Melissa I found Lily didn't really like the things you mentioned and then tried her on some weetbix with formula and a little pureed pear to sweeten it. She loves it, it's the only thing she'll eat properly, so maybe you could give that a go?

Thanks Kellie, I will try that. Do you use normal weetbix or the kids weetbix?
Normal, I didn't know that there was a kids one?? Maybe I'll buy that one next time...
Hi!
Melissa - Yeah on finding a dress! Thats great your sister visited! Hmm maybe she's not too hungry at brekky! Thats great she's enjoying dinner though - I mix all my veggies together so it's not to boring a taste - last night Dylan had pumpkin, sweet potato, carrot and broccoli or mushed into 1! hehe. Don't stress too much about the kids weetbix - it's not really that different. Slightly lower salt I think and thats about it....and I think they charge more for that! LOL!
I'm thinking I might start Dylan on a bit of lunch today as well. he's loving his solids...I didnt' feed him until 4.30am this morning - woohoo - thats the longest he's gone ever (after a 7pm feed...) Although he was waking up regularly. I really should let him cry a bit longer though I think because he cried out at 4am and by the time I got in there he'd put himself back to sleep...probably found his dummy himself!
Speaking of brekky...better go!
HI Guys!
Back from mums - which was not so relaxing but more work than I anticipated - moving her whole house around and painting and looking after the bubba! I had to come home for a rest!
Anyway have had a quick read but will do posts later just wanted to say hi!
xxx
Ok so she isn't smaller than most. her Dr made it sound as if she was way behind. Pffffft!!! AND yay I (with help from steve) figured out how to resize Phoebe's photos. So everyone meet my little one :)
Kris-Good luck with Dylans and his solids. I have fun with Phoebe's now lol I love the faces she pulls with the new flavours.
Kel- OOOH we are so close, they are there, they just keep going back down but I dont think it will be long before they are through.
Mel- She has her daddy's appetite lol
Jen- Hope you get some RnR soon
Wow, Hi guys...haven't been on lately - things have been a bit out of control. PIL stayed for a week, since I don't get along with MIL (AT ALL) that was a testing time. Needless to say, DH & I have been at each other since & there have been some tears!! I'm not really enjoying it where we live at the moment & we are both starting to re-think the move?? more tears!! Ahhhh think I've just been a bit down all together so have been checking the posts but haven't really taken the time to say hello.
So HELLO everyone, hope you are all well.
Charlie was teething the past week & out of the window went his almost sleeping through. He refused to drink anything & was waking every hour - oh it was a nightmare. We were not sure if it was teeth, but then I took a little look in his mouth & can clearly see the 2 lumps & white line & can feel them. But I'm told they could still take for ever to cut through....ahhhhh more sleepless nights.
We have just started solids, was going well but now he just wants to blow raspberries each time & wont keep it down & is making a hell of a mess - so I'm tearing my hair out with that. Wow can we give them weetbix now? gosh I really need to look into this more. He hates the rice cereal & really want to find something other than jar stuff for Brekky (ATM it's brunch), only on 1 meal a day. He loves avacado, that's been a real hit. I've been told to keep away from peas as they five bad gas?? is that true??
Charlie has come leaps & bounds in the past couple weeks. Rolling all over the place, sitting up & just showing so much more interest in toys etc...it's very cute. He even rolled around in the cot the other night & was facing sideways with his feet hanging out (have posted pic) cute.
I look forward to the up dates on solids as i have no idea. Think I'll do some more reading.
Ok, got to go & have some tea - DH is on nights again, lonely, lonely!!!
Hi!
Had a great weekend - had a tBS launch yesterday and took Dylan and he was soooo good! I can't believe it! We were there all day and although he didn't sleep much he was so well behaved. He got passed around and loved all the attention as well which was cute! We had a nice day at home today as well but went out and did some shopping so the poor kids are exhausted! Will have to have a chill out day with good sleeps tomorrow! Luckily I got a sleep in this morning and had a nanna nap this arvo - Haven't had so much sleep in ages!!!
Jen - Bugger you didn't get much rest - hope you spend some time at home chilling out.
Tiffanny - She's just gorgeous!! Looks very happy and healthy!!
Erin - Sorry to hear you've been having a rough time! It's hard when everything seems to happen at once...I hope Charlie's teeth come through and your MIL buggers off! hehehe.
Just take it easy with solids - if he was super hungry I'm sure he'd eat! Thats great he likes avocado though. Hmm - I didn't start Louis on weetbix until around 7-8 months I think...
How cute that he wiggled around in his cot!! I'll have to have a look at the photo!
K - better tidy up and get organised for some sleep!
Hey all,
We had a super busy weekend and this morning I have cleaned the house. I am ready for a nanna nap!!!! Olivia is great, shes having 2 meals a day now, although still isnt great on breakfast. I just need to go to the shop and get some pears and apples. She loves vegies at night. All I can say is her poo stinks and it is much harder. I can now smell it wofting into our room of a morning!!!! We start swimming lessons tomorrow, which I think I am looking forward to. I realy havent been back in the water much since I was 34 weeks pregnant. I am still on my weight loss thing and have lost almost 3kgs in 2 weeks...put a little back on over the weekend!
