rach2281 hugs that would have been so hard

Rach75[/B] wow I never new that about teh rotaviris one..I knew it was a live vaccs but never knew about being super careful..will chat to the dr and make sure he knows lol!

Re the DH interaction with ds2 I feel he is about the same..cant so the same for me though..i am still feeling a little disconnected form hijm...I spose it is because I have a 2 yr old running around too so its easy for me to put Flynn in the swing while i do everything..but I never had the instant love connection wiht Flynn like I did Myles? I feel awful and I feel like i am neglecting him..which i know I am not...maybe its the GD issue too?

I feel like I neglect Jack at the moment, I am usually feeding luke and he plays up he was so used to it being him and me all day, we went to the shops the other day just him and me and he was like the little boy I have always had so well behaved I feel like I have been letting him down so am going to be more attentive, Luke had started taking a big nap in the middle of day so am going to try and do jack and me stuff, craft or play trains or something.. Jase is getting better, still not feeding him and he just has no clue when Luke cries, I am like have ya checked his nappy etc


Rach's - apparently the recommendation for solids at 4 mths is going back to old school ideas. Many years ago solids used to be given at 4 mths and this has some benefits in terms of allergy identification - the research has been that delayed introduction of variety of foods is interfering with immune development and is causing babies/kids to have more food intolerances than previously. I have attached a link for a short article i found on this, it just reconfirmed what the dr said to me though - can start at 4 months and introduce a new food each day. He also suggested i start with vegies first.
The Solids Controversy


AFM, i caved on wednesday and gave Eli a dummy
okay about solids each to their own just wasn't sure why he was saying it now IYKWIM!!!
I know what ya mean about the dummy I hate hate them but guess who has one he seriously will not use his thumb, he tucks it into his fist...but he needs that comfort at times, you could be like me I refuse to use it except for comfort I will not have him walkign around with one...


How is little Jack going?

AFM.... I caught up with Rach2281 on Friday!
Jack is doing great he has healed up real well, we had some terrible moments, we are making him have a shower every morning (he still has a night nappy) and he fights me all the way saying it hurts etc but jase can give him a shower and no complaints grrrr... and can I say I would say only one or two lots more of ointment left again cracks it if I have to apply the ointment fights me arches his back tries to move away but is a angle for Jase

and YAY for catching up with rach I hope when I get down brisbane way to catch up with the girls down there

AFM we are back from our weekend away to AGnes oh that was boring but I did get some great sleep saturday ... poor Luke was not himself the last few days dotn know if it was the needles or he got a little cold a few of the kids in town here have had fevers etc... we think he had a fever yesterday but as we were away no thermometre so we gave panadol on the safe side... he seems much more himself today... we also bought some thickener for his bottles he is such a spewy baby when we saw paed at 6 weeks we asked about it and she said it wont hurt to try, so hopign it will work, had to wait till we got home to use as it recomends using med flow teats and of course he was still on slow ones, so bottles are already to go with new teats, so pray it works I am tired of being spewed on ...oh also someone mentioned brauers pain releif and few posts back the only one I could find is not recomended for under 6 mths is there another one ???

ok should go to bed, luke has been down since 7.15pm ... hopign he sleeps till his usual wake up of between 1-2am
