ohh jaylens being good this arvo thank god, wonder what was wrong with him this morn... so hard to know

jen, glad ur outing went ok! where do u get them baby bjorn carrier things from, jaylen loves his pram so i wont use it going out, but it would be handy for around the house, like i could cook ect with him on me and have my hands free!
once the newborn nappies are below jaylens belly button i might stop using them... i think im going to have to start putting him in pants and tops, 000 jumpsuits are way to big in the body and a bit too long, but in the 0000 the feet arent big enough and some are starting to get a bit short.. but they fit nicely in the body... ohhh pants and tops are annoying for just around the house, ride up ect lol

Jess- We are a little lazy with dressing Amber while at home. She normally gets just a singlet and her nappy. But then we have her in 2 wraps. We went out today in a cute hoody. The hood had teddy bear ears on it. We were given so many cute clothes for her that I reckon she wont wear half of it. She is in 000 at the moment but it wont be too long. She is a long girl and the length more than anything is what she will grow out of.

She is still asleep. Ben must have the midas touch in settling her.

Hi girls

Addy is asleep, again, for at least 1/2 hour this time. She has been so unsettled today and has barely slept. She seems to be in pain at times too. But we saw the paediatrician today for her 6 week check up, and he says she has some regurgitation causing maybe some heartburn and we are trialling mylanta. Maybe thats why she is finally sleeping. We have tipped the bassinette up 30 degrees- like how you did it in the hospital. Its only on a pillow for now, we will try something else later.
Here I was thinking it was colic or windpain! She sort of goes to sick up and then swallows it, or does vomit (has been increasing over the past week). If it doesnt improve with the mylanta, we will see the paediatrician again.
On a good note, she is doing great and weighs 5.2kg.

Nik :hugs: for the non supportive hubby, its so hard for them to understand most of what we go through. Especially all the breast stuff. I just keep saying to Doug- if it was your nipples she was sucking on two hourly- you would feel differently too!!

Kate, I have been buying so much soft cheese and loving it!! Even blue! Interesting news about Michael, hope things continue at least civily between you.

For everyone approaching the end of tghe newborn nappies- My Dh stopped using them before I did, we are in infant size which do look so big but I stopped using newborn when they were leaving red marks on her legs and they only go to 5kg- so when I found she was 5kg I stopped!

oh yeah I was gonna tell you about my baby carriers.
I keep the baby bjorn in the car and use it for short trips, groceries and are using it more and more cause she seems to hate being in the pram at the moment. She starts off happy enough then starts crying and stops as soon as I pick her up. The other day I ended up going back to the car and putting her in the baby bjorn and pushed an empty pram around! She fell asleep like a good girl.

Just make sure you read about the baby bjorns- some people dont like them cause they say they incorrectly align the babies spine. These people recommend using them only for a short time. I cant actually find any research to support this and choice magazine voted them the best baby carrier so make up your own minds.

I also have the huga abub, which now I can actually put on properly, is great. Pretty comfy- does get hot though. I use it in the house each day to get on with stuff.

The baby bjorn is so much easier to put on, but doesnt look as comfy for the bub. Some other people swear by the sling type, like bubba moe- they look so much easier to put on, but look bad for your back!

So much choice!
Jess I iknow there are heaps of slings on ebay cheap.

Jess

I agree I hate singlets and tshirts that ride up- I prefer the bodysuits that do up in the crotch!

ps. Jess, if I click on your blog thing, it says I can't go in there. Do I have to have a password thing? Or are you talking about something on your own site?

Jesus. My head is not working.

jen - yer i just put jaylen in bonds jumpsuits at home, they are the best things.. hes in 000 in them and will prob go into 00 soon, but bonds are smaller hehe! im just using white tshirt bodysuits instead of singlets, HATE how singlets ride up, might use them if its really cold in winter but yer..
yer i went through all the 0000 jumpsuits ect and put half of em in a bag cuz they dont fit...
i got told that other people, like who dont feed the baby, can settle them better than us cuz they think, oh yer, no food here, i will go to sleep!
