Jo, Nic would LOVE a bumbo. They look kinda weird but man Oskar just loves it! I put him in it in the morning now so I can have my brekky and he just sits there playing with his hands and checking everything out. It's good too cos when I lay him on the floor the cat thinks he's there to play with and runs at his head (does it with Joshua too so I know it's not a jealous at Oskar thing) and jumps around. With him in the bumbo he's sniffing at him but not running at him and being a nutter!
Karina, it's great to get home huh! Now, I'm with you...why would you introduce a dummy for no reason anyway?? Oskar had one intermittently for a few weeks and the last time was at least 6 weeks ago!! If I needed one in a hurry I'd be in trouble cos I don't have one ready...lol. I BF Oskar in bed EVERY morning! We like it that way cos then I just pop him down next to me and he has a sleep when he's finished and I lay down and have a nap too. I don't give Oskar a bottle, he's never even seen one. I know it's hard to ignore what they say and you get sick of smiling and nodding and thinking... I'M DOING FINE THANKS!!! to you.
We went to the pregnancy, child and baby expo today. Wasn't too bad. Probably should've put Oskar in his HAB, but oh well too late once you're in there. You really could end up spending copious amounts of money if you weren't careful though! Some things just look so cool that you can very easily get caught up in the moment...lol. Nope, I didn't, very proud of myself!
Does anyone know if it's ok to have a filling or something like that done with your teeth if you're BF?? I have a tooth which has been giving me quite a bit of grief for the past few days and I need to have something done. I don't want to not feed Oskar in this time and don't know if I can feed or if I have to not feed for like 24 hours or something?? I really DON'T want to put him on a bottle even with EBM for any feeds yet. I'm not ready for that and I don't want him to like the bottle and not want me again cos I don't want to do the bottle thing! So, anyone have any idea??
Hello ladies, hope everyone is having a great weekend. this is my second attempt at writing this as I lost the first one - stupid computer. Grace is 4 months old today and....she rolled for the first time this morning . Clever girl. Both DH and I didn't see it though, pmsl. I walked back into the room to find her lying on her tummy, happy as larry dribbling all over the place. She gave me a massive smile when I walked up to her like she knew that what she had done was a big deal. So proud. Other than that her legs are getting so strong. In the last week I have been standing her up on the floor in front of me and initially she could only hold herself up for a few seconds, now she can hold herself up for a few minutes. DH took the cutest photo of her when she was standing which I am hoping to get onto my photo's soon so I will let you know when I do. Well, we have given up the fight with getting Grace to sleep in her cot in the day. We put her in a sleeveless sleeping bag and she has been sleeping in her rocker. I am just happy that she is getting some sleep. Do not want another repeat of Thursday night. Who says she needs to sleep in her cot in the daytime anyway?
DH and I went to the movies and out for tea last night which was rather nice. It was rather weird though being at the movies, it felt like forever since we had last been. My parents didn't have too much trouble with Grace other than some crying on and off for 2 hours after we left! She missed us. She was happy once she had her bath though and then went to sleep immediately. Like Bec said, just got to go with what works.
Cass,I don't see why it should be a problem to have your teeth done, I would imagine that any effect from the anaesthetic would barely make it to the milk as it is a local thing. Check with the dentist though but it should be fine. Obviously you have to do what is comfortable for you but I would be suprised if Oskar wouldn't bf again after a bottle or 2. Grace has had a few bottles recently as we have been going out and we have no problem with the bf. Your bf is well established so nipple confusion shouldn't be a problem.
Karina, how annoying that your in-laws couldn't mind their own business. Glad you are happy to be back. We have avoided the shops since the toy sales started but we are venturing down tomorrow and may have to have a look.
Jo, good luck to your sister. Glad you had a nice day at the nursery. Happy birthday to Joshua.
Nat, I agree, if Grace started biting me I would be weening her quick smart!! You poor thing, I hope she stops doing that to you.
Bec, yay on the expressing. I find the more I do it the better I get - got 180mls out last night (mind you, had missed a feed as we were out). It'll get easier.
Little miss has just woken from another sleep - she has been sleeping wonderfully the last 2 days. Must be time for a feed, bath then to bed so we can have tea. Have a good night ladies.
to you.
