HI all.
-
Xavier slept from 9.30-630 last night !!!!!!!

jess, there is nothing to be embarressed about,as you said you wern't expecting your period yet, so it wasn't actually normal for you. You did the right thing. Wow eathan eats a lot. I just started giving xavier a little baby pasta in his meals and mushed up instead of pureed and he got a little backed up, so i had to switch back to pureed apples for a day.

Floss, glad to hear all is going well at your end. No need to rush back to work, I wish I hadn't had to. But it's not because of xave going to CC or me havinf to work, I think over all, it's that I would have more time for me above anything else.

V, hugs on your yucky day. Get it out 'cause it does feel better. Next I wouold like to welcome you to my world for the last hmm month or so. I hear you on the dad's getting up and helping, but I have had nathan helping and it's really not much help. I have finally got xavier better over the last couple of days 'cause I knew I didn't have to get up and go to work, so my sleep didn't matter as much.
My biggest fear now is that after a couple of days of CC he will be back to his old tricks.

Raels, thinking of your nephew and his family. I hope the little tacker gets strong very quickly. No chocolate here, I think we have a sensitive tummy, chocolate might hurt. Hot cross buns on the other hand, he loves to suck on the fruitless one. doesn't actually ingest any, but it sure is fun.

Sacha, funnily enough I don't think Xavier is getting his colds/infection from CC. I swear nathan always has some sort of chest infection (he dissagrees), plus MIL was on antibiotics for something recently. I always have a snuffy nose. Fingers crossed though that he does build up good immunity.

Jas, Xavier has been confusing me with food/milk latley. sometimes he wants them at the same time, but these days on the whole we actually alternate. First thing in morning i offer milk. wait about 30 mins, then offer breakfast. I send 2 bottles to creche and he will normally have about 10.30ish. he has vegies around lunch time and then another bottle in the afternoon, then home for tea, after tea he might have one or 2 more milk feeds. I have found he will go anywhere from 3-7 hours in between milk feeds.

Sara, I think Xave has had choc flavored milk for the last 7 months

Sarah, hi, Xavier has been sleeping badly as well, and i think that it's been a bit of everything with him. The major contributing factor for us I think is that he is over tired. MCHN also said that he might have formed som habits that we have to break. We are in Bendigo, and the weather has been horrid here latley and xaviers sleep first started getting mucked up at the begining of summer. The last few days have cooled down and he has much improved on the sleep front, now that I can tuck him in nice and tight!!
Was your first bub a summer or winter baby. Xavier hates the heat but too much aircon and he gets angry.

Well we had an alright easter. we have had sleep, and chocolate, not Xavier. He was given chocolate and anything that was a nice brand I ate, and anything else like the stuff that comes in the boxed sets like the bunikins ones I chucked strait in the bin, 'cause that stuff tastes awful.

Back to work for me tomorrow. Fingers crossed he sleeps at creche so he's not overtired tomorrow night and wants to be cuddled all night. I admire anyone that is woken more than once a night and can keep their calm. I already have on of those thoughts, I won't do that with the second bub, and that is go back to work at 6 months. It's so much harder to get a good sleep routine. It's like I don't know when to put him to bed anymore, and I have to re-learn everything again and again.

Well gotta go
