Hi Ladies,

Mistyeiz & Mollygirl, my little bub is Ela too. Not quite Ella as in the english way of spelling it though.

So many bubs on the move. Mistyeiz - Ela is doing the commando crawl too and she gets about the lounge room and has once gone upto the tv unit and began touching the drawers. It'll be very soon when they all open and get things out and start making a real mess of the house.

Ali, must be real hard having a lactose intolerant bub. I am lactose intolerant too, which developed after giving birth to Devrim. It is the worst. Can't even eat icecream, sometimes i give in and have some icecream and i end up in cramps and pain. Sometimes the littlest square of chocolate can send me into pain. Goodluck. Cooking food for each individual in the house must be hard, i can imagine.

FF bubs mums- have you considered changing the teat to 6months plus now, since our bubs are or approaching 6 months? I meet need to change Ela's as she gets frustrated during some feeds. How about dummies too? Do we change them too?

Mollygirl - boys will be boys, they splash everywhere. Devrim is 5 and he still splashes and it drives me crazy.

Bec & Sara- mum tells me that i never crawled and just began walking at nine months. So you can expect bubs to walk without crawling too! I think Ela will be an early walker too, she loves being on her feet all the time.

Liz185 (as we have another Liz too!)- Ela got her bottom teeth before Xmas, so at about 4-4.5 months. She had been drooling like Alyssa since 3 months. Just the other day, i noticed a top tooth had made its way out, so now Ela has 3 teeth. She is drooling really badly these last couple of days. Only last night, in 1 hour of putting on a new bib, it was completely soaked!

I have an immense teething problem (i think) at the moment. Ela is not sleeping well at night or during the day. She has a little bit of a runny nose (thanks to Devrim, who had it first) as well. I have started her on Panadol and Fess. She isn't eating well either. She locks her mouth and you can't get a damn thing in their. She gets frustrated with the milk too (better look at changing the teat first). She is grizzly and clingy, it is driving us all insane. We were so used to the placid Ela, but that's now history. She wakes 2-3 times a night, where i feed her for the 2 awakenings and getting her back to sleep is impossible. I sit their rocking her for like an hour. HELPPPP! Does teething affect sleep? Please tell me she will get back to her old routine soon. She is happy and playing when she wants to though.
How are your bubs handling teething?

Take care all..
