Hi all,
Just a very quick one- sitting here skimming through posts and Ty is pushing up on his knees!! Go little man!!
Nic- I am so jealous... I'd sell my soul for sleep like that!
Jus- Hope Ella's finger is ok... who would have thought a little baby would have so much blood????
Well Ty stayed in his own room till.... 10 o'clock. Then he was into bed with Tony. Lol. Why do I bother?
bbl
Well, we have forward movement! Last night she was humping along like a little caterpillar. So not really crawling, but has finally twigged that she can go forwards! Now I've got to be more vigilant with what toys and things are lying around the floor.
We had a bit of an unsettled night last night.. very windy - probaby coz I finally got a decent amount of solids into her yesterday morning. argh. I might pop in to the nurse at the chemist this morning and see what she says. I'm curious to know how much she weighs now, that's the main reason I'm really going heh.. I'm not too good on advice from nurses!
OK - stats today are: Weight 7.85kg (clothed), HC 43.5cm and Length 67.5cm.
The nurse said to give her pear instead of apple, apparently it's easier on the tum, and she suggested drinking around 3 cups of chamomile tea a day, coz that can go thru the milk and help calm her tummy. She said I could give her a bit of the tea direct, but suggested drinking it myself.
She also said some babies don't like Heinz, and some babies don't like Farex.. so perhaps a different cereal could help.
maybe i should try the tea, mind u i really struggle with that one. Ash has the most terrible tummy, im so uneasy about this solids thing. I gave him 3 baby spoons of oats, fig and sultanas in a jar for breakfast and he hasnt poo'ed since - if he doesnt get something out soon, im up for a rough night. - i dont care about me but poor little man. I think im gonna talk to my GP about it, the nurse was really unsure about him STILL having wind issues. I know these bubs are having poo issues but is anyones bubs still struggling to past wind????? she suggested colic relief and maybe baby chiro - but thats more for constipated babies, but if hes breast fed he shouldnt be constipated
I cant believe how much taller ash is to everyones bub. i thought he was big but short.. that good hes really big all over then
Yeah, Kayla struggles with wind at night. Hopefully pear or something will make a difference. Might not ferment so much in the tummy. Kayla was a windy bub, so the nurse wasn't surprised that she's windy starting solids too. I had none of these problems with Tallon.
I gave Kayla a chunk of pear to chew on while I chopped up the other pears to cook.. she absolutely loved it! Cried whenever it slipped out of her hands. It's a bit nerve wracking watching her bite bits off.. but she cleverly moved it around her mouth, chomped on it, and spat it out if it was too big. Finger foods might be the go after all. LOL. Guess we'll just go with what we have at the time. I've now got a gazillion pumpkin icecubes in the freezer, and I've just cooked up the pear. But I'll have to remember to cook up bigger pieces of veges for her to munch on while we eat too.
I struggle drinking chamomile too.. never been good with herbal teas.. Tallon drinks it at night, he loves it LOL. But he's a bit of a strange one. I had a giggle to myself today out shopping when we went down one aisle. There was confectionary on one side, and savoury stuff on the other.. and what did my son ask for? Stuffed olives LMAO. What 2 year old doesn't see all the lollies and chocolates and goes for olives and gherkins instead??
Oh Nic, what a great sleep Olivia had. Blooming husbands hey
Jus how awful with the bleeding finger. I accidentally squished Monique's fingers in the door while I was closing it behind me as she loves to have her arms sticking straight out to the sides and didn't know until she screamed. I felt sooooo bad.
We get Monique weighed and measured next week so I am curious to see how she compares to you guys. She is so windy since she started solids and am glad to hear pears are easier on the tum. She loves pears.
Liz: Kayla is getting big. She is almost the same as Olivia except my miss weighed 8kg..
I cannot tell you how much happier Olivia has been since we stopped solids. 3 days in and we have a much happier little girl.. She is pooping fine although its very icky sticky looking and green (nice topic) but I think we are just going to let things slide and if Olivia is particularly hungry I will either offer more BM or see if she wants food..
Hey for those with formula how much is a tin of say S26 these days?? I found a website online that offers 6 tins for around the 100 mark depending on which formula you use..
I didn't find the nappies were cheap.. but they had lots of things for decent prices.. I am going to have a better look at it tonight once the kids are in bed