Well, hope everyone is well. Got to go clean toilets....yuck!
Take care
Love Melissa
Hi!
Wow it's quiet in here! It's Louis' b'day today - I can't believe my little monkey is 2!!! He got a bike and some other toys and had a fun day!
Dylans well...his eczema has flared up a bit..I think it's from trying to eat everything though and knocking it iykwim? He's otherwise well though...still waking 2 hourly for his dummy but I'm not in the frame of mind to try and take it off him yet! He's feeding around 2.30am in the morning again - I really don't think it's hunger - more comfort for some really annoying reason! hehe. Oh well...can't last forever.
The cheeky boy has starting getting himself on all 4's and rocking a bit so I really think I'm going to have a crawler in the next month or so! Very scary! hehe.
Melissa - Oh my gosh - my house so needs a clean!! I got as far as cleaning the bathroom today so hopefully I'll get the rest done tomorrow! hehe. LOL - aren't solid poos nice!! hehe. It tried Louis out in nappies today to see how he'd go but he's not ready yet - bugger! I'm so looking forward to just having 1 in nappies again!
How did the swimming lessons go?
Well done on the weight loss! Thats fantastic!
Hey Kristie...Happy 2nd Birthday Louis. It sounds as though Dylan will be moving around on all 4's very soon. Olivia is now rolling both ways and she puts her knees under her belly and tries to move along, but shes not too strong in the upper body, so she gets all frustrated.
Got some pears and she gobbled them all down this morning. And I tried her with broccoli, but that wasnt a hit, we'll see how it goes tomorrow night!
Swimming was great fun, she was almost asleep at the end of the lesson, slept all the way home and slept for a few hours in the afternoon. Its really exhausting for them, they dont stop moving for the whole half hour. Am looking forward to next week:)
Hope everyone is well,
Love Melissa
Hi!
Ooh Melissa - I forgot about how tired they get - hehe! Maybe I should enrol Dylan sooner! hehe. Have you tried her on Pumpkin? My boys have always loved it - then I just mix broccoli and other veggies with it and it seems to mask the taste a bit more.
Sounds like Olivias doing well with her moving though!
LOL, absolutely gets them sleeping for the whole day! Olivia is starting to go to sleep earlier, albeit half and hour. Last night she slept from 8pm til 530am (yay), fed and is still sleeping at 820am.....I cant believe my luck!
I mixed the broccoli with sweet potato, I dont think I cooked the broccoli enough... was a bit too lumpy. I think its all trial and error though! Pumpkin was a hit too.
Are you still giving a bottle/boob before solids????
Well, bubs is pooing lol and blowing raspberries.
Hope you are all well
Love Melissa
Hi!
hellooooooo???? Where is everyone? I can't believe the thread was off the page! LOL!
All is good here! Dylan went from 7pm-4.45am without a feed last night - woohoo - the longest ever - although he still woke for his dummy about 50 times!!! hehe.
I'm busy getting Christmas catalogues out to everyone! I'm so excited - Doing the body shop at home is sooo much fun -heaps better than I expected!!
Melissa - Wow - what a sleep in! Dylan's normally up at 7am every morning! LOL at the hard broccoli - I just put it all in together and let it boil away for ages...I don't put much water in though so that I don't have to drain all the goodness away iykwim?
Yep - I think you give milk first until about 9 months old if I remember right...but I give the solids about an hour or so after the milk so there's room!
Chat later!
HI girls,
well I have been going through our old belly and baby buddies threads and making up a kind of journal for Lily when she grows up. And also for me to remember...ahhh all this reminiscing is making me clucky, hehehe!! DH would die if he knew I wanted another bub already ;). I think it would be great to have something like this for when I had Lily and knew about the hard times my mum went through when she had me. I think it would be so reassuring that you are doing the right thing.
Lily had a good night sleep too. She slept from 7-1, up for a feed then slept til 5 when I gave her her dummy and slept til 7...wooohooo!!!! I'm happy with any day we're not up at 5am :)
She's driving me insane with her rolling. She learnt to roll fram back to tummy a few weeks ago, but can't figure out how to get from tummy to back so gets stuck and frustrated when she an't get back! Grrrr I don't know how many times a day I utrn her over! I'm trying to teach her how to do it herself, but she just doesn't get it...
We're going great guns with the solids now. She loves her applea and pears now, as well as weetbix. I have given her some zucchini and potato today and she was a bit unsure about it at first but ate it all anyway, hehe. I have also made and frozen some sweet potato and broccoli to try in the next week or so. She also loves her water from her sippee cp and is so cute to see her sucking from the spout, trying to coordinate her mouth to get it going, LOL!!
Kristie, I'm glad to hear things are going well for you :) . How are you doing with your body shop parties? I was thinking about them to do for a while...I don't know how I would go though I am kind of a quiet person and to stand up and talk in front of people...I don't know!
