Dis - Have you tried a different bottle? You might remember I had the same problem a little while ago. On Ren and another friend's suggetsion I switched to Pigeon bottles and they work a treat!
Gypsy, we're trying the Closer to Nature ones and he had no problem with them a couple of months ago when he gave up on the Avent ones We might try Pigeon. I'm willing to give anything a go right now
Dis: Good on you for working out on the wii fit! We are going to get one soon (hopefully). They are just so expensive. Figure it is cheaper than the gym and I don't have to put my kidlets into care. Not to mention fun!!
Ren: Funny you mentioned about the new due in thread. I came in for a quick look the other morning (the long way) and started skimming through......who were these people!?? When I started reading I realised I was in the wrong section DER!! Cute pic of Ava! It's great when they can pick up toys. Dash can hold things to his mouth to chomp on now. It doesn't take long.....to turn from a newborn into an active little person. My favourite ages are 6 months, around when they are sitting and interacting with you more, and now 2ish (gosh, the conversations my DD and I have - great to be able to finally understand her he he). Enjoy every moment with your bubba girl!!
AFM: Well it seems that the Zantac might not of been working for Dash all along. Now that he is on Losec (because doctor did not want to increase Zantac amounts) he will polish off around 180mL (was only around 120mL) per bottle in half the time - what a great improvement!! This of course means that I don't have to feed him every hour in the morning and the afternoon. Because he has a 3-4 hour block of sleep around lunch and sleeps at least 12 hours at night, this does not leave a lot of time for feeding. So, most of his awake time was consumed by feeding, but not anymore!! He even enjoys floor time!! Phew! Feeding solids is also going well. It is great that he has that block of sleep in the middle of the because it gives DD and I some girlie time....very important you know he he. She has only just stopped having her lunch sleep so this is time we can now enjoy together.
We were off to a huge playground nearby today BUT it is raining!! It is a huge fort as long as our house and has ramps, firemans poles etc. Anyway, a lot of fun!! Instead we are headed to the nearby shopping centre where you can pay $3.50 to play on the jumping castle wonderland....only for under 5's and part of a cafe so we can enjoy some nice food as well. Should be a good day.
Wow our bubs are starting to do stuff - ahhh thta's so much fun!
Dis - I could NEVER get Ned to take a bottle hence it was 2 years of him being attached to me. And I foolishly haven't tried H with one so prob the same but oh well! He's prob my last so I'll enjoy it while I can! Good luck!
Orange - Oh I love places like that where you can have a cuppa while kids play happily. Joined up an indoor placy centre here - it's $7 a week direct debited but we go once a week usually (more when the weather is bad), the kids play, we all have lunch and I can read the paper in peace. That is until H becomes more demanding
I hear H stirring so will be quick....still poohing everything and still a bit of blood. Hoping it stops soon or I am back to the docs. Weighed yesterday and 7.3kg so that's good given he's been so sick! Has slipped a bit on his curve but I don't care about those much anyway - thought he would have been worse. Lucie wasn't that size until she was 7 months! And he rolled yesterday Needs more tummy time but we'll get there, hard with 2 other youngies to do much of that for fear of him being jumped on
Anyway gotta scoot Kinder this morning and taking Ned for a haircut. My big boy has the most gorgous platinum blonde hair and I hate getting it snipped off!
Orange, yeah the Wii Fit is awesome! WE got the Wii for ourselves for Chrissy with the intention of getting the Fit once Jared was here. I'm going to be giving up my gym membership since I just can't get there often enough, and now that J is refusing the bottle it will become even harder.
That playground sounds awesome! I love going to the park, I always have a play too J goes in the HAB so I can go down the slide and climb stuff. I'm such a big kid
It's raining here too
Soph, I just gave Ben his first haircut a few weeks ago. He has platinum blonde hair too, super-duper curly as well, which is why I cut it rather than going elsewhere. I figured if I stuffed up, nobody would notice
We have the same problem with Jared and floor time. Ben is suddenly fascinated with Jared's playgym thingy that hangs over him and gets too carried away 'showing' J how to use it. He gets nowhere near as much floor time that Ben got
Good luck with the poo thing. Hopefully it will fix itself up so you don't need a return trip to the doc.
I booked us in for needles on Friday Jared is four months old today!!!
BTW: I lost half a kilo this week....but will wait to loose the whole kg before adjusting my ticker. Can't really believe it considering I have not been very good this week (quite a bit of chocolate he he. Can't complain!!
ETA: Haven't started on the treadmill yet as it is raining and DD is not going outside because she loves water too much. When the rain turns into a light shower I usually deck her out in her gumboots and raincoat for a splash in the puddles but I don't let her do that for long.
hi everyone,
Raining here too on the Gold Coast - windy like crazy last night - you too Ren??
BTW Ren - will PM you shortly about meeting up!
No school for Logan today - teachers strike - I am all for it myself - they deserve more!
So nice day so far. Amara is sleeping and settling so nicely about 99% of the time. I still have not gone over to sleeping bags yet however, still she is wrapped but only very lightly now and often she gets her hands out herself.
Hey Orangefeather, congrats on the loss of the half kilo!! while eating chocolate! he, he, good on ya! I have lost a little more too, despite NO running for a week, cycling instead. BUT today I went out running and my calf feels HEAPS better and more to the point, MY SANITY is back - when running daily has been your life for 10 years, it is hard to go without it!
what is Wii fit? sounds interesting - please explain!
Di's girl - Yes, Amara is very keen to sit up also most of the time! I am going to get rid of my second hand pram now as Amara is now sitting up in the Baby Jogger, looking around.. And Jared is 4 months already? wow..
I just realised it's been 10 days since I posted in here !! Time gets away...
It's my birthday tomorrow... I'll be 28!!! far out....
I'm meeting a friend for lunch (sushi yum) and then in the afternoon another friend will be visiting us with her little 8mth old boy! Then in the evening DH and I will order some Indian take away! Mmmm....
Ava is doing great.... so strong. She's a real little squealer she loves the sound of her voice and chatters away. A real chatterbox just like her Mummy She smiles at anyone who looks at her too... a real cutie!! We are so in love!!
OK gotta go. Time for a dream feed! Hope you're all going well and all your bubba's are nice and healthy. RunnerMum and I met up on Monday and went for a coffee and then had a walk together with the prams along the beach! It was nice!
