Babies Born August 1-15th 2008 #2

LOL @ the baby talk Vic!! I have been known to do it occasionally (to my own babies and only when they've been upset!) ... it reminded me of that ad a few years ago (can't remember what for) where the woman is home with the baby all day and ends up speaking baby talk to adults!! (Daddy home from worky jerky) I used to PMSL all the time when that ad came on!!!

ROFL I remember that add!!

Vic, big for you, we're here to support you. One thing I was told when preg with #1 was to listen to all the advice, take what you want/need out of it and disregard the rest.

Thanks heaps, I would be lost without all of you, what a great sounding board you ae!!

I'm glad my DP doesn't think his mother's word is gospel (but then again, I already had 2 kids when we met!!) She does however, try to tell me stuff, about how hard it is to bring kids up (but she only had one and has literally worked all his life, leaving their neighbour to bring him up when he was little), and she's forever asking me how I'm doing, how I'm feeling, can she take the kids, can she come up here more ..... (and both DP and myself are very quick to answer NO!)

I wish he didn't think so.... he has tried some of the things she has mentioned and said, well that didn't work for me!!!

Maybe Nakita's more frequent feeds will pile some more weight on her!

Hope so!!

Thanks MM, I am just over it, it sounds like you MIL is very similar, seriously if she asks me again how I am feeling I am gonna scream She is coming down this weekend and wants to look after N so I can do some work, that doesn't bother me, but I will ask her to take her for a walk as I can't stand the gooing and gahing, last time she was here to help, it drove me batty, so at least if I send her out with N in the pram I don't have to listen!!! Hmm I should give her some books to read to her as well

I will get more work done as well!

I think we need to invest in T-Shirts that say, "Thanks for your comments, I hear what you are saying, but I am doing this my way, you may not like it, but it is my child!"

Must run and eat before little miss awakes!!! 3 hours exactly!!!!

Or you could get a T-shirt like my dad has that says: "Let's just pretend I give a sh*t and leave it at that"

The Pixie!!!! That is Priceless!!!

MT Hun, I wouldn't worry at all!!! We have given N a bottle of EBM at least once a day for months now!!! I think it is great that Jett will take both, we had a mum in mothers group where he little girl will ONLY take the boob, and she is 4 months old, no matter what she does bubs won't take a bottle of EBM, and she is really upset by it. I don't think it matters, Jett loves his boob and is more than happy to take the boob or bottle so go for it. I think they say to avoid it and dummies early as there is "nipple confusion" but in the end if Jett is happy with it all and it isn't affecting your supply - which is isn't as you have too much then why not!! Hey if he is on all BM it doesn't matter at all

Just popping my ugly mug in here to say g'day while I DON'T have a baby in my arms, and while I DON'T have a stinky, whingy, whiney toddler boy at my feet (he grabs my yucky spongey gut - you know the c-section gut you get from the cut muscles -and it ANNOYS ME...)

Anyhoo - for all that are having issues

Words of wisdom from me - tell everyone who is annoying you, telling you to do stuff a certain way, getting into your stuff without asking....

F*CK off...

Simple...

Pixie- I LOVE IT!!!!!

MT& Vic- eveyone likes to have their opinion and say things without thinking how it may affect you. I received dirty looks from women when I was in a parents room feeding Allegra EBM all that should matter is that the baby is being fed and is healthy

Vic- I have to admit I have never had anyone (yet) talk baby talk to her but when people talk to her like she knows what they are saying she either frowns or raises an eye brow as if to say I can't understand you fool. Hows your house going?

MM- gosh I have never had anyone do that but I can imagine how annoying it would be. You're so lucky he put himself to sleep, but wow what a great night you had i'm so jealous.

Kiwigirl- you're so lucky to be getting the little baby chat and lots of smiles.


Hello to every one

well by the sounds of it Allegras eyes may stay blue she's going to be a blondy (she has the same colour hair that cadence had at this age) and have blue eyes haha poor daddy
both Df and I have brown eyes but we both have blue eyed relatives.
Has anyone had days where bub wont sleep and wont let you put them down? I have Allegra in one of those baby pouch things thts the only way she'll be quiet today she's been up since 9 this morning!

hello mel I love your location

AGAIN!!!

I have been laughing so hard at the things you all are coming up with that it hurts!!!!

Kel - I have blue eyes and my DP and my ex both have brown eyes, DS1 has brown eyes (although they were the deepest blue for like 12 months!!) DD has blue eyes, but they are starting to speckle with green and brown (at 4.5!!) - very interesting! DS2 has green eyes, and atm DS3 has the steely blue (like i mentioned) and I would LOVE for them to stay that colour!

MT - If Jett takes a bottle, that is awesome, especially if it gives you a break and DH some bonding time with him!! My lot have all been useless and would ONLY go the boob! DS2 reluctantly took a bottle from about 3 months onwards, but for most of the time I have always been home with the kids anyway, so there has really been no need for my lot to take a bottle (although it would make life easier sometimes!!) And seriously, I can't see the problem with it anyway! (taking both that is!)

I was thinking about breastfeeding as a contraceptive method the other night and realised how it doesn't work for me - ever since Veygas was in hospital and had to fast ... the concept is that you are meant to exclusively bf every four hours (or less, but not have longer gaps) ... might jump into another forum and see if it has worked for anyone who has tried it (I know my chances are stuffed now, especially after his 9 hour stint of sleep last night!! ) NOT that we have time to DTD anyway!

Did you all watch the news they reckon that 1 mouth full of baby oil is very harmful ALL brand to babies and toddlers. and in the states they have a safety caps on them. There has even been deaths as a result of children and babies swallowing more than 1 mouthful
