Tara - that's why she's not sleeping. That's a big developmental milestone! Yay evie! On the consistancy i made Ella's food like runny custard. i put a quite a bit of water to her food to make it mushy.
Christy - I say that all the time! where did she go?
We had the worst night ever. She wasnt this bad when she was newborn! She was up every 30mins. Her fever got worse and we ran out of panadol. DH and I took turns driving around looking for 24hr chemist with NO luck. Then when the shops opened we rushed out and got some and she slept for for 3hrs in the morning and then again in the afternoon (we ended up waking her at 5pm) so she could have some awake time before her night sleep. She's still got a slight temp but looks better. Now she's not sleeping. She's been awake for 3hrs.
She still eating fine - 3 cubes a meal and drinking more boob to keep her fluids up.
Chelsea's food is thick and it dont fall off the spoon...lol....and i leave some chunks, mix with a little bit of water.
Emelia is so advanced standing like that... we still shake all over the place and fall!
Craig was good today.. he got up to Chels at 830 and watched her til 11 so i could sleep in....yet another night of not sleeping for me...Chels woke once and i asked Craig to get up and put the time he got up she'd put herself back to sleep!
Well... the nights haven't gotten much better but her second tooth popped through this arvo! So I hope that tonight it my night
Jovie's not standing or crawling yet, but she's eating! She's had rolled oats with water the past 3 months for brekky, I add a bit of apple puree and she has an adult serving which is twice what her big sister eats for brekky...
Oh Christy - i really hope you get some sleep tonight. its so hard when you know they just need to be comforted and you just cant do it because you're so tired yourself
our night wasnt too bad, she was asleep by 6, woke at 930, 1 and 430 for feeds but went straight back to sleep after, so i can deal with that.
going to try some avocado this afternoon.
i'm thinking that i'm not making them any where near runny enough, so i'll try that this evening and see how she goes.
Vicki - Glad Aston is alright, hope the cold passes quick!
Luua - poor Ella, hope shes feeling better and u get some sleep.
Kim- u have a great husband letting u get a sleep in, i would kill for a sleep in lol!! sorry to hear Chels isnt sleeping much hehehe at her been tiny in her high chair!!! u have to take a pic and put it on ur site!!
Christy - hope now that Jovie's other tooth came through u will get a good nights sleep!
Tara - how did Evie go with the avocado?
Emelias been having weetbix the last 2 days for breaky and she loves it! shes becoming so cheeky!!
i start my new diet tomorrow woo hoo !!! had maccas for dinner lol said it will be my last time!!
Now I have the cold!! And I can't find anything to take other then nurophen and panadol - any suggestions as to what I can take while breast feeding - just want to stop my nose running.
Aston is on the improve, and has been sleeping better at night. No tooth yet, but the edge of his bottom gum is so sharp - he has bitten down on me while feeding, and it certainly felt like a tooth was already there!! I think its not very far away.
Christy, with the rolled oats do you you prepare them just as normal, or break them down more? I have been thinking about trying aston with them, but wasn't sure how to prepare it for a bub.
I prepared some meat for him over the weekend for him to try this week. The carrots had no reaction - other then him only having a little of it - cheeky monkey prefers fruit doesnt he!! Oh well, at least he is eating now without any tummy pains afterwards.
Kim and Blanche - I'm the heaviest at the moment that I have ever been as an adult! and I'm not happy about it! I'm hoping that i can start pilates once my back is all good - and it will move this tummy - plus help strengthen my back. Good luck with your diet Blanche - are you doing it yourself or weight watchers?
vicky i have just preparted some oats for brekky for sophie!!!! i just boiled some oats in water then strained and pureed, i did however had a cube of EBM and a cube of apple as i was very bland!!!! the avocado was fine defrosted as well!!! stayed the same green as before i freezed it
mmmmm the cold- i dont think theres anything you can take i had a blocked nose so used euky bear and then nasal spray, stuff some tissue up there!!

Hey Vicky - i take lots of echinacea and vitamin C. The chemist also has a bunch of natural options under the Brauer brand. They always check that its OK for BF mums before i buy it. Poor you its so miserable being sick and not being able to rest. But sounds like Astons on the verge of getting teeth. Ella's gums felt like that too and then a week later BAM there they were.
Christy - Ella loves her oats and apple too. I cook them so they are really mushy and chunky.
Ella is STILL sick. The fever came down on Sunday morning but she hardly slept all day. She had 1hr in the morning and then 1hr in the afternoon. Last night was horrendous - up almost every hour since we put her down. I've also noticed once her fever came down she's developed a rash....i'm sure its from the fever but we're going to the GP to check it out. Its all over her back and chest and head and neck. I hope its not an allergy to panadol! because she was having that quite regularly!! arggghh...
Vicki - hope u find something u can take for the running nose..im doing the tony ferguson diet have u heard of it? my mum started last week and she lost 4 kilos in 4 days!! i did weight watchers last time and it worked well for me but i just couldnt get started on it this time.
Luua - let us know how Ella goes at the docs
Ajp - Emelia wouldnt eat anything this morning either ..very strange, very unlike her!
No idea if Chelsea ate anything cos she is at care!! LOL... i sent her with a nice but to the point letter on her feeding and napt times too... so lets hopeit gets thru to her carer :P
With the oats I make it up with water & add extra water so its very watery. Then I mix in some apple puree & sometimes I give it a whir in the bamix or stick blender and that gets rid of most of the lumps. But the last few days I haven't tried to mix it and left the lumps & she's happy. Today I tried some mashed food rather than pureed & it didn't go down well... it was peas and carrots so maybe I'm pushing her too far. LOL how do you know??
I went on a diet 2 months ago & my supply dropped so much I decided I'd wait until I've finished breastfeeding. I was so dissappointed because I was ready to start and try to loose weight but I had enough problems building a supply up I don't want to loose any.
Vicky I can second the Brauer's homeopathic range... that helped me heaps with my sinus cold I had a few weeks ago. I just went to an equpped chemist and asked about it. They have it in tablets as well as a baby range which is okay to take while you are breastfeeding.
Ann - I hope Ella is okay??? When are you going to the GP? Its so scary when they keep temps for a long time. Matilda had roseola and it was 4 days of high temps then a rash at the end. I thought it was so scary.
AJP- great news about the avocado, going to go puree some up and freeze it now. I have 4 avo's sitting on the counter ready.
US... well Jovie's slept better the past 2 nights, still no day sleeping Honestly I don't know how she does it. I need to rest during the day & I can't figure out how to get her to rest at the same time.
hooray! she likes avocado! i actually really watered it down and she was quite happy to sit and eat it, so i think i've just been making her food way too thick.
and of course, i gave her avocado way too close to bed time last night so she was up all night with a funny tummy.
Vicky, i remember you saying that aston had some unsettled nights when you started on solids, did it just take him getting used to it and then it calmed down a bit?
now if i could just get these naps happening!
