Hollo Cookie had it on head as-well, but you couldn't tell as she has a ton of hair.
Found out that the disposable nappy wipes make her break out in a rash, so only cloth & water for her from now on.
Hope everyone is well :)
Trinity that is why I am using the tissues and Cetaphil beacuse they say water takes away the barrier the nature provides.
hi all,
we got a king size bed on the weekend, it is so good to have the extra room with 2 adults and 2 kids all sleeping together! LOL.
linda, how did the cofee club go? i didnt get to go cause we were driving all over the place looking at beds.
trinity- thanks for the info about the baby acne. it seems to be multiplying! i cant wait til it clears up.
our nappy rash has pretty much cleared up now which is great. it is a bit of a hassle using the cloth wipes all the time, gotta wash em regularly. i am so lazy! :-/
dont really have much else to add, we are plodding along. some good days some not so good, i guess that is life with a baby though!
take care.
Hi Guys :)
Not really much to report here....our nights are going pretty well at the moment. I am a little excited tho.....Josh finally has a cloth bum :dance: Hes only been in it about an hour, but still its a start! Hes been grizzly ever since I changed him, hopefully nothing to do with the new bulky butt! Not sure how DH will react when he changes him tonight lol he was all for us going cloth, but I think thats only if Im doing the hands on stuff :rolleyes: Josh is getting afew pimples too, I thought they were mainly a breastfeeding thing....so much to learn! Other than that we are cruising along pretty well
Hollo I bet the new bed is wonderful....especially with 4 in there!!
Treena I hope you are feeling better and the boys are behaving for you!!
Hi to everyone else and hope the bubs are all doing well :)
Hello all. I am still alive. I think we have definitely hit the 6 week growth spurt because my little one has turned into a guts!! Hoping we are almost at the other side of it because I'm exhausted and I have my best friends 21st this Friday!!
Hope everyone else is going well. Still loving my baby carrier!!
Take care xo
Yes we are going through the 6 week growth spurt as well, she has a bottomless tummy, im exhausted. Heres hoping we are coming out the other side as well :pray:
Ella has baby acne as well, when it is supposed to go away?
We have her six week check up this week, cant believe she is growing so fast
Ella had her batism yesterday and she managed to sleep through the whole thing, i was worried she would be screaming for the boob in the middle of church, but she was great
I get upset when people (like a bossy MIL) make me feel like a bad mother, she pushes my buttons. Sometimes i feel like yelling at her but then think she is not worth arguing with. She makes herself like she was a perfect mother. She watches me when i am breastfeeding giving me advice, grrrrrr :wall:
Hi ladies sorry I went MIA for a bit.......
not much to say either, baby acne here as well.
So jealous of the king size bed Hollo, I've wanted one for ages for the same reason as you lol.
Getting lots of smiles & babbles from Noah lately, woo hoo !!
Jo :hug: Hope your doing ok.
Kell the milk pimples will come & go till around 6mths, Some babies will just have it worse than others.
Helen Yay for a cloth bum, What brands did you buy?
We are also starting the 6wk growth spurt, seems like she's feeding every 2hrs again. It will be interesting seeing how much she has grown at her 8wk check-up. Maddi grew 6cms between 6-8wks.
Kodi had her 6wk check-up today, she's now 4.4kg & 53.5cms with a HC of 38cm.
She is such a happy baby now, always smiling & babbling, i love how she's getting more personality now.
Doing ok Mo, went & seen the cancer lady & have surgery booked for June, they don't know how big they have to go till they start as there are lots of small cells all around where the tumor was.I guess it wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't on my face.
Am hoping this isn't going to interfere with BF'ing.
Hope it all goes well for you Storm
Thats great Mo with Kodi weight and length, sounds like she is growing fast. What brand of cloth nappies are you using?
Ella and i are off to our new parents group this morning, im very nervous, hope they are nice
Did everyone have a good night last night?
Wow so many of you are hitting the 6 week mark already.....it still seems so surreal to me! Ive got Josh's 6week appt booked, not til the end of next week tho. Planning to get a check up for myself too, and hubby pointed out last night I might wanna think about going back on the pill.
