Welcome to Ami and Elliott, hope you enjoy your stay with us!!! My name is Alisa, my daughter is Olivia and she just turned 1 last Monday and we had a BIG party Very good pregnancy, terrible birth with a 3rd degree tear NEVER having a natural birth again. But Olivia is a dream baby (well that remains to be seen...stay tuned to below), she slept through the night from very early....she must get that from DH. DH and I have be together for 8 years...I think, from DEC 99 till now, married Jan 06.
Ok, trying to keep up sorry if I pass anything:
Sacha - I have been wanting to get Livvie a pillow but a bit worried, the health nurse said not to put anything big in her cot, but they can get thigns off their heads now so I might try it during the day.
Ami - I am the same as Sacha - we are going to wait for another year to start trying again. I want Olivia to be old enough to do a few thigns for herself and plus I need to make sure I can have a ceaser hehehe
Janno - that is interesting that your friend is delaying the injection, is anyone in here delaying it?? I haven't made the appt yet but I think I will for this week. Olivia is teething so I am just going to get double the pain tears I def understand thinking about not doing enough with Olivia. She does the same with her books, she will look at them herself and flick through the pages but when I go to read them she just wants to look at them herslef!
V- how are you feeling? Def use the Vicks for babies SO good!!
Well I am having trouble with Olivia and her milk. This is from a baby who couldn't get enough of her milk!!! Last Monday she refused the night bottle I don't know if the coincedence of chaing to 1-3 formula or not but Tues she was ok. The Fri she refused again ad I have't been able to get her back to driking it. Hav tried it in a sippy cup, have tried full milk in a sippy cup and still she cries and hits my hands. She is happy (apart from the teething) and sleeps well, funny thing is she drinks HEAPS more water!!! Its like a big turn around, I don't get it. MHN says that as long as she gets yougurt, cheese and milk in cereal it should be ok.
Olivia LOVES the phone, she says pointes to it when I ask "where's the phone" and when it rings she looks around for it!!!
I feel like there is not enough time to feed Olivia all that I have to as she has about 3-4 hours sleep per day! But this is what I give her:
2 weetbix and a banana for breakfast. I was then giving her 100ml of milk but she don't want that anymore! So I give a yoghurt instead.
Lunch is a sandwich (tuna or vegemite) and 2-3 different fruit
Dinner is meat/chicken and vegeies.
Snacks are biscuits, fruit, crackers, cheese. She always has water on offer
