Alz - Tahlia also has cows milk on her weetbix in the morning
Dianne - hope Bella is better soon, it is so horrible when they are sick
Mo - Woo Hoo to Maddi on the walking!!!!
Trish - Woo Hoo to Kieran!
Julia - Woo Hoo to Max!
Saffi - can you melt cheese into some of L's food to give him some extra dairy? I sometimes cook up some spiral pasta and then melt some cream cheese into them and Tahlia loves it! Its the only thing that she feeds herself really well (ie half of it doesnt end up on the floor!)
Hope everyone has a good day!
Wow! Lots of bubbas doing very clever things! Yay for Maddi walking and Maxi crawling and all the little chatterboxes!
Mateo was just fine at daycare! He slept for 3 hours, ate heaps and was all smiles playing with the big kids when I arrived. Me on the other hand, well, a little cry in the car on the way to work! ;) Was one of the most difficult things I've done - goes against every mother instinct in my body but once I saw how happy he was I felt better.
Saffi - LOL at L sounding like a cat!
Ange - was so great to meet you and hope you had a wonderful time in QLD. Luella is so cute! I love her curls!
Viv - when I stopped night feeds I got Domenic to get up to Mateo for a week and then he just stopped expecting feeds.
Well biggest news here is that Mateo has weaned himself. Two Sundays ago he just rejected me! Had been losing interest for a while before though. I still mostly do a morning feed if boobs are full but all the rest are bottles of goats milk which he seems to love! Was a little sad but am so glad it was something he chose to do rather than me making him do. The novelty of expressing at work was definitely wearing thin so that's easier at least!
Well off to baby music with little Myles now! They are so funny there - just eat all the instruments and Amber and I end up singing and dancing around like lunatics!
Better go wake the boy.
xo
baby music sounds hilarious!! a drool-filled trumpet ... hehe.
hey i have a new record round here today...5 POOS BEFORE MIDDAY!!! wtf?
this is crazy. every time he goes by me i smell the delicate waft. there isn't even a performance getting them out - they're just there.... like little gifts... bleh. heh.
Star- it was so nice to meet you and your DH too. (Even if he does barrack for Collingwood!) Must be a bit of a relief for the little man to wean himself. Well sad, but a relief that it was his choice as you say. I wouldn't mind too much if the guni weaned.
Viv- 3 nights of hour long crying with me cuddling and pacing the halls. Sometimes if it got too much i'd just feed her, and try again next time. When she stirred i would pat first, if no good, then i'd pick her up. After 3 nights, she started settling with the patting. Took a good week all up though. Now if she wakes, a pat might be needed, but i send DH with the guise that she'll smell my milk if i go. sucker! Actually in all hoesty she settled quicker for him b/c she knows she aint going to get any milk out of those pecs! Now she has 4 feeds, morning, lunch, before diner and before bed. Sometimes she doesn't have the before dinner one. Also worth mentioning when her top teeth were coming through i fed her almost every time she woke, and only cut the night feeds when she was 100%.
ETA- Last feed of night was 9.30-10.30 ish.
Wedding was good Saffi- Lu was pretty well behaved. I only let her have one champagne, didn't want her getting out of control. :P
Julia- Go Max! All in his own good time.
Hope the sick babies are feeling better today ALZ and DS.
Hi all,
Falguni - Welcome back, hope you had a lovely holiday.
Alz - the top teeth are terrible, hope they come through soon.
Minimax - congratulations on the crawling, way to go, hope Bella starts soon. Hope your computer gets going soon.
Bella was coughing all night. Her chest just sounds so rattly when she breathes. I went and bought a vapouriser this morning, so hopefully that will help a bit.
Hope everyone has a lovely day.
Regards,
Dianne
Goodness me - lookat all these bubbas all of a sudden doing stuff!! congrats to all the movers and groovers!!
my little bundle of joy is sooooooooo close to going from sitting to onto her hands and knees. She gets so far but her little leg just wont move to the back....but when it does she falls flat on her face!! But she soooooo wants to get moving you cansee the frustration in her little eyes.
DS-You have probably already heard this but have you elevated the head of the cot a ltittle?? I found this helped C when she had her cough. the vaporiser thing helped too. The other thing that helped, but i dont know if it helped her cough or her entire cold and made thecough go away, but i put baby vicks or eukybear on her feet at night and put them in a pair of socks.
Anyway - thought i would be able to pop in and out a bit more now that I am working at home but it just hasnt been the case!
Hope you lovely ladies and your little bubs are having a fantastic day
MWAH
Hi all!
Just a flying visit to suggest to Dianne the same as what Rebecca said, try some Baby Vicks on Bella's feet at night with a pair of socks over the top. I tried this recently with K, Joel and I and it works! I was coughing two nights ago, I finally got out of bed and put some Vicks on my feet and I stopped coughing instantly. Not sure if it's coincidence or not, but it's worth a try! I hope poor Bella gets better soon.
Oh and a big congrats to Max for crawling!!!!
Sorry for no more personals, I am swamped with the biz ATM. I don't know if I can keep this up! Lots of sales and I just had a lady sell me so much stuff it has more than filled my shop :o. Lots of photos and ads to put togther for me...Just as well it's fun!
Have a great day all!
Trish that's great your store is doing so well!
DS-Hope Bella is a little better this morning.
Nothing new here, still seems so odd seeing M walk around!
Hope everyone is well & Ethan & Bella are getting better.
