Tinsel: I use the huggies swim nappy things.. but I also have a pair that I bought from bigW I think but Kmart stocks them too.. Neither of these hold in wee only poop
Been a so so day here.. Olivia was pretty foul so finally at 11 I just put her to bed and let her cry it out.. I dn't usually let her cry for that long but it was close to 20 mins of whining more then crying.. she went to sleep for nearly 2 hours.. I am hoping she goes down for one more nap this afternoon.
Boys are driving me mental today.. in out in out.. its wet outside so they keep bringing in wet grass. I am so sick of sweeping the floor..
hi everyone, GOING INSANE AND NEED SOME REASURANCE......
Is everyones babys going spaz at nappy change time??? Ash screams the house down and persistantly rolls over..every changing time im spending most of it just pinning him down and holding legs, and to make it worse ive converted this last week to cloth nappies and there so much more work, the last thing i can handle is him moving and messing it up...... im going INSANE!! its soo frustrating.. please tell me everyone else is going thru it too and im not just going phyco!!!! aaahhh
Hope everyone sick bubbas get better and SLEEEEEEEEEEEP!
nods head not so enthusiatically more in exasperation
Most nappy times I here I end up with ringing ears and a back ache from struggling with her.. oh fun times.. and I am not help cus this is the first time for me so bring on the ideas ladies.. toys, singing and all those other usual distrations don't work
Off topic: Love this (won't work but was hiding moti)

Hi ladies,
Well according to gp, that's the problem with croup- sometimes it can make babies stop breathing in their sleep, even when they're not coughing or distressed. I got a lecture for not calling an ambulance, which is obviously what I should have done. Feel like such an idiot and a bad mummy!!! But I am just so sleep deprived and he seemed ok and I just went back to sleep... (so I did go back to sleep fater that Tinsel.... baaaaad mummy). Gp said to give two more days of steroids, and keep co-sleeping so we can keep an eye on him. he was ok last night- his cough seems to have broken up a bit, so that's a good sign.
Lauren and Nic- Yep we have the nappy change problem too... I've actually started putting Ty's nappies on backwards if it's too much of a struggle. They say to do that when they are toddlers so they can't pull them off themselves, but it's working really well for us now!! Not sure how it would work with cloth. Just think... a few more kilos and we can go pull-ups!
Tinsel- The huggies swim nappies are a bit spensive. i bought an Imse Vimse one off Ebay for $18 and it's really good.
Lori: i wouldn't have thought to call an ambulance either.. and i too would have fallen back to sleep
Olivia is a turd Woke at 1 and wouldn't stop screaming.. i was getting very cranky.. As i have said before I don't mind if she wakes but why scream as well?? grrr.. ah well we both fell asleep eventually on the couch and i woke at 4:30 and went back to bed but unfort my day started at 5:20 with a thud from Olivia falling from the bed again.. Well her and Jacob were crawling around playing apparently I must have been out to it..
Sorry to hear thats lots of you are sick! I woke up this morning feeling terrible too! Must be the change in seasons. Hope those with sick bubbas are getting some sleep!
Summer is still NOT CRAWLING. My goodness i'm over it. She sits there and whinges becuase she cant reach her toys. She gets on all fours and takes about 2 steps then falls onto her tummy. Oh well at least i can put her down in one spot and don't have to watch her 24/7!!
She also got 4 more teeth last monday. All in one day and didnt complain once. Oh i feel so lucky haha
Buzzie - i was flicking back thru the posts and can quite agree with you on the tantrums at nappy change time. I timed it once and it took me 2 and a half minutes to put a disposable nappy on. And i try and say no to her and growl a little and she laughs at me. Oh fun times haha
I'm going on a holiday tomorrow with my parents and brother up the coral coast of WA. WOO HOO. DH couldn't get the time off Its about a 9 hour drive from where i live so i am praying Summer behaves herself for that long in the car!!!
