I've found a good treatment for nappy rash! My FDC lady told me that a mother of a child she used to look after was very much into natural things and used to use lavander water on a tissue to wipe and it always cured / prevented nappy rash. So I decided last night to cut up some nappy liners (that I haven't used because I only have a few clothies and am too slack to use them). So I've cut them in quarters, I soaked them in some warm water with a few drops of lavander oil and a bit of sorbaline. Wrung them out so they are just damp and put them in the huggies wipe containers. I'm also using sorbaline instead of any nappy rash creams or powders and the redness is decreasing.
I had to stop using commercial wipes because they all containe a bit of alcahol and poor Jazz would scream when her bum was getting wiped coz it would have stung.
Just dropping in quickly.
Gotta be at school for open class at 12.15, so better shower & make myself presentable first!
Just wnated to have a winge really, there's a thing on at the oval about 5 houses up from us & when they were setting up & testing the sound they were doing it at 10.30 - 11pm last night!
They had the music so loud I freaked! We have 2 cars in the drive way & the music sounded at first like it was coming out of a car. So that scared the cr@p out of me, then it got louder & started echoing through the house!!
I ended up getting up the guts to go out side to find out where it was, but I'm not happy!
Then they started again at 7am this morning!!!
Its going now & I just wanna punch someone! Its really annoying me!
Anyways...I'll be back later. Sorry for the winge.
Posting from Byron Bay (Doni brought his laptop with him - still has to check emails). Having a lovely time, we are staying extra night (Thurs) because we are loving it so much. I even got burnt today (silly me no sunscreen on me but plenty on DJ), but luckily we made sure DJ was well covered up. His first time to the beach, loved the feel of sand between his toes. We forgot to bring the camera along with us though doh!! Doni put his feet into the water but it was too cold so he didn't like it. Didn't have him on the beach for too long was too worried about him getting burnt and he was overtired. So, all good up here. We are seeing a close friend of ours while we are here. Had dinner last night and he is staying with us tonight so he can spend the whole day with us tomorrow. Going to Nimbin and Mullimbimby tomorrow.
Still no teeth but teething... Spoke to mum again and my brothers first tooth actually didn't come through until he was 1 year old!!!!! and in one week he got all 6 teeth within one week but was teething for several months beforehand.....arghhh so it could be a while before DJ gets his first tooth. He has been teething for 1.5 months now....
He loves his solids though. My baby food that I made didn't last for whole time so bought some organic baby food (no preservatives etc). It is the Only Organic brand and I find it to be really tasty and less like baby food and more like real food. Anyway he had pumpkin and wild rice today as well as pear and wildberries. Loved both of them We gave him a little bit of honey on our finger last night and loved that. Must have a sweet tooth like his mummy.
Skye - yes DJ cried when he was doing a poo. He is no longer constipated now.... thankfully but he gets it every now and again, still no tooth though.... and still teething.
Prama - welcome back and I bet Steve was over the moon to see you both woohooo can't wait to see you. Maybe next week?
SJ - oh how cute on the baby led foods..... DJ loves his veges and fruit. Haven't tried him on cheese yet....We gave him a very small amount of honey last night and he absolutely loved that!!! not too much just a taste.
Trina - oh how did Summer like the chickpeas?? It is interesting trying different foods with them. I couldn't store my freshly made baby food for the whole trip so bought some organic no preservative added baby food. He had Pumpkin and Wild Rice Mash today and loved it Also gave him Pear and Wildberries and loved that as well.
Sorry I have missed a few of you in personals, couldn't get to the other page....
Take care girls and will post again hopefully in next few days or when we get home on FRiday.
Shell - please dont give DJ any more Honey, it one of the ones that should never be introduced before 12 months... not for allergies, but becasue it can contain a form of botulism that can be dangerous to babies. check out this link Babies and honey
Thanks for the heads up SJ..... Didn't know that.... Luckily it was only a little on the tip of Doni's finger..... He has been fine since having it as well. I won't be giving him anymore after your post. Thanks again for the headsup.
I don't think plain chickpeas have much of a taste its hommous minus garlic lemon and tahini, i have been hiding it in the girls food too cos not much taste and all the good protein i put it in spag bol last week and nobody suspected a thing mwahahahaha *evil laugh*
