Jess - i use a shower curtain, i did the same with Dd, just easy to wipe and hose down when need be. I have Hamish on Heinz Nurture, i have a friend that works in the chemist and she told me its the same formula as SMA and i cant remember the name of the other one. He has had no troubles with it at all. Not sure what you should do but i would maybe ring mchn maybe.
Sarah - yay on the Juliette's weight etc, they have all grown so fast. Hamish has 4 teeth and two more just about cut threw.
NaNa- i have has hayfever really badly lately too, didnt think of it being fromthe smoke. My eyes are driving me crazy, i suppose now i am not feeding i can get some tablets.
NaNa- BF she was fine with and no change with dairy i had to cut out dairy for few weeks when i was BF when we were checking for reflux. I contacted the CH Services up the road but they said se the MCHN on thursday at the chemist... Its a complete waste of money buying tins that go to waste. i just threw a whole tin of formula out (heinz one i had here that i used 2 bottles and she couldnt keep them in) Its just frustrating. Good idea bout the table cloth also. cheaper then the thing i saw. Also were back to full time bibs. sick and teething sicks. so much flids around everywhere... Blerk.... DD hates me wiping her nose too and it ends up smeared everywhere. So yuk...
Sarah- YAY you made it in... Woo go Juliette. She's such a cutie. WOW at only 5 kgs difference. Zander must be little tho... or Jordan is big. jordan is 4 and 22 kgs 113 cm tall ... lol. With the teeth, DD had 4 fully (2 top 2 bottom) and the next 1 each side up the top have cut through but havent come down all the way just yet. Food, Dd goes off it when she is sick but other wise she's loving everything. Pureed, chunky, solid she'll eat almost everything and knos how to use her teeth to bite food now.
Sass- There was only #2 at the shop and so i brought #2. i was thinking bout trying #1 but didnt want the same result IUKWIM.
Abb- My friend uses SMA- Its made by s26 and is almost the same but its thicker (hence the "fuller feed" slogan) I heard good things bout heinz but when i gave it to DD she couldnt keep it in, she threw the WHOLE bottle back up within 5 mons of finishing it. i thought ok maybe its from changing tried again and same thing so i stopped using it.
sarah: great to hear from u on here. dont worry about the teeth jayda has non either. i have been thinkin there r some coming for liek the last 2 months.
jayda is loving her food. she loves yogurt and custard and has veggies i make. ummm still kinda mushy but getting lumpier as we go lol. she used to gag at lumps
Jess, Zander is a tiny little thing at 99cm, hasn't even cracked the big 1m mark yet
Juliette had butter chicken last night & loooved it She's so adventurous with food so I'm loving it! Not much else has happened since yesterday, but are you all impressed I'm here two days in a row?!
OMG i thought something happened to my subscription page and it was stil showing Sarah's msg yesterday.... haha... Thanks for popping back in Sarah. WOW at zanders height. i'm used to big and tall and big feet with jordan this small and tiny feet is all new to me.
well i have a video to post on FB but it wont work. Little miss is now using her lion walker to get around. she holds it and walks round on her knees. she's crawling normally almost all the time now and OMG cannot sit down. I posted pics on FB of her after she had climbed up the frame for the JJ. Cheecky girl.
I got in touch with the CHN and she helped out a little. She thinks i should go back to the last HA and try and combat the constipation with more fruits and veges and trying to get her to have more water. So we'll see how we go. She told me to offer more food then i have been cos little miss is still having 6 milks bottles at least.
Well best be off DP is on night shift so i wanna get the kids to bed early so i can clean up while i'm awake.
Its quiet in here. Hope everyone is ok... Bec where r u... I dont have you on FB, Hope Cam is going ok.
Deancy- Hows Liam??? Hows your course going??
LMK, Mecil, anyone else not popped in for a while??
Going to try to make it a quick one, Cam's due to get up soon and DH is home.
Sarah - Welcome back to this thread. Glad to here Juliette is doing well and seems be growing well. Yay on her being so adventerous with food - makes it alot easier when you can just give them what we're eating hey. I haven't made up any foods specifically for Cam for many weeks (though I must admit I have used some of my premaid foods a couple of times and a few tins on lazy weekend nights), but otherwise trying to just give what we eat.
Jess - Sorry your having trouble with formula's...hope you can find one that suits soon...only a few more months until you can hopefully give normal milk (as long as you can find what the problem is of course). Also IKWYM about the snot trails and bubbles...thankfully our colds are pretty much gone now.
Abb - Yes you should be proud you made it this far with the BF...good on you. Wow it did sound like you had a busy weekend. And isn't it always the way that bubs behave perfectly going to bed on time when you've got a friend/family member who has come to visit....you kinda need to let them know in advance so they can get some cuddles in hey.
Sassy - Glad to hear Jayda's enjoying her food...especially yoghurts and custards...I've occassionally lost track of time during the day and find these perfect to give for Cam's lunch with a couple of pieces of fruit.
