Teru: Jude scratches his face too, no matter how often I cut his nails. I've been thinking of trying to file the corners smooth but cutting is already difficult enough. I'm just hoping he'll grow out of it. He seems to figure everything else out on his own.
Tanya: Check out the department stores (Myer, DJs) and see if they have any old stock they want to offload for half price. I bought a new (but old stock) grobag for $41 from DJs. I have a 1.0 tog that I use for Jude right now. The nursery thermometer that came with the grobag says 24 deg (or slightly less), but some nights it feels colder so we dress Jude in a full bodysuit with feet and all on cold nights. He sleeps well. I think you have to judge what is right for your baby (the grobag package says the same thing).
I took Jude for his 6-month checkup the other day (it was a bit delayed because he had been sick) and he's had a huge growth spurt. He went from the 5th percentile in length to the 30th percentile between 4 months and 6 months.
He's also been sleeping from 6.30pm to 6.30am with not so much as a peep right through the night. He's been doing that since about 5 months old. I never forced any routines or dreamfeeds on him, he just figured it out for himself.
Just 2 days ago he started rolling on to his tummy all the time (he has been able to roll for ages, but he hated being on his tummy) and now he pushes up with his feet so his bum sticks up in the air (with his face still down on the mat). I'm thinking he's pretty determined and it won't be too long before he starts crawling. Uh Oh!
Hope you're all well. Sorry I don't have time to read back through all the posts, I have to go to the supermarket.
