Crumpet - I'm thinking that maybe it wasn't the yogurt that cause Hannah's disgusting nappies, as she did another one this morning. I'm thinking its just her body adjusting to the 6mo formula. We ran out of newborn, so had to move her up to 6mo, but only a week early.
im so confused about this 6 month formula business!

Crumpet, ooo, new carpet!


Argh, I have so much to catch up on... Millie has just started squealing (one of her new "things") so I better go... bbl for more!
cant wait our carpet is about 50 years old, dusty and no matter how much i vacuum it, it never comes up "nice"

oh dont u love the squealing! summah taught herself how to do it while we were away, in all the nice boutique wineries she would let loose!

Crumpet calling the ambulance was just a split second decision that i decided was the right thing to do. I've done it a few times at work when there were car accidents out the front so i knew what to expect. I'm a pretty calm person but was panicing at the same time. It all happened in a matter of minutes really from Harper waking, seeing her coughing and gasping for breath, knowing i couldn't get her to the hospital on my own but it being necessary for her to go so i called an ambulance. It was instinct i suppose, if the time ever comes for you (hopefuly it doesn't) but if it does just stay calm and just trust yourself to do the right thing.
thanks hun, gives me a idea of why and what made u realise to do it.

Crumpet - if you want to prepare (just in case) what you need when you call an ambulance is your name, address, phone number and nearest cross street. Also any identifiers if you live in a difficult area. Call from your home phone when possible, cause if you can't remember those details, they can get the number from the official database. Same as when you're visiting someone, always call from the landline.

6 month formula? Curious, our MCHN told us to stay on the same formula as there's no need to upgrade, it's just a marketing ploy. Unless the medical professionals have suggested changing formula, you can stay until they wean. And our MCHN told us not to use the toddler milks either, more marketing ploy. More than happy to discuss my thoughts on toddler milk if you say the word!!!!
thanks hun, thats a great tip to have!

please go to town on the whole changing formula thing becasue i have no idea, Summah is 6 months next week and i dont think we see her MCHN for a few weeks, although we have needles so will see her paed next week so i can ask him, but any extra info is much appreciated!

Routine: we have a flexible routine.

generally we get up at the same time every day, bottles food and bath happen at the same time every day, but sleeps meh if we are home she will be put to bed, but it im out i just let her do whatever.....
but it have a routine for me not her, coz im anal and like to know whats happening and when!

AFU: we had a very exciting night in our house last night!

Summah can sit up by herself unassisted for around 30-60 second mark!!!
was so weird seeing her sitting there!

plus we had our first attempt at finger foods last night!
i had wanted to do BLS with her but was just not confident enough, so last night after i didnt mash her potato enough and she managed to chew the lumps no issues at all, i thought id give it a go.....
chopped her a chunk of banana and pear and we failed.... it was to slippery for her! just when i was good to go!

will try again im going to get some sweet potato and steam some chunks and see if she can hold that!
