thought i'd say something - i've been fairly lurktastic for a while..
so - on the bumps front, yeah, james will do a facey or other tumble every day or two. he's improving but will often hurt himself on things he's already mastered (like crawling too fast down the hall chasing dad). he is standing unaided more and more, and can only usually do it while he's holding something (like a cup or remote)
he jammed his fingers in the dresser drawer yesterday. i was sitting right there helping him open and close them and he seemed to be getting it, then he just pushed with one hand to close it, with his other hand in the gap, and kept pushing it until he made himself cry. i iced it for him and the line mark went away pretty quickly.
he's 10 months old today.
what else...
he is in the grips of the tooth monster. we had FIVE poos yesterday, red bot, drool, and lots of whimpery cries and sheet rubbing over night. i can see the gum is swirly on the bottom #4 but no hard bit yet.
he has 1 or 2 doses of panadol overnight practically every night. do you think that's bad? he always cries out around 6 hours after his first dose, so i'm almost certain it's pain.
our sleep is dodged. he was awake for 40 minutes between 11.40 and 12.20 last night. sigh. almost caved and took him to my bed because i was so tired but managed to settle him. he would just lie in the cot and look at me.... and rub the sheet... and roll and grunt... sigh.
we're just happy he's not waking every 90 minutes at the moment.
he hasn't slept through since... something like january. at best he would wake at 2am, at worst... well... every 90 minutes.
enough whinging from me. he's still very beautiful, eating lots and having a good time in the day, so i no complain.
he has been drinking from his tommee tippee nuby. he manages to drink some by himself but also wears a lot because he can dislodge the silicone thingy from the top to make it leak.
i bought the stage 2 easiflow, which doesn't leak, but he finds it practically impossible to squeeze the little sucker (which is much harder than the nuby). all in good time i suppose.
breastfeeders: how many a day now?
aside from K and i think caitlyn, is anyone sleeping right through?
question for all:
how do you feel about the decision you made (or was made for you) as regards breastfeeding or formula feeding? if (when) you have another baby, will you do the same or different, and why?
has anyone tried egg yolk on the bub yet? james seems ok after 4 days but has a little patch of what looks like hives on his outer thigh... odd... doesn't seem to bother him but i can only put it down to egg yolk.
