So sorry to hear you have sick kiddies and bubbas I hope they get on the mend very soon, I hate the cold weather not that we are getting much up here in the sunny north!! I have been getting around in singlets and shorts.
Miss B is doing very well, nearly 7 1/2 months now! Dragging all around the house, doing my cleaning for me. No more teeth to report but in saying that I didn't even know she had teeth when her first came through at 4 1/2 months with the second close behind. Solids are going well but I have backed off on offering 3 times a day as I think she may be constipated? Has had formed little nuggets passed but not a big full nappy for abit over a week now but she doesn't seem in pain just that I can see her straining. What should I do? Am still breast feeding 5 times a day but she will only stay on for however long she wants and I do give her a sippy cup to play with and suck but I dont think she gets much water.
Must go and keep packing, we are going south for the weekend, Miss B's first plane ride aaaaahhhhh! I am so nervous! Are there any tips I should try? We dont get home til way past her bedtime so I am going to feed at the normal time on the plane and top her up when we get home just before bed? Am with the in laws so it should be very FUN FILLED (sarcasm *), I may miss the plane tomorrow, I wish. Hubby and I had a big blue after the 7 am breakfast date we had, cut short story - routine was put out which I didnt have a problem with but as I watched Miss B falling asleep in peoples arms I decided it was time to go and hubby said I am 'too controlling'. News flash - Miss B is content and happy (as inlaws say all the time because of me and the routine that they always want to destroy!! They are tryng to test me and crack me I'm sure, but NEVER will I, especially for the sake of MY DAUGHTER!! I feel better! Hope bubbas are good and talk soon
Hope all the sick bubbas are getting better!! Bella is getting her top teeth at the moment and not that happy about it! She has her 2 bottom ones.
Not much else happening around here - Bella will be 7 months old on Monday and showing no interest in crawling - hates being on her tummy and just lives sitting up all then time! I guess she will figure it out at some stage!
Have a shocker of a headache and Bella has decided that she doesnt want a sleep today so neither can I!
Hi ladies. I just found this thread!!! So let me introduce us. I'm Kristy and my litle terror is Jack. He's my first baby. He's on solids and formula and his teeth are waiting to break through. Just started crawling but not sitting. And he loves wiggling
Just wondering when you'd take bubs for their next check up with CHN? Is it 8mths or 9?
Hey kristie wlcome to our group, my next appointment is 8 months old...depends on your nurse. Jack sounds like fun!!!
Zoo- have fun on your trip...am sure you'll be fine. Rebecca was constipated not too long ago. Can you give her some water? Or put some brown suger in water or give prunes for breaky? I ended up using a suppository...moved out all the hard bits!
Kate hope youre feeling better. Bec can sit now for longer periods and rolls and rolls....not interested in getting up on all 4s yet!
Hi girls! Been a while since I have posted... My little cherub is just over 7 months now and we visited the health care nurse today for a checkup. She's over 9.5 kgs and is 71 cms tall (head 44 cms) so in the 95-97th percentile. She's having 5 BF's a day and 3 solids plus some 'snacks' of a rusk/cruskitt or apple/pear in a 'sock' thingy.
Kaitlyn isn't showing any signs of crawling yet and like Bella, she doesn't like being on her tummy at all & rolls onto her back as soon as I put her on her belly...hehe... My DS was the same so I'm guessing I'll have another 9 month (ish) crawler. She's got 2 teeth so far and says "mum mum mum" and "bub bub bub" but that's it...no "dad dad dad" here. She's also sitting up really well and if I trusted her not to fling herself backwards as she does very occassionally now, I wouldn't keep pillows behind her anymore.
Sleep hasn't been an easy thing to come by lately...DD has had a rough patch, as has DS because of sickness. Kaitlyn is doing 3 sleeps of about 20 minutes most days...she settles without a problem on her own but just can't resettle when she goes to the next stage. Does anyone else have that problem?
We've had a nasty vomit bug in our house this week so it hasn't been much fun but I think we've pulled through it now. It's hard being couped up inside for so long...especially with the rain & freezing wind.
I hope all the sick bubbas are on the mend and I hope you're all getting some sleep...
Duh, I came in yesterday for a reason then totally forgot what it was... I wanted to ask if any/many of you have swapped your car seats around to forward facing yet? We haven't done Kaitlyn's seat yet but I think we'll do it soon...so much easier in forward facing...
I hope they get on the mend very soon, I hate the cold weather not that we are getting much up here in the sunny north!! I have been getting around in singlets and shorts.
No flying advice sorry! Never have flown with any of the kids.