NaNa - Wow that post the other day was a good one...I'd actually gotten on to do a post, but by the time I read it I ran out of time ...now look what's happened, pretty much everyones posted since and I find it so hard to keep up. Sorry to here Aadi's gotten sick now too...most of the babies from my mothers group and even other friends bubs have gotten sick too - must be all the changes in the weather again. Sounds like you have a cheeky little boy...with the rolling and falling and laughing and all.
Girl - Good on you for extending your studies so you can spend time with your little girl. That's why I've decided to only go back to work part time though we probably can't really afford it - I just don't want to miss out on seeing Cameron grow up...afterall (for me anyway) this is one reason we decided to have children.
Well, really running out of time now...be quick Bec
Not much new here...only me pulling my hair out....DH's job is in trouble. Due to the financial problems the world is having as he drives trucks and delivers containers...well the orders have slowed down big time that they are having an extended break. We don't know when there will be more work coming so DH is having to look for a new job. ARGH!!! DH was a little complacent about it all though, so I had to remind him a couple of times that I'm not getting money anymore. He wanted to do a career change, which will probably include doing year 10 maths again, but we just can't afford it at the moment while we are bringing $0 money a week Think he's got the message now and hopefully will find a new job soon.
Anyhoo, Cam's just woken...I'll try to pop back later.
bec: sorry to hear about DH's job. i think my DH is pretty lucky his wont be effected. mine is a bit up and down at the mo too i dont have as many kids caus ei had some go to skool this yr and no new ones have come in to take the place. it is a bit of a shock when ur used to getting a certain amount of money then it goes down to less the half.
Jess: hope the old formula works out for ya. maybe get some prune juice read for her too. 6 bottle wow that seems liek heaps to me but jayda has alway shad less the "normal" she is at 3 but is slowly starting to drop her morning one she doesnt seem too interested in it.
jayda has been a poo sleeping latly. she is not wanting basically any sleep during the day but by like 6 she is so tired. i was putting her to bed at 7 but she wakes up so many times so 1 night this week i kept her up to 8 (which has been her normal bed time) and she slept through. i had a meeting last ngiht and DH didnt wanna deal with ehr and keep her up till 8 so he put her to bed early. she slept till i got home at 10 then woke up on and off all night.
so my question is do u think i could tape her to her bed and make her sleep during the day lol just kidding but i wish i could lol.
we had a shocking night last night. she was at mums yesterday and had about 10mins sleep all day so yeah i paid for it last night.
mum keeps telling me i need to take her to a sleep school. she has about 2 half hr sleeps during the day but no one knows how to get her to sleep but me. well they dont persist thats the only prob. if she doesnt go to sleep in 5 to 10 min they give up.
i have my half yearly safety check today so i am not looking forward to that. i have full on kids and i can hardly keep my eyes open but ill have to put on the happy face while the office lady is here.
Dont have alot to mention today, Hamish now has 5 teeth and one i can just see the white coming through so i hope that is it for awhile, although i should not complain he has not altered his sleep patterns atm. He is going down at around 7.30pm and sleeps until 7am. He then has a bottle and play, breakfast around 8 then back to bed for 1 to 1 1/2 hours then play and lunch around 12 back to bed around 1 fo 2 to 2 1/2 hours. It is working really well atm, fingers crossed it stays that way.
Jess - 6 bottles seems alot, hamish has 3 x 200ml but he would drink ateast 2 x sippy cups of water, its funny he loves water. At the beginning i warmed ot a little but now he has it cold, will even drink out of water bottle if i forget his sippy cup when out.
Bec - not good on the job for your dh, is there any other job prospectd for him? It seems to be happening everywhere atm, in my old job they have almost halved the office with staff retrenchments since i left, its so sad. Dp's company have already had one downsizing this year and 3 people in his department lost there jobs but hopefully that will be it for awhile. I hope your Dh will be ok or finds a job soon.
Sass - i hope jayda starts sleeping better for you soon and you dont need to tape her to bed..lol Hoefully it is just a stage, ds was a pain for awhile there, i even resorted to putting a cd payer in his room and he would fall asleep listening to music.
NaNa - how are things with Aadi? Have your visitors left yet?
LMK - how are things with you?
Deancey - i bet you are busy with nursing now, oh i remember the first semester well, how daunting it all was, expecially learning all the termonolgy (sp).
Girl - how is Jasmeena now? i hope she is over her runny nose.
Its a complete waste of money buying tins that go to waste. i just threw a whole tin of formula out (heinz one i had here that i used 2 bottles and she couldnt keep them in) Its just frustrating. Good idea bout the table cloth also. cheaper then the thing i saw. Also were back to full time bibs. sick and teething sicks. so much flids around everywhere... Blerk.... DD hates me wiping her nose too and it ends up smeared everywhere. So yuk... 
She's so adventurous with food so I'm loving it! Not much else has happened since yesterday, but are you all impressed I'm here two days in a row?!
haha... Thanks for popping back in Sarah. WOW at zanders height. i'm used to big and tall and big feet with jordan this small and tiny feet is all new to me. 
Think he's got the message now and hopefully will find a new job soon.
