LOL Viv, sounds like #2 isn't that far away for you...How gorgeous bopping along to In the Night Garden! K loves to clap along, he still can't stand yet!
Kazaraz - Yay, your ticker works! Taygan is soooo cute
Oh, I forgot to mention earlier - K is BITING me now when I B'feed him, OUCH! I can't help but yell out "ouch" because he draws blood. K then screams his head off and our feeding session comes to an abrupt end. He knows he shouldn't do it, but he does. What do I do? I am thinking it might be time to wean? It makes me want to cry, we have nearly made it to 12 months, I would be so sad if I have to wean him before then
Afternoon all!
Hope everyone enjoyed their weekends.
I had a great time down at the baby shower. I also got a little shopping done which was handy. Its always good going to see mum n my brothers too and this w/e I got to see my 8.5 y/o nephew too which was fantastic! Went down Fri and came back last night. I usually stay longer cuz I think its a little unfair to have Tiera in the car for 4hrs each way, but I think I have been away from home enough lately.
Celtic - That sounds terrible that the daycare centre left him in such warm clothes in the heat of the day! You poor thing that must have ben scarey. Hope Ryan is feeling much better now Nickers - Middle ear infections are terrible! Have you noticed it effecting his balance at all??? I hope he's on the mend. Alz - I too will be starting to give Tiera brekky when she wakes up n milk for morning tea soon. The only thing is when she has her milk bottle of a morning she drifts back off to slep and if I get her up she gets quite cranky, but I igure like any routine change, it'll take a little work, but we'll get there! Becky - I think it'd get all upset if that was my little one crying out for me when I left him. Great to hear he enjoyed Kindy! It doesn't take them long to work out how much fun it is. MissKate - That motel sounds discusting!! Its terrible to think that things were so durty ur lil man couldn't even crawl around! I once went to someone's house like that... I was going to an ABA (Breastfeeding asso) meeting and the lady's floor was covered in dog hair, she knew she had gess and never even bothered to vacuum! Kaz - I love your ticker pic! It is just gorgeous Trish - Thats terrible what your FIL did to you poor MIL. It must be hard for them being seperated like that, but things would be even worse when he does things like that! NT - Thats so cute he dances! Tiera has just started to boogie a lttle when music comes on the TV.... I play music all day every day, but she only does it when its on the TV!!! lol
I hope I haven't missed anyone.
Take care all. Hope everyone has enjoyed their day
Trish- big hugs, can you use those nipple protector things? Sorry I don't know much about breast feeding but I hope it works out *hugs*
I see some people are starting on moo milk, just thought I'd ask if there was a special kind you were giving them or just normal milk? I was under the impression moo-milk before 2 yrs old was bad for them but can't for the life of me remember why or how I came to that conclusion lol.
How much do your babies eat? I ask the dr how much Ryan should have and they all say it varies from baby to baby. Ryan eats approx:
1 x 120g tin baby fruit
2-3 small pieces steamed brocolli/small cup of steamed mixed veggies
1 small slice cheese
1 100g tub baby yogurt
3 chicken nuggets/2 fish sticks
3 arrowroot biscuits
Few mouthfuls of mum & dad dinner if able
Some days he will eat all that and drop a bottle, other days he only wants some yogurt, some nuggets and has his usual bottle. Is that too much? Too little? Ryan's lost a bit of weight on the last visit. He still has 4 full bottles and does one big poop every morning but sleeping less than he used to.
trish - that is so sad about the biting. i'm scared of that too, especially now that top #1 has come through.
the babylove woman says they are just testing them out - which i imagine is fairly irresistible really. she says end the feed right away and don't put them back on for a few hours.
tracey hogg says: "say, ouch, don't bite mummy, that hurts"
GP says, "it often only takes one bite and breastfeeding is over"
my sis says... try as hard as you can not to scream because you can trigger a feeding strike. she says it's part of it (4 babies and multiple years later). she persisted through spaghetti nipples (ouch).
can't say i would be game to venture back into the jaws of death - and i would totally understand if you did wean now. sad but sometimes necessary.
Trish Ouch on the boobie biting, hope you can both hang in there till 12 months.
I wanted o find out the gender at 12wks, so i can imagine i'll crack at the 20wk u/s lol
AFM- It was Mum's birthday yesterday, The nursing home was nice enough to lets us have lunch with her, they even set up a table in the foyer so Maddi could run around & not get cranky.
So that was nice.
Hard to believe the Monkey will be 1 in 3 days.
Not really anything else interesting happening at the moment.
