or FF? FF

How are YOU doing? Eh exhausted

Re: Moms of NBs (March, April, May babies)....

DS will be 10 weeks ol on Thirsday Chat Icon where did the time go?? Our schedule during the day is kinda out of whack since he only takes brief cat naps but I try to keep him on an every 3 hour feeding schedule. He's BF exclusively. We always take an hour to and hour and a half long walk otherwise he's very fussy in the afteroon and its the only way to get him to sleep a good stretch during the day since he's out like a light as soon as he hits the stroller. He's pretty fussy still during the day, I can't really do much but hold him or at Lear be near him while he's in the bouncy or playmat. At night he's an angle though. Goes out between 9-10 and sleeps till around 6. After that it's hit or miss he either falls asleep on his pen till around 9 or we cuddle in bed together. I just can't get myself out of bed till 9 so I do what I have to do. But him sleeping on me is the best part of my day, he's just so precious!!
Had our two moth apt yesterday. He's 13.10 lbs and 23" so a pretty big little man Chat Icon
I'm prob not going back to work unroll at least September thank god cu I can't even think about having to leave him yet...

How old are your babies now? veronica is 10 weeks old today

How big are they? At her 2 month appointment she weighed 12lbs 9 oz and 22.5"

How are they sleeping? She was sleeping about 6 hours a night, usually midnight to 6, with lots of 2-3 hr naps during the day. These past two days she has been falling asleep around 8, up at midnight to eat and get changed and then asleep until 5-6

What is your "schedule" like (how often do they eat, how often do the wake at night, etc) We don't really have a schedule, she is still eating on demand and sleeping whenever she likes.

Are you BF or FF? EBF

How are YOU doing? Doing good. Finally starting to feel like myself again. Loving being at home and being a mom.

We should plan a gtg sometime in the summer. It would be nice to meet some moms, especially ones with children the same age.

How old are your babies now?

DS is exactly 2weeks today

HOw big are they?

He was 9.2 at his last appt on thursday, according to my scale at home he is 9.5

How are they sleeping?

He barely sleeps at all. This has been a real challenge. We are really luck if we get 2-2.5 hrs at a time. If I hold him while he sleeps, he will sleep up to 3.


What is your "schedule" like (how often do they eat, how often do the wake at night, etc)

He eats about every 2-3 hrs, then wakes up, eats, usually falls back to sleep and repeat above.

Are you BF or FF?

BF


How are YOU doing? My CS recovery has been really easy, and I am physically feeling great. I wish I didn't still look pregnant, but I guess that will go away eventually. I am extremely tired because DS does not sleep, and I rarely get more than 30mins-1hr of sleep at a time.

How old are your babies now?
Ollie is 12 weeks old today (correct age is only 3 weeks though)

How big are they?
He was 8lbs 9ozs at his NICU follow up today!

How are they sleeping?
He still wants to eat every 3 hours...every once in a while he will go 4 hours, but it's rare.

Are you BF or FF? I'm EP.

How are YOU doing? O.K. so far. Went back to work part time a few weeks ago and dreading going back full time. Still feels pretty exhausted most of the time. I'm hoping he'll start sleeping more soon so I can catch up on some rest

Glad to hear that you are all doing well and adjusting to motherhood Chat Icon

How old are your babies now? Peyton is almost 5 weeks

How big are they? At her 1m appt today she was weighing in at 8lb 11oz, 20.25 in

How are they sleeping? ugh some nights are better than others but not too great. last night she gave me 2- 4hour sessions. Which was an improvement from the night before. but generally shes still waking up every 2.5-3hrs. plus she has reflux so sometimes its hard for her to settle down

What is your "schedule" like (how often do they eat, how often do the wake at night, etc) Peyton is an eating machine! she takes 4-5oz every 3 hrs but sometimes she'll want more after only 2hrs. I feel like all i do is feed her!

Are you BF or FF? FF

How are YOU doing? i'm doing ok. So completely exhausted but otherwise good. Chasing after a toddler and tending to a newborn is tough lol but we're slowly developing a schedule.
I also joined WW. i'm on my way to a 30lb weight loss!

My little man will be 3 weeks on wednesday!

He was 8lbs 13 oz last week.

He's still up like every 3-4 hours at night but will usually give me 1 good 5-6 hour stretch.


He's eating around every 3-4 hours.

I am BF him, but he does get 1 bottle of formula that I'm working to cut out. He had to be supplemented with formula in the hospital cause he was on antibiotics in the NICU that could have damaged his kidneys if he wasn't hydrated enough. We found out today that he has a milk protein allergy too.

I'm doing well... Still recovering from my crash c-section, and adjusting to life with 3 kids, and now changing my diet to be dairy and soy free. I'm loving every second of my little guy! He's so sweet! I live being a mommy to my, and would love more someday!



We have birthday twins!




Yeah for birthday twins!!! May 4th is a great day!!!

How old are your babies now?
Hannah is 3.5 weeks

How big are they?
She was 8.8 at her 3 weeks visit

How are they sleeping?
Everynight is different. She likes to sleep in the boppy on one of us and that is not really conducive to gtting much sleep. Some nights I am up ALL night, but other nights she sleeps a good 4 or 5 hour stretch

What is your "schedule" like (how often do they eat, how often do the wake at night, etc)
Abut every 3 hours give or take. She will sometimes go 4. She is eating 3-4 ounces.

Are you BF or FF? FF (I BF her for a week but stopped)

How are YOU doing?
Physically... great. I lost all my pg weight and then some within a week of being home.
Emotionally... had a TOUGH TOUGH time the first week home. I was recovering from a very rough labor and csec and exhausted, trying to BF and deal with having 2. It has gotten better and better each day since then.

Getting out of the house helps a TON and this week sucked bc of the rain.

8 weeks yesterday

HOw big are they?
at his 1 mo he was 21.5 inches - I KNOW he;s al onger now!! He is 8lbs 15oz... he has gained 3oz over birthweight after losing for 6 weeks or so.

OK. I can finally let him sleep as long as he wants w/o waking him so longer stretches are just beginning. His naps are short, 45 mins max usually.

What is your "schedule" like (how often do they eat, how often do the wake at night, etc)

Bf, with 4 4oz formula bottles a day to supplement. He seem always hungry no matter what! He just likes to suck. He mostly still sleeps and eats and gives lots of big smiles!!! Gets up at 2 a.m. for feeding then around 6 a.m. too.

How are YOU doing?
Better than I was lol He's getting better w/his issues so he is happier so mom is happier too! Still needing more sleep lol
