There are many issues that you will encounter as a new parent. We have put together this list of useful articles and threads in order to assist you with some common questions or issues you may have, and to provide you with bit of extra support that we all need as new parents:
Please contact the Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) or a Lactation Consultant if you are concerned that you may have breastfeeding and/or supply problems, and before the introduction of solids.
Sorry I haven't been around much lately...promise i will catch up soon. Submitted 1st assignment yesterday, 3 to go! Amy had a big fall yesterday, she climbed in her pram and tried to climb over the top and it went over. She is okay but she has scratches/bumps and bruises all over her face, poor baby. She is her normal happy self though. It's my 14th Wedding anniversary today and DH came in to work with a 3 course picnic lunch which was fantastic. Also went to the museum but it was a kids day so a little nuts in there. Talk to you soon.
Al is doing much better, thanks for asking. Vanita it helped to change over to using the syringe for the antibiotics, he has come to accept it, even though he doesn't like it.
We have been back at day care this week, and he likes it there now. I am still with him while we're there and not sure if I'll ever get tough enough to walk out of there and leave him behind. DH is now determined that Al should be going there. So we are at odds at the moment about that and a few other things. In fact if I wasn't so far from Australia I think I would be there right now
wonderful to hear about Rylee and Kelsey, Kate. Great that Kelse is enjoying sleeping in her new room.
Congrats on your 14 year anniversary Gemma, that is wonderful for you.
Hope Maya is okay Brooke, and feels better soon. Best of luck with the new job.
Also get well soon to little Jonah and Bec
Preg is going okay thanks Bel - except I have done my back in - what with carrying Al up all the stairs we have here and the extra weight I have as well, I'm sure things can only get worse....grrr (sorry I am a misery guts girls).
Best go and try and sort out my life before Al wakes up
Hiya girls, my we have been chatty, am at work, and have a difficult patient, so this will be quick.
Kate, lovely to hear from you, I still carry Rianna and Dion out to the car, one at a time, and I still have trouble leaving them alone together (they push each other over ) I used to put Dion into his bassinette if I wanted to go to the toilet. Rianna was 12 kg at 2.5, and is just now 14kg at 3. ( that was a fabulous gift too, oh can you email me your addy i have a little something for Rylee too)
Deb, glad the syringe helped.
Gemma, poor Amy. hope she recovers quickly. wow 14 yrs!!!! WTG Are you the longest married couple on our bb group??? Ladies anyone else longer?? DH and I are coming up to 10.
Brooke, hope Maya doesnt have another ear infection, as I have said before Rianna grew out of them about 2.
Bec, hope the ADSL doesnt take forever.
Love to all, gotta go take my turn at Mr difficult.
Deb, sorry to hear that you and DH are having troubles, bloody men! They can drive us insane. I have vowed to teach Coby the nice way to treat people in his life, not just women, everyone! Compassion, that's what they all need in LARGE DOSES!! Hope you are feeling a little better honey xxoo
Not much to report from our end, just the usual stuff.
Have finished my xmas shopping, what about all you girls? What are you getting the bubs for xmas? We have bought Coby one of those outdoor gym/climbing house things with the slippery dip attached...Im sure he'll love it. Plus some other little bits and pieces, I just know that he will get heaps from everyone, so we're going easy with him this year....
Brooke, glad to hear you got a diagnosis on Maya. Hope she picks up soon for you, its awful when their sick all the time, I had Coby sick for about 6 months at the beginning of this year remember? Just awful. Keep the claratyne going and hopefully that will work for her.
Kate, thanks for the pat on the back re the teaching compassion etc. Its nice to know that there are people out there that think those things are still valid. I know in my grandfathers day if he had treated anyone poorly, he would have been in trouble, so I don't see why we can't be the same with Coby, not that he'll be in trouble, because we are going to teach him right from the start how to be a decent human being! I know Im gonna sound like an oldie, but today's kids are just atrocious!!
Super Coby has had a big of a funny day today, I went to work (yep went back temporarily for one day a week, just til the end of Nov) and MIL had him, and he's so out of wack with sleeps, he was beside himself tonight. :eek: My house looks like a bomb has hit it, it is actually dirty, there are dirty dishes left around and just muck everywhere, omg she's such a grub! Wouldn't you think that if you were in someone else's house you'd at least try and clean up after yourself?? She even left Super C's dirty nappies hanging on the back door - mmm yummy smell when I got home today in the heat!! For goodness sake, take 'em out to the bin!! I really shouldn't complain I guess, she's doing me a favour minding him, but geez lady, clean up after yourself!! Its making double work for me at night.....
