Babies Born October 1st-15th 2008 #6

lol snap SamiH - my AF has arrived again too. Guess I'm on a regular cycle already :rolleyes: 29 days...

We're gonna go out for lunch tomorrow or Sun... and I'm pretty sure he's not leading me up the garden path re pressie... don't think it exists. I'll tell him I need a shopping spree instead.

teru - I had a few ppl say to give panadol "in case' but then had plenty of other ppl say that's not done these days - why give it to 'em if they don't need it? And I must say, X hasn't needed it at the time of the needles either time. So i definitely prefer not to... but personal choice, tricky if DP is saying that methinks.

I'm getting to BAS time of year again and I'm sooo behind in our bookkeeping. The last one was Oct which was an absolute nightmare. So I could say that i won't be around much the next few weeks... but :rofl: I'll prolly post more cos i'll be procrastinating!!!

Info :
Current guidelines for paracetamol.

It is not advised to routinely give paracetamol before are straight after injections.
As it can mask any initial reaction to the immunisations by reducing any approaching fever.

However if fever is extremely high or baby is very irritable this is when it is advised that paracetamol is better given :)

Hope that helps people out

ok anyone want to swap bubbas??? i would jack has slept all of 2hours today!!!!
one VERY tired lil boy...he has just been bathed and DH is feeding him now..then he will be in bed..he was falling asleep just before in the car on the way home from nannys house...

gee i WISH Mia slept 2 hours during the day...... IS he still on Farex Katones?? is he liking it? have you tried the pear and banana one???

Mia missed out on her 7:30pm feed, that what happens when ur screaming at mummy for 1.5 hours and fall asleep exhausted and mum decides not to bother ur cranky little bottom. So im hoping she will still sleep till 11pm when i get her up to feed.

its starting to near the time where we are starting our bubs on solids.. how exciting!!

HOllye are you waking her for a feed at 11?
Does she sleep through then?

i am putting off solids as long as i can lol...

PP - Mia goes to bes at 8pm every night, roll over feed at 11. see if i dont she does still sleep right through till 7am but from about 3 its tossing and turning etc. So 11 is when i usually go to bed and she hardly wakes for it and goes straight back down.

re solids - i have a feeling Mia will be on them about 5-5.5 months. she tries and grabs my food now the little piggy.

I'm most probably won't start solids until around 6mths as I did with Cody and even then he wasn't ready and started more like 7.5mths.

Hollye when you move up here I'll help with Mia if you need it :).

Big :hug: to everyone who's AF has decided to return.

hugs xoxo

oh nice hollye!

SO any news on the brissy front?

Well i tried something new with ashley tonight. (from the tv show today lol).
We did our usual bedtime routine. Then i turned off the light and sat in the chair silently next to her bed, She climbed off once and i put her back telling her it is bed time. And in less then 10 minutes asleep!!!!!

No screaming, no crying nothing!

wow i hope it wasnt a fluke and actually will work each night. 10 minutes is better than 1.5 hrs screaming.

Anyhow solids, yep ethan isnt really interested. DH let him suck the juice from a grape the other night lol!!! I am a big fan of child lead feeding. so will probably do that with him. Did it with ashley too - let her lead on the chewing front. ie giving her a 1/2 banana rather than mushing it etc.

well, ive gotten away with the panadol so far hope he forgets LOL i really dont know y im so against giving it to dragon

belfie- do u do ur own books? if u want to b a guinea pig, i'll do them for u when i come back. i need a test subject
sami- sounds stupid but in a way i envy u. i need AF to come back so my BF wont have to suffer...

re solids will start on our return...

teru - I'm also against giving Maya panadol unnecessarily. I don't give her any panadol before injections. I have only ever given her panadol once now and that was after the last lot of injections when she was very unsettled with a fever. I don't think the fever really needed paracetamol to bring it down, but she was very unsettled and I suddenly thought what if she was in pain and couldn't tell me. In the end I don't think the panadol did much to help actually.

belfie - Oh gosh you reminded me that I still have to do my tax from last year. :redface:

katones - I hope Jack went to sleep for you.

PP - I hope Ashley's bedtime routine continues to be a success.

