Hands up if you have a night terror baby.. T woke up screaming at 4.15am - well he didnt even wake, he was just hysterical. Once he had calmed down, he was fully awake and stayed that way until 6.30am this morning. Just got back into bed and DH's alarm went off. I am exhausted.

Em - Olivia sometimes wakes in the middle of the night, like she has had a dream, I just give her a cuddle and she sinks into me holding my waist sobbing...its so sad but once she calms down she goes back to sleep....she has only done this a handful of times though.
Sorry I haven't been around much, have been in NZ and then got back and had SO much washing and baby food making to do....today I am walking around the house bored
I haven't had time to read everyones bits but will do so today.
Does anyone have their babies on 3 feeds yet? That is 3 solids and 3 milk? I want to start Olivia on that, maybe tomorrow and see how she goes.
Does anyone use the organic jars of food? I do sometimes but make most things but I have a few organic stage 2 and wondering if anyone has used them? I want to try a few on her but some of tomato through them, only little bits and I haven't given her tomato yet so I am not sure. I also bought her some baby yogghurt to try.
Well Olivia is awake so must get her up, she probably did a big one in her nappy.....GREAT LOL!!

Em - what is up with that? Our babies doing it on the same night, and Sacha's as well. Has Tom done it before? It freaked me out a little cause Oliver has never done this! He is the most calm and placid little baby, hardly ever cries and when he does I can always settle him. Last night I felt useless. His little voice is really hoarse today too from all the screaming, but he is he happy self again. Hope that doesn't happen too often.
Flossie - Oliver is on 3 solid feeds a day now but is demand bfed so probably has between 8 and 10 milk feeds a day. Some of these are quick 5 minute ones. I have tried the organic jar food but only in the fruit. I have been giving him rice cereal for breakfast, fruit or yoghurt for lunch and vegies for dinner. Planning on offering some meat very soon.
Someone was asking about playpens not long ago, sorry can't remember who??? Just saw one in the kmart catalogue for $80.
Megan - hope your little man gets better really soon and I hope it doesn't go through the rest of the family.
Well I'd better run, having visitors today and need to clean up a bit.
Have a great day mummies and bubbies.

Hi all,
jemima, I had actually started expressing early on as we had a few wedding last year, so I had enough in reserves when I went back to work. Expressing at work is going well but sometimes I do worry that I'm not getting quite enough milk, but then I have a really good day and get heaps. Working is tiring, but I just take it one day at a time.
re this night terror thing, what you guys are explaining sounds like something Xavier does probably about once a week. Generally either a good burp or cooling down helps Xavier out. it's like he screams because something whatever it was has woken him up when he wasn't ready and it's a big shock.
Cuddles from mum always help, and sometimes a change of scenery is good too.
em, Xavier is still only on one feed a day, but am thinking about introducing breakfast, for this reason I have switched to plain vegies at night, and then i'll give cereal maybe with fruit for breakfast. We have some apple pear and apricot and some sweet potato, carrot and zuchini in the freezer. I hope to find time to freeze some potato pumpkin and broccoli this week. He has tried sweet potato, carrot, banana and apple so far.
OOO and I've found that vegies are much more enjoyable for Xavier when you mix them with bb milk.
Megan, your poor little bub, what about putting an iceblock in the wet face washer if it's not too cold.
Sacha, the broccoli story is very cute. Did it tickle her lips?
Xavier has started making the Da and Ba noises. lots of Da da da da, so I make nathan go to him when he calls that out in the mornings.
raels, I don't leak very often, but i can kinda also feel when i have a let down but it doesn't leak, I don't know how to describe it though.
Lol nicky, I think that Lach is far from being a nuffa. Maybe that is a bendigo thing.
I'm with you, if they call dad at 2 am, dad gets up!!
The whole idea with offering milk first is so they don't fill up on food, so if you portion control it shouldn't be a problem which way you do it. Xavier has started an annoying little habit of feeding around 3 am and then not again until 8.30-9am, which means he doesn't get a feed from me before he goes to crech, so I'm thinking about throwing in sime solids at that time.
danielle that's a good point about warming the water, that's the same with xavier, nothing cold is sllowed in that boys mouth.
Well, I hope to be back in before sunday, but if not happy birthday V. And Xavier will be 6 months on Sunday too, so I'm a little excited.
Well best be off

Grrr - another bad night.. I am wondering if he is going through a wonder week - i was just reading a bit about them on the net and thinking its a possibility. I cant keep up with all the changes - in the space of a day T has started to suck his thumb (which is kind of cute) and god help me - discovered he has a willy.. Nappy free time and bath time were very interesting yesterday! His father can deal with it - i am not equiped to cope.
Sacha - i am the same as you with the fresh food feeder. I use it occasionally for food now but it is soooo hard to clean. I mainly just stick a bit of ice in it on hot days as T isnt really interested in a cup. I know you gave Autumn some broccoli, what other foods have you given her whole? I might try it with Tom - up until this point i have been worried he will choke.
I didnt end up getting the Saftey sleep - i bid on a few on ebay but they sold for as much as new one so there wasnt really much point. I have just been tucking his sleeping bag into the bottom of the cot and i think he has become a side sleeper anyway. He's also a little bit over the amazing fact that he can roll - thankgod.
Jess - hope the moving went well. Sorry but i laughed when you said DH came home and said you were moving tomorrow. Men!! I am so sorry about your cat - i had to put my dog down a little while ago and it was heartbreaking but she was in so much pain (cancer) and it really was for the best.
Hope everyone has a great weekend - happy birthday for tomorrow Veronica, hope you get really spoilt!
