Happy 5 months to all the bubs!!!!

Not much to report here. The only thing that has changed is that we have stopped wrapping DD for sleeps. She is still in her sleeping bag but just goes into bed under the covers. She looks so beuatiful asleep with her arms above her head.

Have a good day everyone

I'm getting excited about starting solids too, it seems like something new and exciting at the moment but I know it will just be more effort for me

No rolling here, just lots of jibberish, lots of in love with Raggs the dog, lots of laughing and smiles. Had two good days the last two which im thankful for as my boobs needed a rest hahah.

Everyone's bubs are looking gorgeous!!

Sue - DS does that when sleeping too, hands above the head soooo cute!

AFM - PND getting better, slowly starting to get back into the swing of things. I still have days where I completely resent Anthony and Alexander and that's hard, but now I have days where Alex smiling make me smile too... and that had been totally taken away, so there is imporvement.

A quick one

Ash -- great to hear you are feeling a bit better. DD is 'talking' heaps as well its so cute.

Prama -- I have always sterilised bottles until they are 12months old and then they go onto dairy. I also have always given my lot cooled boiled water to drink until they are 12months also!!

ash - glad your feeling better. i know some days i feel down too. and i feel almost nothing towards bub, but it doesnt last long.

sorry quick one too.

Hi guys.

Ash - I glad you are feeling better. I understand those days, I have them too!! You are doing a great job hun.

Jacki - I am looking forward to starting solids too! I have given DD rice cereal a few times to see if it helps with her sleeping, but stopped because it didn't seem to be doing any good. She was happy to take whatever I gave her though! I will also be covered in multi-coloured spew when we start; DD never stops throwing up all over me!!

prama - I am glad to hear that the test results came back clear; you must be so relieved! Thankfully DD will take a bottle so someone can give me a break, but it is a while since anyone has done it! I think she is at an age where most people assume she sleeps ok, but she doesn't yet!

DD's sleeping has gotten bad again, so I am taking her to a chiro to see if maybe it is a back problem. She wants to sleep but just screams every time I put her down and I am running out of ideas! The chiro reckons he knows what the problem is and that he will be able to fix it. We will wait and see! I also took her back to the dr to make sure there isn't anything else wrong. He told me that the dr who prescribed her reflux meds gave her a really mild one which probably isn't doing anything. I had decided that she probably didn't have reflux since the meds didn't seem to help it, so I took her off it. Now it turns out that may be the problem but she needs something stronger! He gave me a referral to a paed, but hey can't fit me in for three weeks! Sigh... We have been putting her down on her tummy lately and it has made the world of difference. I know we are not supposed to, but it is the only way she will sleep! Up until now she has been sleeping on us on her tummy, so it is no different from putting her down in bed on her tummy and she is so much happier that way. Now I am just constantly worried about SIDS though! We just can't win!

Hi everyone!!

Bun- that sucks that you cant get into the chiro for three weeks...you'd think being a bub they would sneak you in somewhere!

Ash- Awesome to hear that your PND is getting better!! Keep smiling!!

Jacki - Nice weight!!! How you going with the weather down there?

Prama - what a relief that Lakshmans results came back negative!! Noah recognises his bottle too, he lunges for it..lol...then grabs it and HAS to hold it with me...



We have started Noah on solids, just the little 4 month jars and baby cereal, he wolfs it down. We were having dramas last week with him being very unsettled , so we narrowed it down to maybe his bottle isnt satisfying/filling him up, so gave the solids ago and he has been a totally different little man!!

I hope you are all doing well!!
