Dee - im sorry to hear your still having settling issues. I read in a baby book somewhere thats warm baths/showers help a baby settle ( but im sure you have heard everything on the subject of settling ) another thing we did ( which killed my back but settled Aneta ) was holding her and bouncing lightly on the fitness ball ... right now Aneta is on 240ml every 4 hours. But my parents had an identical problem with my sister as you do. She would only settle for awhile after a feed ( formula fed ) so they kept feeding. A GP told them that this was making it worse because the babies system had no time to " rest " because it kept getting fed. My sister is now 16 and taller than me ( hehe ).. but it did last 2 years and no one could find out what was wrong. What im trying to say is that sometimes there just is no reason for it ( or at least a reason we cant easily find ). Im wishing you heaps and heaps of patience and I hope you get some rest, if you lived in Perth - id come and watch bubs for you so you could rest
Hey girls,
Sorry i haven't been on here in ages, i have just finished reading everyones posts. Neeny you know where i have been again I have started Tee on solids already, not every feed though. 2 more weeks and i will have to give her her 4 month needles, definately not looking forward to that.
I have been so tired and feeling sick lately i just don't know whats going on???
Went to the doctors yesterday and told him that my periods haven't returned and it's been 8 weeks, so he is sending me for a whole heap of blood tests- every hormone you can think of and wait for it A PREGNANCY TEST!! All i said was i ****in better not be, honestly girls if i was pregnant again i don't know how i would handle things, fingers crossed i'm not.
Also had Tee weighed she is now 9 pound :eek: But is very long and thin so she doesn't look 9 pound. Wow i can't believe some of your bubs are already in 00 or 0 its amazing how different each baby is in growth and development.
I also took Tee to her first show as it was the wagga show lsat thurs and friday. We went thursday night- me, DF, Tee and my bestfriend Mel. It was so much fun except for the fact that i nearly made myself sick on the rides and paid for it the next day as it actually hurt my belly and scar...as the muscles were being used really hard without me realising but dr said that was normal as the muscles are only just getting used to being used full on again.
Tee might get her first swim in our pool on Thursday as it's supposed to be in the 40's....i'm definetly getting in, and i bought Tee her little floating seat thing to go in the pool yesterday so obviously it was perfect timing. Except for able to go swimming i am not looking forward to the heat as both me and Tee can't handle it.
Anyway gotta fly
Hey girls,
Me again. Forgot to mention Tee's latest phase. She is sucking on peoples toes, it feels so queer but i think its gross how can i stop her? :eek: :eek:
June Mummy - im crossing my fingers for you that you are not pregnant, i know what you mean though, my gosh, if i got pregnant again im sure i would have some sort of breakdown. I hope you can find out whats going on!
Ali - yes lachlan does take a dummy but at the moment he is pulling it out with his hands (accidently) but when he is upset and i try to give him a dummy he absolutely screams. Strange hey!
Enigma - come over here anyway!!!!! I would love you to come and look after him for me!! Good to know that Aneta is on 240ml. i thought i was giving him too much but id say that is how much he needs, i just dont understand why he is waking so much, surely its not hunger! i dont want him to end up overweight either!
Well, havent done much today at all, its been good, DF was watching the race at Bathurst on TV so that means a pretty boring day for me, luckily he got called out for work so now im cruising the foxtel (lachlan is asleep by the way YAY!!)
Anyway, i guess i should go and organise dinner while i have a chance.
Oh forgot to say DF got Lachlan to sleep last night, he is so proud of himself. I think its done wonders for his confidence too!
Ummm, June Mummy, how about ask people to stop sticking their toes near her face to start with??? Dee - if the formula thing doesn't make a difference, just know that you can revert to BF, even though it might take a bit of perseverance to relactate (but might not, you never know!), if you want to go back to it. Call the ABA hotline if you do, they can get you on the right path. Enigma - yeah, there are worse things than your partner taking too much responsibility, but I can see how it would bug you, by the same token.
Gotta head off to my dad's now - managed to watch another DVD this arvo Oscar's been a zen child lately...what's the catch?
