Mary- I give Jonathan Karicare & I have no problems with it, he had it when he was 3 days old. Only there & then he throws up milk & I asked the MHN & she said it's normal, so I'm not worried at all. If he wasn't drinking then yeah I would worry. Jonathan is usually up by 8am for his bottle then the next one at 12pm, so he won't be sleeping. But he might be sleeping in the car. Can't wait till 2m.
I put olive oil in Jonathan's hair last night, left it overnight, gave him a bath this morning & washed his hair & now the cradle cap is all in his hair, is this how it suppose to be? Should I have left it over night or should I have just left it for 1 hour then wash it?? Any advice would be appreciated
Tasia.. you could try just gently combing or brushing it out? But yeh thats what is meant to happen.. for it all to come off from his scalp.. its just like dry skin. It will all just eventually fall out of his hair.
Either way it wouldnt really matter. You can leave it over night and it will be fine. I did that with jesse with the baby oil and even sorbeline. Just make sure you washing all out thoroughly before he sees any sun.
I bath Keira every 3rd day too. But i would proberly just wash his head each day (or more if you wish).. (you can just do it over the bathroom sink), put a new lot of oil or whatever on it as the washing also helps removed the skin.. and just do it until its all gone. Also would just try to keep his head as clean as possible during the process too. It just depends on how thick the skin is for when it will get better. But usually once that layer of skin is gone it should hopefully be it.

Kell- Thanx sweety for that I really appreciate it, & sorry for being such a drainer
Ok I'm off to watch "Day's Of Our Lives" I should be back on later 2n. If not then Mary, Feeb & Jesse I shall c u all tomorrow, Ciao ladies, enjoy the rest of ur day xoxoxoxox
Havent been on much lately coz Ive actually had time to do housework without having to hold DD. We went out for dinner last night & left her with MIL & I was expecting to feel guilty the whole time we were gone but, it wasnt too bad. We were only gone 3 hours. She had her first bottle of EBM while she was there and apparently it went well. But she was really clingy when we picked her up & when we got home. Its nice to be missed sometimes lol coz then I got cuddles all night.
Im back into my pre-preg jeans now and weighed myself and am only 4kgs heavier than I was pre-preg. So Im annoyed because I wanted to stay a size bigger.
Mel - Yay on the fluffy mail, I need to get my butt into gear & order some more for DD but I dont know what to get aside from itti bitti's & bumG. We're not having much luck with the older style magicalls, she out wee's them in an hour so I need to buy or make some boosters for them.
Tenny - Yep Ive still got the mushy brain too. I forgot to pay our bills & our rent this week & it overdrew the account nearly $500, coz I have a separate account for direct debit bills & havdnt transferred the money across.
Melb girls - enjoy your meet tomorrow, soory I cant make it. I have a health centre appointment at 1030am as well. If anyone wants to come Im having a linen party on Sunday, it just a social thing but I can PM my addy & phone no if you want to be there
Ayapi - Congrats on getting the housework done, feels good doesnt it LOL
Kristy - cute pic, we are geting family shots done on Monday, fingers crossed they turn out good.
Kel - Happy birthday to Jesse
Hello Pixie, Bear, Belle, Missy and everyone else I missed
Sal - yeah I'm not liking my magicalls either - gonna sell em. I'm using a lot of fitted nappies and covers for DD with great success...... and I'm still about 18kg above my pre-prego weight - meh - ya get that...lol
Kel - hehehehe
Mez - yay on getting housework done. i've got heaps done today too!!!! (still got heaps I could do though)
Hmmm.. think someone is doing a poo poo whilst on my lap... lovely....
Mel - Thanks. Photoshop helps my picture look like that. I wish I had that natural glow happenin'. Lol.
Kell - I'm glad Jesse had a good birthday. YAY! Keira sleeping through the night. That's great.
Missy - Hayden coos or makes noises like he's talking. Some days more then others but not overly heaps. I don't remember Elijah doing it lots but I could be wrong sicne it seems forever ago that he was a baby.
He smiles lots and lots and even wakes up smiling and in a good mood. Haha. He likes to just watch Elijah and smile at him. Last night Elijah was playing with his hair and he thought it was great and had the biggest smile on his face.
Kristy - Your photos are gorgeous.
Mez - I'm glad you got to enjoy your shower today and get the housework done. That's great. I'm sick of having quick showers too as well as trying to drown out the whinging/crying while I'm having a shower. Lol. Great to hear the forumla change is going well.
Tan - I hope Jayden's foot is better today. Good luck with the xray if he has one tomorrow. I'm shy aswell, so I wouldn't have done the antenatal class deal either.
SW - Thanks for the message on FB about the cat. I'm still convincing DP about getting a pet. Lol. Fingers crossed for me.
Pixie - I hope you had a great day and your hair looks fantastic. I hope Beth was a good little angle for the Bear.
Skittle - I'm glad you had a great time out to dinner and your little girl behaved for your MIL. YAY! for fitting into your pre-preg jeans. I'm still working on mine. All this loose skin is getting in the way.
Syd & Melb meetups tomorrow - I hope you all have the best time and all the kiddies are little angels and show that butter wouldn't melt in their mouth.
Hi to everyone else
Would you believe I had so much trouble trying to find a hat for Hayden. My god, I wouldn't have thought there would be none in his size and all miles too big for his litte head. Disappointing bigtime! Hayden was very patient with me and trying on different hats to see if they were ok, so that was good.
It's funny that every Thursday when the cheeky chicken is at preschool Hayden decides not to sleep during the day so I don't get to have a nap.
