Babies Born January 16th ~ 31st 2009

Whose little one still doesn't smile a lot? Dash is 9.5 weeks now and will smile but you have to work really hard for one. Guess he hasn't had much to smile about last few weeks with the bad reflux. He still has the newborn reflex where he shakes his arm and leg (only on left side now) when stretching and waking....anyone else with a bub still doing this?

Jo and Runner: Another option is Zantac (I had a choice of this or Losec)...it is liquid but need a script and costs $20 for the bottle that will last forever, it is huge! It tastes awful though, like mouthwash, but since Dash is bottle fed we can put it in his bottle no prob.....when we were giving it to him before a feed he would get upseet and then not feed.

Dis aned Soph: Thanks for info on the Wiggles, hope you enjoy the show with your little ones. I think I will buy the tickets and hope that DH can have the day off and either go with DD or watch Dash - I am not too confident going out with two to a big event (it's a new world lol) especially when my DD is going through the "I can do it by myself" phase and the "run as fas as you can and hide from mummy" phase. Your boys are doing a great job chubbing up nicely - bet they are just too cute!!

Jo: Is Caleb still rolling over?

BIG hello to everyone else!!

REN: How is little Ava going? Hope that the breastfeeding is still working for you both and that she is sleeping those longer stretches for you like she started doing. Hopefully you haven't posted because you are getting some nice rest or enjoying your happy bubba!!



Mummy brag moment (throw all the tomatoes at me that you want lol).....Dash has slept from 8.30/9.00pm - 7.00-7.30am for 4 nights in a row now. So 10-11 hours without waking up once! YEAH!!!! I feel really lucky and hope he keeps it up (if not, that's ok too). I am stoked that he is doing this at 9 weeks old....it's a nice relief with all the upset and worry of severe reflux....no way that he would be able to do this without his meds! I guess that bottle feeding has helped as well with this but it is a great feeling getting a full nights sleep. Now, to work on those smiles. Hope that those who need a full night sleep get one soon as well!!
