Adele

Morning ladies,

Sharleen... aww the poor pet, i hope he's ok.. is he in any pain?

Rikki.. Jesse weighs 8.1kg :eek: and is 66cm. He doesnt look over weight i dont think. He can still fit into some of his 000 clothes. In his blue book he up to top of the marked section they should be in. Do formula fed babies put on more weight than BF? Im not too worried yet. Im not feeding him any more than he should. I suppose theyll loose alot when they start crawling and moving around too.

Anna**.. hope you got a good nights sleep :)

Caddie.. Panadol can be a savior at times. I think as long as you dont give it too often or more than directed its fine. Ive found it the best things so far for teething. Yay for scrapbooking! Im going to get mine out again today, been packed away since our visitors on the weekend, im starting to get withdrawals.

aboll.. aaww you poor thing. Will you get a chance to have a nap today? Go make youreself a strong cuppa.. sometimes helps me.

Jesse still seems fine which im glad. Starting to get really frustraited having to lie down all the time. Im trying to get him use to sitting up by holding him there, but does anyone know of a way to aid it along? He lies there atm and lifts his bum into the air moaning for us to pick him up.. its quite cute.

Well gotta go hang the washing out before boofhead wakes up. They said its suppose to be sunny and 30 out my way today... but it looks like its gonna rain any minute! Might have to use the fold out clothes lines.

Ciao for now.

oh Sharleen - im sorry to hear about your nephew mate. My thoughts and love are with you all. i hope its not as bad as the doctors first thought.
Anna and Caddie - ebay wont let us sell second hand nappies anymore, it goes under the underwear thingo. Totally peaved about it.
shell - its gonna be so yucky today I think 39 or 40. Ive got the 2 pools set up in the backyard cause Wilhelms having his friends here for his birthday. I didnt really pick a great time either 11 until 1 but they can just stay ing hte water the whole time.
Best be of and get my platers done
BBL when the madness has finished
xxmaz

Maz - Really? wow, that's gonna be annoying when I go to sell my stash! Good luck with the party today.

Adele - In our house, a boobsicle is breast milk that has been frozen in one of those freezer trays (we use the happy baby one with lid) and then put into the fresh food feeder thingo. Xander loves it!

Kellxx - Xander was pretty good last night, only woke once at 2am... he took nearly an hour to settle tho.

ahh thats what i thought you meant lol wasnt sure.

kellxx - no nap for me today its too hot to sleep. 40 over here. i cant have cooffee or tea doesnt agree with me lol.

maz- have a great day and stay cool matey.

adele

Anna**.. YAY Xander!!! WOO! Keep it up little man!! Bummer bought the settling though.. but one step at a time :)

Aboll.. hmmm well i heard once that an apple is just as good as a coffee? Dont know if thats true or not. Bring the munchins over my place, they can play with Jess and teach him to sit up while you catch some zzzzzz's.

Hmm just wrote a post and pressed submit and it said it was forbidden, maybe I'd been a naughty girl? Oh well I'll just rewrite it.

Sharleen- I pray its nothing too serious bout your nephew. Be such a worry waiting for those results.

Maz- Happy Birthday to Wilhelm. Pools sound like a great idea.

Anna**- Lol at boobsicle. Love the name!

Adele- Simon needs good kick up the butt. Next time just take the kids into your room and dump one (or both) on him. Tell him they're his kids too!

Kellxx- Generally FF bubs do put on more weight the BF bubs.

I've got my mothers group this arvo. The mum whos hosting this week has air con, yay. I think they all do except me, my turn to host next week so lets hope its cooler then cause 6 people and 6 bubs is going to feel like a furnace.

:

---

Do formula fed babies put on more weight than BF?

---

As a general rule, the BF bubs gain faster when newborn, but the FF ones overtake at about 4-5 months and grow bigger from then on.

Adele - I agree with Kellxx, try a natural energy boost like fruit as opposed to caffeine... it should give you longer lasting energy as opposed to an instant rush. Another thing, do you eat enough carbs? Without enough, you will run low on energy. Even Milo might get you feeling better again.

