Babies Born July 16th - 31st 2008 #4

[Ayapi]

Morning lovely mummy's and babies...

Mel - I realised that Isabel was only having 4 bottles over 24hours and thought it wasn't enough so I decided to try out dream feeding her at 9pm and it worked. she was asleep when I feed her and went straight to bed afterwards until 2:30am. Have you tried that rather than waking M?? Wow 200mls Izzy is still on 150mls but once she turns 3 months I think I'm going to up it to 200mls.

Tannis - Woohoo you're coming to Melbourne that is wonderful, will you have time to have a catch up with us Melbourne girls?? We would love to meet you and your little ones Maybe we can tee it up for when SW is here too.

Kell - I'm so happy that your little girl is so settled like you said you had a hard time with Jesse so you deserve to have one good settler in your family I wouldn't be apologising for that. Have fun this morning with Kristy and the kids.

Missy - Oh hun I really wouldn't be stressing about your weight, I am the same as you wanting it to come off straight away as I have a wedding in December and none of my lovely dresses fit me. I think that it might be cause I'm older so it's taking longer for it to come off. I like need to lose 6kg to get to my normal pre-pregnancy weight. I'm sure it will happen. But we don't buy junk food anymore otherwise I just eat it during the day cause it's quick and easy.

Tasia - Sweet I would just tell your DH to full his head in, he needs to chill a little cause you're doing a great job looking after his son and it's a full time job. I really don't think they understand that. Plus we have to look after the house, cook, wash and everything else that us MUMS do.

Zee - :hugs: to you sweet, maybe little Lucas does have colic like Kell said have you seen a doctor?? I feel for you and just remember we are here for you no matter what!

Oh I better go I can hear Izzy talking to herself in bed, another 30min nap man this girl doesn't like sleeping...

[Missy]

OMGosh. Liam just giggled. It sounded so cute. I forgot how it sounded but how sweet it was.....

Ayapi..yes im not going to worry anymore as im starting a diet om monday. oh Izz hun maybe needs more bottle. to stop the little sleeps. When I up'd Liams to 200mls he is sleeping 1-3hrs during the day. Just a thought hun.

[kristy J]

hey guys

kell and i had a fantastic time today. but we usually do. it was an early one today so we miss the midday sun 8am at the park we played for 2 hours and then went to richmond to watch Fifi on stage and we both bought the boys shoes each. FYI their is a shoe shop in richmond (called Zorans) and 9/10 they are having a sale, they sell great quality kids shoes (nike, adidas, rebock, etc) for only $29 i got ike some really nice dress sneakers for $19.95. they have nice ladies and mens shoes too.

syd mums - What does everyone think about a park near windsor this meet, we can take turns where to go. its about 30 mins from my place and about 40 from 7 hills way. we can meet closer to other houses next time to make it fair.

mel i dream feed to but i don't pick them up i just give them about 75-100ml in a slow feed teat its enough to fill them and they sleep longer. i use a slow teat so they don't get too much wind so i don't have to burp them.

Ayapi just wanted to say hi i haven't really spoken to you directly in a while. CC is a pain in the bum the QV oil is ok but i would buy some Tricology shampoo (Delorenzo make it) it is for sensitive skin and helps cradle cap. sometimes moisture can make it worse. What colour is it, cradle cap is yellow ish. scaley scalp is white. it is recomended to use oil for CC and pick it off and moisture for scaley scalp.

mel (again) me too re DH and cartoons. i have 4 kids how about you?

missy i wore a corsett to my reunion no flab in sight but shhh its a secret. and woohoo on the giggle how cute.

ok my boy just came over and i think his bum has exploded the smell is rotten BBL if i can

love to all

Have you tried that rather than waking M??

Well she wakes up when we pick her up to give her a dream feed - so I don't wake her - she wakes up. DS was different - he would sleep and eat. She doesn't. If she is asleep, she doesn't suck.


Missy - yayy.. that is sooo cute!!!! Miss M hasn't giggled yet - she does this screech kinda thing when smiling - so that could be getting close.. lol

[Ayapi]

Missy - I'm just feeding her at moment and trying 200mls so I'll see if see will drink it all. how wonderful of Liam giggling it's so cute hey. Izzy giggles when her daddy does the chicken dance it's adorable.

Mel - fair enough.

[Arimeh]

Mel - fair enough.

I hope you don't think I was being b!tchy or anything - just saying what she is like. Its a pain in the ar$e that she doesn't suck unless fully awake..

Not like her mother who can do three things at once - must take after her father.. pmsl.

