Trish - if you have been on AB's maybe some acidofilus (sp?) might help you? The Inner Health Plus have tablets ones but I have found the powdered much better, you keep it in the fridge. Just check it is OK with BF but I think it would be.
Re the wraps thing I also had to make my own and I have been using a cotton cot sheet lately - perfect size
Must run,

Happy birthday Rebecca. Hope DH and Caitlyn spoil you.
Trish - I take a yakult every second day. It might help with gut health etc.
Think I'll ask MIL to make up some wraps for me. I like the idea of using a cot sheet. I have heaps of those that are waiting to be used.
L did 11pm to 4am overnight. Tried to settle without doing a feed, but the little tyke must have been hungry. Anyway, back to bed just before 5 and we slept to 7. At least it wasn't up at 2am and then 4 like it has been.
Busy day today. Got a termite inspection this morning and then in the afternoon some realestate people coming over to appraise the house. Better go and get my day started.

I have to say....and I dont mean to be bragging so sorry if it sounds like it!....I did think that Caitlyn was a terrible sleeper at night. But after reading some posts I realise that I must be pretty lucky! she normally sleeps from around 6 pm until anywhere from 130 to 3 am. And I dont wake her at 10 like I was planning to for a feed. She has a bath at 530, then a feed, then bed. Last night she went down at 610 and didnt wake up until 245 this morning when I think I woke her cause I was watching the kittens. So sorry if that sounded like a brag....just thinking how lucky i must be!

happy birthday Rebecca!! awww kittens u will have to put some pics in the gallery! cant say im too fond of cats but kittens\are V cute!
Leah- i actually have 2 of those bags, used them aot over our outings just gone! but i dont like that they dont acually have straps on them to throw over your shoulder if u want! and if u have a bag strapped each side fine for park etc but at the shops it turns a narrow pram into a wide pram! i cannot fit my kapoochi bag over the rail bit cause it woul sit on Tyrons head so use one of them for the kids stuff but there is no compartment sections on them and always up ending the bag to get what i need. i am just being over critical but these sort of things you cannot know b4 u start using them every day.
i do love the P & T pram but for the money ive spent on it (over $1000 on all the different aparatuses) i really think my old pram (about $400)was much more practical only that i couldnt attach a toddler seat to it.
Nixon handled 3 big days in a row really well. Tyron did my head in on Sunday from 12.30pm till 10.30pm that night he had a total 1hr sleep (2x 30min naps) he wasnt grumpy the whole time but by the end of it i just wanted him t GO TO SLEEP! yeah i was pretty nakkered by it all also.
Willow- which paper were u in? ive seen the article on the web and u guys look great! you have to come to one of our meets in Parramatta. Your Claire is away atm and was the main organiser, ursula & KateP also go. i was going to c if u guys wanted to start meeting at diff spots? the 2 times i have been to the cafe Nixon has cracked it. he does not want to sit in the pram while i have a chit chat! i was embarrassed last time & appologised to the staff he was so loud. (got ty going aswell gee what a great mum!) i was thinking like a play centre so older ones can run around? or even our houses? id happily have everyone over here, let me know what u all think

Happy birthday Rebecca, how cute kittens. Would love to see some pics as-well.
Maddi also sleeps pretty well, she'll go down at 8:30-9:30pm then wake at 7-8am.
Must be because she's FF.

Jasmine has her last feed about 9pm and wakes around 7-730am.
Only last night...last feed at 10pm, woke at 430am, then woke at 8am!
I need some bigger wraps. Jas MUST be wrapped....where as Chelsea hated being wrapped..
Registered User
Happy Birthday Rebecca! Hope you have a great day
I've got a great night sleeper too - Tahlia goes down about 10 and wakes about 8.30... if formula makes them sleep longer, imagine what I'd get from formula!
Registered User
Kellie you would be one lucky mum lol, Maddi never slept more than 3 hours while i was b/fing.
That may have been because she was young & need alot of feeds tho.
Registered User
Nixon was BF and still did similar hours to that so i think its just the individual baby and how they sleep. Nixon still loves his sleep and sometimes amazes me how long he can sleep in for or go down for during the day, Seings Ty has been sleeping well o/n i hope his patterns stay for when he is older too!

