rhyb - at 7 months you wouldn't really be expecting them to sit or crawl at that age. Each baby develops differently. If you're worried, get a full check up with a trusted gp. If you don't have a trusted gp, I'm happy to recommend mine. He's fantastic. As for speaking, Emily only says 'dada', and that's perfectly fine.
Are you free this week? Pop around if you like so he can have some friends to play with
Yeah sounds good Jodi. I took him to a GP and he said DS isnt developing as he has no interaction with other littlies and I should be taking him to playgroup but im shyHe does weird things like he was playing in his room while I was hanging out clothes and I could hear him making weird noises on the monitor so I went inside to check on him and he was under his bed. God only knows how
So far all Ive seen is him get on his knees so I cant really figure it out

Rhyb Jaidan didn't crawl properly until he was 11 months old. He used to scoot on his butt from about 7 months. Chase on the other hand was crawling before 5 months lol they really are ALL so different! I wouldn't be too worried about it right now, it is too early for that!
Nappy news, well I got a lovely email today to say my nappies are getting posted monday! So I will have 2 more Wild Child Bling nappies to add to my 4 I already have lol

Rhyb - I wouldnt worry about DS not sitting or crawling, every kid has their own time frame for milestones! My eldest is a whiz kid, was crawling and cruising at 6mths and walking at 10mths full time, had an extensive vocab by one blah blah blah but Ripley, totally different story! He didnt crawl til 8.5mths (he went from commando to knee crawling pretty quickly though) and really surprised us by walking at 11mths, I honestly expected it to be more like 14mths! He's such a chilled out dude and likes doing things in his own time, he obviously just wanted to do it when he felt like it and once he made the decision to its was all systems go from there. Aiden may very well be the same, he'll be slow to take it up but once he does it'll be a split second change and he'll be off and running (or crawling in your case). I thought the reason behind Jetts eagerness to do everything early was being in childcare one day a week but Ripley has had his big brothers leadership in things like that and STILL took his sweet time so blows the learn off other kids theory out of the water. Same goes for speech (although I do think it helped Jett some in that department). Playgroup is always a good thing for kids though, there is only so much us mums can give them and other kids tend to be what they are looking for at times. If we were in Cairns Id offer my boys as playmate's
Poo on your xp's mother too, silly woman, whats wrong with pre-loved goods as long as their clean and in good nick? I own a few little op-shop gems that I love to wear! I consider it being $$ concious which isnt a bad thing at all.

oh I love op shopping for everything! Ashtons clothes, my clothes, the boys clothes, material, wool! You can find some great things!
I got awesome books for under $2 each (including mem fox and the whos feet/ears etc series), osh kosh/PP/fred bare clothes and even a nice warm winter coat for myself for $5! I really love it!

My boys have some lovely baby clothes I scrounged up in op shops and people comment on how cute they are and ask where I got them from. I always love the look on their face when I saw 'Oh the Salvo's op shop!" Dh's fave going out shirt was found on one of my op-ping trips, practically brand new and a brand name to boot!
Yeah Im not bothered too much just thought what a stupid thing to care about reallyIm trying to focus on the fact that DS is clothed, fed and most of all loved and they can stick their opinions lol I love b4b so why should I justify it to them??

On the nappy front, I got my replacement itti bitti last week. The old one started falling apart, so Sue was kind enough to replace it. The 6 month warranty on it was up the week I sent the email. Good timing.
Registered User
oh Mel I am happy you were successful lol too bad about the rain! I would die without my drier!! Funny thing is that I never had one before Ashton was born lol and I don't use it all the time, very rarely actually, but i couldn't imagine not having it anymore!!
I hope everyone is well! I have my Tafe course today, Business cert 1, just something to pass the time. So excited about getting out and doing something! Going to take a big deep breath and leave Ashton in the child care that is provided.... it's a great CC and he is only 2 minutes away from me in the other end of the building, but still!! Last time I put him in the cot to sleep and picked him back up when he woke lol

Okay, quick question....
Maz covers. Will they fit good over BBB and BBH or should I stay with the ones that they came with? Also, have 1 box of newborn sposies (just till i get the whole baby wrangling thing sorted) so I have started off my mcn stash with mainly smalls. Will Maz smalls fit over what I have or do i go bigger. Prob have more to say, but have morning brain
Registered User
shell - I only use Maz's covers over my bbh stash. So yeah, they'll fit. What size did you get in the covers? If you're boosting the bbh up you made need the next size up in the cover.
Registered User
Ta Jodi.
I havent got any Maz covers yet, am waiting till thurs. Am kind of in dillema land as the BBH and BBB ones hat I have are the OSFM type that seem to be the workhorse for most of you guys. (thats why I got em
But even when fold em down and make them on the smallest fitting, I wonder how they will fit on a newborn. (they still look pretty big to me)
And I didnt want to go out and buy a bunch of newborns and be overwhelmed by the whole business and not use em (and allow DP to say I told you so...
So I only have 4 babybehhinds covers, 2 pul and 2 wool all in small. I am kinda thinking that it may take a month to get into mcns so am not sure how much boosting I will be doing. What do you recon?
Dp also really likes the animal prints so I want some of those to appease him. Also, does anyone do a cammo print cover or nappy and i really want a cheetah print too. For some strangely disturbing reason, Adam wants the kid dressed barney rubble style....

yep maz' covers are great over bbh/bbb...i don't really like using the PUL covers any more...they seem to be just sitting there now....
i now need to get my hands on a white/ivory nappy...for Jacks Baptism.....

In the early days with Emily I only used one booster, not both, with my bbh. She was in a small cover for a couple of weeks, but grew too quickly. It's not really until they get older, wee more, and possibly sleep through the night that you need to boost heavily.
They do look bulky, but they will fit. Depending on the size of your bub, you might find in the first couple of weeks he might be too small for them, but as you're using sposies in the first couple of weeks, you should be alright.

Cool then, maybe will just get 2 smalls and see how long they fit for.
I agree with you on the PUL I got em before I "discovered" minkee...
Thanx Kitt3n, will go have a look.
Also do I have to pre register on the maz site to go shopping?