Last night was another s**t night!! All was good until 4.30, when Nina wouldn't settle. She'd had 2 quick feeds up until that point. Anna it took us about an hour to settle her too. But then she slept till 9.30 this morning with me. I've got MIL coming over today to play with Nina while I get some stuff done around here.
Sorry no personals, brain not functioning just yet. Have a good day girls.

hey girls,

thanks for the tips, i live on fruit and veg i only have bread in the morning for toast and pasta or rice at tea time with meat. when i have a rough night with the kids i normally just eat fruit the next day as i find im able to stay aake a bit longer.

shellbell- i agree with u and i have tried and he doesnt get it. my dad isnt to happy with him anyway. simon told the company to get the car fix instead of having it writtin off so im with out a car with two kids and a house with no a/c. i could have gotten a new car alot sooner than waiting for this on to be fixed. grrr.

kellxx- that would nice pitty we dont live in the same state lol. is jesse ff ?? riley is and he weight 7.3kgs he puts on an average of 100 - 200 grams every 2 days.

jodi- hope you get some rest while mil is there,

well im off

later

adele

Why does every nap time turn into a scream fest? it is so hard to get her to settle for her day sleeps. I get onto her tired signs but she won't sleep and just gets tireder and tireder til screaming!

Jodi.. aww you poor thing. Hope you can get a few zzz while MIL is over?

aboll.. thats true.. hmm well just fling em across and ill fling em back when theyre ready for their bath ;)
Yep hes a bottle baby. Has been since he was just over a week old. When he was Rileys age he was 8kg. But he was a big bub (8lb 9oz) when born. How heavy was Riley? Jess seemed to have a huge growth spurt between 2 - 3 months.. now he seems to be only putting on 100g per week. (is that enough?) I had a search on the net to try and find what the average is to their height and found a website called who dot int (world health standards). They have the child growth standards 0-60 months and Jesse seems to be normal on that.

Ahh well.. back to it.. lil guy is awake :)

Aww Shellbell you poor things! Would she have any wind? Have you got her room nice and dark? I recently put some curtains over Jesse's Verticals and its made the world of difference. Whats the temperature like in there? Ive got a fan blowing into Jesse's room. He wouldnt settle before in his bed, i had to rock him to sleep infront of the fan.
I hope she settles soon for you... sending some *settling* vibes xx

She's asleep now but just everyday, every sleep is a battle. Sometimes I just use her rocker cause that will take 10mins to settle rather than 20- 30mins it takes in the cot but soon she'll grow out of it so we try not to use all the time. Her room is fine, I do all the things i do for night sleeps just in the day she fights sleep so much. Wouldn't be too bad if she had 2 big sleeps rather than 4 short naps cause all those settling times for each nap add up, no wonder I feel exhausted. She used to fall asleep on the boob but rarely does so in last month. May have to attend settling school! Will have to chat with MCHN on Thurs. She's just not happy unless I'm holding her, even lying next to her on my bed doesn't cut it.I'll hold her then as soon as I put her down- screaming!

Jesse's been going through the clingy stage too, put him down and waaaaaaa. Could she be going through a growth spurt thats making her so unsettled lately? Have you tried maybe pushing her in a pram during the day since you dont want to use the rocker too much?
Go put your feet up now anyways while you have some time to yourself, watch a bit of Oprah ;)

hey girls,

shellbell- i had that problem with akira nad still do when it come to bed time at night. i end up yelling at her and then she ends up crying herself to sleep. its the same everynight and has been from day one she hated naps when she was a day old wanted to be awake all the time. hopefully ash doesnt turn out like that. try the pusher as she seems to like movement during the day.

kellxx- no worries ill send them there now lol akira is being a little **** today wanting to go outside when it is 40 out there. crazy kid.
riley was 7pound 7 oz. and 54cm long.. riley is going through a growing heaps every 2 weeks we have worked out he seams to grow an average of 3 to 5 cm a month. but he is going to be tall like his daddy i think akira is a tall kid as well. thats the normal amount they put on each week and he will pick up again in a few months as he has another big growing session.
im sure his is the right weight for his length it sounds like he is going to be a nice big boy when he is older. the dr said riley might hit 7ft when he is 16 ahhhh help me simon is only 6.2 so he will be as tall as my brother. bloody tall arses i think i missed out lol. im only 5.2 and got tall kids. something very wrong with that i think.:lol: :lol:
ive added you to msn as well


