As for Olivia's bottles, she is on 1 in morning with 150ml and 1 in the evening with 200ml but I just got back from health nurse appt and she said to gradually drop them down till she is only having a sippy cup fo cows milk a day so will try that over the next week.
Happy FIRST Birthday Olivia
&
Happy Birthing Day Lis
(for yesterday)
Today is my day off from work and am waiting for Avaleigh to wake up so we can go to mum's and then got a few other errands to run today - its hard now with only have a few days off, well its 4 days off haha but I still like to get everything done asap..
Avaleigh is struggling with her conjuctivitis, runny nose and now a horrible cough!! Poor little thing... She had fun at her grandma's house yesterday, took probably half the day to settle in cause we have never left Avaleigh with her grandma but once she settled in they said that she was cruising around. She had a load of fun with her cousin!! And apparently she was showing him how to walk - he took about 10 steps yesterday so he will be running after Avaleigh before they know it! Its so good knowing that all the money I am earning is going towards my family and not paying daycare...
Jas - Thanks for the list again! I was wondering when the next birthday was. I think that Xavier may be in August cause he was fasionably late??? Sorry to hear about you BFN, wishing you all the luck on your next cycle!!
Lis - You can see Jem's cupcakes by going to the BB gallery, the link is on the top.. better yet.. https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...php?photo=7940 theres the link! Oh no about Olivia teething!! What teeth are coming through now??? Avaleigh has her 4 top teeth out and looks sooo funny! She is starting to grind them together now
Jem - great cupcakes!!! Those 'cakes' are awesome and such a good idea cause you dont need to cut portions for everything..
Em - Avaleigh is on 2 bottles a day as well as 2 breastfeeds. She has 150ml of cow's milk about 10am and then morning nap and then between 150-260ml of cow's milk about 2/3pm and sometimes she will have an afternoon nap, depending on how tired she is but can get through the whole arvo without one. I have heard its quite normal for bub's at this age to only have 1 sleep during the day.
Well thats as far back as my page goes so HELLO to everyone else!!
Well I better get off cause Avaleigh will be waking soon and I want to be out of her as soon as she wakes up cause lots to do this afternoon!!
All this talk about bottles, I wish my littlem man would take one. But he won't take milk in any other form than my breast, never has. I have tried 4 different types of bottles, 2 different types of formula, 3 different types of milk, 5 different types of drinking cups, and he just refuses them all. I'm getting a little fustrated at it. Will I be a milking machine forever???? I was hoping to give him 1 bottle of milk plus 3 breastfeeds for 1 month, 2 bottle - 2 breastfeeds for the next month, then 2 bottle 1 breast for a few months. But it's not happening.... Any ideas anyone????
Sleeps, he is down to 1 a day, has been for some time now. He goes down at 6:30 and is up by 7am, usually with a few wakes during the night, especially since his accident, he has been all over the shop. But would normally have 1 sleep of about 1.5hrs at around 1pm. Sometimes he would dose in the car if we were to go somewhere.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLIVIA! SORRY I AM A BIT LATE! HOPE YOUR DAY WAS FABULOUS!!
Sorry not much time here!! Busy busy with Lucas' birthday on Friday!! I have a mothers group party here on Fri and then the big party on Saturday! I think we have about 40 adults and 15 or so kids and babies! Fun fun!!
On the milk and sleep front.....Lucas is having a bottle as soon as he wakes in the morning which is anywhere between 7-8am (half formula half cows). Then he has a sleep around 10am for about an hour, and another one about 3.30 for an hourish as well. This is a bad time as it means he can be up later than i like but he cant function yet without the sleep and i cant push the morning one any later so we just have to deal with it for a bit. Still try and get him in bed by 7.30pm! He has a cup of cows milk before afternoon sleep (200ml) and before bed (100 or so mls). I will change the morning bottle to a cup too next week!
Mel, it took me ages to get autie onto a bottle (months really) In the end I think it helped most when I gave it to her when I knew she would be hungry (mid afternoon) instead of a snack. I propped her up on her flip out couch and let her watch Hi-5. Gradually she took more and more, though I suspect my milk was already on the way out by then and she actually needed it.
V, sorry to hear Avaleigh is still not feeling the best. Get some garlic into her! Must be nice to have time off and get back to her, even if she's not 100%.
Lis, I have heard that teething affects bottle feeding for some bubs. Maybe some Panadol or teething gel a little bit before would help?
Sarah, sounds like you had busy day. You must be full of energy to take on two more kids!LOL
Raels, thank you. That picture of Oli is super cute. I always love coming across that grin when I'm reading posts! LOL Walking is getting steadier everyday and she can now cross the room. Can't wait til she's park-ready
Well, my news is that this morning I tried Autie on peanut butter and found out she is allergic and had to call an ambulance She broke out in blistery hives on her face and neck straight away and then her eye swelled shut. I was not too panicky because she was breathing ok but thought I'd be better off getting her checked out by paramedics than trying to drive somewhere with her on my own, in case she got worse all of a sudden. So now she has to see an allergy specialist to find out if she will need an Epipen just in case. Apparently it's usually a year waiting list but my doctor got us in in September. So, no more PB in our house - and I love it (had to throw ole wiggly in, I do love him)
Naughty naughty - I am meant to be doing paperwork for DH but on BB instead..
Sacha - how scary!! Lucky you are so calm - I would of been a panicking mess. I might hold off on PB for a while here too.. just in case. I love love love your photo of Autie. She is super cute.
Thanks so much for all your replies girls about drinking/sleeping. Very helpful . Isn't it funny how we don't know each other in real life - but I think of you all as my friends and am so excited about all our beautiful bubbas and their birthdays!
OK back tomorrow hopefully for more personals and BIRTHDAY WISHES. I can hear DH coming - better look busy
Oh sacha Hope autie is ok..... Man i would have been freaking out BIG time if that was bayleigh Im shocking with all that sort of stuff
Thats good that your Dr got you in to see the specialist heaps earlier. Hope it all goes well
