Oooh, Mo - which one was she wearing?? Sounds cute!! Going to take L to get some done next week.
Trish - K is fast becoming a sleeping star!! No way would L be happy about me dropping his 10pm feed!
We had a better night last night, still fed frequently but much more settled with no waking between feeds. Day sleeps have been better too today so hoping he's on the mend and things will settle back into our normal pattern.

Hi everyone
We just gave Tahlia some rice cereal, and I think she really liked it. None of it got spat back at us, although she wasn't really opening her mouth that much, she was more licking it off the spoon. Think I might have made it too runny so we'll try again tomorrow with it a bit thicker
I am sorry to hear about all the bubs giving you grief at night-time. It must be the age huh? Im sure its likely to hit me when I least expect it. LOL
I am thinking abut starting MCN's but have NO idea where to start! Is it very expensive to get started too? Things are a bit tight here or the next couple of months so maybe I'll wait a little bit. Dunno! How many of you have bubs in MCN's ( I have always been to lazy til now - LOL)

Ryan was in cloth nappies they are the made up ones so they look like a nappy a pack of 10 cost $140, I got given them though. He was on them but they make his poo smell so bad I can't handle it and I can handle most stenches life throws at me. I went back to disposable while he had antibiotics because he was pooing all day every day and I've been too lazy to swap back but I'll have to soon hehe. Pilchers are pretty cheap, liners are cheap and useless, I washed them daily after soaking so found washing powder disappeared 10 times quicker.
Was up and down all night last night, I probably didn't need to be but he's been coughing so badly and his nose is blocked I went in and attacked him with some nose drops (which he HATED) about 4 times (they are just the saline drops) and picked him up when he had coughing fits to try and help him breath. Luckily he goes back to sleep straight away but unbroken sleep = vombie grr arg mummy. We've decided to wait till Monday (drs aren't open till then anyway) and if he still has his cough I'm video taping his attacks and taking them to the dr and saying "now you tell me this is just from a bit of reflux!!!". I'm so sick of taking him to doctors 4 times before they admit somethings wrong!!!

night coughing is also one of the signs of childhood asthma. you can tell your doctor that if he's run out of ideas.

I got told they won't diagnose asthma in kids until they are over the age of 1 so he has to cough his guts up 24/7 for the next 6 months before they'll do anything about it...
Going to see if I can get him into his paediatrician, probably be a while before I can get an appointment though..
ETA: Today he's started having lots and lots of snot though, maybe it's just another bug he's picked up from daycare? His nose was constantly blocked up last night nad today it's pouring, going to give him a warm bath in a minute in the big bath tub seeing DP is here to help and to steam him up a bit. Going to the chemist Monday to see how much humidifiers cost

Celtic - I believe there are two different types of humidifiers. I cant remember what they are all I know is that one of them harbours more bacteria than the other and can cause more harm than good in littlies. Sorry I cant be any more help but I am sure I read the info on this site. I got one for C when she was all blocked up and it works great - water in it lasts 10 hours so that does her all night. Mine only cost $80 so I was happy about that. I dont use it now cause her nose/chest is really good.
Good luck!

Willow she was wearing her purple GAD pocket with black baby legs, The photographer thought she looked adorable in it. She'd never seen a baby wearing a MCN to a photo session before.
Becky-There is a cloth forum on here that has a lot of great info on how to start
I've spent a bit of $$$'s on mine, but i think it's worth it.
Kellie yay for Tahlia liking rice cereal M still wont have a bar of it