Matt's going skydiving again tomorrow, Im nervous, I had a bad dream about it the other night....so hoping he'll be ok....
Hugs Kate, I know this "X" is rude, and a know it all, but just remember, You are the girls Mother, and what You says goes, firmly and gently correct "X" and then apologise for her ignorance ( at the same time give her a nong nong look)
Hey you will be fine darlin' Kelsey will learn that she's still loved, just not a solo anymore, and being so young, it shouldnt take long for her to adjust.
Good to hear she's sleeping a little better, and you know its not just the lack of sleep making you tired, you are feeding two people, and your body wont have recovered yet ( It takes approx 1 yr) so give yourself a pat on the back, and a well done.
PS, Im always available for a hand if you need it!!!
Brooke, it sounds like Maya is going great guns!!!! Dion knows when he's doing the wrong thing, and tries to hide it ( as he's always into mischief) he hardly talks, just "ung" and a pointed finger. Good decision about the job. your schooling is so important to get completed, now before you get to be an old tart like me, with 4 flea's hanging around LOL.
Hmmm, now for the personals (this is gunna be brief!)
Bel, nothing wrong. Got AF felt like cr*p, then got thrush!! OMG, I could barely walk! Went to Melb for a few days last week and weekend and now trying to get cows ready for show on Saturday. Phew!
Poor Maya. I hope she feels much better. Gemma. congrats on 14 years. Wow. Vanita, Pup doesn't talk either and mostly has no idea how to relate things to what we are talking about. Must be boys and taling a while to catch on.
Good to hear that Al is on the mend. Best wishes in coming to a agreement with DH Deb. Kate. Great to hear that things are going well with the little miss. Tell X to F*ck off. LOL. No seriously, I know that this has been a thron in your side for some time, and I hope that you can sort something out. But on the other hand, some people need to be spoken to bluntly and only then do they come to respect you. This is what it sounds like....they have no respect for you or DH.
Oh God, I know I've forgotten something about Heather, Beckles....others!
A learning improvement this week. Pup has learnt to recognise the word "socks". He is forever pulling his socks off and I am forever looking for them. I always ask him where his socks are. The past couple of days, he's gone and got them and bought them to me! The other thing he learnt while in Melb was to associate the bark of a dog to a dog. When he heard relatives dog barking, he would come to you and say "woof woof".
But that's about it! Not a lot more, especially unprompted.
I have started my third cycle of clomid. ugh. God I hope it works this time round. nothing much else to report until after the BD fest.
As I mentioned above, we have the show this weekend, so things are starting to get into the swing here. Washing one cow tomorrow and then other and calf on Wednesday. Not looking forward to getting all those bloody dags out of the tails. I have hosed them off a couple of times already and given them a bit of a scrub, so they are not too bad. They'll look 1000000% after they have been clipped. I bought a halter today (a show one). Cost me $90. Hope it gets here by Friday at the latest.
That's about it from me. I might be a bit scarce this week, but I'll be popping in and out....
Well DH is back and it's lovely. It was a busy weekend as once he was back on Saturday, Viv and I had to get ready for her skating competition for Sunday. We had to be on the road before 8am which with DLS was a little bit hard. It was a long day - we were there from 8.30am until 3.30pm, but she did very well. I think I played hairdresser to about 6 or 7 little girls. It was fun doing their hair in fancy styles.
Blake's sleeping well since sleep school - he's a totally different boy now, and even asks to go to bed. Unfortunately he's picked up a cold and is quite snotty. He's coughing a lot a night which wakes me from the next room and he's needed Dimetapp sometime in the wee small hours. Hopefully he'll come good soon.
We're on TWW here at the moment. Actually, I'm overdue but I dont' want to do a HPT cause when we were trying to fall pg for the 5yrs before Blake arrived I bought so many and they were -ve so I hate rushing out to buy them now cause I hate that let down when it's not +ve IYKWIM. I'm just waiting. I have in the past had unusually long cycles so I just let time do it's thing. I'll either get AF, get fat, or DH will be sick of not knowing and he'll go and buy a test (like he did with Blake). I'm not super confident cause my boobs aren't sore and they were with both Blake and Viv... who knows! Watch this space.
Kate, I'm sorry you're having problems with X again. I wish it was a simple as ignoring them and not socialising in the same circle. I know that's not possible. I wish I had a magic answer for you honey, but you have my love and support. Big hugs to you.
Hay, which show is it that you are attending? Viv is still talking about it, and coming down to your farm! Perhaps not the farm this weekend, but I'd love to get to the show to meet up with you and see your cows, and Pup and DH if they are there. Please can you email me any details to the email address on my profile page. Thanks honey.
