LeaLea - your bub may be having "night terrors". Mine does the same. We just comfort her (usually a breastfeed then back to bed).
If Georgia is becoming toilet aware, that's great. Lots of different things people do with that.
- if child can tell you when a poo is coming, have a potty nearby to put her on
- other people say to wait until summer
- some people buy baby legwarmers to make it warmer for baby to TT (toilet train) in winter
- some people say don't try until they keep waking up with a dry night nappy
- other people practise "elimination communication" from newborn stage onwards, so they have signals for when baby wants to go wee or poo.
In the last few days, bilby has been able to pat the front of her nappy very emphatically, once she HAS poo-ed. So maybe that's her first sign of toilet awareness. She doesn't have teh verbal skills to tell me what it is.
i'm been modelling the behaviour for her, leaving the loo door open and telling her what i'm doing. (the things we do heh? LOL this is short for laugh out loud). Myabe it's sinking in!
Yesterday when i collected her from CC (childcare), she was patting the front of her nappy and the workers said, no it can't be that, we just changed her. So i ignored her signal, went to feed her on their lounge, and POOO EEEE, yep, had to go change her. So i should listen to her more.
i'm so glad she's past the stage of wanting to put her fingers in the poo!
KIM - good luck with the single bed situation! THREE days now!!
AJP - hope you get some roid relief soon, ouch.
TARA - don't worry hon, after having a bub, not much is TMI (too much information) to me now! I found roids scarey, the having to push them back in part - eeek. I had them when i went into labour and for the first few weeks after the c-section. I wish i'd had the cloth post partnum pads for that time, the disposable pads irritated me.
gigi sophie does the same when she's poo'd!! also says it when she want s to wee or about too, i ususally rush her to the potty and hope i havent missed it! we catch is 50 % of the time!!
Thanks guys, feeling a bit better. LOL it sucks that you go through having a natural birth and then have to worry about doing #2's lmao i'm like "i pushed out a baby for crying out loud!!!" (yes i know it's not the same out-passage lol lol)
Kim - i had some coloxyl from when i had evie but i've always been so sensitive to laxatives..is it a harsh one? like it hits you all of a sudden?
Tara it would only hit me hard if i took the maximum 4...LOL....normally 1 would help, but sometimes id take 2 if i felt like it was bad.....but really...they are gentle and ive heard sooo many people say its the best thing they have taken and work well.
