Kerry, i am ashamed to tell you how many times nathan has fell out of bed. I have now pushed his (unused) cot up against the side of the bed to act as a barrier lol. Poor kid. Thank god we have super soft carpet.
Captain, its always concerning when they dont put much weight on, and i feel your anguish, nathan is a slow gainer. He is sitting on 7.8 (at his 6 mnth check up) and he was 3.745 born. So yeah he has doubled his body weight - just!
Have you tried to increase your protein? I drink a couple of glasses of sustagen each day and take Alfalfa tablets, they are FULL of vits and minerals and trace elements my herbalist put me onto them. Alot better then your general multi vits. Chin up and dont stress too much - becdause that will hinder your milky milk too!!
Well i finally took the plunge and gave in and gave nath his first solids today... sad day tbh.
I LOVED that he was fully 100% breastfed. Now I am not the only one nourishing him - the earth is too... oh well i suppose he has to grow up sometime.
Ash has fell outta my bed 3 times. Since then I have invested in one of those bed rails that sits on top of the mattress. He hasn't fallen out again. I did have piles of pillows on the floor when he fell so he didn't hurt himself at all luckily.
He is soooo clingy today. If i put him down he is ok for a minute then cries. If I leave the room he screams and crawles after me! Cutie just wants to be cuddled all day.
Mel, what brand is the bed rail and where did you get it from? I must have one! How did the visit go? Did his dad bring him back on time? Must be hard. PS love your avatar!
Jen, Matthew had a rusk first (those pesky teeth) and then rice cereal and now I'm trying him with toast and avocado, steamed carrot, potato and broccoli. Messy but fun. He's on my lap at the moment smacking his lips.
Jen- with BLS they can pretty much have anything! Em first had english muffin with melted cheese. She loves all sorts of foods now. SHe made a huge mess with her yogurt this evening. Don't worry he still gets all his nutrtion from you...food is for fun until they are one.
Captain- I was worried about emily's weigh gain a few months ago but she's picked up again now.
Kerry we went to turn our car seat around today and Heath actually did and then I was reading about how rear facing car seats prevent fatal crahses by 71%! !!! That confirmed it for me so we put it back! Our car seat can be rear facing to 12 kgs, I don't think we will wait that long but a bit longer yet.
hi everyone! love reading what you're all up to but no time to reply, need to catch up on sleep!! with regards to the car seat, when she's heavy enough even though its safer the other way (i used to want to keep her rearward facing as long as possible and if she hates forward facing too i will put her back into rearward) - but if she loves it i still think it'd be safer if she's happier forward facing so we're not pulling on and off the highway/main roads, not getting distracted trying to scramble for dummies/toys whilst driving, etc!! And also if she's calm and content we'll be able to concentrate better then if she's screaming her lungs out. I went and visited a forum member the other day and she couldn't believe how hysterical Liberty gets as soon as i put her in her car seat. fun times... ok off to sleepy bys for me
its a safety first secure lock bed rail. Google that It isn't the price they have there though! Most say $129 but I only paid $50 from Kmart. It's wonderful!! I am going to get one for the other side too.
Ashton was ok at his visit but... well lets just say he wont be going back for a while. Don't want to post it all on here He brought him back soaked through though... HOW hard is it to change a nappy in 2 hours??
