We had a better night here last night, but I think it was because I was using nurofen, that and Aston was sooo tired. He fell asleep at 5, on the way home from picking up Nathan from Football training, and didn't wake again til 10, thank goodness, as my bbs were getting rather sore. so I fed him, changed him, gave him the next dose of nurofen and he went back to sleep til 4.30. He is a much happier little man today, but his nose is running green???!!!! think i may have to take him back tot he doctor!
Wow, sick babies all over the place!
Touch wood, we seem to be avoiding it for now, although night before last was a shocker for us too. Just don't know why? Little man was just screaming for few hrs and not at all happy when up in the morning which is quite unusual. DH slept elswhere last night and I had logan in bed with me - much better night. However, I am getting sick of the 4.30-5am wake up. Usually he goes back to sleep with a feed for at least another hr or 2 but not lately! Just wants to get up and play!
Anyone having trouble with solids? We are really struggling - he is just not keen at all.
Oops - must go, the boy is crying. BBL
H everyone!
Ann - We use(d) baby balsam when Jake's cold was really bad and demazin colour free cold relief drops for Jake. My neighbour swears by eucy bear. She must be going through a growth spurt and has realised this food business is good stuff! Jake was really babd like that (not wanting to be put down) when his teeth were just about to come thru with the rosiest cheeks too. It was funny bcos the cheeks would alternate - sometime the left one, sometime the right and sometimes both would be glowing!
Vicky - poor Aston! Green snot is usually an infection I think - did the Dr put him on anything last time? When we had green nose the DR just said to give him the demazin and panadol, and we only got the antibiotics bcos it went to his chest and he was rally rattley.
Was I the only one up last night? Jake was inconsolable from 11pm to 2.30 or 3ish just calling out and crying, would doze for 10 mins then start again. Once again tried him going down without dosing him, but once again not successful.... maybe will have to go back to dosing 2nite. I might try him just on nurofen after dinner and see if that gets us through. Of course he slept until 6.30 but wouldn't go back for his little after BF nap he usually has in the morning so we have been go go go with my eyes hanging out of my head, and DH has his Asia-Pacific GM in today for a meeting plus a few other big wigs.... poor daggles his eyes were so red this morning when he left.
Supposed to go to a Gold Coast meet up today but am too tired to do the driving which sucks bcos was really looking forward to meeting the other girls.
mmmmm.... no2 Vicky is being discussed - Darren wants to start ttc September which could potentially be a winter baby and there is no way I want to be getting up 2-3hours with a newborn in the middle of winter! But then our first pg took ages to conceive but when we decided to start trying again after mc and I had all clear from my molar pg we conceived Jake in the first cycle.
AAArrrrrggggh! Jake is now trying to climb and get his legs up on everything! He was climbing on his flip out couch yday and :lol:the couch unfolded on top of him :lol: poor little man wasn't sure what to do and I was pmsl !! Trying to climb on top of boxes, me, the couch, the window sill ( low windows) and out of the bath!! Where's my little bubba who used to sit quietly on his mat and play with his toys!!!!!
Hope everyone else had a good night.
Sorry Meredith was typing my mammoth post and missed yours - Jake is skipping him morning sleep after his feed to. It's doing my head in not have that extra hour sleep!
Hugs nelly - that's how I felt yesterday - too dangerous to drive anywhere. I'm definately going to go to the doctor. He won't be going to swimmng lessons tomorrow either. Aston is into using me as his climbing frame too!! Thinks its very funny.
meredith, I had lots of problems with Aston when he starting solids, we started and stopped several times, and it has really been only int he last 3 weeks that I can honestly say that he is eating... rice cereal upset him, so I ended up trying pears, and avocado, and the were successful. Now he is eating lots of things. but it took ages. I know Tara has been having some problems with Evie.
btw meredith, do u have any recent photos of Logan??
We have been on and off with the solids too. Not because any reaction, just that he doesn't want any. he does ok with brekkie - rice cereal and fruit and now some yoghurt but certainly doesn't take great quantity. We try veges etc in the late afternoon/evening. He had been starting to take more interest but this week not keen at all. Just clamps his mouth shut and turnds his head away!
