Well I spoke too soon... The malt has begun and I am really shedding heaps of hair at the moment. My shower plug get full of hair nearly everyday and I have hair all over the house as well.....
Congrats on all our babies now reaching the 3 month milestone . Tara still hasn't started to roll as yet but maybe this is because she absolutely hates being on her stomach and screams the house down when put that way, and also I have probably been a bit lax making her have tummy time due to her reflux and not wanting her to spewy everywhere. Although I think we have the reflux under control (thanks to thickener) and I have found I can generally put her flat on the floor after feeding without anything coming back up.
We also seem to have now found a good routine, nights have always been pretty good but during the day it has been a bit of hit and miss. But she now wakes up around 7.45am and has her bottle about 8am, goes back to sleep around 9-9.15am and sleeps normally until 12pm (fantastic for me to then be able to get all my housework done). She then has her next feed between 12.30-1pm, has a play and then back down for a nap, she then wakes up for another play of around 1 1/2 to 2 hours, has another nap and then has a feed around 5.00-5.30pm. Then nap again, playtime - including a bath if needed and then finally a small bottle at 8pm and off to bed by 8.30pm.
I'm starting to get all the stuff together as well to start her on solids next month as well which hopefully she will take to. Is everyone else going to start solids at 4 months or wait until 6 months?? I think Tara will be ready for it by 4 months as she is already used to having thickened formula so should be a good transition and she also loves watching me & DH eat and copying the mouth action..
I hope all of your little ones are thriving and giving you all lots of smiles and giggles and just so much love.
I was wanting to wait till 6 months as the current research suggests this is best and also because its one less thing for me to worry about at the moment, but the Paed had told me to start Ella on solids in about 3 weeks which would make her abiut 4.5 months as he thinks this should help the reflux!
Poor baby had her needles last night - it makes me get so distressed seeing her scream and today had a temperature for the first time! I was told at 6 months they are giving the swine flu vacc - but unsure whether to have her done or not, what bout you gals?
izzy isnt getting any needles till 12 months, and even if she was getting them, there'd be no way in hell she'd be getting the swone flu vacc, noone knows the long term efects of it, im not going to be injecting a rushed vaccine into her little body just because they tell me to
Thats my thoughts about the swine flu vac too - I am just not comfortable with it but the nurses at the clinic were bullin the mothers of babies who were altready 6 months into getting it done. I just want ammo when I go for her 6 month needles to say "no" its my choice!
Thanks!
hun u dont even need ammo, like u said no, its ur choice and if u dont want it theres nothing they can do, although they will try guilt u into it! but if u realy dont want it then stand your ground!
ive had to do that sooo many times already with choosing to delay izzy's vaccs, its highly annoying!
the way i see it, i dont want the swine flu vacc for myself, because it doesnt sit right with me, so why would i get my tiny baby to have it?
skye i agree, i will be saying no too. its just too new.
sounds like the bubs have been busy lately! everyones on to their problems and getting them solved which is great.
jades been such a good sleeper, but has a 3hr screamathon every night when put to bed, once she goes to sleep thats it for the night, but to settle her is the hard part. cant complain too much she sleeps through.
she was in hospy twice just after xmas dehydrated and wouldnt drink, they put it down to her reflux, so shes on zantac, seen the pead monday who increased the zantac and prescribed losec if it doesnt improve. he advised us to start solids in 2 weeks when shes 16 weeks, she has had some farex in lieu of thickener a couple of times already, which the pead said was a good idea so thankgod he agreed with me or id have felt bad for giving her so early, but its very minimal, once every couple of days. she took to eating like a duck to water, opens her mouth waiting for the spoon. awww my babies growing up way too fast, im so not ready for her to be eating solids
where is everyone?
maya how are you and bub? is she better now?
dm, lj, heavenly everyone ive missed, hi, hope ur allwell
