Awww Mel, I am sure she will pick her weight back up again quickly!

Leasha - love your ticker

Thanks all for the Happy 6 months!!!

Aw Mel, I'm sure Miss M will be fine! I think the warmer weather plays a small part too ... Master V also lost weight and looks skinnier in the legs and tummy, and not quite so chubby in the face (I can also feel the difference, weight wise, when I hold him ... ) Is Miss M more active than before (like kicking, wriggling etc)?

Dunno. We've noticed that she seems to be more tired than usual, but thats probably the bug leaving her system and she's recovering.... I'm guessing...

[*Beema*]

Has she been eating the usual amount Mel? It can be a bit tricky when they start sleeping too much and not eating enough then end up not having energy to eat properly and subsequently put on weight.

A friend's bub was fully BF'd, and was sleeping through the night (this is from birth and an extreme case) and in his first six weeks didn't put on any weight, can you imagine her shock! She hadn't realised, poor girl!

But I am sure it is just her recovering, how long ago was she sick and for how long, prob will take her a while to get going again

Vic - dunno bout my status - I couldn't PM yesterday - then couldn't get on at all!! So they fiddled around with my account, and thats what worked - or somethin

And no - not eating same amount - has about 120-130ml at the moment - last week it was 30/40ml per feed - but the week before that she was knocking back about 160/180ml per feed.

We think she had a belly bug, so was off her food, had the runs and just looked like crap - couldn't get a smile out of her.

Can now though - she is normal, food intake is a little lower and still a bit tired - I'm not too worried, cept the losing weight part sucks...

Hi All. Hope everyone had a great christmas!! we had a lovely day, my first proper christmas in Aus, bit wierd but i loved every minute!

I read everything earlier but couldnt post right away and have forgoten half the stuff i was going to write....but il have a go!

about boobie bitting, not nice, sometimes i think G is going to suck my nipple clean off! but not as bad as being chomped!!

Talking about having another baby right now scares me a little, im more than happy to wait about two years, but a friend of mine got pregnant with her secong while her baby was only 6 months old! and she actually loves them being so close together, they play so well together now!!
My sister is 13 years younger than me aswell, but i was away at uni or traveling or living away from home through most her growing up, which is a shame.

IKWYM about not getting the right measurements when they are screaming, one week Gs head was 44cm the next 41cm, thought OMG her head is shrinking!!

G is now 6.55kgs!

Happy 6 months Nakita, what a mile stone!

Squidipa: sorry to hear you are feling unwell!! hope your feeling better soon!!

Mel: for M being sick. glad she is on the mend now

Well, we have been having a bit of a nightmare the last few days, SCREAMED ever time i try to put her to bed, i tried everything, feeding her to sleep, not feeding her to sleep, more sleeps, less sleeps, more covers, less covers, was at witts end, taking 30-45 mins or crying to eventually go to sleep. then a friend suggested she might be over being wrapped!! so i just put her to bed in a kinda sleeping bag thing, not a propper grow bag but same idea and she went to sleep NO PROBLEM, not a single complaint! now is fast asleep!! woohoo

Only problem is i just went in to check her and she was face down in the mattress, and i mean face down, not head on the side!! i turned her over. but im worried, if she gets in this possition in the night! she rolls alot in the night.

Oh no womder she lost hun, she must not have been feeling well only takin 30-40ml Sounds like she is on the mend though, I am sure she will pick up her weight again in no time, especially now that she is getting her intake up again

The Bear and Pixie, there are few people I know who would drive around with a frozen pig!!

Great weight Beckoes!! , glad the sleeping bag is working for you!!

Must run xx

[TheBear]

Beema - it beats walking or cycling!

[thepixie]

Mel babe try not to worry about it too much, just keep an eye on her weight for a week or two to make sure she is gaining again.
Well, we have another bear-brained scheme in full force here.... it involves a whole frozen pig named Paris. I'm kind of hoping this latest escapade cures the Bear of his River Cottage phase.... it doesn't really work in an inner city apartment
gotta go baby crying.... BBL

[TheBear]

At least we didn't get pulled over for an RBT check whilst the pig was sitting in the car - that would have been awkward to explain....
