AJP - my email address is laurnath_au@westnet.com.au. that way you can email me the details. Plus I'm on messenger too. Coolum Beach is a lovely place, not over commercialised (sp??!!) every year they hold a kite festival which is brilliant. will look forward to seeing you in my neck of the woods.
I'm wondering whether I should start to comp feed Aston in the evening...last night I swear I think I fed him every two hours, and about the same today! oh god I wish I knew what was going on.... not sure what to do...but something is definately up, wondering whether I'm losing my supply...or is he having a growth sprut, or all of the above....
can I find a rock to go and hide under today, not feeling too good... :(

CHelsea is starting to drink and eat less....(less then the little that she used to..lol) but is making up for it in sleep. Yesterday she had a 3 hour nap and th over night went to bed at 830 and never woke up til 1030 this morning!!
Off to QLD tmrw...not even excited.. feel like crap and just wanna curl up in a ball...:(
-
:( Kim!!! I hope that you start feeling better.
Vicky I've been having a mummy meltdown week... full on. Jovie has been full on not sleeping & breastfeeding every 3 hours and wanting more solids etc all the time. I have found that I let DH give her a bottle if its around 10-11pm and I've been in bed an hour, that way I get to sleep for a while before the early morning onslaught of feeding. I just need the rest...
-
sounds like mummy melt downs all round...
i hope that you are able to have a good time Kim while you are away, hopefully the change of scenery will make you feel better...
Christy - I'm sorry that you are having a shocker, but it makes me feel better that I'm not on my own. I did a bit of research on ABA to see if I could work out what is going on...I've decided to demand feed for the next 24 hours (f it doesnt kill me first!) then see what happens, if there is no improvement, I will talk to the CHN and possibly start comping... It probably has more to do with the fact that I'm feeling so incredibly stressed at the moment. I have to go to court on Friday regarding Laura and Nathan, and I would rather not be going at all. It just triggers too many things for me - court that is. So I'm thinking that all this stress is probably affecting my supply... Like I said a nice rock to curl up under would be nice... :(
-
:hug: Vicky and Christy.... i feel for you both... i hope Jovie and Aston start improving for u soon. Im having no probs compared to some.. so i shouldnt winge.
Goodluck for Friday Vicky.... must be hard for you. Take care and try to not stress as much... ill be thinking of you.
-
thank u kim, and whinge away honey - you are just as entitled to - your 5months pregnant, have a 6 1/2 month old baby, have just moved house, and havent been well, as well as not too long ago had a sick husband as well....all of those things are enough to send any one over the edge. Moving house itself is a killer, let alone all the other stuff! While they may not be problems, they are still important things going on in your life, and make it very very busy, and stressful...so feel free to dump when ever you need to. thats what I love about this place, I can dump without feeling like I'm going to get attacked for doing so.... I really do hope that the change of scenery, and hopefully not having to do anything but relax - well as much as you can with a 6 mth old baby! hugs right back to you....

major mummy meltdown here today. SNAP Vicky Evie was up every 2 hours for feeds last night too!
I'm looking after my 5mth old nephew today. my my my its hectic around here and of course they both want to eat and sleep at the same time but i'm only 1 person. so i cracked it and stormed off and dh was left to deal. poor fella. rang my sil to come pick him up early cos i have a headache that wont quit.
i hear beer is good for that tho..with a side order of gravy
-
Tara - Ella will be there in a flash to help with the gravy bit. No one has given her beer yet but you never know...
AJP - were always on the look out for cool new clothes. Will you be doing a store on ebay or on your own website?
Christy - hope the girls get back into normal routine so you can rest properly. Those cat naps just aint the same as a proper sleep.
Well Ella rejected pear at breakfast, had a bit of apple (of course coz she loves it) and yogurt for lunch. I have no idea what to give her for dinner.
Sleep is also a bit tricky too these days but i'm sure she'll work it out.

Tried some sweet potato this evening and we had shaking, gagging, coughing and throwing up 1/2 hour old milk so...maybe fruit's on the menu for a while! or avocado...any other ideas anyone? I dont want to get her too used to sweet stuff so she then wont eat vegies.
That was pretty stressful, I think it calls for a BEER AJP!
jk
-
Aww poor Little Evie, shes not having a very good time trying new foods is she
have u tried baby porriage? just a suggestion!
-
lol Tara, beer with a side of gravy definately on order for you!!!! *hugs*
-
well I have fed aston 2 hourly for most of the day. and I am sitting down with a glass of red wine. My knee is still killing me. But I got through the day, and that has to count for something!
Tara - we still on pears and that is it for the moment. once a day...see what tonight brings........
-
i think i have gastro :( had the runs for two days now, feel nauseous, pale:(
on a good note i think i've worked out why sophie is not wanting to eat, it's not pureed enough! i started making it chunkier and since then has been refusing it, today i made pureed it more and she ate her apples!!!!
-
YAY AJP!! on working out the food...not having the runs, thats nasty. Drink lots of flat lemonade - thats a good'un.
Evie didnt sleep again last night. I really dont know what the go is. she cries so i pick her up and she goes back to sleep. i try feeding but she doesnt want that. i have no idea what to do but i do find it kind of odd.
Vicki - in an earlier post you wrote about comp feeding, whats that?
-
Tara Comp feeding, is complimentary feeding - a bottle of formula. I haven't done it yet, I think the last 24 hours Aston has been increasing my supply, so I will see what happens over the next 24 hours... BTW you are due for AF again are you, aston always fusses./refuses the breast when that is about to arrive
-
AJP - poor thing. rest and liquids for you! I also found ella loves the smooth stuff. Now we've moved onto chunkier foods she will eat anything that's pureed :) Yogurt, Custards etc. (still not keen on orange foods yet)
Tara - could it be separation anxiety? can you leave something that smells of you in her cot? Just a thought. I *wore* a teddybear around for a few weeks and now ella has it in her cot and nestles close to it. :) But our sleep is a bit up and down these days too.
With the sweet potato i found it was really thick. I had to water it down so it was sloppy but even then she only has a few spoons and isnt keen on it. But at least that stopped her gagging.
Ella is now on fork mashed foods and doesnt choke! yay! She even had a bit of my toast this morning and i watched her chew it and swallow so i might continue offering a bit now and again to encourage her to chew.
We're also having a lot of pear these days (to give apple a break). I tried tuna with pumpkin last night but she picked out the tuna with her hands! cheeky thing. We've got a little food critic here.