Oh yeah, we finally got both birth certificates today. It actually came quicker then Elijah's one. Just have to get a frame for the fancy one.
Hi girls
Sounds like everyone's bubs are growing nicely and all the mums are enjoying things.
Belle has started to sleep a lot better during the day after our visit to Ngala and getting medication for reflux. She is sleeping especially well today after her 2 month needles yesterday.
Kellxx, I'm very jealous of your full night sleeps. Belle generally only feeds once or twice in the night, but teased me with a 9 hr sleep twice a couple of weeks ago. She has since remembered that her stomach is the size of a ping pong ball and is now waking up again to feed in the night.
Hope to be around a bit more when my ISP actually lets me open the BB websites!
Pam
Well Ive had a nice day with the kiddies and a girlfriend and her 2 boys too. We went to the Ettamogah Pub and had lunch and the kids played on the play gym. It was a great day and the weather was fab.
Kristy love the photo hun. he is so cute.
Kell im not as worried now and I evern think he is hearing me so im relaxing abit more now.
Anastasia it doesnt matter if you leave it in as I do all the time. You just brush it out. Do you have one of those soft baby brushes. They are really great. I have a peter rabbit one and Its so soft and I just brush it out if I see some. I always put olive oil on Liam and leave it. I put it all over his body. I bath Liam every 2 days.
skittlebub YAY on having some time to yourself. I know what you mean. Its so nice when the kids miss you and you can cuddle. My DS Callum who is 2 1/2 calls cuddles HUGGLES as I think he gets hugs mixed up with cuddles and it comes out huggles. I so love it, very cute.
LOL at some one doing a poo. Liam seems to get me when he is having kicks (not nappy on time)...lol
Tenny yes Liam is watching Callum all the time too. Its so cute. Callum always goes up the him saying "hello bubba" then kisses him..I got Liam's birth certificate on Tuesday, so 8 weeks one day it took. It was faster with Callum's. Oh how cute about the hat and how he was a good boy.
Well all better head off. See ya syd girls tomorrow.
Pam.. oh i wish it was a full nights sleep. My oldest is waking all night and has been since he was sick 4 weeks ago now. So i really havent had a full nights sleep since Keira was born.. even though she is sleeping through which sux!
Ok sorry to cut it short.. have to bath Keira then go to bed.. opps its nearly 10pm.
Missy: I said that to the LC that it may be that she is just warm and cosy. Glad you had a good day with the kids and your GF.
Rach: Was your hair appt today? If it was how did it go? Did Beth need the EBM?
Kristy: I hope the boys sleep through for you soon....It would be too early for habit waking/feeding wouldn't it? That's Jayden's problem I think although we do have some good nights. Love the pic!!
Mez: Woohoo on the house work! I should have done more today, but its so hard when Jayden is home cause he wants to "help".
Kell: Lucky you having 2 kids asleep at the same time today! Ashlea decided not to sleep too much today but she was happy in her bassinette while I was on the bike and unpacked the dishwasher.
Melb/Syd girls/guy: Have a great day tomorrow,....I am so jealous! Can't wait to go down to the Sunshine Coast...What day is better for you Mel? Sat is probably better for me as Chris will want to go home Sunday as he has work Mon. I find out what time we are heading back.
Tasia: I wouldn't leave it overnight but only because of it going on the sheets...its probably good for him the longer its on though.
Those that bath their bub every 2 or 3 days...is there a reason for that? Nothing against it, its just I had a conversation with SIL#3 not long ago about it...I said that Ashlea wasn't getting a bath that night because I was too tired or busy or something, anyway she almost had a dig at me as her girls got a bath EVERY day no matter what. I said there is no prob as they don't get dirty or sweat etc so if I don't have time there is no problem. Just curious on other ppl's thoughts on that.
Sal: YAY for getting out for dinner! Glad you didn't feel guilty. I went out yesterday and did a couple of things without either of my 2, I didn't feel guilty...it was great to get things done quickly!
Tenny: Always the way when you have time to sleep and then someone stops you haha. Will Hayden lay with you in bed and maybe doze off? Ashlea is pretty good if I just leave her in her bassinette, she usually dozes off. I haven't got Ash's BC yet, not sure if its even been charged to the CC yet.
Pam: Thats great Belle is sleeping better! How did she go with her needles? Ashlea gets hers in just under 2 weeks
Well Jayden's foot!!! He was crawling again this morning then mid morning he was walking fine on it then running and jumping on it! Was it you Kell that said Jesse did the same thing? Unbelievable! I had just made the appt for his xray too, I waited to see how he was after his sleep and he was still fine so I cancelled the appt. I'm so glad its not fractured and I don't have to carry him around any more!
Tannis - We bath every 2-3 days and just wash with a facewasher everyother day. The midwives at the hossy & the health nurse have said only to bath every 2nd or 3rd day because it removes too much of the natural oil if you bath them every day. I dont think it really matters though
Tan - yes hair appt was today and went fine, Bear fed her at lunchtime and then we met my parents for lunch and I fed her at home about 3.30. She has been a bit unsettled in the evenings lately, hoping it is just the cold, which is still lingering on.
Was going to post earlier but sooooooooo tired today! Just waiting for DD to go to sleep just fed her and she's in her cot with her eyes wide open.... mel, tenny, tannis, sw and melb girls, wish you could come to the meetup tomorrow, have fun in melbourne.
Kel, I'll pm you my mobile phone number in case we are late or can't find you....
Look forward to seeing the rest of the sydney chicks tomorrow and everyone else!
