saph, definitely wait as long as you can. I really regret listening tothe doc and starting ash so early but it's done so i have to drop the guilt and move forward.
but cos we started so young (4mnths) we went very very slow. Farex with lots of EBM and just some basic veg.
Now he loves loves loves his food and eats so well.
thanks bg. Ash just doesn't want anything! not boobie, bottle, sippy cup. so i'm going to try not to stress so much and just go with the flow as I can't force him to drink (learnt that one the hard way).
omg he is just waking now! was put to bed at 6.45pm yesterday! woke at 8.30pm for a feed and 3am for more booby! better run ox
glad you found it helpful Green. Is your DH on SAHD duties now?
Hi Grub. I'm not one to ask about number of feeds - DS would have still been having 10 or so at 8 months, but he wasn't eating much till 12+ months. You're right you can't force things - always makes things worse So back for more in December? Exciting! Is metrformin no good when breastfeeding? Good luck with it all
Yeah, I'd delay solids as long as possible for 2 reasons - mess and nasty poos (it's part of my lazy parenting philosophy)
It's tough working two jobs BG - hope you get a little time for yourself and recharging.
We're good. DS tells me he has a baby in his tummy too. and sometime he takes it out to give it milk.
just a quick one and it might help Grub. Have you tried spoon feeding Ash water? You know that Jazzy never took to anything other than boob for drink feeds so that applies to water too, so I have been spoon feeding her all along, especially with meals between mouthfuls and she loves water so much. Even when not drinking to swallow, she loves the feel of water in her mouth as she is not a dribbler, even with teething so it must just be novel and gets her blowing raspberries and vocalising. bathtime is just a giant water drinking frenzy, so i don't know why I bother boiling what I feed her. A bloke on the plane saw me spooning water to her and said I'd given him the idea to try on his son.
thanks murph. we have done it a couple of times. sometimes it works other times it's all down his front. but might try it again tonight he actaully seemed a little intereseted in the sippy cup today while visitning friends and has taken a coupel of feeds during the day today. so who knows! but he hasn't slept well! so he'll either eat well or sleep well lol. not both at once. pft
Wow it seems everyone has found some spare time recently to get back on line. This is my first chance as Tara is already in bed and DH is working until 7pm tonight so a little window of free time.
It wonderful to hear how everyone has grown so much and all the new adventures everyone is embarking on. Murph I have my FX for you that Medibank can get their act together and Jazzy can get her implants ASAP.
Sorry for no extra persies but things have been hectic recently and I seem to loose track of what is happening with everyone but trust me I think of you all.
Well I was supposed to be mid cycle for an FET but as my FS decided to change things up a little this time around (as he has been getting better results) of course my body has decided to not respond at all and after running around like crazy having scans every couple of days, which is a logistical nightmare with a baby in tow, my cycle has now been cancelled and I'm back on provera from tomorrow to hopefully get AF in the next couple of weeks so we can go back to the previous protocol which we know works as Tara is the proof. Ah, such a headache as we are planning on going away for a week and a half in August so now we have to juggle a transfer hopefully end of July with planning when I need to be back home for BT's etc.
Apart from this issue everything is going well with Tara. She is an absolute joy and is so funny now with her little personality starting to show itself. She is such an attention seeker and is happy for anybody - even strangers - to pay her heaps of attention and if people ignore her she screams at them and bangs on anything to make a noise to get the attention to her. But the thing I love hearing best is when people are always telling me how gorgeous she is especially when she gives you a big toothy grin. Oh, and we have also started to wave, today at Mothers Group she was waving at all the other mum's (mainly because when she did they paid her attention) and then smiling and laughing as she is so clever. As you can tell I'm such a proud mummy of a very cheeky little girl, fingers crossed we have one more just like her waiting for us on ice.
Anyway, better be off as DH will be home soon. Take care everyone.
no persies here either. just a big sooky whinge!
i'm TIRED. E isn't sleeping - she is sick and it's not good here - so tired!
i think E has had a reaction to the needles she had on friday - either that, or the toys she was playing with at the doctors - she is so quick i just couldn't stop her. she has the snots big time. pretty sure, from her cries, she has a sore throat too. i feel awful for her. she is just so unwell. i want her to be ok - i HATE seeing my baby so unwell. i was in tears with her last night - there is only so much i can do and she is waking EVERY sleep cycle. tonight i'm going to experiment with her using me as a matress and see how we go - she might actually sleep (one can hope).
Damn, too bad about the setback with your cycle Kelly. Hope the next one works like a charm!
BG. I hate it when they're so sick like that. DS has to cling to me the whole when he's really unwell - it's the only way to get any rest.
Hopefully she'll sleep better on you and you are also able to get some rest.

Oh smithy i know what it is like to live in pain. I am still struggling with my pelvis from being pregnant. Am starting a new treatment in a couple of weeks that involves needles into the back of my pelvis. Just looked at you photo we have the same walker. Xavier loves his.
Well we have started X on solids and he is loving it. Started him earlier then Campbell on doctors request. So cant be bothered with the hassle but he cant stay a baby forever so onward we march.
Gotta go busy busy here and Campbell is about to walk inside with his muddy boots on. AARRGGHH
