Babies Born March 2007 #4

Karina - wow on the rolling over! Ari is trying so hard and woohoo on the sleep. I am just please Ari is going to bed at 8:30 and not stiring every 5 min :-)

Rachel - what a lovely idea for your FIL birthday, will have to check out TEDS as my mum and MIL like prints.

Yes our website is now up and running at nappybucket.com and so far we are stocking Natural baby company, Motherease, Imse Vimse Jamtots (berry plush and baby kanga) we are still waiting to hear form the main US suppliers and BBH (she is in Townsville so I'm hoping she will let me distribute) we are having a stall at the baby expo here in Townsville on the weekend so will be very busy for the next few days

Hi everyone! Sorry, it's been a while, we have been away.

Sonia - I can not believe this, I just clicked on your photo's and when I saw you and Mark, I was so surprized! I used to go out with Paul Biancuzzo and I was at your wedding with him!! What a small world. I wondered if it could have been you when you said you lived south of the river. Click on Jo & Keyt and you will see our pics. If you want to email me - keytandjo@iinet.net.au
Oh, gorgeous pics by the way! Kaiden is beautiful.

OMG... OMG OMG..
Jo.. how are you honey... jesus.. cant believe it.. what a small world perth is.
I still see Pauly, he is living in Success with his girlfriend.
I will email you at your home email.

Wow, it really is a small world!

Off to Adelaide tomorrow so won't be online for a week. Hope everyone has a good week. I just hope we have a good night as not looking forward to long drive. Take care.

Have fun Rach.

hi girls
well Kailee survived the chicken pox with only about 15 spots so was a very mild case!
but now the girl is wanting food, not bottle and of course i can't even think about starting her for another 5 weeks minimum so we are having lots of fights to try and get her to drink the bottle! Is anyone else having problems with bubs not being interested in drinking and just playing with it? It took me an hour and a half for her to have a bottle because she didn't want it tonight.

Richelle - Poor Kailee! I can't imagine dealing with chicken pox with a baby so young. Jas was 4 when she got them (and I got them then too!) and that was horrible as she was so sick! I am glad to hear Kailee is ok now. With the feeds, sometimes Nicholas can take forever to have a bottle. I just wait a while and then try to give him the rest about half an hour later. Sometimes he fusses around with it a lot, but I think that may be due to his reflux as sometimes swallowing may be uncomfortable for him. My MIL suggested giving him solids already, but I am definitlely waiting until 5 - 6 months.

Richelle Kaiden takes milk no mater how it comes he isnt fussy with his food so we are pretty lucky. Im sure Kailee will settle soon, speak to ABA or your health nurse..

Sarah, unfortunately Claires big sleep was a one off :( Back to the feeding every 2-3 hours overnight. IKWYM about being excited when she doesnt stir every 5 minutes though lol. Hope your stall runs smoothly at the baby expo.

Rachel, i hope adelaide is great and the drive is not too horrid. I couldnt imagine doing a long drive like that right now lol.

Richelle, poor little Kailee :( glad the chicken pox werent too bad for her though but still theyre never pleasant are they. hmm no Claire is still loving booby and bottle though yes she does play with boob sometimes , or gets really fussy with it (she'll normally take bottle straight away though, but she doesnt have bottle often). Sorry i cant remeber if you breast feed or formula feed? Anyway just wanted to say that yes Claire likes playing with it too. She puts her mouth near boob then licks or moves her head back and forth, and also looks in the other direction (distracted maybe?). Its so annoying. When she is like that, it takes a number of attempts before she will feed properly. I just have to put her down in her bed and try again later and after a while she will finally have a proper feed.

Went to the health centre today to weigh Claire and she is now 4.9kg. porker!
I had to go out today and get one of the tyres on my car fixed (they fixed for free and told me to "go get something nice for the baby instead", lol) Anyhow, I saw another baby there (10 weeks). So cute, but much bigger than Claire. Its interesting how some babies grow long and some grow wide. Claire is long.

ok wierd question: does anyone elses baby do green poos, or is my baby wierd?

thanks for listening. :)

Karina - Claire is not weired, Nicholas does green poos too! Quite normal according to my CHN.

Hello, OMG poor Ari has been unsettled today. It seems she is going to be lke her big brother when it comes to eeth, she just keeps crying out in pain, even during feeds. Went and got some bonjela today, hope it helps.

Karina - I think I heard green poos means too much fore millk? Check with ABA but to boost your hindmilk put her on the same boob for two feeds in a row for a day or two.

Richelle - Ari sometimes plays aroun when she is on the boob, even talks with her mouth full it cracks me up :-) It is much bettr if you can hold of on the soilds until 6mth as their gut isn't fully mature until then.

