Happy 6 months to Max
Trish - how frustrating. Hopefully now he will be on the mend.
Viv - GL with the sweet potato.
DH is adamant that we will introduce solids to L no earlier than 6 months. So only 2 weeks until that point.
Went shoe shopping for L yesterday. Little disappointed in the range for boys when compared to girls. DH wanted some Julius Marlow prewalkers - but they don't make them LOL. They do however come in larger sizes so he will get some and look like his Dad.

Trish can't believe no one picked that up, Hopefully he'll start to feel better soon & go back to being a happy baby for you.
Viv good luck with the sweet tottie, That is one of M's fav foods.
My sister is still in hospital, things have calmed downed she has another ultrasound on Monday to see how things are going, My little Nephew is doing well tho kicking up a storm.
They think she has an infection which is causing all the problems.
Thanks for asking
Sorry I have been absent, things are mental around here.
Well Amara is 6 months I can't believe it.
Off to the MCHN tomorrow for th eobligatory check up.
Needles on Tuesday, my poor bubba.
Still one toothy peg.
She ate about 2 tsp of rice with pureed apple tonight. Has not affected the overnight feeding one iota, still a feed around 11pm and then anytime from 3-4am...."sigh"
I read that silly Robyn Barker womans book today when I got it out for Viv, she says that hunger is not a reason for night waking beyond 6 months......said expletive closed book LOL. (Oh and apparently teething has no effect on anything) I will PM you Viv, promise! When we get back from holidays on Vic I will send it!
Must go to bed,
Night all.

trish - don't worry about it. i'm glad you closed it, i hope you said 'pffft', too.
so the sweet potato was a moderate success compared to the regular potato. he still held it in his mouth, grimaced and performed. this time he didn't cry. i managed to get 1t to go in and he wore 1t. then over the next 24 hours it has slowly been refluxing out. this morning he's down to yellow vom. sigh sigh sigh.
i'm compiling a list for the doc on monday when i go to get the little dude's needles.
last night was the classic 3-hourly feeding night. eyes on stalks. he also woke in between times for a little cry.
will be nice when the teething thing stops.
i'm going to have to ditch the change table now. it's not something that will be fixed by a strap. he rolls with all his strength and twists backwards like a banana. he wants to touch the bucket, the pockets on the change table, empty the cotton buds etc. yesterday he rolled and leaned over so hard he whacked his head on the shower screen wall. next change... same thing. *eyeroll* no tears the second time but still.
so i've taken to changing him on the ground. how do you control a wiggly worm? it's like a competition to get the nappy on straight. at the moment, giving him the bath thermometer (shaped like a submarine) seems to work to keep him distracted but otherwise... sheesh.
he is such an active 'little boy'. he spent 10 minutes yesterday morning trying to pull off the power point covers again. why are power points magnets for the Y chromosome?
my little monkey is so cute though.

viv- sorry you had a crap night, i do find it somewhat comforting to know someone else was up as much as me though. J's reflux is really a PITA huh? can't believe he is still chucking yellow 24hrs later. When is that spinkter supposed to be working properly?
Leah- where you heading on hols? Robin barker is full of BULLCARP, teething effects nothing my butt! She should live here for a week.
Trish- poor little man, hope he is one the mend. Just shows how good your mothers instinct is.
Mo- How's your sister today?
going to have a skinny, decaf, fair trade organic coffee........... now how can that be bad for me?
Registered User
nothing cooler than ordering a decaf, soy mocha - except i had to stop because the soy apparently gives baby boys man boobs and other estrogen problems. lucky i only had 2 or 3 because i actually despise soy with a passion *gag*
mo - is maddie still sleeping through like a champ? it's nice to hear someone is getting sleep
what about the other formula babies? are you all sleeping?

Morning!
Viv - we aren't sleeping through yet here either. 'Tho last night he did 8pm to 3.50am. He hardly slept at all during the day yesterday so really made up for it in a big way. Really hoping that solids will help his sleeping. As I said before DH is adament that L will not have solids any earlier than 6 months, so at least another 2 weeks of interupted sleep for me.
Leah - KWYM about Robin Barker. All I know is that L's pattern for everything changed completely when he was teething and now that it is over for the time being he is back to his old self.
Now that I am on the count down to going back to work, am going to try to get the house in order. Firstly, I'm going to defrost my freezer! Realised that it has been 6 months since I did it last (which was in the time just before L was born). My how time flies. Anyone else would think that I would have had ample time to do it.
Anyway, there are clothes that need hanging out. BBL
