For those of you that have outside babies.... what size is your LO wearing? 2.5 weeks old and still in newborn. She is just over 7.5 pounds so I anticipate she will be in newborn for a few more weeks at least!

It is my first day solo with all three kids. I ran upstairs to start a load of laundry and came down to my older two "giving the baby medicine" and vitamin D drops everywhere 🤦🤦 FML My toddler is constantly trying to pour the D drops on my boobs. I try to keep them out of his reach but then I forget to use them.

Also, hi! DD and MH are off at the daddy /daughter dance at the Y! I'm using the time to declutter a bit and decorate the nursery. There's plenty to add and make but it's getting there! It feels like a different room which was my main goal. I could probably relax instead but.. There's so much to do! I'm basically just preparing myself to be pregnant to 41w again. This way I'm not let down despite being super uncomfortable all the time.

How long do you try and burp your baby before you give up? DS usually has one or two big burps so I wait until I get those and then we quit.

For those of you that have outside babies.... what size is your LO wearing? DS is almost one month & fits pretty well in 0-3. I think he will be in 3-6 here in a few weeks, especially when we switch to our cloth diapers which is hopefully in the next week or two! He has been wearing 0-3 since he was like 3 days old though haha.

We spent the night in the ER last night...it was pretty horrible. Everything is OK and now we are just praying we didn't catch anything there.
Basically, baby V kept vomiting yucky stuff yesterday and the ped was concerned and wanted us to get further evaluation. But then, the docs there tested her for dehydration and wanted to keep us overnight...but my milk was just coming in yesterday evening so then the ped we talked to at the ER decided it was better just to send us home to nurse in comfort. Our regular ped was originally concerned about pyloric stenosis (sp?) which I knew about from this forum, who needed the surgery lately? (whose baby I mean, of course) In a nutshell, I forgot my peri bottle and my lanolin. That pretty much sums up the time we were there. It was an hour away to the pediatric ER so no sending DH home to get anything. We left our house yesterday around 7:30pm and got back today around noon. I'm tired of sleeping in hospital beds and I hope we are home to stay.
BTW...we think it was just still loads of amniotic fluid she was puking up. My milk is flowing fine, it seems. I set up the pump after the first feeding after we got home and I got about 3 oz in 15 minutes so I'm not worried about my milk. I don't plan on pumping like that all the time. DH thought I pumped 3 oz of colostrum because it was so yellow....he just asked me tonight when my milk would come in. I was like uh...did you see the bottle in the fridge? He was super surprised at the color. ETA: I guess it is sort of colostrum/milk mixed together right? But it's def not just straight colostrum what I pumped!

easternshoregirl I’m so sorry you had to go to the ER this newly pp! I think my baby experienced something similar in the hospital. She came so fast, they almost put a tube to her stomach but didn’t and she had huge mucousy pukes and then mucous + colostrum in the hospital. Most nurses and doctors were calm about it, we see this... it happens especially w fast births, but one time when an OB from my practice (that didn’t deliver my baby) was checking my stitches my baby had a huge scary puke and that OB panicked. All this to say I got different opinions and didn’t know what to think. The pedi that sees my boys and did the last hospital visit for my baby before we were discharged me assured me it was normal. I was supposed to keep a close eye on her until it stopped and she said we could sleep her elevated which is why she sleeps in the swing. These episodes abruptly stopped. It may be something different entirely. Keep a watchful Eye/ear but it really may be ok.

My baby was small, 6 lbs 8ozs so newborn clothes and diapers over here.
When I say clothes I really mean sleepers bc that is all this baby is wearing. I like that hand covers to protect her from her talons. I did have her airing out today and I noticed something I wanted to ask here.
Is it normal for baby to ball up their fists? I don’t know what I’m asking really and she’s my third kid so I should know but it was like she had RA or something. Her fists were so clenched and I realized she was often in hand covers and I got worried.

7lbs2oz at birth, probably close to 9 pounds now at 4 weeks. Mostly 0-3 month stuff even though it’s a bit big. Newborn is better width wise, but the limbs are too short, especially if I’m trying to use the hand covers. For the re it’s the cat & jack sleepers from Target that zip from the top down seem slightly longer than Carters newborn without being too wide. 👍🏻👍🏻

The boys aren’t really a good comparison if you look at their actual age (3 months) but they’re ~3 weeks adjusted. Fitting quite well in newborn clothes. I’m guessing a week or two more. Z is 8 pounds and J is about 7. They’re tall and skinny so it’s length that is the problem

C is firmly in newborn clothes and I think he’ll be in them several more weeks. He is 8 days old and was 7lbs 7oz, 20” at birth.

Even after my milk came in it was still pretty yellow for a week or two. rebeccabunch permafist over here too. I had to get some fuzz out from in between L fingers. Lol

My little guy was 7lbs at birth, not sure what he is now, just over 3 weeks. He’s still in newborn clothes and newborn diapers. I actually only have about 3 newborn outfits so really he’s wearing 0-3 months and just swimming in them lol. I was told I was having a giant baby so I didn’t buy much small stuff and it’s really not worth it now.

Baby kept making a lot of noise and threatening to wake up in the bassinet, so he’s now sleeping on my chest on the couch while I watch women’s moguls. My husband didn’t get to bed until 2am so I’m letting him sleep.

Baby boy is here and doing well. He’s 7 lbs 6 oz so over two pounds smaller than DS1 but sure didn’t feel like it at the time. I’m exhausted but I’ll update later.

Morning y’all! I feel refreshed today, DS has another good night of sleep! Unfortunately DD had another terrible night— something is bothering her at night lately so she just wakes up screaming or crying so hard that she is scared of something.
Anyway I feel refreshed and I’m snuggled on the couch with DS watching replays of the Olympic events from last night. A friend came by to pick up DD for church so we have a few hours of peace to enjoy haha.
