[Junglemum]

hi all. Well have moved house, still waiting for little man to come and put satellite on house so i can get internet at home. Yes we live in the middle of nowhere now.
Am in library with big boob in lu's gob to keep her quite and typing one handed! So sorry about the errors.

Havn't read the million posts since i was last here, will try and catch up when internet on at home.

Lu is 5 months and a few days now. Rolls around all over the place. Had to stop wrapping her at 4 months b/c she could roll over, so now happily sleeps in grow bag. She was sleeping through but has started waking ever 2-3hrs hunrgy, so going to start rice cereal today i think. Can't do sleep deprivation. Either that or top her up with formula at night maybe....... dunno.... any advice?

She has started this hilarious nose drag manouvre, She makes a crawling action with her legs but her arms don't move so she rubs her nose and forhead along the carpet. amusing to watch.

Have lost all baby weight but none of my clothes fit. My ar$e is about 2 inches wider i think. And my muffin top is something muffin break would aspire to.
Jelly belly sux.

Sorry to post all about ME! Will catch up on you lot soon.

Hey Ange! - good to hear that the move went well and you're settled in. Life without the Internet would be unbearable! My laptop dies for an hour and I go into shock. Happy 5 months to Lu.
Viv - I think I have seen sachets at the chemist of other formula brands. We use S-26 Alpha gold and have no probs, but L doesn't seem to be lactose intolerant. Seems like you may have the answer. As always its the mummy who has to make the sacrifice! How are you going generally?

Thats it.

thanks Trish! I have an ergo carrier and love it cause its so easy! The only thing I can say bad about it is that it kinda digs into Myles legs a little but I am sure once it softens up more it will be ok! Its really really comfy! Hope your day gets better!

Ange Well hello! I saw you on one of the web pages with Lu for the GDUNH woowoo! Cant remember which one but I love their nappies! too cute!

saffi great to hear L is sleeping in his big cot!


Well had my hair done today so I feel human again! Now just have to get the eyebrows and nails done and I will feel a little better!
Anyway have to go keep hunting Have a great day! X

Viv- Could you possibly write/email to the companies and ask them to send you samples?? A friend of mine did that to Tommee Tippee, Avent and Nuk and they all sent her 1 x bottle and 1 x dummy! I was amazed (and jealous that I hadnt thought of it!!)
Not really much to say today. C is not sleeping very well. I am feeling like the worst mum in the world again today. She was really restless over the weekend and I couldnt figure it out. Of course after washing her bottles I figured it out - the teats were split! She is still using the newborn teats (yes almost 5 months and still using them!) and so basically they were the equivalent to the number 2 teats. So she was getting too much milk! Poor little thing. Was wondering how she was managing to get through a full bottle without a break!
Anyway - am off to the chemist when I finish work to buy some new teats. But....she seemed to settle down a lot this morning so I am wondering if it is because she has become used to the larger hole now......so am stuck on what to do! What to spend money on. I have some newborns at home (4) but have 9 bottles!!
Oh well - decisions decisions. I had better head off - I actually have some work to do now!! YAY
have a great day all - mwah
