Gotta go -tis Bianca's bath time - time to start nightly routine! :crossfingers: she sleeps well again tonight!
he is a qualified Tyre Fitter.. so something in that industry. Mia just had a feed and she actually took the whole 150mls! shes being crabby tho. Not going to give her anymore of that infants friend, it has upset her more than anything. Ill just keep her on Karicare and hopefully i will sort hr system out. I might go give her a bath too.. see i that calms her down.
Noooo!! Not Brizzy, come to the Bay! It's so pretty here. And it's the Whale Watching Capitol of the world!!!! Oh! And a nice quiet small-town feel - great for raising kids! ;) hehehe.
That would worry me if Liam only took the 40-60ml too. Was that on top of a BF? Still, if they sleep afterwards they have to be happy enough. Good that she took the full amount tonight tho. Yay!!
We started on Heinz Nurture tonight so hopefully it will be better for his tummy.
HJ congrats on Biancas long sleep!!! Just think, one day they'll be sleeping until mid-day and we'll have to wade through their messy rooms to rant and rave at them to wake them up! :lol:
How is everyone finding formula feeding and the pooping situation.. i find jorda pooping hard poop right now.. i guess i need to go to the pharmacy and get something..
Has anyone started christmas shopping..
had to get a new tin of formula this morning. Went for the NAN Gold one. Nearly died on the ass when i seen the price.. but hopefully it will sit better with her. I dont want to change again, its going to do more harm than good if i do.
talk soon..
Hollye - i found that infants friend upset B more too - i think it made her wind and gas prob worse! Matt should have no probs finding work! Definatly here in Brissy! hehehe
1stBub27 - i must admit DH and i went to hervey bay before we had Bianca cause i wanted to go whale watching which was absoloutly breath taking an amazing expereience and where we stayed was gorgouse also - so Hervey Bay is nice!
How is Liam going on his new formula?
didi - Bianca has hardish poop also since being on formula - when she gets a bit constipated we give her some coloxyl which helps heaps!
We have started our Chrissy shopping but still lots too go - just cant get in the mood to do it this year for some reason! Have u started urs?
Well the previous night was not surprisingly too good to be true - Bianca was back to her old ways again last night! However we went to clark rubber today and got her a softer matress - so hopefully that might help a bit also!
DH is out in lounge room playing with her at the moment and he just called for me too come quick - he saw Bianca roll over from Belly to Back for the first time! He is such a proud daddy!
oh bummer bianca wasnt a good little chicken lastnight. Mia was pretty good after she finished her "moment" that lasted about 3 hours. When she did go to sleep it was 9:30pm and she slept till 4:30am.. so im happy with that!
wooohoooo im not a platinum member of Belly Belly! go me!!! :D:D
btw wooooooooooooooohhoooooo for bianca rolling over!! u go girl!
yeh our lil girl is growing up too fast!
and woohoo ur platinum member!!!!! good work! how does it feel? hahaha
What is ur nightly routine with Mia - how do u get her too bed?
to get her down for the night i usually have to lay her next to me on OUR bed.. on a pillow. Shes a side sleeper and wont sleep any other way. Once she is then in a deep sleep (this take up to 30 mis or so) then i move her on the pillow to where i want her eg,,,in her cot.
Before that its feeding, changing, rocking etc etc etc. But usually the feed times are 7pm and about 9:30-10pm. depends on the day..
we bath B at around 1730 than usually she will have a drink at 1800-1830 than another around 2130-2200 than its bed - do u still wrap Mia at all? we do with B but she dosent like her arms in so we leave them out - these days between 1600 and the time she goes to be she is wide awake with maybe only a 10min cat nap here and there in her bouncer if we bounce her so it is full on!
sounds like our routine is similar!
Has anyone else got a different routine? i would love for Bianca to go to bed earlier - but as much as we try it wont happen!
re wrapping - no.. she used to be wrapped up to about 2 weeks. She now cant stand it, she gets all frustrated as she likes her arms out too and she likes to move.
Goodmorning Everyone!
How are we all this morning?
Morning all!
Thank goodness it is the 1st! I have my broadband limits back! :leap:
We are doing super well - Im a bit embarrassed to say how well James is sleeping because Ive been there with Izzy but needless to say we are in a pretty good routine.
Basically once he is up in the morning (after 7) he is up for as long as he likes before he lets us know he is tired and ready for bed, usually 30 mins and we are now putting him back in the hammock unwrapped! Im wrapping at night but during the day he woudn't sleep in the hammock for more than 30 mins and I finally tried him unwrapped and he loves it. He then sleeps generally until his next feed and is feeding roughly 3 hourly during the day. If he has had a huge sleep at night he will demand 2 hourly and I try to at least stretch him out to 2 1/2 by changing his nappy etc but will generally just give him what he wants. His pattern is the same for the rest of the day until we get close to 7. With Izzy as well we made 7 bed time and quiet time so any feeds after that are in the dark, no talking, no play just cuddles and back to bed. He will generally have his last 2 feeds close together between 6-8 and then to bed. If it's a bath night we do that just before his last feed. I'm up once between 7-7. Sorry :redface:
Anyway we had friends for dinner last night and they mentioned how I am back to my normal self again now and how nice it was to see! I've got my Tan glow back apparantly! Obviously the c/s took it out of me a bit! Nice to talk about something other than feeds and babies too!
Didi- I think you asked! I've started a bit of shopping. Im trying to get one pressie each time I go out because I can't do the "last minute 3 days before Christmas marathon shop til it's all done" trip like I used to! Izzy lasts about 2 hours in the pram before being feral!
Right Im off to MG have a great day all!!!! :) Hoep bubs are being kind!
Anyway that is our routine!
feeling great today! Mia has been fastastic all yesterday, lastnight and today. I think we finally have a routine. she fed again at abot 10pm lastnight ans slept through till 4:30am, went back down at 5:20 and slept till 9am. oh i can deal with that quite easily!
oh listen to the 2 (Tan and Hollye)of u rubbing in how well ur little angels sleep! thanks!!!!!!
I got Bianca weighed today and she is now 4.4kgs! what a lil heffa (ops thats not nice is it?)
Also she has come out with little pimples on her face - the nurse said it might be just from the heat or it could be eczema which i REALLY hope it isnt! she said to ask my Pead when i see him for 6wks check up!
Has anyone else's bub got this? or is my bub once again the only problem child hehehehe ;)
Oh also last week i saw a cute lil christmas outfit for Bianca to wear in Big W and i said i would come back and get it - well guess what? its gone!!!!! no where to be found at all! im so upset! not pretty outfit for B this year! How rude of Big W!
Hi hj1981,
Olive had pimples at around the same age as your bub and everyone just said they were milk pimples. They have pretty much all disappeared now so I wouldn't worry too much until her check up.
Olive has also been sleeping well at night, usually having one big 7hr sleep at the beginning of the night which is nice then 4-5hrs after that. I was a bit worried about her sleeping after going back to exclusively BF as the formula seemed to really knock her out but thankfully she's happy and still sleeping. It's nice to BF again but the antibiotics have been upsetting bubs tummy a bit which sucks and my poor old nipples are still very sore but it's all worth it.
I haven't done any xmas shopping yet. It's kinda hard to buy for Olive, she has everything she needs but I want her to have some pressies for her first xmas. I'm going to get a baby swing and maybe a baby braclet, what's everyone else getting their bub's?
