I saw on the CK blog that Lesley (Cherubs Kiss) and Mel (from Beetlebums)...god how I wished I lived closer. there's is also a nappy making day that cost $25......dame it now that would have been ace to have gone to when I was up on holidays

    My little man had a temp yesterday and we gave him panadol...now im gonna sit worrying that his boosters are going to be nice and GREY again like they always end up doing. I wish I could give him nurophen sometimes.

    mornin ladies
    just popping in to say that i hope Maz got some more sleep last night - i've had a couple of long hours awake each night the last couple of nights. miss E is waking cos she has pains (happens when you don't poop for ummm 6 days now) - she is very gassy as a result and just really unsettled - she's only sleeping properly when co-sleeping - which we prefer not to do as both DH and I are huge peoples! we ended up caving after two hours this morning though - slept her up between our pillows until DH got out of bed and then moved her to his side of the bed...

    Maz - i am a very light sleeper most of the time - i can hear E (she is barely feet from me in her bed) - DH is a very very heavy sleeper - given his job though, it doesn't surprise me - when he gets into a decent bed, he sleeps. I co-sleep for part of the night with E every night when i'm alone - we just don't do it so much with DH home. i think he is getting better now he's been home for a few weeks though - he wakes to her the same as i do - and he has stopped trying to snuggle me close in his sleep (it was a very unconscious thing and that's why we didn't co sleep cos bubba would have to be between us!) - he is still better if she's not in the bed with us - when she is, he tends to lay there startin in awe at her still - and then i lay there watching his fascination... at least she gets sleep lol

    WOEB - same as before - she only just got out of bed - lazy little troll!

    Maz, I leave for Melbourne town on thursday, which is cloth nappy shop day. We may drop in on the way through to the airport, but then, maybe not. There is an event up here on the 8th of november that I will be going to.

    We dont get panandol staining, I dont know why, but have used ittis on purpose, just to see if i would get marks, but, nope.... I am glad, I have seen photos, not pretty.

    If anyone is after some cheap nappies, Bambooty has 35% (i think) off for 5 days, I havent tried these but have heard good things, the fast dry ones have gussets, so good for pooplosions. Just be aware that the sizings, apparently are on the small side, so Bimboo, may be good for you with the twins, gusset nappies for 16 odd bucks...

    BBL, hungry butt naked bubs....

    anyone ever given poop an eviction notice? i'm seriously considering it! hearing my poor bubba strain as she tries to go to sleep - so sad! i know it's normal for BF babies to not go for days - but when she does goes, it's so messy! how the hell does it not come out??

    anyhoot - enough whinging - Maz, i'm sure you'll have a boot load of stuff to bring - that's what happens when you make good stuff - people wanna use it! there hasn't been a day since E left hospy that we haven't used a cover and blanket from Aunty Maz - it's just a shame she is starting to grow out of so many of the nb ones!

    WOEB - pink magicall - thinking i might have to put MAL covers over all her nappies until this explosion happens - i have a feeling it's gonna be a wee bit messy!

    BG - oh I hear you!! Susie went 8 days a couple of weeks ago and decided to go whilst I was changing her nappy. I swear I stood there for a good 10 minutes whilst she pooped I cleaned up she pooped etc etc. pretty foul smelling but she was sooo much happier after! shes still only going 1 - 2 a week but hopefully itll sort itself out soon. am guessing its just adjusting to solids! hope your lil one goes today!! just keep trying the massage and drinking pear juice yourself and hopefully that'll help!

    I've come down with the full blown cold...we were up 3 till 5:30 this morning with Susie, wind seems to get worse when she has a cold..makes sense, cant breathe, therefore more breathing through mouth when feeding! I should be sleeping atm but I cant. just relaxing. all I've done is wash and hang up nappies today lol. I'm still in my jamas too lol

    BG, sugar and water?
    I know they say it is normal for bubs both BF and FF to not do poos for days, but my kid is much happier if he poops once a day, so by the time he gets to 48 hrs, we do the sugar and water, this prob only happens once evry 6 weeks or so, but a teaspoon of brown sugar in 50 mls of water works wonders for us.
    Also, I have noticed that now that he is older and we are including water in a sippy cup in his routine, we get very regular poos, esp as solids back him up a bit.

    No real nappy news, hopefully my babyhosen will be here tomorrow.

    WOLB, about to be changed BumG into, prolly an itti

    Mrs C, have you tried one of those vicks vaporiser thingies? I have heard awesome things about them, I think they are about 50 bucks, but am guessing you will get good use of it for years. I have been meaning to get one for when lil man gets his first snotty nose.
    Also, I read and have been told by my pharmacist that the BEST thing for a cough is to rub vicks on their feet (a fair bit) and put socks over and apparently it fixes it instantly.
    A little miracle right on the soles of your feet halleluja(sp), He he, I have been waiting for someone i know to get a cough so I can try this one out....