Well everyone I am at work now and have nothing to do....AGAIN!! I have been chasing people for money and the novelty has worn off....with interest rates being so high etc I feel like a piece of carp telling people that they have 7 days to pay! Being such a small town too people know me....I'm just doing my job...
Other than that I am having a good day. The girls (and guy) at work bought me a cake (and here I am trying to lose weight!) and made me a cuppa. I have managed (in 43 degree heat!) to get a cold and am feeling a little yucky after such a rough night with the kittens. I have posted a pic in the gallery if you wanted to look. It was taken on my mobile phone though so I dont know how good it is! I have only managed to take one so far - will take a few more when I finish work this afternoon.
I am thinking that I want to buy a sewing machine. I would be able to make a few wraps and the curtains that I have been waiting for my mum to make for me... only 2 months now!! Ha ha ha
Anyway - will go and have a bit of cake and a bit of my coffee....mwah

Nic - it was in the Sunday Telegraph on Sunday, page 7 (shared the page with Ange & Brad). Would be interested in meeting up with some other mums, would depend where and on what day though as DD is in preschool 2 days starting this week and I need to be nearby for drop offs, pick ups on those days. Are you over Liverpool way? I don't know where C/Norton is!! LOL.
Trish - sorry to hear K has been a bit unsettled. Hopefully the antib's make a difference but I hope you still get better if you stop taking them! He's a good bub, I'm sure he'll settle down again.
Rebecca - happy bday! Hope you have a great day, was nice of your cat to give you such a lovely bday present! I know what you mean about thinking you had a bad sleeper - I thought DS was a shocker during the day but reading posts here and in my Nov thread, I realised he's actually not bad at all! He still feeds at 10pm, 1am and then again at about 4/5/6am but it doesn't really worry me at this stage. I'm not feeling any huge desire for him to sleep through for a few months yet. He is a very quick feeder and settles back to sleep straight away so we're only up for about 10mins at a time, so still getting plenty of sleep!
DS woke this morning at what I thought was his 5/6am feed, so I just got up, fed him and put him back down. He didn't settle as quickly as he normally does so I checked the time and it was 7am! LOL, ah well, he went back to sleep for another hour and a bit, we got up at 8.15am.

Well, I rang the chiro today and they could see us at lunchtime (yay!). I took Kieran in and told the chiro about his unsettledness, back arching etc...and the chiro found that his right shoulder was out a little. He said it looks like an injury, but I can't for the life of me think of how it happened. I can only guess it was from me dressing him? I don't know, but I feel like a bad mother again lol! He said he could have injured it just playing too, so who knows. But anyway, he fixed his shoulder up. Kieran didn't cry once, I was so proud of him! I got him home and he fed for 15 minutes as opposed to his usual 5 minutes and he played happily on the floor without arching his back. I put him to bed just before and he was happy instead of crying like he has been doing over the last few days. I think we may have fixed the problem!!! I suppose only time will tell, but it is all good so far!
Rebecca - What an awesome birthday present your cat gave you! Now your kittens share your birthday, awww... I saw the picture of them, they are just gorgeous! I can't believe they are all a different colour. What are you going to do with them when they get a bit older?
Leah - Thanks again for another tip! I will have to look into getting that stuff, I have a health food shop nearby.
Saffi - Are you looking at selling your house? Or are you just getting an evaluation? We got an evaluation a few months ago just out of interest.
Nic - It's good to know about the P&T prams from actual owners! I had no idea you could have probs like that. If we have a third bub I would look into getting one, but it's handy to know what other's think of them.
Mo - Maddi is such an angel sleeping so well at night for you!
Kellie - If Kieran didn't wake until 8:30am I wouldn't know what to do with myself! Actually, I could find lots to do lol! Joel used to sleep much longer o'night than Kieran does, but Kieran's not too bad so I can't complain.
Willow - Yay for your DS for sleeping until 7am! I hope he keeps doing that for you!
Ahhh...it's so peaceful...both boys are asleep...so nice...

