Renee: I found gripe water did nothing and the Weleda baby colic powder works first time everytime! It's AMAZING! But others here said Gripe water is great, I think Little Mrs has had lots of success with it. I have had return of the red blood, not heavy or even like a period, but just red and a lot more than there was, I was down to liners and getting hardly anything on them, and now back to revolting pads, just the regular ones. I too hate pads!! Good luck with your photo shoot.
Babyluv: When Ivy screams it is always wind - but she doesn't have reflux. If I am really super duper diligent and burp her properly after each feed (and also after each side) she is pretty good and calm at night and if I don't, boy do I pay for it at the end of the day. Then the build up of wind - like you said Sienna is doing - ends up coming out as super farts! Ivy is a farting champion. I have no idea if it's something you eat making her farty, it's just so hard to tell. The waves crashing sounds great I really hope that works for you. Friends of mine used to play white noise to their daughter and as soon as you turned it on she used to lay down and zonk out, it was so cool!! And you can easily do 10kgs in 10 weeks, I have faith in you, you won't be the fat bridesmaid
Kaylee: Boys are so much harder to dress, there aren't lots of boys clothes in the same way there are for girls, but there are some really really cool websites that have great clothes for boys. There is one called Boy Germs that recommends lots of toys and accessories and clothes for boys. After a 9 hour sleep Ivy will feed every 2 hours for the first 3 feeds then back to normal...usually, although it's been a week or so since we've had a 9 hour sleep. I knew she'd be lulling me into a false sense of securityThere are Kinders a lot closer than 40 minutes away, but we are sending DS to a Steiner kinder (and steiner school later on too) and that is the one we managed to get him into, there is a closer one in St Kilda but very hard to get into and I didn't get Q's name on the list early enough. The drive is fine as long as Ivy keeps being so good in the car FINGERS CROSSED! Have you got any photos from Karen yet? I'm eager to hear how they turned out
New Dawn:these babies must all be talking to each other and having belly pains at the same time, either that or it's a stage they go through at this age....Hmmmm....could be it.
Bexie: you are ruffle obsessed!! But I have to admit they are super cute, ruffly bums are great!!
Caixin: yep with the bath you say the same thing just before you do it everytime eg "Ivy, Ready, Go" and pour a small cup of water over their heads. Ivy was a bit confused by it at first but now she loves it. they have to be sitting up so it runs down their face and can't get in their nose or mouth. Did you get the dvd in the bounty bag? They show you how to do it on that. Yay for the sleeping that Claire is doing, what a champ!!
AFM: Only 2 wake ups last night, I just fed her in bed again...sooo lazy. Today Ivy has been doing some MUCH better sleeping and MUCH better burping, so I have managed to clean up the lounge/living area, including sweeping all the floors and put all of DS's toys away. The kitchen is clean and have done 2 loads of washing!!!!!!!!!! yesterday I did nothing because Ivy was so upset and I just couldn't get the wind out of her no matter how much I patted and bounced her, we ended up giving her the colic powder last night and it worked straight away again, I love that stuff!!!!!