Kellbell So glad Ella's batism went well for you...we are still deciding if Josh will have one or not. Sorry to hear your MIL was giving you a hard time tho..they can get abit that way huh. Stick to your guns and know you are doing a fabulous job!! Good luck at your parents group :)
Trinity Kodi sounds like she is doing really well with the growth :) So far I just have Josh in a combo of prefolds and flanny flats. Still searching around the net to do some "fluffy" shopping...so if anyone has any advice Im all ears :)
Storm Hope youre doing ok and the surgery in June goes well...will be thinking of you:hug:
AFM we are still having good nights and kinda rough days. I guess I shouldnt complain too much tho, least its not the other way round!! I bought one of those singing night light things on the weekend and that seems to have helped settle him at night. Im wondering if its possible he is having an early growth spurt....during the day we are back to roughly 2 hourly feeds, but then he spits so much of it back up Im hesitant to increase his bottle size!
Hope everyone else is doing well and getting some sleep too :)
Kell i got given a bunch of fitteds with Maz covers for Cookie & the AIO's i have are Ecobubs-Berry Plush-Itti Bitti & Swaddlebee.
Enjoy your parents group :)
Jo-Know that i'm thinking of you :hug:
Hope it doesn't effect you b/fing either.
Helen You can trying burping Josh more during his feeds, That may help with the spitting up. Sounds like he is drinking it too fast & getting lots of wind.
BBL with nappy info :)
We had another good night here, Noah seems to be in the pattern of going down around 11 having a quick BF around 6, then again at 8 then lets me do the house work & gets up about 11.30.
I'm using bumg's, hautes & happy heiny's, although they all still seem a bit big around the legs & I need extra boosting through the night already LOL.
Had him weighed last week & he was 4.075, gaining slowly, but surely.
Helen, Noah has to have a burp often during a feed otherwise he'll spit up after, he generally burps while feeding !! Typical male I guess. You could make Josh up a smaller increased bottle, I used to do that with Zac, if he is having a 120ml, them make up a 120 & 180 & then tip the extra from the 180 to make them even, saves wasting formula & gives them a bit extra when they not ready for the whole 180ml.
Must go finish off this housework before the little guy wakes up.
Thanks for the well wishes, it means alot. I wish I could just forget about it though!!
selfish post coming-- hehe
there is something going onm with Chelsea at the moment. she seems to be quite unsettled, she wants a bfeed then shen she gets on she pretty much pulls off straight away or doesnt even try to attach. if she does start to suck and i havent felt my let down straight away she complains, but then when the let down does come along she complains again! it happens more with one side than the other. and she isnt going to sleep easily either. i just dont know whats happened. anyway, just venting. hope she gets back on track soon!
double post
Ok quick update on us:
Went to MCHN yesterday and was not happy at all she did not even know what to use on nappy rash :( had to go ask someone.....I was so dissapointed and angry at the service. She tried very hard to push me back to breast feeding after my GP and I had just decided that day that my iron levels were taking too much of a hit so we will continue with expressing and slowly intro formula over the next few weeks.
Good news Charlotte is now 3.9kg 52cm long and head is 38cm so growing well.
I have my grandmother and brother staying with us this week so guests in the house but all seems to be ok.
Got some Moogoo for the nappy rash I hope that works :) and 1st formula bottles have gone well we will be replacing the 12 feed at this stage and we will also see if she will make 4 hours between some feeds.
We have watched happiest baby on the block can see some useful things in there so will try those in the next few days too. Have got some slings as well for Charlotte and she seems to be settling better in those. The aim is now to get her to sleep more in her crib during the day and then in the night.
She is focusing on things and starting to smile which is really cute too :)
:hello: to everyone thanks for letting me get things out will catch up with personals later I promise things got busy in here over night
Hollo, have you had something different in your diet? I found out what I can't eat by Noah's unsettled days, although they do have the odd bad days anyway.
Grrr to the mchn Linda, they really annoy me at times too. Do what ever you feel is right for Charlotte.
oh poo crying baby!!