I have no idea when it comes to introducing solids. I like the idea of child led but I don't know how to go about it. Though sometimes Maya seems so interested in putting things in her mouth that I want to give her some of my food to try. :lol:

Well.. DH is currently trying to get Maya to go to sleep! We've been trying since 9pm. He's taken over from me cos I was getting annoyed!

tanya - there are heaps of threads on her about BLS (baby led solids) well worth checking them out.

oh PP that's fabulous, I'm so happy for you! :cheer:

Teru - thanks for the offer, must admit I hate doing our books, but I'm trying to get more organised... :rolleyes:... at the moment it's not even in a good enough state to get someone else to do it (which I toyed with last quarter...) one day I'll be more sorted, but until then :wall:

don't think we'll start solids till 6 months... X is showing no signs of being interested at all. I haven't yet started looking at BLS, but I'm very intrigued and plan to look into it more. We're doing a dream feed tonight - X was fussy today, feeding more frequently (then spewing it up lol), so given his last feed was 5.20pm! I love dream feeds when they work - they're just so adorable.

wow belf - 6 weeks and he is 6 months! whoa!!! ill get some articles or u girls on BLS that i really like.

Sorry to hear AF is here for you Belfie & Sami. Wow, I wonder when I'll get her??? BJ is nearing 6months. Though I'm ovulating again. I need to wear a thin pad. Gross. I don't know if you remember but I was complaining a while back of how I woke up in the middle of the night with wet jarmies. Well the last couple of days I've been very wet down there. Sorry TMI... It's alot thinner then EWCM, but I'm guessing that's what it is. AF didn't show last time this happened so I hope she doesn't show this time either.

RE: Starting solids... I went to a talk at the clinic about starting solids & I told the lady (I guess shes a MCHN) that I didn't want to start solids till BJ is 6 months, in accordance to the WHO recommendation. And she said that you should start as soon as the baby is showing the 'signs' otherwise you could be delaying their speech & development & that recommendation is cause there are countries out there that don't have quality food therefore bubs would be best only on BM till 6mths, but here in Aus our food is a very high standard so best not to delay it if bubs is ready. Interesting.

SAMI How is Z? Do you think he's teething early? I think BJ is. These uncontrolable bouts of crying, or should I say screaming... He wakes up screaming & is really hard to re settle. My sister thinks that teeth grow while sleeping. What do you think?

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Georgi - Re: AF - i havent had AF since sept 2006 (no bleed with E - just a BFP) lol! BF seems to work well for me (even when on solids).

Im tired

yawn

Morning All, and Thanks re V.

Georgi - When I spoke to you re ewcm, I ended up getting it and got AF TWL. I must say what a terrible AF it was too.

Belfie, Sami - Me too!!!!:rolleyes: Got AF yesterday too, second time for me so looks like 29day cycle here too. I am expecting AF to be bad like last time...

PP - Thats great news about Ashley, so glad she slept without any dramas last night.

I hope all you girls have a great Valentines day today, DH and I dont buy each other anything except exchange cards and go out for a nice dinner together. Have done this every year and we are heading upto 18yrs married. Where does the time go...

Try as I might, I can not figure out what AF stands for or what's wrong with the word Menstruation.

How do you know you're on a 29-day cycle if you only just started menstruating again? Anyway, I'm glad as soon as mine returned you all followed suit. Is this the online equivalent of when a group of women live together?

My husband got up at 4am to feed Jude because I hadn't really slept much, and he sat Jude in my feeding chair while he went to wash his hands and Jude fell off the chair!!!! Poor baby was crying and crying, I knew he was hurt so I came running out and of course I couldn't get back to sleep after that, so I am pooooooped. But I had mango and ricotta pancakes with golden syrup for breaskfast so at least my tummy is happy.

Oh and Jude was ok, as soon as mummy came to the rescue he stopped crying. I was a bit worried about concussion but he's happy as larry today.

My cycles are pretty on par, but expecting soon for it to get back to a 30day one. They have always been pretty spot on. (I had only mentioned looks like not is) Does that sound snappy, I hope not. :redface: Not happy with AF at the moment. Anyway brighter note got my hair done yesterday so feel a bit better considering.
