Hey there!
We belong in here- just. Ollie (DS#2) was born March 17th, induced 8 days early because of no am fluid. He weights 9kg and is 72cm tall. He has half a tooth and not really into food yet, doesnt really like a bottle to drink from but will take as much BM as he can get. Hes been crawling since he was 5mths, sitting since he was 6mths and now walks round his play pen holding on to the side and throwing all the toys out for his older brother (2.5yrs) to throw back. Ollie loves music and will "dance" any time there is music.
Nice to meet y'all and look forward to reading about your bundles of joy
Been super slack of late & haven't been here for awhile & there is a bit to catch up on but wanted to say a few things...
Congragulations CM on the baby news I have thought about going for number 2 but as my sister is getting married I don't want to be pregnant or have a newborn at the time of her wedding
Congrats Nina on your wedding, you looked beautiful, loved all the piccies.
Just wanted to mum2willie & doubletrouble to the thread.
mum2willie, we don't have a routine in time terms but have a certain pattern to the day IYKWIM? I have read that bubs won't always take bottles from mum cause they know the 'real' stuff is there, is it possible that someone else could try bottlefeeding him some EBM for some of the feeds? are you wanting to change his routine or cut out some of the day b/f while you are at work? are you working fulltime/partime cause I know some b/f babies hold out until mum gets there for a drink by not drinking much (which is managable if you are working either partime or a few hours a day but not ideal if you are returning fulltime) & making up for it at night, are you wanting to avoid that too? have you tried a sippy cup? we have tried the fancy 'no-drip' ones but he is a bit confused with those, we finally found an old fashioned cup like I had back in the day that was so much cheaper in the camping section in coles & he drinks water from that, sorry so many questions but hoping to nut something out that would be suitable for you.
Well really need to get to bed, will be back later
Welcome doubletrouble. Ollie sounds like a lot of fun!
Nic, nice avatar, what a babe! Haha, my brother is getting married at the end of November so that gives me a bit of time to get myself looking semi respectable!
Your pics are amazing Nina!
Lol Hayley how did you resurrect the muffins?
Macca this pg I am very nauseous all the time. With Flynn it was only when I was hungry. That's really the main difference.
Julia I don't run by the clock by any means, but our day looks a bit like this if we are home.
Wake up usually around 7.30 -8 (if he is up before 6 - 6.30 I usually resettle him), bottle (approx 150ml) followed by weet bix shortly after.
Play time
A nap (at least 1.5 hrs) about 2hrs after wake up.
A snack (fruit or some rice rusks) and some water
OR lunch depending on the time (lunch is usually a sandwich followed by a
bottle (again ~150ml))
Play time
Another 1.5 hrs nap approx 2hrs after being awake
play time
Afternoon snack (fruit and yogurt) and water
playtime
(maybe a nap if he 'out of it')
Dinner
Bath
(sometimes a small play)
Bottle
Bed
I usually make 200ml bottles for him but he generally only drinks 150ml. He does take water easiest out of a bottle, he has a no spill cup but when he works it he gets a big gush and then ends up spilling most of it out his mouth! He does drink from just an ordinary cup too but he has the same problem as the no spill cup. He might have another bottle at around 10 if he has had a bad day (that is hardly any milk or water, he takes more when he is 'asleep'). I think if I were you I'd try and drop the 10 and 4.30 feeds (tho probably just one to start with) and give a snack and water instead. (Flynn prefers water that is room temp or lukewarm)
Don't know how much that helps. Good luck.
How long are you in china for double trouble and are you from Australia originally.
Julia - we have just started a new 'routine' but it is now starting about 640 then first sleep about 9ish. Next one around 2. In bed around 730. MEals and plays interspersed. Bf is usually just after he wakes. I try to top him up before a sleep but most often he doesn't want anything.
My son 'E', I don't use his full name on the forum plus I am lazy. He is about 9kg over 72cm tall. He also has 8 teeth.
Hi to everyone else
E is now combat crawling. Started yesterday at 8 months. He is into everything. He loves power cords and drawers. I so need to child proof.
Hidee hi campers!
