i want to try to stop the 2-3am feed, so go 7-11-7 but well see what he lets me do
welll we had out 6mnth injections this morning and they werent too bad, a cry once the stuff went in but settled really quickly which was good, we are down for a nap now, hope its a long one...

Thanks Liz. Yeah, I hope you can work out those feeding times - 7, 11, 7 sounds ideal. I hope Dylan works with you on it. Boo about the shots. I'm not looking forward to that! That's next week's activity with Daddy, LOL. I'm a big wuss. Glad he did alright with them tho. Hope he has a lovely sleep for you this afternoon.
he did, slept 12.30-3 but now wont do his afternoon nap, so he will be a little tired munchkin tonight... although i have left him in his cot to pretend to nap..
will get him up for dinner soon enough... then the evening routine starts..
liz
Liz, hope Dylan sleeps well for you tonight.
Forgot to report that we went to the MCHN for Natalie's six month check today. She is Little Miss Average - sitting on the 50th centile for weight, height and HC. (7.18kg, 65.5cm). We have to see someone about her eye though - the nurse thinks she may have a lazy eye or something. Natalie flunked the reflection test.
We are starting solids tomorrow morning for breakfast, provided she is in a good mood. She's been such a cranky little thing lately.
congrates, nat on the great 6th mnth check up,, dont worry too much about the lazy eye, i had one as a kid, and stacks of people have them just means glasses or an eye patch to train it for a while...probably...
what is the reflection test, we didnt have a proper appointment at 6mnths just a walk in so there wasnt any tests, just weight, height, and head..
yey about the solids hope it all goes well and that she loves them,,,
dylan, went to bed at 7 last night and slept till 3, not bad, then 5.30 resettle and up at 7(but i think that is the delayed affects of the injections)
hubby put him to bed last night which was great, cause want to start to do a pilates class that starts at 7 so he will need to do it..
where about in sydney are you approx ?

Good luck with the solids Amy, Charly puts up a fight sometimes that mouth is not opening no matter what I do, so we have good & bad days. Even after a month we are only on two feeds a day.
Hope Natalie eye is ok, I think Charly has a lazy eye you can notice it when she is tied. My brother had one to fix it he had to wear a patch for a year on the good eye, they did find it till he was a school, so I want to make sure Charly's is corrected before school.
Still have to go for the 6 month check up tried ringing early this week and the phone rang out. Must remember to do it today even though it will be more like a 7 month check up.
Well, our first rice cereal extravaganza went fairly well :) She ate a miniscule amount, but at least she did eat some, LOL. The facial expressions were classic and we got some ripper photos. She gagged more than she swallowed, I think, but hey, she'll get the hang of it :lol:
About the eye, I'm not stressed - the 'eye lady' comes to the local clinic once a month, I think. The MCHN said we probably won't get to see her til Sept or Oct, so I guess its not a matter of great urgency. Liz, they shine a little light between the eyes and they're supposed to see an equal reflection in each eye. She thought Natalie's right (I think right...) eye turns slightly inwards or something? Anyway, like you said, if its lazy they'll give us excersises to do, like covering up one eye and stuff. If its not lazy, then I don't know. I guess we'll find out soon enough...
That sounds like a pretty good night. Did you feed him at 3? Natalie fed at 11pm and 3:30am last night, then was up at 7 this morning. It's better than it has been, so I'll probably keep feeding her if she wakes around 3... I don't know what else to do.
We're in North Rocks, not far from Parramatta. Are you a Sydneysider too?
Charly'smum, that'd be pretty yuk having to wear a patch at school... I'm with you, I'd rather get something like that fixed before school - little kids can be so mean to each other. The window for the checkup is 5-8 months, so you've still got plenty of time :)
snacks, nar not from sydney, but coming up for a holiday end of july for a week, which will be nice.. yep fed him at 3am, so didnt really expect him to wake at 5.30 thats why i just resettle then.. the gagging is hard to watch isnt it.. dylan usually gets tears whilst gagging..

Hi everyone
Well Maya is still Lactose Intolerant. I thought I would try her on some normal S26 formula but she got 'the runs', boy was that fun:doh::rolleyes: So I have to avoid custards and stuff like that, the nurse I spoke to today from the Parents Helpline said small amounts are okay though. Hopefully it will be something she grows out of.
Anyone elses bubs become noisy sirens overnight? Maya is so vocal all of a sudden! making all sorts of loud noises now and loves doing the indian noise with her hand over her mouth, wish I hadn't taught her that now:rolleyes:. She yells out DA DA heaps, today in the supermarket she sounded like a right old looney!! LOL
Aw, poor Dylan! Tears would be tragic. Natalie just looked cross - as usual ;)
Oh dear, poor little lactose-free Maya. Its good to know, I spose. Are you or your DP lactose intollerant, Chantal? Oh, yes, Natalie might be running late with her gross motor, but she's a right chatterbox. She squeals and carries on, says 'mumum' (though I'm not convinced she means me) and atm she's really into sucking her bottom lip and releasing it, making a popping/snapping noise. Its good fun... well, its better than the crying.
BTW, that's a gorgeous photo of Maya - what a cutie :)
Hi, thanks Amy, thats a pic from her professional 6mth photo shoot, so cute in all of them I had to buy the whole pack! Her next one will be at 1yr. I love those sort of photos, just can't do it myself and its something beautiful to look back on.
Noone else is Lactose intolerant in our family except my Mum, who is also gluten intolerant so I hope maya isnt following in her footsteps:redface: I say she will grow out of it by the time she is a couple of years old. I have booked an appointment with our GP so I can find out more info about it.
I know what you mean about the mama sound, Mayas Da Da sound could be mistaken for Dada but my DP doesnt think so, but sometimes he pretends.;)
Hope everyone is sleeping well (your gonna hate me but Maya sleeps right through now, she can finally resettle herself. I hear her stir and wait and then she is off asleep again. Don't ask me why, I just see it as a blessing)
No, I don't hate you, Chon, I think that's wonderful. What a clever girl. Sounds like she's right up there in her development - she's powering ahead... and that's great.
IKWYM... I try to respond when Natalie says it, in the hope that she might recognise it as my name :):
Natalie tried pumpkin today - I know I was supposed to wait a few days to check for allergies, but TBH, she really didn't ingest much of the rice cereal at all... Anyway, she had a b/feed and then half an hour later I gave her a little bit of pumpkin and she gagged away as usual... then THREW UP EVERYWHERE. OMG, I have never seen her spew so much in one go in her life. (It was mostly milk, but there were little orange bits all through it too). Gross.
Snacks, I give Charly solids then wait half hour to BF, since I cannot tell how much she feeds. One of the ladies in my mother group was told by health nurse to do this, so I don't feel bad even though I was already doing it.
Granma feed her yesterday when I was out and she wolfed it down in not time, DH said 'it was gone before he new it, and with a huge spoon'. Guess she loves the apple and I may need a lesson from Granma, although I think Charly like seeing me dance around lol.
Yesterday got the biggest chuckle from her, you could really hear what it will be like as a little girl laughing. Those are the moments I wish I could capture, they make the frustrations so worth it.
I've had a cold this week and it kind of make everything feel worse than it really is, because Charly has one to I haven't go the sleep I would really like to get over it. Make me realise how much my mum did no matter how she felt. I cannot remember her in bed sick when I was growing up.
Charly had a late night last night still sleeping, had a five hour block at first so I got some good sleep. Should be doing the house work but everyone else is a sleep so I might as well do something I enjoy he he.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
Oh Amy, I'm so sorry to hear about the chuck, hope it wasn't on carpet. Gosh, the shock you must of got! I would of been the same.
I give Maya her solids inbetween her bottles, it usually works out an hour before her next bottle.
Charlysmum - I'm trying to ward off a cold which is making me feel a bit lethargic, hope you guys get better quick smart! Lovely to hear about her chuckle, I have only got small ones, more like little bursts .
Absolutely.:
IKWYM about appreciating your mum more. These days I admire anyone with more than one kid :)
Hope you and Charly are feeling better soon.
Ah, if I offered Natalie solids before booby she'd FREAK. When she's hungry, she's hungry NOW :lol: And I guess she doesn't understand that solids will make her not feel hungry anymore just yet.
I think I may have made the pumpkin too 'solid', IYKWIM? I should've put some water in there I think... Anyway, I might give it another go tomorrow (cause we were out pretty much all day today except for her afternoon sleep, we didn't have a try today) then, if she still gags like mad I might leave it for a little while.
Charly is still sleeping yeh when to bed a 8.30 woke around 9.15 asleep by 9.30, slept till 5 had feed and still asleep. Hopefully this continues, don't mind the quick naps during the day if as a long night sleep.
Snacks I give Charly her solids before she gets hungry, guess I'm lucky and Charly likes to play for at least an hour before a feed in the morning. But if she is hungry no way is it going to be solids. I would make the pumpkin a little more liquid and keep trying, I stop and started because of the gagging to, but if you stick with it and make it just a little thicker than breast milk at first it will get better. They need to get use to the sensation in their throat and using there tongue diffently, Charly still does it occasionally but only when she gets to much in her mouth. I still puree most things, banana is the only thing I just mash at the moment, taking things slowly, plus I'll talk to the health nurse tomorrow.
