Missy - could it just be a bug or something? Sometimes they make ya puke at the weirdest moments - and then seem to lie dormant until something else sets it off? Anyway, I hope he feels better soon - I hate vomiting.
Tenny, Tenny, Tenny - my love. Please DO NOT listen to your b!tch of a grandmother. Tell her to SHOVE her opinions where you know I would say to SHOVE them. Her opinions have no reflection whatsofreakinever of how you mother your children, nor should they EVER.
Repeat after me - I am a GREAT mother... I love my boys... I would die for my boys... and TO HELL with anyone else who DARES to give unwelcome opinion about something that is none of their bloody business.
Either that - or tell me where she is and I'll tell the nasty cow a few things or two what to do with her freakin opinions.
Anyhoooooo - after I just gave Tenny's grandmother a mental serve...
DS did a wee in the potty today - I was sooo proud!!!!!! Wasn't so proud when he then began playing with the wee - but the main thing is he knew what to do on the potty and held it in whilst running from one end of my brothers place to the other where the potty was saying, "run.. mummy hurry... hurry"... was quite funny...
DD has been quite unsettled and has a bit of a temp. I think DH is taking her to the docs tomorrow - he is on holidays now - I've still got a couple of days left of work.
Anyhoo - best be off getting stuff ready for tomorra!!!
Well hubby & i went to Ikea to look for pull out bed. We want some, but hubby wasn't too sure about measurements. we r going back before he's off to Vietnam.
Kel- hey sweety. yeah i have tried giving him cooled boil water, he's not interested.
Missy- hey sweety, yes he does have dummy i do give it to him. I stopped wrapping him when he was 3 months old. I rather not go back into wrapping him up again only because he hates it, he keeps fighting it & we r getting warmer days sometimes, i know there are light blankets, but i prefer not to. Jonathan is having 2 solids a day, he's having brekky in the morning & as of 2m i will start him on potatoes. I was thinking of contiuing giving him puree apple in the arvo??
Anastasia - maybe he's waking up a few hours after a bottle because of a bit of wind? Do you burp him after you feed him at night?
And I wouldn't be too concerned about him still waking at night for a bottle - its not uncommon to have a baby still waking up during the night at a year old for a feed - I know DS was still waking at around 4am till about 6 or 7 months or something - and that was with a feed at 10pm as well. Maybe he just needs the stuff in his belly yeah? I've always gone by the thought that if they wake up for the bottle, they must need it, and they'll drop it when they are ready, not when you want them too.
Sorry if that sounds harsh, but it sounds like you are trying everything to change his sleeping habits - and maybe its not his sleeping habits - but what he needs to eat that is more important.
Not every baby sleeps through and drops feeds early.
Mel- Yeah i do burp him after every bottle feed. Nah man ur not being harsh, i think i am changing his sleeping habits, i will stop. As for him waking up in the middle of the night for feed i will give it to him, if he's hungry, he's hungry.
That's the point I was trying to make - if he's hungry - just feed him. Don't worry about setting up bad habits, or anything like that - he's a baby - he's just hungry. You don't know if he's going through a growth spurt or anything like that, and I don't know about you - but I'd feel awfully guilty if I tried for a couple of hours trying to get a baby to settle - and it turned out my child was hungry and just needed a bottle!!!
The bottle is always the first thing I try when my babies wake up - cos if its hunger - its easily solved. Those nights where nothing seems to be the problem - and they reject the bottle - then its time to bring out the big guns !!!
