woot 1st reply!!!!

Meg- poor thing, nothing worse then feeling so so tired.

Shell- was great to meet you too.



I have no idea what the deal with Annika is atm, she eats fine but always wants a bottle and man can she scream and work herself into such a fit over it. Specially in the middle of the night.

I have now changed her onto some sippy cups and have decided yes i will give her the confort she wants when she scream but have decided to water down the milk alot, 50/50.

Maybe she will not want it so much if it is watered down. ( I am also using lite milk with her too, as full cream turned her pooh umm very pale)

[caddie]

Bea this is what i have been told to do. Water the bottles down slowly and then offer at the same time a sippy cup with full cream milk. They will realise in the end all they want is full cream milk and not the watery stuff. Has worked for this person and many others. I will be doing it myself in the next few days.

Yep, I got that advice too. Although it is not an issue here.
J and I went to a play centre today. Hoepefully he will go straight to bed tonight.

I turn 32 tomorrow! Gee I feel old.

[**Helen**]

Hope you have a great day tomorrow Meg.

Beatrix-As far as I know, it is not good for young children to have lite milk. As far as the excess bottles go. I would try to water down full-cream milk, bit by bit. However only for the middle of the night extra bottle. As appossed to doing it heaps straight away as she will probably just chuck an extra big wobbly about it. Then eventually hopefully she will only want it when she wants a drink, not for comfort. With everything that is going on, she may be having trouble dealing with it all. I hope that things settle down soon, and sometimes even though it sucks, no matter what we do as parents they will still yell and scream and carry on. Goodluck.

Have my big scan tomorrow morning. Will update you all tomorrow night.

[Nelle]

I'm on my way to bed, but Helen! I can't believe you're almost 19 weeks!

Everyone's pregnancies have just flown...

[mum3girls]

Happy birthday Meg!!!! Hope you have a great day hun

Helen - Good luck for your scan

Re: use of lite milk - traditionally a no-no until 2 years old, but there are some suggestions now of using 2% milk for toddlers who have a family history of obesity/cholesterol problems, etc. Ness - Have you asked the dr why full cream milk would turn her poo pale? I've never heard of that before, could it be an intolerance of the fat in the full cream milk?

to the rest of my gorgeous Sept mummies and nearly 2 year olds!! (OMG where has the time gone ) And all of the lovely older siblings and new bubbies as well, and those gorgeous preggy bellies

[Visitor7]

Good luck with your scan today Helen. Can't wait to hear all the details.

Meg!!

ETA: If Nina has had a fair bit of milk that day, then that turns her poo pale as well. My dr said it was not uncommon, just from the milk.

Everything is perfect. The got it WRONG! The boy is a a beautiful girl and the other one is a little boy.

They both lay with their hand on their heads. Which looks quite cute, but they are laying across my tummy, top and tail and kicking each other in the head.LOL

Gotta go.

[Nelle]

Wheeeeeee Helen that's fantastic!!! Awesome, do you have photos you can share?

Meg, glad to hear your birthday's going well! Hope you really truly enjoy the rest of it.

River's new thing is to rifle through the rubbish and bring his 'finds' to me...usually empty food packets in the hope that there's something left. Ah well. Ha, he just brought my sister a chocolate wrapper...crazy kid.

[caddie]

Yippee helen!! I knew it!!! Now i am off to go make a matching set.lol