[Missy]

Ayapi let me knw how she goes...lol...at the chicken dance

Arimeh lol@ three things at once and dh not...so true as my dh cant do more then one thing at a tme...

[Ayapi]

Mel - Oh not at all, I was just feeding and unable to type anymore as she was being distracted. LOL at multi tasking and DH not, it's so true mine is just the same unable to do two things at once.

Missy - she has just finished took her a little longer than normal but she has left like 10mls so she must be ready for the 200mls now lets just hope she will sleep longer

I think someone was telling us about cradle cap and what we can use on it other than olive oil can that person let me know as Izzy's is getting bad. BBL she is a little grizzly so time for bed...

[Arimeh]

Mez - I use a mixture of bicarb and olive oil - mix it into a paste and smooth it on.. leave it for a few hours, shampoo it off. I know Kel uses baby sorbolene though.

[ShootingStar]

Howdy all!

Well the boys had a great morning at the park!
Missy.. cool re Wednesday! The park is great! Its on Haweksbury Valley Way opposite the Raff base. The kids love seeing the planes take off.. Callum will love it! Plus the park is so nice.. lots of equipment for them and space to run around.. and a little coffee shop for us to get a coffee at!
Anyone else is very welcome to join us.

Mez.. yep i found only sorbelene worked for Jesse's. You just put a fair amount on, rub it in. Leave it for an hour or so, then wash off with baby shampoo vigerously.. then towel dry vigerously and repeat until gone. It worked a treat with Jesse's. I tried the oil but was too oily and didnt really work.

Missy.. oh how cute Liam giggling! I dont think Keira really has.. more cooing i think with a smile.. i remember Jesse never did until about 7 months or something.

Tannis.. i noticed Jesse's moods changing after a day or 2. So y eh hopefully his will too very soon. He still has his grumpy times and tanties.. but he just listens alot better now i find.

Ok have to run..

[Missy]

Oh cool Kell

I know where it is. As for Liam giggling I was shocked too. I was smiling and talking to him and then I rubbed my head on his tum and he giggled...I then LOL and it scared him then he cried. I think callum was about 16 weeks when he did. Ive been trying to do it again but getting lots of coo's and smiles but no more giggle. It looks like he is about to do then he will coo instead...Oh well it was very cute..

[kristy J]

oh cool missy thats 3 of us for windsor park (opp Raaf base) who else is coming??????

[ShootingStar]

Missy.. oh so cute!!!! haha! Keira actually screams/squeels. When shes happy and youre talking to her she will squeel so loud. Im surprised Jesse isnt awake, even after being so tired from this morning. OH COOL! Wednesday will be fun! What time is good for everyone??

[kristy J]

Early

[ShootingStar]

Early

Yes! I agree.. esp with the weather getting hotter. Anytime from 8am is good for us.. so yeh just depends on everyone else.

[Ayapi]

Hi Kristy - I'm really good sweet, now that you mention it her head is scaly and white not yellow so I don't think it's CC. I have put some QV moisturizer on her head and see how that goes. Was thinking of leaving it on all night but I don't know now that Kell said to wash it out?? How are your gorgeous boys??

Tannis - that's cool hun let us know what day and we will organise a get together.

It's a gorgeous day here in Melbourne today I actually feed Izzy outside on our porch today but only for a little while cause she was too distracted and wouldn't feed. The weekend is going to be lovely too so looking forward to that!!

[kristy J]

Hi Kristy - I'm really good sweet, now that you mention it her head is scaly and white not yellow so I don't think it's CC. I have put some QV moisturizer on her head and see how that goes. Was thinking of leaving it on all night but I don't know now that Kell said to wash it out?? How are your gorgeous boys??

well than the QV will be perfect its pritty gentle so leaving it on should be ok. just be careful out in the sun sa the cream can make her burn. i would do as kell said cake it on leave it for ages or even overnight but wash her scalp maybe with QV wash to get rid of the excess. most people think their baby has CC but most of the time its just scaley and dry. actual CC looks like it is lifting from the scalp yellow in colour and can feel a bit wet in extreme cases.

DS is being so good he is so tired from today he is sitting watching TV. the twins r asleep.

might go and cook dinner so DH doesn't have to do it. spag bowl tonight. i cook the best spag bowl.

chao

[Ayapi]

Thanks Kristy - I will keep it on overnight and wash it tomorrow. I think she has that behind her ears the CC cause it is yellow and wet. would I treat that the same way as I would have for her head?? I have baby metho I was thinking of using that??
