Pixie: i would be worried if G went 4 days...just imagining what was to come..lol stock up on baby wipes!
Squid, like the t-shirt idea, i like 'true blue Made in NZ'
Sasha : after what you said about K being to full to sleep for a long time i started thinking. G has been waking at 12.30 and 3.30, i feed her both times, presuming she is hungry. Last night she woke at 10, instead of feeding her like i normaly would have i just put her back to sleep and she slept through till 5.30!!! I couldnt belive it! then i fed her and she slept till 7.30!!!!!!! is it normal for them to sleep better when fed less??? i just presumed that more food = less hunger = more sleep. we will see what happens tonight!!

hi becka thanks for your input on the tshirt i apreciate it.
josh has gone a very long time with out pooing andwhen he did go it wasnt really that bad. Also josh wakes all throughout the night like about 20 times but i dont feed him every time i offer feeds at 10.30 2 am and 4 or 5 more than likely he doesn't drink the bottle anyhow. How ever if i pick him up at 2am and put him in bed with me he doesnt wake as much and goes longer with out bottle.
so i think in my case hunger hrmmm mabe not wet nappy wind cold hot uncomfortable maybe facters in joshies waking. also over sleeping may be a fcter as josh sleeps at aroun 6 or 7 and can go till 8am but thats very brief wakes dummie or bottle and back down in his sleepy way. so as for us we still working somethings out. we have tried to keep him up longer in day but that didnt work and he will sleep till 5am o.k and till 8am if i am in bed with him he likes to be almost smotherd in cuddles with his feet sort squashed up a bit like in the womb or when they raise thier legs to poop.
oh also thought ild share with ya.... ya know how josh only gained 110 grams well im concerned now what will next weeks be its been dropping down and down and down he drinks 1250 ml a day well maybe not that concerned just thinking what will wednesdays be i am hoping on more than 100 IYKWIM i wonder if its this humity too i mean ds3 lost over kilo recently he int underweight weight 15.4 kilo now but it just got me thinking.
Anyone notice the weeks are just rushing by its crazy i cant believe it. just everything rushing by here i am having girls night with dd10 and she has this wopper pimple on her face i like thinking lastweek ya had one on ya nose my oh my.
oh btw the bloke confessed and i got my car qote 1300 and its being repaired yay but not for 5 weeksas they are totally booked out and i wont have my car from 27th till 4th march grrr but oh well at least ts getting fixed. im now thinking i should have paid more so i could have had a hire car given to me oh well we learn hey.

Had a weigh in ourselves yesterday, she is now 7.03kg, a gain of 183g. dont know if the heat affects the weight, although i guess they could loose fluid from sweating....not sure on that on SQUID. But i know that G is SO much more active so thats makeing a difference for her i think.
One of the main causes of her waking up at night is that she manages to get from the bottom of her cot right up to the top, so that her head is squashed up against the cot bars and it wakes her up!!!
Also, we have a mosquito net over her cot, a full lenth one that goes from the ceiling to floor, but she has just started to grab it through the cot bars and pull it in to the cot, worried she might get tanggled up in it!! But didnt want to take it off yet, still loads of mozies about!!! ????
Re the T-shirts SQUID, my DH saw one that he was going to get for G. As im english and he is aussie.... It said ''50% Mum, 50% Dad, 100% Aussie''
Started giving G regular lunch for the past week, i tried with something and she loved it and the next day so guess she is ready now, we have had sweet potato, carrot, avo, DH gave her rock mellon which she LOVED but they recommend waiting till 8 months for that...oh well. And i cooked some appricots and gave her that mixed with baby rice....the fav so far!!! Im happy she is enjoying it, although some days she will still be opening her mouth and searching for more when its all gone and some days she will have a few mouthfulls and not be interested!! but im happy for her to decide. Today im cooking up Parsnips and peaches...not together...to add to my collection in the freezer. I think we will have pear for lunch.
Anyway, enough rambling, got to attemt to get the washing dry, raining out side, steamy inside, too hot to use the dryer...

hey becka thanks for your reply, 183 is good weigh in result i think congrats, G hs been eating laods of different things i havnt really tried much of lots of things, keeping with one thing for many days at a time to wait and see a reaction and then it turns out to be his fav so refuses other things......
for part of it its still pushed out other bits straight back and down yet i know he wants it as he enjoys he bits he does have and the tatse plus he takes everything from my plate.
question for cloth bummed using mums, why have u chosen this.... Is it like well breast feeding is so time consuming and hard at times but i want to do it and push myself through any of those barriers and feel proud caus ei know its best, same as cloth its time consuming but i know its best and i know ill be proud of my self at the end of the day? i dunno sorry if i offend anyone.... just wondering if at all that comes into your mind along with the fact that better to be more pure on babies bum that chemical made things
how many ml's of fomrula are u all giving dailey we on 1250 ml???.
i am suprised that so many of you are trying avo we havnt and to tell ya the truth prolly wont till he is 3 as hubbie is alergic to it. but i have heard of other ppl beeing alergic to it, Good on ya babies loving it tho i wish all my kids would eat it. only 1 child eats avo. Prolly as i dont. josh hastarted with this need i wnat u now scream and stops as soon as ya pick him up the cheaky beautiful bom. its very loud!!. especially at 2 and 4 am.
well i gotta scoot right now thanks again becka i love that top ur partner saw its cut that would be a another goodie hehehe.

Squidipa - I use cloth full time on both of mine and don't think its too much hassle or extra work. Its one load every 2 days, and I put them on the line when the kids go to bed, and then 2 days later, take them off,hang up the newly washed ones.
If I could do it AND work 3 days a wek - I think anyone can.

Just thought I'd pop in quickly and say
Everything is fine here now it's not so hot! The poo drought was broken yesterday and it was fine, not even a nappy explosion. Thanks for the tips on constipation, I ended up using prune juice to mash up her fruit and not sure if that did it or not but I've got it now just in case.
A quick question probably for you Vic, how did N go with her six months needles? I found the four month ones really knocked Beth around, so hoping the six months ones don't do the same, I feel like we've only just recovered from the four months ones!
Bigto Squiddy, Beck, Mel, sash, rach and MT sorry for being slack on the personals but a bit fuzz brained today!

Squid, its good to wait a few days between trying new things, G had already had avo to taste about 5 times with no reaction, same with sweet potato so when she had something new for a few days i would follow with those as i knew she had no reaction to them, probably not the way to do it, but we havent had any reation yet and no allergies that run in the family, not going crazy though, just retrying the things we had already had now. Avo was the first thing we tried, mainly as i eat it quite a bit and she would just take it from my plate!! lol
Pixie, we have our injections next week!! big hugs to both our bubs for that day!! think i hate it more than she does though!
It has been SO hot today,just impossible to get her to sleep, woke up at 5.30 and JUST got her down at 2pm but had to lay with her and feed her to sleep on our bed under the fan!!! she is sleeping now!
oooo...i stzand corrected...she is awake, gotta run. hi to all
