Thanks saph Lincs bed is up at the top end so it's more like bringing his feet up so he doesn't slide down. Glad DS is sleeping through Linc was but since having a cold has stopped and wakes ummm way too often 10 11 12 4 5 then 7! If he still fits in bassinet I'd go with the flow I only moved Linc cos he was too big! I'm ready for work just not for child care glad camble is better too, not good when they're sick. Linc is a shocking day sleepwer too and since he's slept better during the day he's worse at night, he still sleeps 1 morning 1 lunch 1 arvo and then an evening sleep (which I can't get him not to have, We've tried) but he wants to sleep from 5-6 then wont sleep again unless I feed him.
Kahlan I'll be doing the same so I'll be up at 5 or 6 starting in 10 days! But I'd rather be home in the arvo.
OK WHY DOES LINC STILL HAVE WIND! I'm over this I tell you, Just when I think he's ok it's back and waking him up, not that it's hurting him just waking him! OMG i can't do 4 wake ups and two feeds at night! although I do feel ok so who knows but when I'm back at work I can't sleep till 7.30am! Maybe if I get dressed for work at 4am feed and crawl back to bed!
kelly ,awsom news about july hun.
green,miss c still just plays in her food too lol more a game for her i think even spits it at mummy and daddy lol funny thing.
have a great day all.
Thanks girls, although the change in the legislation in Victoria has created masses of paperwork for me (plus the additional cost) we have to get a police check done and also a Dept Community Services check as well to make sure we have never had any protective orders issued against us. Both of these take between 2-3 weeks to get back and have to be back before any transfer can be undertaken, so lots of running around this week plus we have to do updated bloods as well. Good thing I started now so hopefully everything will be o.k by July.
So any girls in Vic who are going to try again my recommendation is to start planning a bit earlier than expected due to all the extra paperwork needed.
Green yes we have a monitor that picks up breating movement, so this makes me a little more comfortable with sleeping them on there tummies. But it still worries me at times.
Xavier slept fine in his cot and own room, he woke at 5 for his usual feed and then went back down til 7.30.
Can anyone tell me how many breastfeeds did you give at 4 months, I am doing 6 but at times it feels like I am force feeding him. We have not started him on solids. (To be honest don't really want the hassle, and he is not showing any interest anyway.) Will start at 6 months. We have some serious food intolerences

Wow only 6 Saph! DS would have still been on 10-12 but he was always a snacker (still is!). If he's happy, pooing and weeing etc then don't worry about it. I'm keen to delay solids as long as possible too - it's such a hassle. At that age they tend to lose interest a bit as they're so interested in the world around them too.
That sucks Kelly! Vic's the only place they do that, right?
DS is making up songs. Today he sang "yummy toast" (lyrics go, yummy toast, yummy toast, yummy toast, etc) whilst bobbing and swaying.
Hi all I have been MIA for a while as my internet is sooooo slow and we have been busy with our new allotment, growing tons of lovely organic veg! DS is enjoying being outdoors all the time and is alot more settled generally. Perhaps he likes the warmer weather!!
Sorry not much time for persies but will respond to a few things
Saph - I am still demand feeding DS. So I really have no idea how many feeds he has. I would say that it would always be more than 6 though. I still feed him when he is upset to settle him and I have been offering the boob alot more now it is warmer so he gets a good drink. There is absolutely no regularity to our feeding system!! I couldn't even tell you when he feeds! I am also not introducing solids until 6 months (or more specifically till I see the three signs that he is ready)
Green - DH and I are also arguing a bit more recently. I think it is pretty normal with a new baby. I remember reading somewhere that a baby arriving is like throwing a hand grenade into a happy marriage!
Smithy- congrats on your move! It sounds gorgeous!

so i hope you all have a wonderful week,thinking of you all.
Boc wow I think your DS will overtake Linc soon he's 17 weeks and 7.5kg. Well done feeding him up Having a bubba was way more $$$$$ than I ever thought put a real strain on me and that's why I"m back at work
Smithy glad DH is out of your hair, I'd go mental! if DH was with me all the time.
Saph it's so not fair we have to fight to get things done for our children I know it's worth it but super frustraighting.
Is Xavier still in his cot?
BG happy Birthday to Miss E
Janie I am hoping you get some answers. I know I had some fits when I was a baby when ever I cut a tooth really scared my parents. Thinking of you.
Yesterday when I left Linc with the neighbour who is really lovely he screamed, I didn't think babies knew who they were going till much later but he got alot better and had a good day. My first day back at work went fast and It was nice to catch up. Some good projects to keep me busy and my mind off Linc away from me.
Off to Child Care this arvo for a sleep test.
Green - good to hear that your first day at work went well. I know for me I love being busy - keeps you focused and not thinking directly all the time about your little one.
Well the new GP seems to be a lot better than the other mob. Anyhoo - we are off to see the paedeatrician this afternoon (luckily we got an appointment quickly). Hopefully he will listen to me more than the doc at emergency did. Jazzy had a better night last night with no fevers until just before she woke this morning - was great all night with temps in the 36's then woke up with a fever of 39???? What the??? I just don't understand why. But hopefully we can get some clarity on that this afternoon.
Thanks heaps for all your well wishes - it means a lot. Really sorry was hoping to do more persies, but Miss J has just awoken - so must attend to her needs.
Janie glad that something is happening and someone is listening.
Green yeap as I suspected he is fine in the cot. As he is a crappy day sleeper trying to transition him during the day was useless. He is sleeping through til between 5.30 and 7. If he wakes sort of between 5.30 and 6.30 he will feed and go back to bed until 7.30, so we are all happy campoers here.
Off to check out a new chiro, I think we have paid of the old ones morgage now and need to find a cheaper one. lol
so not impressed this morning C woke up at 5.15 only to go back to sleep at 7 when X woke up. hopfully they will all stay asleep for a while when i put X back to bed and i can get some more sleep.
glad camble is better too, not good when they're sick. Linc is a shocking day sleepwer too and since he's slept better during the day he's worse at night, he still sleeps 1 morning 1 lunch 1 arvo and then an evening sleep (which I can't get him not to have, We've tried) but he wants to sleep from 5-6 then wont sleep again unless I feed him.
