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!
Big to 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

good morning,

no im not bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning but the last 3 nights joshie has been sleeping better. Plus recently hubbie has beening doing the 2 am feed. last night dream feed at 11 the change bom and feed at 2 and then back sleep till 5.30 and for the first time i think ever he woke up in a good mood playing in his cot. yay so no 20 times wake ups for us, it seems like he is staying asleep and more content this mybe as we changed his bottles to mostly all avent ones recently i dunno but hey its working.

awwl nearly had spew in key board of lappy. weigh in day tomorrow for us hrmmm maybe 100 or 200?

[Arimeh]

Morning all

Not much going on here, but thought I would pop in and say hi

Soooo... HI!!

[nagromeyk]

Hi everyone,

Happy Australia Day!!

Squidipa - it's weigh in day for us tomorrow too - first one in six weeks so it's gonna be interesting! My guess is that Kye is around 10.2kg total now any more than that and I'll think hit the floor. I'm acutally looking forward to getting back to being able to track his weekly gains again. I'm finally at the stage where I am feeling good about his 'routine' and he has cut back the amount of formula he is drinking quite considerably. I guess it's because he has increased his amounts of solids at each meal - breaky usually has 2-3 tablespoons, lunch is usually 3 or 4 tablespoons and dinner is usually 2 or 3 tablespoons. Based on those amounts I guess he is getting enough LOL He has gone back to sleeping through and not doing the wake ups at 8:30 and 9:10pm which is great I was starting to lose the plot there for a while haha

Beck - I'm thinking of giving Kye avocado today for lunch. I put a bit of mashed banana in with his pear and apple this morning, he was a bit unsure about the diiferent flavour I think. He loves pear so much so his look on his face was like 'this is not what I usually get' hehe

Good to hear G is enjoying her solids. I might give Apricots a go aswell - I looked at them the other day when I was in the fruit shop but wasnt sure whether they would mush up? Did you have any dramas, how did you cook em? Did you take the skin off?

Anyways will leave it there, have to jump in the shower .... the boy is due to wake up very soon!

Hope everyone has an excellent day!

Happy 'Straya day everyone!

Hey...HAPPY AUSTARALIA DAY to all!!! we are just about to head out for a BBQ as soon as DH gets home from work!

Sasha, with the apricots i cut an X in the skin on the bottom, dunked them in boiling water for a min or two then in icey water, the skin came off really easily then i just chopped them up and stewed them in a pan , they fell apart in to a lovely mush! very easy!
G has a deffinate sweet tooth!!! like me... i made parsnip and peaches and gave her a little lick of each before i froze them up....was NOT keen on the parsnip, but wanted more than a taste of the peaches, but it was only ment to be a taste so she will have to wait for that!!

Squid: yay that joshie is sleeping better and you not up 20 times in the night!!! i thought we had it bad when G was up 5-6 times!!!

hi to all

[*Beema*]

G'day Pixie

Injectiond were btter this time, we went to the Dr's rather than CAYHS, it was bulkbilled, so no cost , they did both at the same time, I booked her app at a feed time, so we gave her the needles then followed with a Boobie Feed, and she coped at LOT better. She had big lumps on her legs this time though, but theya re looking better now. Was sooo much better than last time!!!

Must run got a friend over from Leeds for a couple of days

xxoo

Hello everyone,

It's been AGES since I have posted in here! a lot has been happening.
Things are going well except we have broken sleep but from what I have read a few of us are going through it.

Anyone have any teeth yet or signs of teeth?

Vic- glad to hear Miss N's injections went well

Sasha- how did Kyes weigh in go?

Hey Mel and Pixie

Beck- gotta love having a sweet toothed baby Cadence was the same

Squidipa- 20 times a night my gosh you poor thing! I hope Josh's weigh in goes well and he's packing on the pounds. p.s sorry I haven't replied to your PM will get to it ASAP

Hello to everyone I missed

Has anyone got their last bounty bag yet? I completely forgot about it with Cadence.

Hi all

I'm a lurker what can I say..

Been a rough day today - Miss M did NOT want to go to sleep - she started to on her 10am bottle, but her monster brother came over and poked her in the head and screamed in her face so she woke up - then sleep was not an option. Finally got her down just before on the 1pm bottle - she didn't drink very much - but hopefully she stays asleep for a while... she needs it!!!

Some days I'm jealous of you guys with only one baby!!!!!

Of course NOW he is quiet and watching elmo.

*sigh*

[Arimeh]

We'll see how we go... we are looking to trade in the cars to get a newer, bigger car, so if that happens on Saturday (we are in the process of getting quotes from the car yard now) then I won't have a car and will be stuck at home (eek!!)

[MummyTummy]

Hey Everyone!

Sorry I've been MIA, went aay camping on the weekend again! Such an Aussie thing to do....camping on the Murray, waterskiing and sweating it out in the heat!!

Jett is doing fantastically, apart from we still get our wake ups in the night. Usually only one now though... but still he was always such a good sleeper!

I can't remember what I posted last so sorry if I am repeating myself...

Jett has had his 4 month injections at 5 months and we have had no reactions, we have been continuing on the BLS food trail and so far we have banana as an absolute favourite, carrot is pretty good and so is wholemeal toast. Also seems to love lettuce, keeps stealing it from my plate! Not sure what I'll try next... other than that not much is new.

Squidipa - t-shirt idea - "True Blue Aussie Kiwi Kid" Oh and we use cloth nappies cos to me they are no harder to use than sposies, instead of putting them in the bin you put them in the wash! And they just look soooooooo much cuter on their bums!

Big hey and hello to everyone! Kel I almost didn't recognise you....
