My gosh Satya.. if Brock is overweight at 6.45kg than Coop must be obese LOL He is 7.8kgs and is super long 72cm. Im not short (182cm) and DP is considerable taller than me (bout a foot, maybe footnhalf) so he is going to be tall. And despite weighing so much he isn't fat or chubby just solid! How long is Brock? Like Brook I don't think Coop gets all that much in his tummy (did I mention that a few posts ago) and as you said better than being underweight! Hope Brock's needles were as fuss free as needles can be!

Wanted to type more but i have a grizzly bear - needles, teething, car accident doesn't make for a happy chappy.. BBL

Hi everyone, man I haven't posted in a while have I!!

Tan sorry to hear about your scary accident, I'm glad to hear that everyone was ok though.

I have been quite busy with work and also at home with some happenings on in my family at the moment, my SIL just broke up with her partner of three years so they are having dramas and I've been trying to help her out with that.

Can't remember whether I mentioned but I put Josie on formula a couple of weeks ago and I am really happy with my decision. She's doing great on the formula and hasn't had as nearly as many tummy aches as she got with breast milk. A lot happier all-round too. I'm glad to have my body back and can't wait to go to the shops and get myself a nice bra again! Sick of these horrid maternity bras. Yes they are comfortable but you just can't wear anything nice with them on!!

Josie's needles went well, she didn't have any reactions to them at all. She grizzled for a while and then was completely over it. She didn't even get drowsy like she did last time! It was back to her normal routine!!

Hope your little ones are doing well. For those who have started their bubbas on food, how long did it take before they started actually eating? Because Josie is still spitting her Farex out. Granted, I haven't been giving it to her regularly...

Hi girls

I havent been on here as my laptop has died so atm im using DF Scotts.

Satya: some nurses are a pain in the bum saying a baby is overweight yet they dont do anything at this age..... well why say anything??? 6.45kg thats not extreme for a boy baby!

I havent had Alistair weighed or have i taken him back to HCN since he was 8 weeks old!! I cant see the point as he is thriving, wet/dirty nappies, sleeping, have wake periods, gurgling & smiling, good head control etc etc and his head doesnt look abnormal etc .

I go to the Gp for his shots which are due again soon which im not looking forward to but oh well they need to be done in my eyes!

I was wrapt the other day an old ex (friend of 20 yrs) came around after 12 mths (left me and scott alone so we could get establisged with out him the old flame hanging around he quoted that to me ) and he met Alli and it was just super. Scott is getting used to us remaining friends but he will have to get used to it !!

Must go and have a glass of wine and dinner

Cheers Ainsley

Well all did not go to plan (as usual).

Brock had a temp so doc wouldn't do his shots. He had a temp last time too and we have to put them off for a few days. I had so many delays with things during the pregnancy & now it seems the same happens whenever Brock has appointments. It looks like that's just how his life is going to be I think.

Gave him panadol and he's all OK. Have to go back next Wed. We've had two doc trips between Brock and I this week and we will have two again next week (maybe even three if he's not right on Wed). Thank goodness it's a bulk billing clinic.

Ainsley - I haven't been game not to go back to the health nurse. It's like I feel I'll get into trouble if I don't or something. I'll be back at work by the time his next one is due so I don't know if I'll go for it. The woman also told me to get his neck checked by a chiro as he was leaning to one side and she saw in the notes he was doing this last time. Trouble was last time it was to the left, this time it was to the right. So I don't think we will bother.

Tan - Brock is a shorty. Really short. 59.2cms therefore a bit chubby - he doesn't have big rolls or anything, but he's well rounded with a chubby face. His cousin has the big rolls so I guess she must be considered obese (I must ask her mum). Maybe it's in the genes.


Emma - I'm glad formula is working so well for you. It was the best thing I did when I switched from BF & doing top ups to doing FF. The trouble is you don't see a lot of support for it, particularly on BB. I was lucky the lactation consultant I saw at around 5 weeks said that Brock had already had all the goodness he really needed from my milk and that everything else could be provided by formula from then on. It made the decision a lot easier for me.