well im off to the lounge to put my feet up for a while

Adele

just a quick question to all the babies that are ff. when its hot do they go off there milk and just want water??? riley wont touch his milk today but is happy drink water. and is happy to have puree apple frozen into a cube put into that mesh food holder thingy. lol

adele

adele - ive go tthe same prob with Vy - its another 42 degree dya and she doesnt want her formula. I ended up running a cool bath (cause im as hot as aswell) got in with her and gave her her bottle in it. Settled her right down too.
Shell - VY is screaming that high p[itch scream when I go to put her down. It usually means their over tired. Settling school sounds good. Do what you think helps babe. Its hard being a mum but quiet obviously your a good mum cause your worried about Ash and your trying to find solutions.
Hello everyone else - i have the bigget heat headache out. Everyone has finally left, the kids had a blast and us parents just sweated. I cant believe my little man is 5, I could cry.
Caddie - got the liners they are so gorgeous. thank you honey. did you get your Cd?
Did you other guys get yours yet?
Right going for a panadol and some quiet time with my little men while elephant is asleep.
BBL

Not yet maz,I reckon tommorow.If the liners are no good just pass them on but i thought they were cute.It depends i suppose what type of nappies you are using.
Ruby goes off her formula too when hot and wants water.It took me a while to figure it out!!
Sometimes im sure its first child that has issues with sleeping.Millana did too and i think it was because i didnt recognise tired signs.
Ruby just gets grumpy when hot,hungary,wind or teeth.Bless her.
Hope all you girls are having a break when you need it.Maz are you drinking enough water for your headache?
My house is a pig again.I want to scrap but i also need to organise a picnic tommorow.Heading up to lottories west with my sis and a friend.Hope its a lovely day.
BBl miss millana is commanding my attention.I thought shed be tired going to gymnastics but alas. Ruby played up a little too so it was fun for me not.

maz - thats an idea i might try that when simon gets home. i havent got the cd yet im sure ill get it during the week. i know what you mean with the heat headache i have been drinking heaps of water but it wont go away even panadol isnt working. maz ive almost finished that thing im doing for vy should be able to post it off to you in a few weeks. i hope you will like it.

caddie- you have a nice day out tommorrow.

shellbell- riley cries if someone esle holds him apart from me its driving me insane . and when he is tried he get all angry and stays yell A alot lol.

ahh so hot i could cry.

later adele

Ness - Jed and I are considering naming #4 if its s girl Willoe. Dont know yet as its to much like Wilhelm. I like Poppee as well. Girls names are way to hard. I might have to let Nikolaus pick again (he picked Vy's name)

Hello Ladies!

how are we all??

i havent had a chance to ready through the posts as yet and i cant remember what i was gonna say lol

savanna is due for her 4 month vaccs but its too damn hot so i keep putting it off
im gonna have to get it done sometime this week.
been a lil busy lately. started packing up things here and there as we are moving house by end of march so i dont wanna leave it all till the last minute.

i really dont wanna leave this place as its the perfect house for us but the landlords are moving in after their wedding. :(

oh wells just another new adventure for us. we were hoping to be buying a house by now but we have decided to wait a lil bit more. gotta really save those $$$
we are such bad money savers!! hehe gotta tighten things up now lol

thunder storms are predicted tonight and its getting really windy. i hope savannas pool or the gazebo doesnt blow away haha... oh thats not funny what a waste that would be.

i have had to take her off the solids as she has been really constipated and is not pooing. my poor little darling i guess her little tummy is not ready as yet.

well i better go do something i guess.

take care ladies

luv ambz

ps- hi chrissy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! long time no post!! yay for you for catching up hehe
caitlyn looks sooooooo gorgeous in her pool!

hey girls,

nessa- i dont think she is evil. she might be crapy cause she has to share u now if you know what i mean. have you tried taking away something that means alot to her eg tiger. sounds mean but it might work. didnt you have to do that with annikas name as well???


maz- i went through every name and ended up with a boy japanesse name for akira lol. simon liked really girly names like emily and that.

well im off

adele

Yep Maz I got your cd thanks buddy man I'm TIRED full on. MIght have a nap on the couch, I can hardly keep my eyes open. It is windy hey Ambz! I should really put some washing out. Might tell dh it's his turn...My turns been the last couple of months :lol: Ahh boys.
Well, loving you and leaving you! xo

Hi chatterbox's!
Thanks to all for support from my venting, these bubs of ours like to keep us stressed and worrying.

