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.
Just back from WW 1.3 kgs lighter yay!!!! Super happy with that!
Oh My Goodness, we had a rough night last night. Emily didn't sleep from 10-1am! She hasn't been like that since she was a newborn. She wasn't crying just talking and playing but enough to keep us awake! I'm so tired. I think she has a blocked nose and couldn't suck her dummy very well which normally settles her. I'm hoping she is ok tonight
Kerry-No probs. I'm sorry you guys are so hot! I wish you were closer I'd love to help you out.
Sue- Don't feel bad I was worrying anyway thinking i should have bought less first off! Its good to hear others experiences. Were you using their OSFM or the sized AIO? I've ordered the sized ones. How nice to get your hair done! Can't wait to see the pics!
Mel- Cool good to know they can even be a night nappy! I'm happy to try them. I do want to try some others too.
I've been trying to get on here but still finding it so chaotic.
Eej, congrats on the weight loss, & hope you get some sleep tonight.
Nicambar, yay for air con. I know what you mean about feeling so guilty for hurting our little ones, twice now when I cut Madeleines nails I've sliced skin off her thumb (same one) and made it bleed, terrible
I've read all your posts about your babies sitting and starting to crawl, isn't it amazing how quick they grow up, we know our little ones not far off but I love her being so reliant on me
Re nappies: I have some liners that go inside the real nappies, a family member gave them to me but I'm not good enough to do real ones... would anybody like them? I'm happy to post them anywhere I just really don't want them to go to waste: Natures Child Bio Liners pk 200
Madeleine did have an eye infection, so we have some drops & it's working a treat. She's also eating like a trooper, she just in love with only organic apple custard & Farex.
Well we are in for the worst weather tomorrow, we've already had a serious scare today with a grass fire a few streets away threatening homes... you can say we are a little paranoid, so i'm packing the car with some baby essentials just in case we get told to move out as if the reserve with live across from goes up there wont be much hope for our house.
Scary about the grass fire, CJ! Very hot here too, it was 44.4 at 3pm and tomorrow's forecast is for 45. Matthew is sleeping a lot today. How's Madeleine coping?
Woohoo, Erin! You're going really well with the WW thing! My diet's pretty terrible and I really have to push myself to eat properly, especially in this heat. All I want to eat is ice-cream! At least I'm still taking Elevit multi-vitamins and hopefully they help keep me healthy. Hope Emily sleeps better for you tonight!
I've booked a room for Matthew and me at a 4 star motel in Griffith tomorrow. I'm just so worried about keeping Matthew from overheating. Worried also about my old dog and wish I could sneak her in with us! I just have to hope she'll cope with plenty of water and her favourite spot on the porch which remains in the shade of the house all day. So far she has.
kerry - good on your for booking a room, I saw the forecast for tommorrow down your way and just couldnt believe it. surely the heat has to give up soon. with the bg's, I got the one size one's and they have been really good. I was a bit skeptical thinking that they would be bulky but they're not. take care in the awful weather and I hope yr doggy stays cool too - if it were me, I;d be sneaking her in LOL.
eej - for the weight loss. i'm nearly up to a 4kg loss and can really feel it in my pants, they are getting loose. we have the osfm bbh and theyre not bulky at all, I must be doing something wrong cause most people luv em.
cj - oooh, I've clipped the nails too far before as well. Bella is such a damned worm.
ok, gotta run, little poo is awake - AGAIN... she does this every night. as soon as I pick her up for a cuddle her little eyes roll back into her head and shes asleep, hhmmm, she's got me wrapped around her finger..
Ashlyn had her first swimming lesson today and loved it. But she has been so tired ever since, I think she's having a growth spurt though because she is eating so much and making me sooo hungry. I given up the diet for today because if I don't eat something high calorie I think I will pass out!
As far as the cloth nappies goes, my fav at the moment are my minky magicalls. They fit Ashlyn's chubby thighs really well. I used to love my Wild childs for Danielle, but they just don't fit Ashlyn well. Except for the WC night nappies which are fantastic. I also love the BG's.
Oh, I will have to be back later for personal because sounds like Ashlyn is awake again.
I love BBB too, they are one of our 'night nappies' that we use all the time!
