On the rusks i slice up wholemeal bread and dry it out in the oven on a really low temp 120 i think - you can remove the crusts but i never bothered with Alex.
Sorry Nic cant help with that one except i used to get that lovely cramping before but AF hasn't returned yet so who knows now. I'd ask in the general forum area.
Lori - i hope you have a good night tonight and i found that the teething gel was a waste of time seriously give those tablets a go lots of ladies here on BB swear by them as well.
Well we had a good day nothing interesting but then my little pain the rear daughter decided not to go to bed but bf for a hour and give herself the worst bellyache...i got super cranky and left DP to get her off to sleep while i put Alex to bed and i couldn't stand him touching me as i was so wound up and cause Vicky had been stroking my face & fiddling with me for an hour Well she is asleep now so hopefully will stay that way for a few more hours.
Hi ladies,
hope you all got some sleep last night. ella had me up at 4 for half an hour with a pooey nappy. why can't she just poo in the day time? in fact, she did. bonus poo. She seems to do a few in succession. are any other babies like that? but then she slept til 7. woohoo.
the rusks, I make by slicing wholemeal bread in 4. might take crusts off next time. baby love recipe. 1 or 2 min in microwave on high, let them dry. / in slow oven for an hour. I did both microwave & oven. i might be dumb, but I couldn't work out whether you did one of the methods or both. anyhow, they turned out ok & cheaper than the store bought ones, specially when she chucks em on the floor so fast. yeah, i do recycle. she's gotta get some germs sometime or other ... mother of the year. lol.
Jus - lol - yep, Kayla does her poos in succession too. We still go a few days between, but then it's a day of pooing! And mother of the year - sorry, that goes to me Kayla's always chomping on grubby toys and I pick her spoon & rusks off the floor and give em back. Her dummies have NEVER been sterilised, only ever swished under TAP water, even after being dropped out of the car on the road or something LOL. Gross. But hey.. my kids are soooo rarely sick I think it's safe to say it's done them good! hehehe.
Homemade rusks - are they hard? I just don't want Kayla biting a big chunk of it off, which is why I quite like the bought ones. But yeah.. they do get wasted.
Solids are going very slowly here. Now that I've slowed it down, she doesn't show much interest! She's still waking at night, but we're back to just feeding and going straight back to sleep, which I can handle
hey liz, you make me feel so much better. ella hasn't been sick yet, so we can't be doing too much wrong. & yeah, if she's eating the toys on the floor, why can't she eat the spoon too! our gp only ever rinses the dummy under the tap when we've dropped it at the surgery. Plus I read an article about how you don't really need to sterilise, just clean thoroughly. lack of exposure to enough germies is even linked to diabetes, would you believe!!!
the rusks aren't too hard, tho they are kind of rough. i though dd wouldn't like that but she didn't seem to mind. they do break if dropped. they go quite mushy when they suck on them, so in our case that's good, because I reckon ella might get more food down the throat that way (won't eat anything. had a tanty this morning cos i tried to feed her... i didn't expect tanties this early!!! can't wait til she's 2).
Hmmm I may have to try this homemade rusk bizzo. Mother of the year, I'm applying too- rusks, spoons, toys, evryhting goes back in the mouth. Went to the pub for lunch the other day and had Ty sitting on my lap and he gummed the grotty outside pub table. Eewww.
Ty had three- count 'em- sleeps yesterday, one for a whole hour and a half. And even went down for the last one without screaming. And he's asleep at the moment with no screaming. Yay!! But we had a shocker of a night last night, up every hour or so again. Doing the big step tonight of putting him in his own room. I cvan guarentee he'll end up in our bed again but it's one step in the right direction (I hope). I figure we can only try and if it doesn't work, then he can come back to our room.
Off to mum's group today, yay! Hope you all had a good night's sleep I am planning on enjoying the sunshine today too, it's lovely here- bit cold but hey, I'll take what I can get
ETA- Jus, our babies will be angels by the time they're two, remember? We get massive tanties here too. And there is actually a disease called Kawasaki Syndrome that bubs can get from not enough exposure to germs and too much exposure to anti- bac products (I only know this because Kelly Preston and John Travolta's baby has it- I saw it on Oprah )
LOL at the pub table. Ick. I thought I was bad letting Tallon chomp on the shopping trolley handle when he was smaller LOL. Actually I didn't "let" him, was just impossible to stop, but I never bothered with those cover things you can get for the shopping trolley.
Lori - hope putting Ty in his own room works. I've wondered the same thing, if I moved Kayla away from my bed if she'd sleep better.. but I just can't do it LOL. It's so easy to just reach over and pick her up for a feed without having to get out of bed. Perhaps I'll move her in a few months when it's warmer But even then it'll only be to a normal cot still in our room, eventually she'll move in with Tallon
well im so ovulating atm, im so moody and my boobs are killing me!! - and im not seeing my ex till next week AAAAAHHHHH
Ash is doing so well with the crawling, hes up on his knees and pushes forward with his legs but the hands arent moving with him lol
Its so funny tho cos he pushes on his hands and and on his feet.. so his doing push ups only his hands and feet touching the ground!! very strong boy.. hehe
Well nothing else intresting here, got his 6months check in 1/2 hour. cant wait to see the nurses face when she sees him over 10kg. - i saw a little boy walking in the shops, he looks like he just started cos he was a little wobbly, and Ash was bigger than him!
Well she is asleep now so hopefully will stay that way for a few more hours.