Been to mothers group in the lovely air-con, stayed there 3 hours, didn't want to leave! My place isn't too bad though cause no-one being home couldn't heat up too much.

Ahh I feel like a nap, don't think I'll sleep much in this weather... where is the cool change? Not in sight hot days til Sunday!

What do you girls think of the name Bonnii? Its another Nikolaus picked name, nice and old fashioned and yet not a name heard often. I like being a bit different. I didn't mind Scarlett as Caddie said many many moons ago but its to much like Vyolett. We really want something that will go with all the kids names, Nikoalus, WIlhelm, Vyolett.........
Any hints would be fab girls

I love the name Scarlett... Sorry Maz (please don't be offended!) but I'm not really a fan of Bonnie myself, but not sure why. Also, the name Scarlett would go really well with the other kids names.

I had Xander weighed today, he's 7.3kgs now... but as I'm losing a lot of weight my lactation consultant said I might need to start solids in a week or two (and she is very anti-before-6-months). I was also recommended to start him on a dummy to cut out his comfort feeds... and guess what? he loves it! He will only take the Nuk or Pigeon ones, but that's cool - and it is working too, he has only wanted boobie 4 times today so far! yay!

So excited, my new BumGenius V2's just arrive... better go give Xander a nappy change :lol:
ETA: About fluffy mail!

Well today was another LONG day. Nina only ended up having 2 40min sleeps, which took about an hour each time to get her to do that! Heath came home an hour early to give me a break. MIL came over to help, but when Nina was getting cranky, she thought she was bored and would change the game or toy and keep playing with her, problem was she was tired! So that's why she didn't have her usual naps. The whole time she was here I was trying to settle Nina.

anna** - with the advice from the lactation consultant, when did she recommend you give the dummy? During the day to cut out feeds or night, or both? How do you feel about starting solids in a couple of weeks? I know you wanted to wait till at least 6 months. I haven't had Nina on any solids since coming back from holidays, I wanted to sort out her excessive feeding, but I started back on it today and she's only had 4 feeds today, and this afternoon has been a lot happier than usual. I gave her some rice cereal at 3.30, see if that'll fill her up a little.

shell - good to hear you enjoyed mothers group with a/c!! How did she go with settling her today?

Sorry but I've forgotten what everybody else said. bbl with more personals when I read through them again :rolleyes:

maz- thanks for the chat you made me sane again lol. with the baby names i like scarlett it goes with other kids names if you know what i mean.

anna- wow he is the same weight as riley lol and a good mth or so older lol. thats good to hear he took to the dummy that might make it a bit more easier for you. how do you feel about giving him food already??

jodi - riley wont take his bottle at all today so i gave him more solids and he seem to be happy.

shellbell - glad your house wasnt to bad when you got home i would have cried if it was hot. how is ash going today??

well im off for a while going to have a shower to de- sweat lol. and ohh ohh there is a cool change that is bring rain long your way by the looks and it will hit adelaide tonight yay but its still going to be 21 over night yuck and 34 tomorrow.

adele

Jodi- i hate when people do that when babies are tired. Why do they just presume they're bored? Ash settled okay today only cause being at mothers group she had me to fall asleep on but even getting her to sleep in my arms took 10mins.

Anna**- thats fantastic bout the dummy and comfort feeds. Ash just chews on her dummy, i try to give it rather than comfort feeds but it'll only preoccupy her for a certain length of time. A week or 2 til you start solids sounds okay, it won't be that much sooner than the 6 month mark and if he's ready should be okay.

maz- I'm with Anna, love Scarlett but not so big on Bonnie, its too olden day for me, my nanna gets called Bonnie though even though her names really Thelma!

It is sooooooo hot! Still in bout 38 degrees at moment. Got to 42. I think I'll just have to put Ash in singlet and nappy for bed, usually in heat I put her cotton thin sleep bag on but i think even thats too hot at moment.