REBBECCA HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD ONE!!!
I started writning post earlier and then my power decided to shut of for a minute so i cant for the life of me remember everything i read and was writing!!
Isabella and I have had a big week, I went and saw Bon Jovi last week YAY!!! and then we've been down the coast over the long weekend.
Her teething seems to be bothering her the last few days aswell but still nothing coming through! she wont take a teething ring, gummy dummy or anything that isnt her hand or my finger
I am having a bit of an issue with my mum... she babysits Isabella on SAt when i work and has done for about 6 weeks now.. my issue is that my lil bro & sis (11 & 13) dont leave Isabella alone when she is there they are always in her face and my M & D dont think she is tired until she is screaming.. they dont believe in routines and think i'm silly for having one for her. so by the time i pick her up she is tired and grumpy and eally hard to settle for the night... i have told them numerous times about her routine but they thnk it doesnt matter... i need to work that 1 day a week for some extra $$$ but dont know what to do about this. BTW last sat her godmother looked after her and she was her norm happy self when she came home so its not that i'm not there!!!
any suggestions would be appreciated!
Rebecca - Happy Birthday! Hope ya get really spoilt!
Willow - How do I find this famous pic that everyone is talking about? It sounds great!
Mo - Yeah Chels is FF too. She sleeps 8.30 - 7am most nights, give or take an hour. Cant complain about that!!
Trish - Oh you poort thing! Dont feel like a bad Mum though. Its not like you did it on purpose! Babies are so delecate, it could have happened to any of us. And at least it is all fixed now!
Nerida - We still on for Thursday? I'll PM you my number too, in case we have any probs!
Brissy girls - Have we decided on the first Thursday of every month?
Well, weighed myself this morn, so far in 3 weeks I have lost 4kg and 4cm! Yippee. Not a lot, but this time I feel really motivated so Im determined to succeed!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY REBECCA!!
Hope you have had a wonderful day!
I stopped wrapping Kaylee ages ago as she has been sleeping on her stomach for ages and ages, so stopped wrapping not long after and she is a pretty good sleeper now!
Trish - glad to hear the Chrio helped! some Inner Health Plus would be good for you to take if you have justed stopped taking ABs... and perfectly safe while breastfeeding!
I have been doing a pram fitness class twice a week for a couple of weeks now... ARG! I am so unfit, but hoping this will help get me motivated to exercise more, eat less and healthier. I seriously need to trim down and get fit! Had a class this morning and I am exhausted... K has just gone down for a nap, I think I might go have a little mamma-nap before I organise dinner etc...

Heya all,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY REBECCA!!!
Sleeping-Ryan sleeps from 7pm to 7am and has a hour during the day and is happy and wants to play the rest of the time I don't think it's normal but he won't sleep any other way and is such an energiser bunny! How many hours sleep should a 3 1/2 month old get?
Off to the dr tomorrow to get a check up from the hospital visit and maybe some bleeping answers. Also my gallbladders been causing me a bit of grief and I think it may be related to hormones not only diet because I've been eating a gallhappy diet and I still get attacks but when I was pregnant I never got one, nor after, but since I started on the pill it's not only at night but I've had a few during the day which NEVER happened before. I've got one 2.5 cm stone they were going to remove but then I found out I was pregnant hoping for a diet/hormone easy fix though!
Trish- stop feeling like a bad mum! You are a awsome mum darl, is it possible it could of happened on the way out into the big wide world? Or some kungfu bed moves? I'm glad they found it though I hope he'll feel better soon
Everyone else- loves to all, need to go lay down though so sorry I'm not replying to ppl individually *hugs*
