Babies Born August 2007 #5

[Liz185]

Thank you for the welcome! I've been breastfeeding since birth and I'll probably keep it up until Alyssa wants to go to the sippy cup I think! With my DS I went back to work when he was 2 months so introduced formula then with him. I can't believe she's already 5 months old- time really flies when you have 2 kids!

Alyssa had her last check up on 16th Jan and she was 6.7kg then, 64.2 cm in length and head circ. was 43.2cm.

Alyssa has had colic for almost this whole 5 months but is settling SO much better now... I'm so relieved!!

Hi girls!

Liz - Welcome!! Time does fly when you have 2 kids does'n it!! I have 2 girls. Briley has just turned 20 months and Colby has just gone 6 months! Alyssa seems to be thriving. Glad to hear the colic has eased up. Briley had it when she was a baby and it was'nt nice. Good to hear the b/f is going well. I am happy to have made it this far with Colby.

Ali - Congrats on the weightloss. You seem to be doing so well. I was thinking about starting the Tony Ferguson programme. What are you doing???

Molly - Ella is doing well! Do they know why you went into pre-term labour?? Or did they induce you? We had Colby weighed at the Drs at the end of Jan and she was 7.8kgs. I can't remember what her HC was though. Not sure what is going on with Briley. I suspects its her 2'nd molars and canines though. I have to attend 2 births and complete my module before i am certified as a Doula. I have attended any of "my" own births as yet but have had quite a few enquiries from clients lately.

Rhianon - Ouchie!! I still a$$ up the other day when we were swimming! The first time i have fallen over like that in a LONG time! I laughed but it shocked me thats for sure! LOL @ your baby brain comment. I read in my local newspaper yesterday that studies have been does and baby brain is a reality. Don't i know it!!! I forget things all time. Hopefully my next birth will be my "own" clients. Did the Dr say what you could do to boost your milk supply??? I might be going back to work for a few weeks soon and i just cannot, for the life of me, express. I don't know if its the pump of what. I just can't get anything out. I was wondering if its my supply. Glad Jensen's rash has cleared. Colby has had one lately too.

Bec - Won't be too much longer and you won't be able to stop Xav. Every baby is different. Briley did'nt crawl until she was 9 months. He will in his own time. He might even be one of those babies that just starts walking rather than crawling than walking!! Imgaine that!!!

Kim - Has Haydens tooth actually cut???? Colby is showing lots of teething signs just no teeth yet.

Sonia - Great to hear from you hun! Wow Willa is a big girls is'nt she!!! Sorry to hear she is still struggling with the ringworm though. Did the Dr say how long she was meant to have it??? Surely they could give you something else to use. Have you tried paw-paw ointment??? It can usually clear up anything!!d LOL @ your DH being a Doula. Not sure how many clients he would get!!!! LOL!

Hi to everyone else! Hope you are all well!

Not much to report here. Colby is getting closer and closer to crawling. She pushed her way over to a toy today. She's growing up to quick!

Off for our 6 month needles tomorrow. Will have her weighed and measured aswell.

Take care!
