That's great news Ange

Thanks Ange & Viv

M' has finally decided fruit is not that bad, still screws her face up but at least she will take a mouthful without gagging

[~Trish~]

Woohoo Ange! That's great that your mum is going to help you out today, mum's rock! I hope you get better really soon.

Mo - My FIL is in a low care home. Let us know if you have any q's. Yay for Maddi eating fruit!

Saffi - Glad L had a better night, how did he go last night?

K slept through until 5:30am this morning which was great. The problem is that he doesn't really go back to sleep very well afterwards so we end up getting up pretty early. Oh well, you can't have everything!

morning all

one teaspoon of apples seemed to be moderately tolerated this morning. that said, even though i followed it up with a body full of milk, he still managed to single out the apple in his gut and just reflux that. i don't know how he became a regurgitator worthy of a side show but he's good.

he is rejecting solids as hard as he can. dh says it's because he's sending me a message that it's boobie and only boobie in which he has interest.

sigh.

way to K.... yanno trish, i get the early bird without the sleep through. (last night was a little better than other - he still wanted a 1.30 cuddle back to sleep). it's all very odd.

Trish - Thanks for asking. He went down at about 6.45pm, was up at 10.30 (DH fed him as I'd gone to bed), then up at 2.30am (feed), 4.30am (dummy), 5.30am (complete change and dummy) when I took him back to bed with us. I slept until 7am and I guess he did too. When he wakes up at night, in most cases it isn't a full on distressed, hysterical cry. I get to him fairly quickly as I don't want it to escalate into full on hysterics.

Do you think it would be worth leaving him and seeing if he will settle by himself? When I feed him overnight he usually has about 180-200mls so he is hungry and needs a feed. We get up at around 6.30 - 7am. I feed him at 8am and its not like he is screaming with hunger but does manage around 200mls.

Given the above any thoughts on some things that I could try?

Think I might see if I can get some sleep. BBL

Well think I've worked out what's been bothering the little guy the last few days...he's caught his sister's rotten cold

He's not too bad but last night was coughing and kept waking himself up. Tried kicking DH out of bed and putting him in with me but that didn't work either (I seriously don't know how people co sleep every night). He wasn't too bad after a 1am feed so we both got a bit of sleep.

Bit freaked out, never had a sick baby before, DD was well over 12 months before she even got a cold.

Guess panadol and eucybear and just ride it out??

Oh, and I've got it too

Saffi - I know what you mean about bubs playing up when going out! ALmost everytime I decide to go shopping, Tahlia decided to chuck a major wobbly in her pram and it feels like everyone in the whole shopping centre is staring at me! I'll pick her up out of the pram and then she smiles... she hates her pram! I need to make her like it though cause I can't carry her everywhere!

Trish - good luck at the paed tomorrow

Mo - dont have any advice for you, but I'm sure you are doing the right thing... it must be so hard!

Ange - sorry to hear about your shingles.. glad you can still feed Lu though!

Willow -sorry to hear that L has caught a cold. Its so horrible when they are sick! Hope you both feel better soon!

this just in:

i'm giving up on solids until he bugs me for food more frequently than 3 to 4-hourly. no point messing with the status quo

[YoYo]

OMG so much going on! Hugs to all
