Sue why are baby beehinds not great for you guys? I just ordered 6 new magicalls! I hope they are ok for Emily I'm worried now! I'm going to try some bg's too.
Kerry - Lauren gave me heaps of second hand websites i'll send the message through to you on FB.
Captain- I'm not sure about trials for swimming but you can do a 3 week trial with gymbaroo, that's a good idea!
Mel-Yay Ash!
Hi everybody. Sorry for the long absence but with the heatwave last week I took off to my parents house because it is so much cooler than my house. I was more than ready to come home at the end of it though
I don't have time now for personals but I have been reading your updates So much exciting news around.
Well first thing I wanted to let you know that I am not pregnant which is a relief. I didn't want to be pregnant and due around Molly's first birthday.
Molly rolled over the other day from front to back. She did it once screamed like a banshee and hasn't done it since And she is getting closer to rolling over from back to front.
We visited the health nurse yesterday and she weighs 7.4kg and is 65 cm long. While I enjoy finding out her stats I do have to say I find it a waste of time going. My nurse doesn't really tell me much or talk about anything. Feels like a WW weigh in without the meeting. Oh well.
I was wondering if anyone has started solids yet or thinking about it?
we started solids!! Liberty was getting hungry between feeds and I tried feeding her closer together and then she got the explosive poos so it was either give her more formula again or give her solids. So I went the solids. And she loves it! She actually cried when it was all gone this morning, snatching the spoon off me and shoving it in her mouth trying to lick every last bit off it!! I'm only making up 4g of farex atm with about 20-30ml of breastmilk so maybe I need to give her more. I need to get over to the baby led solids forum... but first I need to finish some sewing projects.
Sue - I was holding Liberty across the length of my body and wasn't paying attention and accidently wacked her head on the top of my parents stair case and hit her just above her eye. She SCREAMED for ages. I cried too!! We all make mistakes, don't worry about it!
Mel - someones definently a little addicted!! I was just in a certain forum trading room where someone was talking about having 90 and I was like YIKES that's a lot but 90!?!?!
I have 10 cushie tushie coutures and one cushie tushie basix. They're OSFM and the good thing is they don't fit most babies so I can buy them cheaply second hand, Liberty fits them perfectly too so I only buy this brand. Someone gave me 3 for free the other day yay!! It was beginners luck really that she fitted these. I also make my own using the Wee Waka or however u spell it pocket nappy. I like the cushie tushies as they're all in one. We use flats for home, mcns for going out and the pockets for home or night.
I don't like velcro nappies because I can make them myself. I only like snaps. and i like the one size to save money.
kerry - the washing is EASY. (well i do have a chucky baby so in comparison to the clothes i wash for reflux its definently easy). i actually take quite pride in pegging out all the nappies! And folding flats takes seconds.
yay for ashlyn and ashton!!
erin - u can always sell ur BGs if they don't work out for you. Aren't u glad u only bought 6 just in case?? I guess the only way to find out is to try them.
Hello to everyone else too who is thread stalking like I ususally do!!
Hiya all. I had a bit of a me day today. Mum shopped with Arabella so I could get my hair washed, cut and ironed - soooo nice. I am going back for the colour to be done next week, didn't want to push my luck all in one day.
Oh yay, I get my new aircon installed on saturday, now maybe I will stay away from the shops and save a bit of cash PML.
we have a booking next week to have some photos done and I have bought a cute little dress for Arabella to wear, now I just have to hope that she doesn't spew on herself or crack a darky cause she is tired or teething the grandparents have been riding me for some pics for ages so I thought I'd better get it done.
MM - holy moley, 148 nappies, you are a bit of a nappy addict hey. My df saw the price of the nappies the other day and just freaked out.
captain - oooh clever Ashlyn, Bella gets the shiats just trying to keep things in her hands. U will lurve the wii fit, it's so addictive, my kids hog it from me all the time though. Just another thing they take from me, first it was the puter so I bought a laptop and now they take MY wii fit, how rude.
eej - I just found that Bella piddled straight out the side of the BBH's for some reason, no matter what I did. also, they dont have the keep dry lining thing that the BG's have. they take aaaaaages to dry cause they are the hemp stuff (i think that's what it's called, I'm not a pro mcn?r LOL). Bella just didn't like sitting in a puddle of wet. aahhh, sorry for getting u too worried, u probably end up really liking them. *crawls back into the corner*
donna - whoa, u would have had yr hands full with another bubs due. Yay for Molly's little stunt. for all I know my little poop probably rolls back and forth when I dont see. We started solids a few weeks back and it's going really well, a little too well, someone is looking like a sumo wrestler
Lauren - Yay, another mum who knows just how I feel with a reflux baby and the amount of washing. Bella hasn't even let up one bit on the spewing, but she is a happy chucker. I have towels placed around the house on the floor and when I sense she is going to let it fly I run and lean over the towels and just pick em up at the end of each day LOL. saves trying to catch the spew with the piddly bibs. '
eej the new minky magicalls are the best! I have even used them at night I love BBB too, they are one of our 'night nappies' that we use all the time!
Nicambhar I think if you compare the prices of the nappies, which have a good resale value, compared to the amount one spends on disposables, he might be a little more open to the idea
Today I gave Ash some grapes in his Tomee Tipee food feeder. I just cut them in half and popped them in and he sucked and bit away at it for ages. Tried peach and that was a no go lol he loves ice in it the most I think
He has a sore toe my poor bub. On one of his moving around the room missions he broke his toe nail off a little too far down and it got very red and I have been putting savlon on it heaps and its just gotten worse. Today I went to the chemist and they suggested betadine and keeping it wrapped in this tape stuff so he is out of action at the moment.
He had his needles this morning, just cried for 30 seconds then he was fine
We spent all this arvo at the pool It was so nice. He really loves the water! Does anyones bubs do swimming lessons? i have the boys booked in but not Ashton because I wasn't sure if it was worth it at $12 a lesson.
Thanks for all the info (and encouragement) on the cloth nappies. OMG, Mel at the number of nappies you have! That's quite an investment! And such a huge range! I've started looking at Wild Child and Itti's. Suzie, which BG do you use for Arabella? The all in ones? How's Bella's tummy now? I hate it when I accidentally bump Matthew or turn him over the wrong way and his arm catches. Erin, thanks for the email on Facebook. And the offer of a cool place to visit! We had a 43.5 degree day yesterday and today feels the same.
Donna, I've been thinking about starting Matthew on solids or at the least giving him some water on these hot days but the early childhood nurse keeps telling me, no, and to wait until he's six months before starting. She also showed me the type of cup to use, just a cheapy thing that's light and simple, and to not to get one with a teat. I haven't got one yet but will look for one when I next get to a supermarket or Big W.
Lauren, your Liberty sounds like a good eater! I wonder how Matthew will take to starting on Farex. Hopefully as good as Liberty!
Captain, sounds like Ashlyn will be off and crawling very, very soon. Matthew's not at that stage yet. He still really doesn't very much like being on his tummy for any length of time although he's rolling on to his stomach often and then gets stuck. And then cries. Hoping he'll get stronger soon and work out how to roll back over.
Better check on him, he's sleeping but I'm so paranoid about him rolling.
