Yes, I've been really slacko too but have been busy, busy watching & posting sometimes,lol. on our f/book thread!
Karen- yep you certainly got to watch the bubs now you just dont know when they will start to get the urge to turn on over to see what thats all about!
All our bubs are feeding on the solids now?? Maybe not Francis being only 4 mths. I didn't start Jackson until her was 5 mths or so & he is just loving it the little Piggy! LOL.
Stay well everyone!
Hey Girls,
HAPPY 6 MONTHS to my little girl yesterday!!
Karen, good to hear Francis is doing well.
BillyOcean, hahahaha, I must admit, I loved his music when I was younger. Loved "when the going gets tough", OMG.
Maz, sounds good, you are a very experienced Mumma!
Mary, how's little Addie going?
Hindonly, Madeleine on solids yep but not at night, I found it was disrupting her sleep a bit and then I stopped and she was better.
We're on Day 7 of a new sleep and settle routine and it's working well. We've had some hiccups but we've been consistent and it's going great. Madeleine is now self settling, sometimes I have to go back in to her and turn her over and pat her bum but walk straight out when she is settled again. She drops off to sleep herself and is getting better. This is a kid who wouldn't even go in her cot since birth!
Everything else well here, she is putting feet in mouth and babbling away a lot, almost saying "Dadda" and when on tummy, gets up on her hands. I pout at her and say "kiss mummy" lately and she'll move my way with an open mouth, it's funny to watch. She sits up well now too and doesn't fall sideways much at all. She is also 10kgs and almost a Size 1, such a chubba bubba. I've recently been shopping on ebay and bought a bit bulk pack of pre-loved clothing (32 items - Size 1) for spring/summer for $50, what a bargain. Some items still have tags on them and are Pumpkin Patch/Espirit and Sprout. Also bought her $6 Cotton On PJ's from there and a Grobag, she loves sleeping in her Grobag.
Anyway, take care everyone and keep enjoying your Bubbas
Love Belinda and Madeleine xx

Hello ladies!
Hope everyone's well!
Our trip down to Melbourne and back to Sydney was great - cuz bub was sooooo well behaved...
Out of about 38 hours we drove (about 12 hrs within Victoria) our bub was unsettled for only about 20 minutes! As soon as the car hit above 60km/h she drifted off to sleep...So blessed...
Only thing was I sat in the back entire time next to her...was a bit squashed but can't complain!Poor hubby.. drove the entire way...
I can't remember who said in the previous post now but yogurts have lactose. I'm lactose intolerant and even "lactose free" yogurts upset my tummy!
Amelie hasn't started the solids yet.. I think I read somewhere that paed recommend that you give them solids once they can sit up by themselves unassisted little bit? Is that right? Or is it ok to start before hand? She started showing interest in what I eat since few weeks ago...
Also which high chairs do you guys have or recommend?
Amelie's almost rolling.. def not sitting!...and she's still in the 6kg range.. hopefully closer to 7kg...
Otherwise she's a very happy bubby...still breastfed...
Oh yay! My hair fall-out has finally slowed down after two months of falling out by clumps! I can see masses of short hairs emerging!
I hope those of you who's hair's falling out stops soon too!!
Happy 6 mths for those bubs who have reached this special milestone!
Woo our little princess is a wake I better go!
Ciao!
Maz I wasn't implying that you did not know what you were doing re. honey on the breast.
Sorry if by making a suggestion to use yoghurt made you feel that way. I can see how that came across, Francis is my forth bub and I know what it feels like to be bombarded with "that's not how you should do it..." "do it this way" or "back in my day we..." etc!!!
Hope you and bubs are doing great

Morning everyone
All well here, Addie has a cold and a runny nose- lots of sneezing this morning. Of course I am paranoid that I made her worse by taking her swimming on Tuesday (in Townsville temp in 26 degrees)
Lunesoleil glad your trip went well, so lucky to have such a long happy time in the car! There is so much differing advice on when to start solids. I reckon you will know instinctively. Addie wqeighs a couple more kilos than Amelie (now 8.3) so when she started showing interest in my food, and over a few days before 5 months she began a breast feeding frenzy when I didnt think she was getting enough- I started solids. I have a chicco poly high chair which I love, it reclines so as Addie cant sit up by herself it is great. She has a little control but slumps forward!
Karen, that is great news on the continues breast feeding, even with some help. I have loved breastfeeding, I even feel sad about weaning her onto solids and easing up the bfs. DOes that sound insane?? Most people cant wait to stop!!
Hi to everyone else, she is grizzling so better go.
We are having a nice week with my parents in Townsville, back to Brisbane next week.
Hugs
Mary and Addie
