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...
Ours is still read racing. TBH I hadn't given it a thought to turn it around I'll leave it the way it is for a while longer yet as it doesn't bother me.
I had a horrible night with Ruby She screamed for hours and wouldn't settle so she ended up in the bed with us. I'm thinking it might be teeth but two of her brothers are sick so it's probably that. I just know I'm so frigging tired today!
It's been awhile since I've dropped in. Thanks for your concerns about Sienna!
She's much better now, she kicked that nasty cold. She's still a little chesty and coughs occasionally so I'll be looking into a vapouriser as suggested by the Dr.
The bleeding nose seems to have stopped thank goodness! Dr looked up her noise with the little camera thingo and said that she may have stuck something up her nose while playing such as her finger (takes after her daddy ) or a toy. He said it wasn't a major concern which was a massive relief.
We've been having huge sleeping probs with Sienna. She has now started screaming when we put her down to sleep, day and night. It's so heartbreaking and she does it even if I try and hold her off to sleep. It's like she's developed an allergy to sleeping. It's been very draining and a few times we've resorted to control crying as we're at an absolute loss as to what to do.
I hate hate hate control crying (Please note: I don't have any moral or ethical thoughts against it as I can't say I've really taken the time to study it throroughly, I just mean it upsets me terribly to hear my baby cry her little lungs out). The couple of times we've resorted to it, Sienna has cried for between 15 and 45 minutes, she starts losing her voice and then passes out from exhaustion. When she had the bleeding noise, it was much worse when she cried which was awful. So I don't think that's the road I want to go down (admittedly we haven't tried it repeatedly night after night, which may have had more of an effect)
AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!
Anyhoo, we've booked into our local health cottage on the 17th July to get some much needed help. So fingers crossed
Well thats my (looong) vent, so onto better things...
Sienna still hasn't gotten the hang of crawling forwards, just lots of sliding backwards and rocking on her hands and knees so I'm sure it's close. Then I'll really know I'm alive!!
She's started waving which is too too cute, and is gurgling all sorts of wonderful noises like mummum, dadda, and bubba, as well as some random words (one of which sounds like "booga" which amuses my husband no end, lol). So apart from the sleeping issues, life has been wonderful with our gorgeous little one.
Sorry about the long post as usual! When I get the chance to blog on here, I make the most of it!!

No flying advice sorry! Never have flown with any of the kids.