Woaah finally Jesse's asleep, what a day!

aboll.. always the way.. when its too hot for them outside they want out and when its fine they want to bug you all day long..
Yeh, DH and i are both quite tall, as is my dad and brother.. so id say Jesse has a high chance of being tall too.
Re formula fed.. yeh Jesse will not drink a full bottle when its hot.. though i usually have the air con pumping so it doesnt get too bad in here. Do you warm Riley's bottle up? Jesse has room temperature but if its extra hot ill run the bottle under the cold tap for a little bit. At least if Riley's drinking water then he wont dehidrate himself which is most important. Id say he just doesnt like eating much when its hot, i know i dont either. Im really going to have to get one of those trap thingys when Jesse starts solids, they sound like a hit!

I love my brother-inlaw's sister's daughter's (lol) name.. Nikeira as in Nik-ear-ra. I think its gorgeous... but obviously i cant name mine that. I wouldnt have a clue what numner 2's name will be.. boy or girl. It was so hard deciding on Jesse and Tyler. We've said we both have to like the name otherwise its out the window... so will be interesting.
Maz.. i think Bonnii is really nice :)

Jesse had a terrible day settling too, which is very unlike him. I think the immunisation may have set in as from memory at the 2 monthers he was like this a few days after. He just doesnt want to be put down and when he is, he rolls over onto his tummy and gets frustraighted cos he's stuck, so i roll him back walk over to the kitchen and by the time im there, he's on his tummy again. Would only sleep if i rocked him to sleep, then when he woke i had to rock him again, he usually self settles. But, by the time he gets back to normal, he's going to have another jab on Sunday.. oh the joy of it all :)

Hope it cools down tonight for you all out there.. i cant wait for Autumn!

Maz - I like Scarlette too! Bonnie is nice but not my cup of tea. Scarlette suits your other kids names better.
Dont anyone steal my name picks ;) It takes me forever to get Dh to agree to anything.

Shell - it is hot isnt it? I can hear thunder rumbling around up here but no rain. My elec bill is going to be huge running the a/c like this!

kellxx - when its hot i just give it to him at room temp sometimes i warm it up on a cool day. like today i tried everything i could think off even running it under the tap putting it in the freezer for 5 min. but nothing worked. i got my trap thing from target as they are down the road from me lol only cost $11 but works a treat.

with the name picking we only had a girls name picked out when i was preggie with akira and we didnt know what sex she was either till the day. and with riley we only had his name so we were lucky with both of them .
sorr to hear jesse was unsettled today. hope he is a bit better tomorrow ahh the poor thing it never ending . i gotta do riley in 2 weeks and then its a day in the hospital to make sure his blood is ok with it all as he got a blood infection called bacteremia ( not a very nice one to get ).

well im off to the lounge again as i feel sick its to hot for me and all i seem to be doing is drinking water.

have a good nite girls and behave kiddos

later

Adele

maz, i love Bonni, my daughter jessica was going to be called either ebony or bonnie, than my ex changed his mind after she was born, so she ended up on jessica, mind you in 1993 every 2nd girl was named jessica, but it was the only name we both would agree on, and she was nameless for a month.

Hi girls

Maz - love Bonnie or I think Poppy is also pretty...

Shellbell - we have the same prob here settling bubs - some days Rylee doesn't nap until the afternoon by that time she is a complete grump, I have to be really vigilant to try and get her to go to sleep, but it is hard work isn't it??? no answers to that one.....

I'm stuffed, was up 5 times to Rylee last night and have to pack today and get organised for our holiday, oh no, can't believe it she's awake again was only down for 30 mins, there's my break over.....

Talk soon.

To the girls that asked how I feel about starting solids? Not particularily good to be honest, I would rather wait and will stretch it out as close to 6 months as possible. I might however introduce rice cereal via 1 teaspoon into a full bottle of EBM if I do start early... at least that way it is 'watered down' so to speak.

Shell - Xander was like that with a dummy a while back, but the LC showed me a way of gettign him to take it. Basically I put it in his mouth as soon as he starts comfort sucking (when tired) after a feed - it took a few brands to find one he'd even let me put in his mouth, and then hold him against the breast whilst he sucks on the dummy and until he fell asleep. I only did that once and he got the hang of how to keep it in his mouth.

Jodi - The LC suggested the dummy to cut out the comfort feeds and to resettle him, both day and night... I will see how it goes tonight. I've already noticed that when he is hungry, the dummy wont cut it, so I'm not worried about him missing meals!