I know he is fine with BM but I would like to see the return of my cycle so we can consider no 2 and not much chance of that when he is almost exclusively BF.
Vicky, I hope you get Aston into dr today and all is ok. Has he any other symptoms other than the nose?
Re the photos - We have plenty but I am not very good with the computer so not really sure how to get them onto the webpage
nelly - Hoping you have some better sleep soon. Must be an age-related thing with all of our babies being so unsettled atm
OOOh, I tell lies! My Lovely DH HAS updated photos on the website.
Recent photos of Logan - just click on the site in my signature
As you can tell, it's been darn cold in Victoria! Logan LOVED the beach but was sooooo cold - his poor hands were blue after playing in the sand.
Solids for us consists of jar fruit at 2pm and bowl of either pumpkin or potato at 6pm. Gave her some bread the other day and choked...Craig freaked. Had a few munches on some pasta but was off that soon after. I wanna give new stuff but to scared.. so im gunna ask the nurse next week what to do and how. I swear im the worst mum when it comes to solids... i give her nothing compared to some of you in here.
ETA: Oh my Logan is a hunny Meredith!!!
Meredith - AJP had trouble getting food into Sophie, so she tried feeding her with her fingers, then tried a different type of spoon, and now I think is having success. (is that right Jols??) Love the photos too - he looks as cheeky as Aston!
Aston nose seems to have settled down this afternoon, which is good, I couldn't get into the doctor today anyway!! I'm not going to take him swimming though tomorrow, just in case.
Meredith - gorgeous pics! I need to get me a website thingy.....
Kim & Meredith - I found a food that Jake loved (apple) and used it as a base to introduce all of his new foods until he was happy to try new stuff. Texture was a big thing for him. It worked really well for us and he now eats 3-5 meals / day and 3-4 BF - but he is realllllly tall boy 97th percentile for height.
Vicky - i hope the cold settles down
I was thinking, do you think the last few unsettled nights are because it's getting a bit warmer at night (ie 10 instead of 4) and the kiddies are getting too warm? I still tie myself in knots every night over what to dress Jake in and am obsessed with checking the weather/ overnight temps every night to try and divine what to dress him in. :redface:
What else could be a reason - I seem to be blaming everything on teeth atm!
Meridith - we found she took to solids when we reduced the BFs. Ella doesnt have night feeds after 10pm and this has made her more excited about food. He now has lots of variety but LOVE casserole and beef pasta bolognese and dried figs. She will eat anything off my fingers and is starting to want to feed herself.
Nelly - i blame it all on teeth too :). its been warm the last few days here in Sydney but I havent changed what i dress ella in at night...maybe i should....
Ann
lol nelly and ann - my girlf friend was saying to me just the other day - "I swear people must be sick of my saying that - its her teeth" Her little girl is 22mths. But in all honesty, those first two years when they are getting their teeth, most of what is going on is about their teeth, and because they can't yet TELL you - hey mum,my mouth hurts, you get yourself in knots working out whether its this or that.... Nathan and Laura still get sore mouths when they are getting teeth (yes it even hurts when there is a new one pushing through a baby tooth! and also the other molars they get later.But at leat they can tell me!) Any of you had your wisdom teeth come up?
2 of my wisdoms have come up... and then had all 4 removed!!! 2 of them were lazy and layin down pushin all my other teeth!!!
i got the top two i think 2 years ago and i had to use bongela!!! i must have had a 24hr bug, was throwing up yesterday still not feeling 100% but better.
we had a bit better night, she slept through till 3 then had bottle and in bed with me till 8...but im still wondering where o where my sleeping through baby went!!!
Emelia copies things we do now!! so cute she will poke her tongue out and blow (makes the farting noise!) its so funny goes on for ages, and she tilts her head to the side when we do it!! there is a pic of her doing it on webpage
OMG Emelia is sooo cute.. love her eyes.. WTG standing with one hand too.... we keep faliing..one day Chels will get the hang of it!
LOL at her tooth shot....it took me 35 mins to get Chelsea's for her site!
hehe thanks! i love her eyes too hope they stay blue too..
Chelsea is adorable, cant wait to see wat her little bro/sis looks like :D not long now
when Emelias teeth first came through took me ages to get a pic, her tongue would always get in the way!!