Morning all,
Thanks to everyone for your well wishes and advice for Bella. We raised her matress last night and I rubbed vicks on her feet and had the vapouriser going and guess what? she didn't cough once during the night. She still sounds quite chesty but at least she had a good night sleep, thanks again.
We received some bad news early this morning, at 4.00a.m the phone rang, it was DH's brother from overseas, his dad passed away. Poor DH hasn't seen his dad in 15 years, he really wanted to see him one more time. So our house is a bit sad today, going to give lots of cuddles to DH.
Hope everyone has a nice day.
Regards,
Dianne
Oh Dianne - that's terrible, terrible news. I am so sorry to hear that! It makes it especially sad that your DH didn't get to say godbye. I hope you are all OK.
Actually jumped on to apologise for boring you all with my weaning story twice - forgot I had already said that but that just seems insignificant now anyway.
Glad to hear Bella is better and at least at horrible times like this you have a gorgeous daughter to brighten your days.
:hug:
Hi everyone!
It's such a beautiful sunny day in Melbourne today! I just took the boys on a long walk and we went to a couple of parks. It's so nice to get out and about again! I should be doing housework ATM to make up for my busy day yesterday, but I'm having a rest after our walk instead, housework will always be there!
K woke a few times last night, he is coming down with another cold and feels quite warm to touch. As soon as I gave him Panadol he slept soundly which was good.
Dianne - I'm so glad Bella (and you!) got a better night's sleep last night. I'm so sorry to hear about your FIL, what a sad time for you all :hug:.
Star - Don't apologise for sharing your weaning story again! I forgot that you already did!! I'm glad Mateo went well at DC. How is it being back at work?
Mo - It must seem so weird having a little walker! It only seems like yesterday that they were all tiny babies. How many weeks are you now? How have you been feeling?
Rebecca - It sounds like Caitlyn isn't far off moving!
Ange - Welcome back! We've missed you! How's your pregnancy going? Hope you've been feeling well.
Better go, got to start organising lunch for the boys. Have a great day!
Dianne - I'm very sorry to hear about the loss of you FIL
Trish - the weather sure was beautiful in Melbourne today. Think its going to be the same tomorrow too
Does anyone know if we can give bubs the long life milk? or should we stick with the fresh stuff?
Hi all
Dianne - sorry to hear about your FIL. Glad that Bella is doing better. Don't understand why Vicks on the feet seems to help with coughs? You couldn't get any further away from the chest, but if it works.....
Terri - I cried all day my first day back at work (and L wasn't even in daycare at that stage). I honestly think L has developed so much more at daycare than he would at home with me. They have been doing heaps of craft with him lately and they even helped him make a Father's Day present for DH. I'm just not very imaginative when it comes to entertaining babies.
Ange - I knew Lu was a classy sort of bub.
Kellie - put some grated cheese in L's dinner tonight but he wasn't interested in it. The cream cheese and pasta sounds yum. Long life milk is fine. It is the same as fresh milk, just heat treated.
Trish - not another cold. You've all had such a bad run lately.
Good news - L slept thru last night. Put him down at 7pm, checked on him at 10.30 and put him back under the covers and didn't hear anything from him until 6am. Felt like carp today tho I was so tired. Don't understand how more sleep makes you more tired. :crossfingers: that L sleeps thru tonight.
Bad news - L has pretty nasty looking nappy rash atm. Don't know what has caused it. They change his nappy every hour at daycare and he has been in Aldi nappies for almost 2 weeks so don't think it is a reaction.
Any minute now my friend will be having her bub. Her waters broke this afternoon, but as the bub is in breech she is having a c-section tonight. He is about 3 or so weeks early. Can't wait to meet little William.
My day off tomorrow and L and I are off to the State Library for their story time. Never been before so hopefully it will be fun.
Have a good evening all.
*crawls out form my lurking rock*
Hi girls! Have lurking but just so unmotivated to do a big post sorry!
So much happening with everyone! I promise i will be back soon to say hi properly!

Dianne - sorry to hear about your FIL.
Trish - I'm 11 weeks now, doing ok m/s is so bad some days.
Hope K isn't coming down with anything.
Saffi - Yay for L sleeping through, hope it continues.
Kellie - Sorry can't help you. It nice to have some nice weather finally.
Dianne- very sorry to hear of your FIL passing it must be hard for your dh atm.
viv- hows the pooathon going? feels a lot like that around here lately, yesterday i changed 6 poo bums by 1pm (3 a peice they were keeping score) Ty end up winning with a late afternoon splurge....
one or both boys have been waking o/n, its echausting me to no end. Ty seems to wake about 45min after going down and needs to be cuddled back to sleep. then wakes between 4 and 6 and goes back to sleep in our bed.
Nixon either carrys on at bed time or then brings himself into our bed again anytime between 4 and 6. he was put to bed at 8.30om tonight and at 10pm is still up. he is laying in dh arms but wont goto sleep and just screams when u put him to bed.............
i think the parenting has got harder recently it definatley goes through stages
Hello all,
I haven't been in for a while cos I was due in November but had bub 17th October, but it is quiet in the October thread so thought I would pop in! It is hard to keep up because I only get on every couple of days, but hopefully I can try :doh:
My lil fella started walking two weeks ago and now climbs our stairs (2 flights). He is so happy and proud of himself, but can't actually stand up off the floor yet, he crawls to something that he can pull himself up on and then walks away :wall:
Lots of mums and dads and nans, but not much else other than babble!
Hopefully I will keep up, I promise to try :pray:
