Hehe yep he's definately a boofy boy he's never been mistaken for a girl since the day he was born :P

Amber- Hope you both feel better soon they linger for so long seems like you just get over one when another hits! Very cute picture of Myles Almost 7 months!

Mo-Love her hat that's so adorable!

Saffi-Let us know how the photos go you'll have to put some up for us to see Happy 6 months to the little man!

Trish- thank you your pictures of K are always gorgeous he's such a smiley man! Yes is a bummer about the gallbladder but if it needs to come out then may as well get it done I had two months of hell it was hurting day and night but now it's settled so fingers crossed it stays settled till it comes out. Coffs is lovely we are staying at a place in Palm Beach I think it's called, it's a 2minute walk to the RSL, 5 minute walk to the beach and a 15minute walk to the shops. My Poppy worked for a company his entire life so he is entitled to get the units really cheap he, my nan and my mum are coming. DP's boss won't give him the time off because two ppl have just taken time off for wives that are about to pop, congrats to them but grrr missing Rys first family holiday, popping is more important but I was looking forward to a week with NO COMPUTERS & my DP back!

Trish- i give Lu two fork mashed prunes with some natural yoghurt every day or so, keeps things moving IYKWIM!

[~Trish~]

Great idea Ange! Where do you get your prunes from? I assume they're not dried ones because you can mash them. How is your eye going now? Hopefully it is almost back to normal

[Junglemum]

They are in the dried fruit section, there is an Aussie brand with no addatives, just prunes. They are soft enough to mash with a fork. Eye getting better, just a bit scabby! noice.
Will check out the brand i get and let you know.......

Ok, so despite me wanting to wait till after everyone left (got family and friends coming this week for L's christening and my 30th) I am going to give this boy some food tonight. The night feeds are starting to kill me! I know it's not going to make an instant difference (although one can hope) but I think the sooner I get some food into this boy, the sooner we might actually get some decent sleep at night. He just WILL NOT sleep through a feed. He's fed at 10pm and 1.30am every night since birth pretty much. If I'm lucky he'll go to 2am some nights. I am sooooo tired!! We've tried resettling but it just doesn't work. He won't sleep until he's fed. I don't even mind doing the 1.30am feed if we can drop the 10pm because at least I can go to bed earlier and get some sleep before he wakes, which I can't do at the moment.

So...on the menu tonight - mashed potato with some EBM mixed in...yummmmm!!

Saffi - how did you guys go with solids today?

**ETA: How rude!! Forgot to say...

Happy 7 months Maddi

Happy 6 months Lachlan

hey all

my sister warned me off banana because it made her babies' poos impacted. she said you work out pretty quickly which foods are blocking up the place.

trish - maybe one of k's foods is to blame?

jj is still not all that inerested in solids. he gave a cursory gumming to my toast out at breakfast yesterday (and had poo issues today as a result). otherwise he's managing through most of the night with a resettle.

willow - james wouldn't have being resettled without boob for a while, until he started waking more often than 3-hourly with the teeth business. he learnt that he could go back to sleep without it so i've taken out any overnight feed and replaced with dummy. there's a short burst of waaah but he's fine pretty quickly because he's not really very awake. good luck! i know how you feel when they just want it. think of it as a 'need' and you may be able to cope a bit better.

i know the books say they don't 'need' it at 6 months - but the books can't make one rule for every baby. it will change. i promise. (i never thought boof round here would release his claw grip on night feeds).
