Oh - I got the wrap in the mail today! So will be trying it tonight to see how we go! DH has been curious cause all I keep saying is I wonder when the angelwrap will arrive!!!

[~Trish~]

Willow - Your DS has been stacking on weight, so maybe his body is just stabilising now. K had a week a while back where he barely put on any weight and then he more than made up for it the following week. Great advise from your MCHN, not! Don't you just wish someone could give you a magic answer?!

Rebecca - Yay for the wrap arriving! Let us know if it is any good.

OK...methinks something is up with the boy. He's had two sleeps today of 2.5 hours, very little to no resettling - UNHEARD of!

CHN said perhaps he was coming down with something...maybe she's right...

I fed Indi some custard today. Her first solids ever. Last night i was eating a iceblock (she ws sitting on my lap) and was pulling my arm down and was trying to eat it! She got some red blotchyness on her face, im guessing it was because it was apple flavoured - Tiarna did the same with anything apple flavoured. Ill be buying her some farex to try next time.
I find the farex was def too thick when going by packet instructions so i always added more water. (you can mix it with boiled water)
Also you can start off feeding them farex in the morning to see how they digest it during the day. Thats what ill be doing. I wouldnt know if it makes indi constipated or not because she goes 2-3 days without a dirty nappy!

Hugs to all of those who need it! *Think of the light.......*
My hair has been falling out heaps too. Its a hormone thing! It eases up!

Star - We'll miss ya! Where you off too? Have a fantastic time!!!


I got me a Bumbo! They are so cute. And I think DS likes it just as much as DD at the moment. LOL.

I'll be back a little later - gotta hang the washing out!

Woohoo - L is now 6kg (6.09). Graduated up to crawler nappies now as well. Look a little big on him, but at least I can buy them in bulk.

Trish - we are going to Port Douglas. I am hoping that all the miserable weather Nth Qld has been having clears by the time we get up there.
Willow - hope L doesn't come down with anything. I'm hoping that he has turned the corner and is starting to sleep better for you.
Becky - go the Bumbo. I was telling the girls in my other MG about it. I should get a commission LOL.
Viv - :hugs: this motherhood thing is carp at times. What other job do you work 24/7 for no pay and only a little immediate reward? I guess the reward is seeing the little one grow into an accomplished human being.
Sorry to hear he had such a bad time with his needles. Hopefully he is getting over it now. L goes the week after next
I am sure JJ will love food. You are doing a great job BF, but don't be too hard on yourself for considering alternatives.

Thanks Kellie, Trish and Becky - we are off to Inverloch in VIC for one week and then skiing in Euchuca (not sure if that is how you spell it?) for one week. Should be fun - really looking forward to it! We leave Thurs morning.

Viv - poor little James! Needles are rough. Let us know how he goes on the farex -it does sound like he's hungry! I have a feeling that once you stop BF you will start to feel normal again - it's been a bit of a mission for you the whole way along and now that he's feeding so much it will be using every ounce of your energy and mucking around with your hormones too - go gentle on yourself!

Willow - What a terrible time you are having - I really hope it gets better soon. Is your L a Lachlan as well?

Aaaaghhh - I had heaps more to say but now that I can't quiick reply I can't scroll up and I forget who said what!! Sorry!

Oh Nerida - wanted to say that is awesome about Lachie!! He is catching up to Mateo now!

Question:Does anyone have babies with really bad eczema? Mateo has it all over him atm - we are using mitts to stop scratching, giving eucalyptus baths, have steroid cream and QV cream - is there anything else we can do?