ETA: The LC said she wouldn't normally recommend what she did - except for that Xanders' comfort feeding/sucking is getting out of control and I need some sort of break from him being on the breast all the time.

anna** - do what you feel is best for you and Xander. If you would prefer to wait until 6 months, then good for you. See how you go with the rice cereal in the EBM. I do the same thing with Nina about giving the dummy just after a feed and hold her close to the breast. She'll cuddle up to the breast too, then fall asleep. Very cute.

maz - Bonnii is very cute. I like Laurin's suggestion too on Poppy.

Laurin - good luck with getting the packing done. Hope Rylee settles for you soon.

LOL Anna, yeah I was worried River would miss feeds cos of the dummy but NOPE, when he's hungry he spits it a fair distance! River comfort sucks on our pinkie fingers, so I do the ol switcheroo to get the dummy in! But lately he only takes it when he's tired, so for example, tonight I put him down, let him suck my pinkie and when I saw the eyelids begin to droop, I popped the dummy in and held it til he started sucking on that.

Having said that, he started crying a few minutes later, but Rans and I have restarted our 'wait 10 mins policy' if it's just a tired cry, and he'd stopped crying and nodded off after about 8 mins. He seems to need to expend that last bit of energy or something, cos he sleeps really well when he has that little cry before bed.

Maz - I got your cd, thanks babe, it's on in River's room now! And what a beautiful pic, I'm so glad you sent it - it's got pride of place on the fridge! And I must talk about you a lot, cos my sis picked it up and said 'who's this?' and I said it's Nikolaus, Wilhelm and Vyolett, and she said 'oh Maz's kids.' :lol: Nik really looks like you!
And I like Bonnii, but not sure how I like it with your last name - I much prefer it as a middle name - Scarlett Bonnii.

Got a dress for the weddings I have coming up - it's okay. I got a bit sad about my body, cos I used to be rather slim and I know it's my fault for not exercising...ever! Still. I miss feeling pretty.

Our aircon's on tonight, it's so hot! I warned dh about the bill but he doesn't care, he's just so hot! (oh just got him to turn it off)

Ach, I'm so sleep deprived, why aren't I sleeping!! Night girls!

hi girls,
Forgot to say thanks for the cd maz, it was waiting for us when we got back from our holidays and ainsleigh loves it (she loves music!)

anna, i am sure that whatever you decide to do with xander re feeding will be right. he is five months now, so if you do hold off for two weeks as you were thinking he would be close to six months. have you tried him with a spoon to see if he pushes it out? apparently that is a good indicator of if they are ready.... and apparently with the thickened formula ainsleigh is already getting cereal as that is what they use to thicken it (and here i thought i was not giving her solids!) good luck... btw, we'll have to catch up again soon now silly season is nearly gone, you too caddie.

ok, i am rambling now as i am so tired. i added three albums from our holiday and christening to ainsleigh's webpage if anyone wants to have a sneaky peek. http://www.babysites.com/sites/babypassi/

goodnight girls x

Good morning gals,

Hope its alot cooler out your way today.. tis gonna be hotter out mine :frown:

Well, Jesse scared the ba-jeebers outta me last night. Put him to bed and he was asleep. About half an hour later i was bring the washing in and then heard him screaming. So both DH and i ran in to find him on his tummy and face planted into the bed! He had rolled over for the first time in bed. Im so glad at least that he yelled out. I thought in his grobag it maybe a little harder to roll, but obviously not. I wanted to sleep on his floor just to make sure he was ok, but DH convinced me to sleep in the spare bed (which is next door to his room, our room is alot further away), which i did. Every little sound i was up, but he didnt roll over again thank god. So, im going to try and really teach him how to roll back from his tummy onto his back today. Its terrible, all the things that go through your head after something like that happens.. im going to be terrible the first time he stubs his knee!

Aboll.. id say he just didnt feel like eating because it was hot. Like you said he still drank water so he was getting some fluids at least. Aww poor Riley.. i hope its gone and he's all clear. The things they have to go through!

Anna**.. im not starting Jesse on solids until he's 6 months... its just whatever you feel comfortable with. I may give him some rice cerial a week or so before but we just prefer to wait. I think im just a little nervious with it all, and he seems happy enough with his forumla atm.

Anyways.. thats all for me for now..

Ciao for now
xx
