Bf going fine, i think the ducts on the bottom half were damaged and the ones up the top had to compensate. Went to the chiro yesterday and he used this fork thingy (haha not sure what its called) and he said i have either fractured or broken my ribs, my whole body from neck to knees were out of whack i was so sore last night, got summy checked too hoping he could help with the constipation, it was mainly her neck sore and her upper back between her sh blades are always tight from the way she is on her tummy pushing up and when he was feeling it it all popped so that was easy. She couldn't stop smiling and cooing at him was cute.
Danni, might be teeth causing nappy rash and the red marks on the back of the neck Summer gets that all the time, on her its like a heat rash it comes and goes and sometimes it looks really red and sometimes it is like little spots.
Gotta go kids are all in bed still, its going to be another mad dash to get them ready for school.

Morning girls,
I am soooo tired today, but feeling better after having a coffee..... I am always so tired once I wake up, I wonder how I will cope when I do go back to work..... I think I will just have to make sure I go to bed when DJ goes to bed so I am not so tired the following day.
SJ - yeah I agree, my husband and I are gluten intolerant so we provide all gluten free foods to DJ in solids. The teething rusks I have are gluten free as well. Doni has more problems with gluten than I do. I will just bloat up all over my body, break out in hives or get yeast infections. Ah the joys, Doni will be in alot of tummy pain from gluten though... So yeah, we will be doing the same with DJ since he may have the same problems as we do. And yeah christmas is coming. haha yeah I just need summer clothes for DJ since I don't have any so just want to layby some for christmas time. I only ever buy clothes for him when they are on sale. Oh and not sure what the talk is on, will find out at 10am, speaking of which I better get organised if I want to be walking down there.
Skye - oh coolies, I should look into the infant led feeding..... and on the pumpkin and sweet corn mash, DJ loved that. I have been getting a few small jars the only organic brand just to see if he likes it then I will make it myself. I made a big batch of sweet potato puree and he didn't like it at all, so I figure this way at least I know what he likes and then can make a batch.
Trina - omg you really hurt yourself :( take care of yourself sweetie. Good to hear the chiro did some wonders on you and Summer. I have to go back to my osteopath. My knees are playing up big time, but my back is sore etc and I think my hips might be out of wack and that is why my knees are always playing up. Hope you are feeling better sweets.
Danni - DJ can get red blotches on the back of his neck and it is caused from the velcro on the bibs.... It looks horrible but I figured that was the cause since it was the only thing on the back of his neck. So maybe that could be the same for Jazz :)
Another nice day in Sydney, walking down to the shops to hear this talk (not sure what it is on yet). Will get some new teats for DJ's bottles as well, he is much preferring the 3 teat over the 2 teats now. I suppose he is two weeks off being 6 months old. Decided to get his 6 month immunisation done while Doni is on leave and before I go back to work. It will only be 1 week early but at least if he gets sick I can deal with it while I am not at work.
Anyway better get cracking, take care everyone.

Just got back from the MCHN. She agrees that its more than likely eczema on Jesse's back, not ringworm, but its not a big deal. I'll just take him back next time it happens & say Ha! told ya so! I probably won't say that, but anyway.
Asked her about infand led solids. She wasn't to keen on the idea, but was ok with me starting to give a bit of rice cereals into him. I haven't told her he's been having bit here & there anyway.
Rang the paed office. Our appt is next Thursday. Glad I remembered now! I think I made it about 2 months or more ago. Gotta remember to ring her psycologist & let him know.
Trina - Hope your feeling better soon. Glad the chiro helped though. I must see one one day. I've had back problems since I was 12 & have never really done anything about it.
SJ On my ticker - 18weeks 6 days til christmas. Something I'd rather forget!
Danni - Jesse is getting nappy rash here & there too. I just make sure he gets plenty of air time. He's always had marks on the back of his neck though. Strawberry mark I think it is? A birth mark anyway. He's the first of my kids to have one.
Shell - I buy the 4 month ones & mix them with a bit of farex. I was doing it occasionally, but I'm gonna try doing it every night now. I tried fingers of pumpkin. That was funny. It was too mushy. He's getting the idea now though, so I might give him a bit to try again in the next few days.
I will buy some vegies & make my own mash tomorrow.
OK. Gotta go ring this psyc & my mum. Guess what? My Mummy's coming to visit!! I can't wait!

Hi Girls,
Re the solids and milk discussion. When I introduced solids, Caitlin cut right back on her milk and the MCHN said that the milk was more important and to give her a full bottle (she still only takes 140 - 170ml per bottle) and then an hour later give her some solids. She has a bottle as soon as she wakes up and goes straight back to sleep for 2-3 hrs and then she has her 2nd bottle and then an hour later has Farex or kids weetbix for breakfast. Then 4 hours after her 2nd bottle she has another one and then an hour later she has either some fruit puree or valia baby yoghurt and then an hour after her next bottle she has mashed vegies - I made up a batch of potato, pumpkin and sweet potato and put it in the freezer in an ice cube tray. She eats about 2 ice cubes worth. Then to keep her happy while we are having our dinner she sits in her high chair at the table and sucks on a rusk. She has a final bottle before bed and as of last night she also has a serve of Farex after the last bottle as she has started night waking again and the paed said to try it and see if it helps her sleep through. It didn't last night but I will give it a few nights to see. I was giving her a roll over bottle in her sleep before I went to bed but that didn't seem to make any difference so we will see how the Farex feed goes.
I have only just tried Caitlin on #3 teats, they flow a little quick for her but I don't think it will take long for her to get used to it. I found that you could really hear her sucking with the #2 ones and she was starting to get more wind again so I think it was the teats causing it as she was sucking so hard!