Oskar plays around sometimes too and if I take him off he cracks it...lol. He talks with his mouth full too and looks up at me and grins, so funny! I won't be putting Oskar on solids till 6 months. A baby will not starve themselves though, so don't worry about that. Maybe Kailee is still getting back to herself and just isn't too interested in eating much yet.

He's started to laugh this week which is so adorable!! All 3 times have been at his dad (I laugh when I look at him too...lol)...one time Andy coughed and Oskar thought it was hillarious and then last night Andy was in the shower and I took Oskar in and had him peeking around the corner into the shower and he just started laughing at who knows what but I was in hysterics cos he sounds so cute and he was just laughing and laughing!

On the lovely subject of poo.. Oskar does green ones sometimes too, but I thought it seemed to be when I had eaten a fair amount of chocolate?? Maybe I'll run a little experiment...lol...poor me having to eat chocolate to check it out!!!

Better go cos I have to get a scan done this morning and I have to get dressed and everything yet...love being in my jimjams but can't go like that!! Have a great weekend and shall speak to you soon.

Cass, how cute that Oskar is laughing! Claire has started laughing too. I think its hilarious! But unfortunately she only does it when DH is not around so he hasnth eard her laugh yet.

We,ve decided that we are going to buy a sleeping bag for Claire, like a Grobag or something simialr. She always wiggles out of her wrap and kicks the sheet off her and ends up cold.. its very exciting to buy another item for her!

Karina - I put Nicholas in a sleeping bag now as he always unwraps himself and gets cold too. Are the grow bags the ones with no arms? I think this might be better so their hands don't get cold. I will have to check these out.

Cass - How cute! Nicholas has started to laugh a bit now too. He cracked up yesterday at a girl I was showing through our house (to rent it out). I don't know what it was, but he really giggled at her.

Caro - I was just reading iin the colic/reflux/teething threads that you have found a colic/reflux natural remedy from a chemist. What is it called?And have you found that it is working for Michael? I find the Losec works fine, but just the last week we have seen a bit of a drop in its effectiveness. I saw that Scarlett mentioned this happens with the compound.

:hello: Girls

Down at Bridgetown (3hrs south of perth) for the long weekend, on my friends laptop so thought i would pop in to say hello.

Kaiden has also green poos mostly pumpkin colour ones though.

He has been so good this long weekend, feeding, sleeping and laughing.. such a good boy for mummy, im very proud.

I gave him some formula for the first time lastnight as i had two glasses of wine, wasnt sure if i was going to have any more than that so thought i better be safe, he loved it, and didnt even have any reflux after so im guessing the flow from my boobs is just way to quick for him and that is what is causing his spewing /reflux,poor little fellow.Back on the boob though thisw morning when i go back to work i think i will give him one bottle of formula out of the 3 feeds he will miss.

Thank you all for your congratulations on my job.,

I must go and be social.
Love Son
xx

Jo, yeah the grobags are the armless ones. Theyre like a singlet on the top half and the bag for the bottom half.

Sonia yay about Kaiden being such a good little boy! And yay that he likes formula too.

I am confused. I posted some photos of Claire to my dad and he sent them back. He must have thought they were not for him to keep, even though I told him they were for him to keep. I thought he would want to keep them because he kept on asking my mum for them. wierd man.

Other than that Claire is doing fabulous today. I went out for a few hours so spent the day with her daddy. She is looking so much like him.
Who do your babies look more like - you or their dad?

Hi girls, just ducking in before I go to bed - we have a public holiday here tomorrow so I could stay up but I find it just makes me more tired... S doesn't change his routine for the weekends or holidays so I would just end up having to wake up at normal time anyway (and then feel really tired all day!)

He's not laughing yet - although he might have had a chuckle the other day but I couldn't be sure. Can't wait! Smiling loads though.

Sarah, have checked out your site and will hopefully be able to order some nappies from you within the next two weeks. Are you going to stock bumgenius AIOs? I got one last week and it is brilliant, I love it! But I've got a pocket change one and will probably order some of those from you anyway. I'll let you know - hope business is booming!

Well, starting to flag a bit so it's off to bed! Have a good week everyone :)

hey everyone

Karina - Kailee plays with it the same way you said Claire does, she just gnaws on the top of the teat of smiles and talks mid feed before punching the bottle away!

It's so funny that you girls are saying bubs are porkers at 4.9kg and 5.15kg etc... Kailee now weighs 6.36kg! But then she started at 4.25kg! Thing is she still fits into 0000 clothes apart from them being 3/4 pants now instead of long pants!

I thought we had gotten over the chicken pox, but suddenly she has got spots again, and I can't tell if they are bites or not but don't want to rush off to the doctor and pay a fortune to be told its mozzie bites! Oh well, looks like I'm back under house arrest for the time being to be on the safe side!

Well better go get the bottles washed and sterilised now she is asleep.