Erin, sorry to hear you had a bad MIL experience. I'm lucky in that my PIL live in Maryborough Qld...about 17hrs away from us. They hate sydney too, so aren't likely to visit anytime soon. We see them once a yr, or try to and they are lovely people, but I don't think I would like to have them in my home for 2wks! We had the waking-every-hour for a week or so too and then her two bottom teeth popped up. Thankfully it is over now and she seems to have gone back to her normal routine.
Melissa, I hear you on the S-T-I-N-K-Y poos, oh my goodness!!! I thought her poo stank before, but now it could kill a water buffalo!! I'd love to start swimming lessons, but it's a bit expensive for us at the moment. I will do it next yr when I go back to work. My mum has a pool too so I can do it myself a bit this yr when it gets hotter. Lucky you with Olivias sleeps, we're always up before 7am.
Ok my monkey is stuck on her belly in her cot and is calling me.....
Hi!
Kel - Good idea on the little diary...I have kept p/g and baby diaries for both the boys - It has also been really good for me to read back over what I was doing with Louis at the same times also. LOL at being clucky again - I was super clucky by now after having Louis (prob why I only have an 18m gap between my 2 - LOL!) I'm not super clucky now but I can see over the next few months as he keeps getting more interactive I will. we already have a lot more fun together now that he's getting a bit bigger which is nice. I just really can't believe how quickly the time's gone!!
LOL on the rolling! She'll get it soon I'm sure. Yeah on the food and the good sleep as well!
The Body shop parties are going really really well! It's such a good time of year to jump on board with xmas around the corner. I was a bit nervous about getting up in front of everyone but it's really not that bad - the products really do sell themselves! PM me if you want any more info!
Had a few tearies tonight...Found out dh's cousin's waters have broken and she's only 28w so we're hoping that everything is ok and also I don't know if you remember me saying about my friend but I'm going to visit them in hospital on Monday - her little bubbas been diagnosed with a rare form of epilepsy and is having lots of seizures still (around 100 a day)...
It's just so unfair sometimes - I just want to be able to make them all better and I can't...
Give those bubbas a big hug and a kiss!!! We're so very lucky to have them so healthy!
Chat later!
Hellooo!!
Optus probs thus no internet!!
How is everybody? It has been quiet so it was pretty quick to catch up!
I am buggered - DH has been in Melbourne for two weeks and i am sympathising with all you girls that have DH's on night shifts....on Wednesday night a terrace in my street was on fire and between Beau and that I got three hours sleep then had to work doing a window on a massive ladder the next day! Bless single mothers of the world!
We sound pretty sinilar to everbody else, hard stinky poos alright Mel!
Beau is on about half a heinz jar (IYKWIM) sometimes I cook his solids, sometimes I dont! He has it three times a day He loves veggies and pear and apple most, i have been getting the organic stuff, he wont stomach anything too sweet just yet tho. Do you think thats too much? He would eat the lot if I let him - he just keeps opening his little bird mouth!
Kel - I cant beleive how clucky you are! So funny, good idea on going back through our threads. Hey has anyone heard from Gigi or Disgirl?
Kris - I am thinking about doing the dummy wean....Dylan and Beau sound similar with the nightly pop ins and I am OVER IT!! I know what you are saying about the right frame of mind tho. Good you are enjoying yr job! Thats terrible about yr DHS cousin - makes me thankful for the beautiful healthy bub asleep next to me ((hugs)) to her.
Erin - you sound really low you poor thing - I hear you on the MIL deal - sometimes you think short visits would be better right? Than living far away and having yearly sporadic ones concentrated!! At least you guys are getting some debts cleared right?
Ok I want to go and get dressed and get over to the shop for some more toys...bubs is SO bored with his current selection...all he wants are remote controls and mobiles now!! Men!
xxxx
Morning All,
Not too a glorious day today in Melbourne, but I am enjoying listening to the sound of heavy rain drops on the roof.
I had another beautiful sleep last night...not rubbing it in or anything, just one dummy episode at 1am, she slept from 830 til 630...yay yay yay:) Things are going well here, so not alot to report. I love the idea of a diary, although am not too good at working out how to go back on all my threads and keeping them. Adam and I did a video starting when I was in labour, telling Olivia what happened during the pregnancy, her name etc. We got her first cries and Adam cutting the cord, her weigh in and bath. Then we have some footage of her each month. We want to give it to her on her 21st.
kristie, best wishes to your cousin, hope everything goes well. My friend had her twins at 30 weeks, they were obviously in hospital for a long time, but they are great now at 19 months. Medicine is amazing these days. I know its easy for me to say... but my thoughts are there for your cousin and your friends baby with epilespy.
Talking of being clucky, I did a pregnancy test yesterday, have been nauseous lately.... not pregnant, but wouldnt be too upset if i was. I am going of the pill in December, so we'll see how that goes...oh only 2 months away!!!!! Just dont want to be too pregnant for our wedding in April!!!lol
Well, better go, Olivia is being very vocal:)
Take care
Love Melissa