Brooke, I'm so sorry to hear that Maya is so sick. Big Blake hugs to her and big Rachel hugs to you honey. It's so exhausting to look after them when they are so unwell and just want to be held. I wish I was closer so I could help you.It sounds like you are doing all the right things - tepid baths, panadol, Antis etc. I'm sure she'll pick up soon.
Hi Bel, Gemma, Vanita, Sara, Heather. Hope you're all doing well.
Quick update... BFN - I didn't actually think I was, so that's ok. But where the heck is AF? Not the I really want her, but I can't start again without her! IYKWIM!
Thanks Kate. I really didn't think I was as our timing was pretty bad due to DH work. I've told him that if it was a BFN this month, he better look out next month as I want #3 ASAP
ETA... I'm still not giving up as I got a BFN with Blake 15dpo, so I'm only 19dpo... so who knows. Until the 'fat lady' sings, I'll just go about doing what I'm doing and wait and see.

Hey Rach, good to see you back, so glad the sleep school worked for Blake, lets hope it keeps on working for you guys. Bummer about BFN, keep trying, you might get a BFP in a few days.... fingers crossed.
Brooke, you sound a lot more settled now with that decision, so obviously that was the right one for you honey. Poor Maya, its just horrible, hey? Don't you just wish you could get them to lay down and have a rest or at least blow their noses or something? Its just horrible, but I guess its all part of the journey. Fingers crossed that she is feeling better in no time xxoo Oh, how's nanna? Is she on the mend??
Hay, great to see you back. Bummer about AF arriving, wicked old witch!! She's just left me after 3 weeks. Glad to see the tail end of her!! Good luck with the show. And Good Luck with the BDing this month. Have they actually checked to see if you are ovulating on the clomid??
Kate, poo to X, what a control freak!! I know its easier said than done, especially when its a relo, but you just keep sticking to your guns. LOVED the comment about the "turn" and "she's not the latest novelty" good on you! I reckon when you have a baby (or 2) you get a bit more gutsier (is that a word???) I know I've said things that I wouldn't ordinarily have said, but you've gotta be their voice I guess, poor little poppys. A bloody turn, that's just ridiculous!!
Hey Vanita, what's doing in your part of the world?
Not much doing here. DH didn't end up skydiving, it was too windy. Bummer, he was really looking forward to it too, oh well...
Coby is going well, talking a bit more, well he's at least trying anyway, tee he he! He understands so much now and can get you things you ask for or at least take you to what he wants, its such a fun age. He has a bit of a cold at the mo, not too impressed with it either, I just dunno where he would have got it from...probably one of the ferals at swimming last week....
And YES to all those who asked, my MIL is feral. Her house is a pig sty too. She's just lazy and dirty. She was here again yesterday and I had to clean the house from top to bottom today, there was food and crumbs everywhere, just a pig!!
Sorry for the absence again. DH had I had a big row last week but we're sorted now. I reckon it was a bit of an after-shock from Al's illness. Maybe made us both realise how precious he is and how important he is for our relationship too. We are back on track again now, which is a big relief.
Al has been at day care twice this week, for an hour both times and he loves it. In fact he is miserable when I take him out of there, screamed both times. This is a day care and a kindy attached to it. Both days Al has wandered in to the kindy and played in there. Maybe he thinks the babies in day care are too boring? He was playing cars with a 3 year old girl when I picked him up today!
Its snowing here already. The cold weather happened quite suddenly so it looks like it is good timing to have him in a day care now and then, as it will quickly become dull for him hanging around our tiny place with just old mum.
Brooke - how's Maya doing? I wouldn't worry about her getting convulsions as they are quite rare. They reckon only 3% of kids will ever get them and I think Al has our group covered now. Hope she's feeling better..(Hugs)
Kate - congrats for surviving the first day alone with both girls! I hope that infection of Rylee's clears up toot sweet . (sorry have been watching Kath and Kim dvds since I was feeling a bit home sick) Bloody x sounds like a pain in the arse. Some people!!!!! I agree with Hay about the **** off.
Hay - oh damn AF bloody bloody. And thrush. jeez. Hope you did some good retail therapy while in Melbs. Good luck with your cows at the show.
Rachel - yay for Blake! OOhh saw the thread in preg announcements and got excited....but it wasn't you...hope it isn't too far off.
Bel - MIL are nightmares. Can you give her some big hints???Spose its good she's looking after Coby,so can't be too upset with her.
Hey Vanita, What's new?
Bec - whats the story with your ADSL? Any chance of getting wireless in your area? The whole of Denmark is able to get broadband now thanks to wireless technology.
