Babies Born January 2008 #4

[Mads]

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.

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

Hi ladies...

Missed a bunch as usual, am back to packing as we were moving then we weren't & now we are again...

As for 'unsettled baby day', I have that most days lol. She's usually not upset to be awake though... just... awake.

Jess, love your new ticker picture cute.

Was it Jen that said they don't bother with much in the way of clothes at home 'cept for a singlet & nappy? That's me alot too unless it's a cooler day as like you I have to wrap her in 2 wraps so she can't escape so I don't want her getting too hot. That & she hates being messed with so the less clothes to get on & off her the better.

Anywho ladies, hope tomorrow is a better day for everyone, I'm off to bed even though I'm not that sleepy 'cause I have to try to get some shut eye. (Would say beauty sleep but that would be a joke..!)

Have i mentioned i want quick reply back i'm sure i have and am just repeating myself.

The last few days Sophie just been in a nappy, singlet and then wrapped. But today was cold and raining so i had to put a bonds suit on her and put the mittens bits over her hands as they were cold and even had to put the aircon heater bit on this weather is ridiculous!! i wonder what tomorrow will bring weatherwise. Sophie had a good day today, feeding every 5hrs most of the time. My SIL gave me a baby carrier not sure what sort it is havent tried Sophie in it as yet as she looks too small for it and i dont want her to fall out of it.

Jess- speaking of having to take jewellery out for whatever reason, they made me take my earrings out for theatre and i put them in Chris' wallet and forgot about them and then tried to put them back in and had a little trouble with the right ear ive had my ears pierced since i was 10 and had trouble with them even then but they are back in.

Jen- yes over being in the house atm, going out tomorrow nothing exciting just food shopping plus i need to stock up on nappies, wipes and probably some other stuff. Im glad that Amber had a better day and i agree if your not worrying about them not sleeping your worrying about them sleeping alot etc, it can be stressful but with Sophie i'm really starting to notice the different cries and what she does when shes hungry or got pains in her tummy Chris is still learning whats what as he works and only spends a limited hours with her. Woohoo on your successful trip out. Good luck with the trip to Bendigo.

Kate- the letters sound cool a nice crafty project for you to do. With regards to bathing bubs i put the baby bath on the dining room table and bath & dress Sophie there means i'm not straining my back just yet leaning over the side of the bath tub just thought i'd share incase anyone else wanted to try it. Sophie still seems to fit into the newborn nappies fine. Good to hear you & Michael are getting along so well, and haha the b!tch is gone did she happen to take the plasma does sound like she was influencing what he was doing.

Sazz- if its mastitis get to the dr and get it checked out.

Nik- Sorry to hear you had a bad day yesterday. Your most welcome for the support, at some point or another weve been there for each other. I too never thought i'd get so much out of joining a pregnancy/baby forum and seeing as i dont have any friends friends in QLD you ladies have been great and i really feel i've made some good friends.

Jess- make sure your eating well or both your mum & Kates mum will be knocking on your door . Your blog thing doesnt work wont let me access it.

Maz- if you think your 'slack t@rt Maz' just remember your our slack t@rt Maz just kidding. Lovely to see you in here and woohoo that Mat is back to loving his BB juice again. Sorry to hear you had a crap few days. How to i get Sophie to sleep overnight?.

QM- good to see you pop in. Bummer about the moving/not moving/moving would be totally frustrating.

**TMI but Chris was keen to DTD before he went to work earlier and i said no i'm a little scared and want to wait until ive had my 6 week check-up to get the all clear and the pill/injection so we dont have another baby on the way haha.
